    It was a busy day….
    First I played a bit online, thought those are nice Scenes:

    Then I was Streaming the process of the rebuild of the Revenant:

    Last but not least, off-the-cam, I was playing a bit with small/starter CV's…
    The ugliest CV ever:

    And a promising candidate:

    In terms of the function or the aesthetic?

    For the look - overall I dig it, although I personally wouldn't use that many angle breaks on the front side because there's a way to maintain a relatively uniform slope w/o breaking up the declinations so much. Whenever possible I try to keep the angles smooth or break up surfaces with with a combination of insets or extrusions. It's a really big craft so there's plenty of room to introduce trickier fidelity and shaping. This is all just a matter of preference of course. You could give the basic hull of that craft to a dozen people and each interpretation could vary significantly w/o following any reference material.

    I finished off updating the Naked Molerat and published it as a separate build from the original.
    (I figured folks might have liked how it was originally)

    It's good for clearing out underground bases, the only problem I have found is that the max height for the hover thrusters makes it dig a downward-sloping tunnel.

    Before I went and my first trip for sathium, no pictures taken, I first spent some time in creative to touch up what I plan to use as my first CV in this survival SP game. Discovered that I was getting a little toasted in the hangar, so I stretched the CV a couple blocks.

    A9 FTB_2019-03-18_19-58-23.png

    The two culprits were the thrusters...

    A9 FTB_2019-03-18_19-58-48.png

    ... and the gravity generator.

    A9 FTB_2019-03-18_19-59-02.png

    The stretch seemed to take care of the issue. And while I was at it, I added up all the storage and estimated that a very reasonable full load would be about 3.5 kt. So I bumped up the thrusters a little for volume mass.

    Even after completing my first trip for sathium, I estimate that I will need to make at least one more trip with the SV for a split load of sathium and neodymium. Once I get the CV, then I think I might be able to cut down on the multiple trips.

    Don't forget about Fixed Drill Mode vs Free Drill Mode. ;)

    This new direction is definitely worth further exploration! :D

    Just trying to create my own planet. Then I had the nice idea of "automatic drilling stations".
    I grabbed one of the templates and rebuilt it according to my ideas.

    Now you have the impression of fully functional drilling rigs.

    Then I had the idea to build a space port with an "elevator into space". I know this is not really possible.
    But I wanted to see if I could at least create the illusion.

    Whoever built this Zirax Patrol CV beast . BRAVO!!! This was a awesome battle... I didn't know there were AI Patrol CVs in space that were built for real combat. It took out my CV in a few minutes and I'm having to do a a fresh start just to get on a planet where I can get the resources to get back into space and repair my CV. My CV wasn't ready for this. haha I was also surprised at the size of this thing, I'm so used to my CV being bigger than the patrol CVs . This is the type of CVs I want to battle in space because this gives me a reason to built a warship.

    My Ship is stuck in space in another Sector while I back on the started planet. Now this is what I call fun. haha
