F: Petrenko, right to the point, what about the prototype? Petrenko: Sir, we conducted the last field trials on the territory of the Zirax Empire. We carry out the last calibration ... F: And? Petrenko: The prototype is ready for mass production. There is one drawback with high gravity terrain can be a hindrance to movement. F: Another department is dealing with this issue ... something else? Petrenko: Resolve the question? F: shoot .. Petrenko: Why do we need all this, do we spend a wild amount of resources on the development and testing of advanced military and civilian technologies? You even sent your personal frigate to deliver the prototype to the test site. F: The survival of humanity in the Andromeda galaxy depends on us no less than on the UCH. If our technology cannot compare with the threat of Ziraxes or Pirates, the entire mission to save humanity will be doomed. Petrenko: I understand. ... end of transmission ...
So here I am, pleasantly minding my own business while converting a station for nefarious purposes: When I discover the most horrible of evils! Large parts of the interior is formed from half-blocks! I really need to start a petition or something... be one of the fun people in college round-a-bouts or squares with little pamphlets, "Do you think half-blocks are the source of all black, monstrous energy in the universe?" Yes/No?
Made me think of the hull shapes that resulted from my trying to use more of the block shapes. I wasn't actually aiming for this, just what came out of doodling Havnt got around to do anything with this yet, but it does fly nice.
(Starts whistling in the corner). Little secret about Luark Station, a LOT of the floor is thin blocks. An entire level was left (almost) empty by the original builder and I (mostly) left it that way because I was trying to keep it as close to the original as I could.
I've been away for a bit, can anyone tell me when they started the new thing with the thruster placement requiring them not to be blocked? I noticed when I spawned in an SV on a MP exp server I was getting errors, but I was not getting the errors for the same ship in creative. Do I have to load up a survival game in order to make sure my thruster placement will be active?
Found out that my SV can't take a rocket hit. One shot and lost my air tank, air dispenser and my fuel tank and down she went. I thought I would stop and pick up some silicon on my way to the trading station to make and sale some simple weps. I got out of my sv and wasn't quick enough to dodge the rocket guy that came out of the troop transport. That's not counting the dog that was lapping at my rear. After my untimely death I respowned in the same location retrieved my stuff, quickly got my shot gun and shot the dog all while jumping around to keep from getting hit with the rocket and then took the guy's head off with two blast from my shotgun. Right! Left my portable constructors at my base making fuel. Luckily I still had the iron org in my sv I was going to use. Quickly made a new constructor and crafted myself a new fuel tank popped it in. put what spar fuel I had in it and headed to the trading station. Proceeded to craft the guns to sale and when all done had my heavy armour all t2 weps and a patched SV with a gaping hole in the side. Lesson learned! Never leave home without a portal constructor
Well after @RazzleWin said something that reminded me I had a Jupiter-ish hull I hadn't got around to doing anything with yet, I spent some time filling it out and painting it: General mid game and progression exploration/mobile base becoming a late game long range mining ship. Havnt decided an unlock level/tier yet. Probably 15, T3. 2 x 320k cargo, 80k ammo, 10 cargo containers, 4 adv constructors, 4 small. 8 turrets (4 top, 4 bottom), currently 6 sentries - all retractable. Split level internal hangar, external landing pad. 36 grow plots, 4 each food processor and fridge Full Medical, shower/toilet, bed and personal repair, internal SV/HV repair and a teleporter 6 mounts for weapons (mainly for mining lasers, but could use for rockets and/or pulse lasers) 1 extra turret mount for tool turret (front top) Highly wired up for signals and automation on teleport and repair station, power switch for repair bay. and various other power groups, harvest and turret control + a ground mode (retract lower turrets, deploys sentries, lock ramps, hangar etc open).
Today I did some fixes on my scenario to help it run on dedicated servers. Also found some various random things that needed fixing while doing testing. A data cache with a dead planet in the background: Legacy space: A Kriel blockade after ambushing a poor Terran coming out of warp: A Frontier Settler colony on the new Arid Mesa planet. The mayor offers you a mission to defeat an evil warlord: A com tower stands watch with the Warlord's Fortress in the background:
I know I just worked it out! New Game! So @Khazul you putting that new CV up soon. I need new toys to play in this new toy box
Yes - will be updating everything on my workshop in the next day or so. The new ones (this and the two mantis' CVs) will be going up once they had their shakedown cruises, so should be soon Planning on sticking the mod up at sometime along with the SV miners.
Today I decided to quickly see in a single player what I have to deal with in the release and stumbled upon an interesting picture, a crashed titan, apparently now also falls apart into titanium deposits =)))))
