    Slowly building up my Space Dock until enough Material is collected to start building of the small Escort Class CV. A Trip to the nearby Moon provided me with 2 crashed Vessels of which one has a L-Truster for my CV as several M-Truster. Also to Rocket Launchers. Yeah, will be a lvl 17, maybe I do a 2-Versions-Safe like my Space Dock which has now reached level 10. Specking off:

    Farm and one CC 320k added

    well... that was a kick to the nether regions, heh :)

    You nailed it SR, the new flight bits make it impossible to crash due to being near or even a bit over weight.

    In a CV with just a single Small Thruster in each direction, and a full on brick shape, which I over loaded by 8 tons (just 1% over, but enough to be sure it was over), I came 'screaming' in from space at 24 m/s, passed into the gravity field, sped up to mid 30s m/s then hit 'O' to level off and damned if the ship didn't come to a complete stop in ~300 meters or so, and just sit there hovering like an idjot... o_O

    To add insult to injury I went ahead and landed, tried to lift off vertically, which i couldn't, but if I headed forward and lifted the nose then it took off and gained altitude pretty well...

    So everyone can safely ignore my previous posts about safety factors when landing; that gunk no longer applies to EGS. :(

    My best guess at this moment is that if you can somehow get a ship off the ground, that would be a 'safe' total mass to drop out of orbit with.

    I need a drink...

    @ravien_ff Well I wouldn't call it "epic" but, maybe one day, when I have another go in Creative I might try to Triple its Size to Harbor 3 Vessels. Or just putting several side by side - the costs are rather low as almost non of the high end Materials have been used - currently only because of the one CPU Extension and the Adv Constructor and the Armored Doors.

    I suspect it is safe even if the ship couldn't take off from the planet. With mass limiting velocity, you'll come down like a feather. It's like Eleon really wanted to make an underwater game all along and finally figured out what they needed to change to make it happen.

    yeah, I want to try it again to see if it's even possible to crash

    ha! that's funny SR :) , and with the neutered top speeds we're hammered with it's even more like a 'Sub Hunter' game...

    dang... it's all starting to make sense now... <conspiracy theory alert!> <dive! dive!> :p:D

    Yeah, I keep saying the new flight model feels like a submarine with omnidirectional propulsion :D

    Last night I....

    Screwed up, a lot.

    Been trying to do a little video capture. Really had it going good the night before, when I managed to corrupt my save. Last night though, it was darn near comical. Did the bit with "Build a Motorcycle", promptly drowned it and lost it in the water. -Cut-

    Tried again, and promptly drowned it again and lost it. -Cut-

    Finally managed to not screw that up, and got mauled to death by one of those little green pistachio bugs trying to mine. -Cut-

    Tried mining again, knocked myself down the hole I'd made with my drone. -Cut-

    Decided to step away for a few minutes, came back, got back to work, got my base built, and realized I'd forgotten to record any of it.

    -$#!*-

    Fine, I'll try it all over again tonight. Eventually I'll get this all right... or the game will finally reach Release status, one or the other.

    Sorry for the like, but it's just hillarious. I'm a bad person, I know.

    @IndigoWyrd ...you remember the Quote: "Why do we Fall? To learn how to pick ourselves up!"

    So...You have the right Spirit! Never give up;)

    I laughed at my own misfortune... probably no better a person myself.

    Not my creation but @CrazyZ doing:cool:.

    Made a Trip to the Planet to place 10 Water Generators and 4 O² Emergency Gens... Space makes me fast so breathless...:rolleyes:

    It slowly takes the desired shape and picks up Size Class 23 soon.

    has any buddy been dealing with a lot of docking bugs seems a few of my friends have in survival, even a crazy bug as going to the moon, insta teleport back to planet, and a lot of internal errors etc,etc,etc

    an on a side note ive been kinda afraid to go in survival just to have these bugs happen to me lol

    So far I had not one issue in Survival. W/V and CPU turned on.
