    I share the Internet, so only my laptop is online, so I don't use the workshop. Get it from here...

    A few days ago I started a new survival game with volume and CPU enabled. Finally. That has required some changes in play style, of course. I put together a small family of SV designs based on my own play style, which includes taking SVs into tunnels to assault bases from underground. For that reason, I made them long and skinny, with as narrow a cross section as I could manage, while still meeting my personal requirements for firepower and thrust.

    They aren't pretty - as much as I love the fantastic designs a lot of you guys put together, when it comes to survival play, I value tiny SV with minimal protrusions. These things are basically a bunch of subsystems stuck together with a thin skin on the outside. Common features of all three designs:

    Unlock level 12
    6 gatlings
    Shield
    T3 CPU
    Constructor
    Armor locker
    Detector
    Wireless
    O2 Station
    Fridge
    Enough thrust to handle a 5G planet
    Stops almost as fast as it starts

    The first one I made is Warp Spike, with a warp drive and 2.25 kSU storage:

    Once I have a CV, I take my warp-capable SV apart and feed it back into the factory to build Spike, without the warp drive and with 1.65 kSU storage:

    20200717034543_1.jpg

    And finally, after playing a bit with the original Warp Spike, I add 4 RCS and upgraded the storage to 8.25 kSU. This is Warp Spike II. I also moved two forward facing engines that had been obscured inside the hull.

    These are all in the Steam workshop:

    Today I...
    I'm trying to extinguish my ass, which is constantly burning from such news ... I'm trying to convince myself that I need to go in and finish some things in creativity ... but so far the flame from the ass looks like a nuclear explosion.

    Of course I like the ship =) battle brick ... no offense. But he is arranged so that when the shields fall, he will die very quickly. Can I look at its flight characteristics?

    If I played PvP, I'd worry about what happens when the shields go down. In PvE, that rarely happens to me. But I agree, once the shields go down, I'm in trouble in that ship.

    When you say flight characteristics, I'm guessing you mean the detail statistics from the control panel? I put all those up in the workshop. Here are all three of them.

    Today my brother and I did some exploring.

    Found a riddle!
    20200719003310_1.jpg


    For some reason we decided a "Hell" class planet would be a nice place to visit. It wasn't.

    Found a nice tall mountain on a Jungle moon to park the ship on:

    Also found a few various things to fix in the scenario. :D

    Today I...
    I shared it with Helion ... The tests in Ravien's scenario suited me. This is not a bad ship for pve.
    But I myself prefer to fly Zeus, even though Helion is more powerful, maneuverable and stronger. =)
    Published by Mad Spider, but did not make a visual ... I mean the projectors are placed, sensors are also placed, but until the developers decide on the future ... I will not do it.
    I also updated Anubis, remade the back door, now it does not interfere with leaving the capsule;) and painted the turn signal, which for some unknown reason lost its color.
    Now I will finish the ship t2.
    And then I'll start finishing my aircraft carrier ... but this will be the last thing I will do in the current situation. Let's see if it will change for the better ... you will not understand the developers :D

    Right now. I imagine that I am sitting on top of my ship, sunning myself in the hot sun, looking at the beaches and the sea.

    PS. Empyrion could offer a luxury vacation... And unique tourist destinations...

    I wanted the thingies to be protected by the SV's shield... Too bad there's no 3x5x1 shutter, that gap drives me nuts...

    Today in the RG playthrough, we headed out of Io space looking for Z&E roids to mine. Kai's moons were accommodating both in mats and scenery

    20200719165539_1.jpg

    Just before we left, I upgraded this starter CV with scavenged med thrusters and the tool turret from the Ilmarinen. Had quite the merry dogfight with a drone that tried to pounce on us while mining. The kid got dizzy- I laughed and told him he'd have had even more fun if I had my HOTAS hooked up. One turret took a couple hits, but that was pretty much it

    20200719170417_1.jpg

    Found this on one moon, Progenitors, I guess?

    Storm moved in IRL, so parked on a dead roid to break for supper. Love the view

    Got some progress on the scripts for Mirai A12, thanks to @shadowiviper !
    Loading my docked and powered off vessels (HV/SV) with 'reserves' :D
    Now going to adapt this for medics, if such a fridge exists on the docked vessels :p

    Very good galactic survivor!
    In today's class we are going to see how to block and leave a POI defenseless with only the drone and the drill.

    Muy bien sobreviviente galáctico!
    En la clase de hoy vamos a ver como bloquear y dejar sin defensas un POI con solo el dron y el taladro.
