    I bet that is a lava planet with super high gravity and I am going to die.

    Better go find out!

    You would think so, but I ran in to some intrepid solar farmers:

    Turns out it was not lava but something called, "Rock Desert." Was a great experience; we have some neat artists that contribute to this game.

    Personally i use xnview to convert a screenie to .jpg and change the size to 800x500. Then i c/p it in the BP directory and name it exactly as the BP .epb (and don't forget it's case sensitive)
    That works every time

    Ok, started a new game, this time on Public, Project Eden again of course, Dead Planet (where else?).
    Built another HV, unarmed and un-shielded.

    :D

    Honestly I never expected this to be such a popular starting planet but I'm glad it is! And I hope it shows the developers that players do want some harder optional content too.

    I've been itching to try starting on the Dead World ever since I saw Germanicus' pics, maybe later tonight!

    ? - is there a "weather clear" type cmd for a SPS world? I wound up waiting multiple in-game days for the weather to clear so I could ss these.

    This Castle Base build was tough to get going on. Had to really go out of my comfort zone and to force that I started by choosing a build site I'd never consider. From there sleep deprivation and godmode (to carry a couple thousand concrete blocks and so pragmatism wouldn't win) led to this. Quite 'organic' for me, heck I was able to 'see' and incorporate the terrain into the build. The first pic shows the HV entrance gate (far side is almost a cliff, so a fun woohoo! exit) and I didn't pave the whole thing, yay. In mid upper right theres also a patch of terrain I plan on keeping for an inner courtyard. Now I'll be the first to admit I went a bit nuts on turrets, though they do make for a pretty show on Attack nights. :D

    Ha! Welcome Friends! Have a cervasa... oh? you can't stay? :D
    [​IMG]

    Good news was all that waiting led me to build this new HV.
    It's purpose built as a Short-range Light Ground Assault Vehicle. While it has a Shield it doesn't have much else.
    No MedBay/Cons/Frig/O2/Storage, other than an Ammo controller w 375SU.
    It's intended use is as the Second stage of a CV mothership POI Attack.
    Initial would be bringing in the CV say ~a kilometer out. (with stims a doable run back if your ship is shot out from under you)
    First Attack stage would be an SV run to clear either a corridor or possibly all the large defensive turrets.
    Second stage is this HV to clear all the enemys outside squads, and do a close recon; taking out external anti-personel sentries.
    <yadda yadda boo :p I'm actually showing it off cause I really like the front profile! That 'bowtie' look is new for me and a step up ;)>

    so, again, 'other than annoying Hummel...' (i really need to stop doing that!), this is what I've been up to! :cool:

    dang... sooo close! <lol> I'd actually tried both 'weather help' then 'weather clear' but since there's no 'help'... (grumble grumble:()

    Thanks Rav, appreciate the info :)

    Raven could you explain to me how to get on your senario and is it okay for coop for 2 people. Does it also have difficulty settings you can use like normal game.

    Workshop link is in my signature to subscribe to it. Coop mode might be broken due to a game bug, so you might have to run a dedicated server instead to play with a friend.

    Otherwise you set up the difficulty settings just like any other game.

    Not much playtime today. But I did finish most of the exterior on the new FA-040 Brawler (name subject to change), still needs some fine tuning with the textures since right now it's mostly just color.
    It's another relation to the FA-005 and 008 "space helicopter" types, but using Instigator coloration rather than the usual red.
    The interior is still untextured and uncolored though. That'll be tomorrow's job after I finish the exterior.
