    Yes! I would love to see some more importable alphabets and symbols for the displays in EGS too, and would really really like to see an official emitter block/device for holo-display.

    I'm with you on the bridge ones maybe being a little iffy - those are the ones I am most mixed about. No place to hide the monitors there (for now... muahahaha) unfortunately. I've already gone ahead and uploaded the change anyway because *I* think it's cool ;)

    There's a ton of symbols you can use on screens. A lot of the unicode characters work. You can copy and paste them in from a Web page.
    You can also copy them from the built in windows "charmap" program. There's a lot of alien looking ones in there.

    Started out the evening on a brand new adventure in Ravien's Snow dwarf start:


    20190702214544_1.jpg


    Finally got that **** to wo...

    wait a sec.... I have no armor!


    20190702214645_1.jpg

    Holy ****! That's amazing! It is something like -25 or so up in this mountains! Gotta Skeeedaddle!

    After seeing an abandoned colony... that promptly filled with spidery noises and screams when I entered running away from a drone, I then re-affirmed that I was, in fact, wearing no armor and unarmed and so I decided to run for it all the while the plasma drone chased me for a good 1.5 Kilometers - dodging around rocks while desperately setting up the temp conditioner was a harrowing experience.

    But at last I found a relatively peaceful area:


    20190702223333_1.jpg

    After a great deal of hard work and then some much needed respite in a hastily constructed base I finally made it to level 7, spawned my adorable little scout SV IMP, and then it was payback time for a certain plasma drone...

    (Pretty blue glowy in the mountains)

    While I was there I wanted to take a more in-depth peek at that lost colony...

    Oh my...


    20190703005950_1.jpg


    What have I gotten myself into?! I have light armor and a shotgun! I am but a babe in the woods!

    Yeah, yeah, I see what you want me to do Ravien:


    20190703010756_1.jpg

    and I ain't doin it! :p

    So I think it will be off tooooo... the moon? I gotta fetch me some cobalt or something.... How on earth am I going to get enough for warp? But that is for tomorrow.

    I hope it works out. Two things I hope for you.

    1. You keep creating. Even someone learning to improve himself like me can see the improvements in your works.

    2. There are a few of the older BP I am hoping survive all this. In my case, my top choice would be the Aegis container, though I might like to see that redone with wireless and controllers instead of all the old boxes. Which reminds me, I need to go fav and subscribe to @Paul's. Seems I missed that link earlier way back when I first subscribed to the container.

    Having finished the overhaul of the FA-005C, I started on the FA-008C Seer today.
    Spent hours changing the rear end of the ship and getting rid of those horrid rear thruster pods on there. What was I thinking with those hideous things? After several attempts I finally have some nice, fat, rear thruster pods.
    Tomorrow i'll be redoing the front and the main engine pods. Those ones are also pretty damn bad. Their wonky shape on the top is... annoying to look at.

    FA-005C Hunter on the left; FA-008C Seer (refit) in the middle; FA-008A Seer (original) on the right.
    I think the new pods will be more like the old Hunter's ones and the rear pods.
    13 Chrono_2019-07-04_02-27-51.png
    The new parts aren't textured or anything yet. The connectors that connect the rear pods to the fuselage could do with some work, they're a big odd-looking too.

    Since it is a beginner base, you may want to swap out the windows to remove the Sathium requirement.

    i was going to do that, but then every planet has a crashed capital vessel so the idea is to get the Sathium from that.

    Started chiseling away at the outer shell of the Excalibur III to give it a bit more shape and definition. Added the first few touches of texture and color just as a test. Also reshaped the housing for the rocket launchers into less of a turret and more of a sloped mount type of thing. Still not sure I like it...

    Today's starting point,... almost a blank slate,...

    Current development.... (note: cannon turrets still there, just retracted in these pics)

    Today I finished up and published my first Space Station, the Axis Mundi - A Domicile for the Cosmos. Its meant as a personal home, not as a mass traffic trading station.

    Its class 5 (BARELY) and has everything one would need from shield generator, deconstructor, constructors, furnace, grow plots etc.

    It has 2 landing pads for large SV's, two small ones for the cargo/garage area and 2 CV docks

    It has a full interior and all kinds of goodies, but I am not gonna spam the thread with a ton of pics :)

    I hope some people may make use of this. Thank you!
