Finished another POI today: A new TOP Brewery (NOT a "Distillery") This one's planet-based. Not like that weird one we have now that for whatever reason has exposed "water" in space and has 4 gravity generators. That one needs to be retired.
Been working on a little defence turret in the Tresari style. Little bit of texturing to do on the under side, but pretty much done
Falling back into old habits, goofing around and debating. Go for the thinner nacelles with the roof mounted cannons... ... or the thicker nacelles which allow L thrusters with the roof cannons relocated to the nacelles. Decisions, decisions....
Well, I can still "dock" with Sigma Fulcrum with the thicker nacelles, it's much tighter than when I am flying a Barracuda but I can still deploy the ramp. The thicker nacelles do not fit between the truss blocks like the thinner ones do, but I can pull the ship far enough forward for the ramp to reach the base.
Alright, it is kind of boring... Will finish the paint job tomorrow... maybe I can also figure out a way to zazz it up somehow?
Today I decided to "repair" the damaged Dart you find in the story, I think I have it pretty close to the original.
BTW gang.... My latest Creation/WIP... It's essentially a POI SV.... just needs a Scenario to be added to... **Hint Hint @ravien_ff The ASTRAL ALBATROSS Cockpit Cabin (View from Cockpit) Cabin (view from Rear) Quarters Engineering Lab More to come... Link to workshop will be posted when complete.
The effects and textures keep getting better and better so I find I'm back to the game a bit more steady now...such diversity in bps and planets now! Today I found the Lvl 3 [Col] Civilian Hospital (Only one jump away from first planet actually). Being very hungry and hoping to sell some things, I went right in to get some relief from my adventure on the planet so far (at 90C and 13.6Rads, its not exactly a holiday planet). I quickly found out the base has no oxygen but this guy don't care.... man-spreading the whole dang bench to himself Some of the containers weren't protected so I stole all the bandages LOL That's what they get for having me, out-of-nowhere, defend them (The Free Colonists) from Zirax over a ROOT BEER recipe that frankly wasn't even as good as value-brand. ...but no food so far... the trader had none either. Sadly, as I raced around the upper floors screaming at people for a protein bar or ... heck, even an off-tasting root beer, I collapsed just outside a bathroom, two colonists standing with their arms outstretched as if to say, this is how much we don't care.
Started a new game in MP on a Project Eden server. Got far enough to spawn in a CV and decided to modify one of my existing designs to be a bit more functional. I started with making a whole new CV but I'd like to give that process more attention than I'd be able to atm. So I just replaced the nacelles on an existing design. I think they need a bit more shaping and I may change how they connect to the hull at some point but I think they are mostly finished. I can now cram large thrusters in the rear if I feel the need. BTW any one have tips on the best ways to level in Project Eden?
Yesterday marked the 6th anniversary of my start in EGS with over 7200 hours logged in. It was 6 months later I joined the community as that was something I'd never done before. I've enjoyed it and I like to think I've made some new friends along the way. The game has made great strides in those 6 years, yet I'm a bit disappointed. Never mind the Cross-hair/Reticle issue. I realize that is a hopeless situation. But I really thought we'd have more decorative choices in equipment, furniture and textures. (Please get rid of the Victorian wallpaper patterns and add something more useful for the 25th century space explorer.) I thought by now we'd have crew members that were dressed like the "player" instead of Star Trek uniforms and yuppie shirts and ties and they would actually DO something. I thought by now we'd have real maps with longitudes and latitudes so we could make use of the coordinates displayed in the HUD. I thought by now radar would actually work where their location would affect their coverage. I thought by now the Metal Texture, Pg 1, Row 2, Item 7 would have regained its emissive spots. These are little things, perhaps even insignificant. I just don't understand why they haven't come about after 6 years. It's not because they've never been mentioned, because I mentioned them before. What happened to popcorn, seaweed snacks and cactus fruit? On the other hand, we can now sleep whenever we want, thank you. We can crouch down, thank you. Water is more like water, thank you. I live in hope for the things I've mentioned (except Cross-hairs/Reticles) to be realized in time because, no matter what I said, I love this game. Thanks for listening to an old man rant. It's time to switch to PornHub.
Nice work! I've been enjoying all of the Ravager faction stuff you've been creating but I think this is my favorite so far.
