Went to do an updated design for my Dreadwing SV, but ended up in a totally different place as things went on. Ended up with this:
so today started converting one of the ravagers settlements to an abandoned settlement for the faction
I'm sure he is doing it deliberately to prevent idiots from sitting net to him in the middle of a covid pandemic.
Today finished and submitted Ravager Ruined settlement and finally named wolf battle carrier RFS Lupus Proelium and released on workshop https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2753541166
I want so say you have to get these from a Black Market vendor. Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong.
Finished and submitted more RAV poi's today, from left to right Moon Outpost Old Shrine Ruined Watchtower Ruined Habitat
Did some more tinkering: It is neat, but I feel as though I could have done better.... hmmm... Steam link if you are interested in using it. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2759059784
My second project for the night is something of an educational lesson: Not sure how it will turn out but hopefully it will be interesting. Reminder; always remember to support your ship when building on a surface: *sigh*
Uh oh.... Okay, so this is right shape: but how do I add lateral strafing thrusters to it without compromising things..... hmmm...
Today I did some more kit bashing with some time playing the campaign. The original is on the right. It is no longer able to fit through my carriers doors, and I have been goofing around by making the generators visible and changing a few things internally that I have not changed in a long time. (The engineering section for this series of ships has had very few changes since I published the Shovelhead back in 2018).
So it is with a heavy heart that I have to say that today I have finished and submitted all the Ravager POI's/OPV's that were on my build list for the faction. There are still a couple of player builds I may try but for now all done and released. Massive thank you to those who helped and contributed from the lore/history process all the way to POI/OPV contribution. The challenge is still open for now on the forum if anyone has any build ideas and wants to contribute that I have not thought of. thanks again. Final Ravager freighters finished near to far RFS Carcer Freighter RFS Navis serpens Freighter RFS ODuos Corvus Freighter Weapons Factory RFS Knarr SV
Today I was curious so I checked my published blueprints, looking for the oldest one. My oldest blueprint was published on Jul 6, 2016. My first forum post was on Jul 8, 2016 when I responded to a bug report in Alpha 2.1.1 I cannot remember when I first bought the game, but that's almost 6 years playing this game. I take my hat off to the development team for making a game that has held my attention for so long.
Why do I keep putting off making planets... it seems weird. Today in Empyrion I did not actually build anything, but just sat and listened to music.
