    Could only have a short game session, so I tried to deactivate the Drone Base @ Aestus with the Thunder Tank.

    uhm. was harder than I thought.
    you need to be VERY NEAR that your turrets shoot at the Core (or trying to atleast)...

    But I got though after rounds of rounds of rounds of ammo...
    The Base is COMPLETE IN LAVA!

    I'm no that good. Ships maybe look simple, but that is exactly the difficulty in them. I can put tons of stuff on a building, material cost, fuel, maneuverability and other things not a consideration. I believe better days are coming for builders with A7. Probably lot of creative people hang on now because got tired of texturing and other repetitive jobs.

    Cool Idea, I started something similar, but gave up really fast, like really really fast ;) and went to the Biosphere2 project.
    But for other big roundish ships I have build, I have used this page to help figuring out the number of blocks needed for esch side:
    http://www.cleavebooks.co.uk/scol/calpolyg.htm

    How to make a hemisphere, that's a whole other story, but I am looking forward to see the results.

    This page has always been a huge help to me when building something that has a round shape.

    Until yesterday I have had difficulty switching versions(Still holding out to see if my recent troubles have been addressed.) Since I try to always publish in the public release, I have just had to wait. So I am thinking tonight or tomorrow.

    What's so hard about that? I built this:

    In gravity flying around in the same height and counting is easy. I can imagine those who build massive space structures heavily rely on it.

    I did not know how to use the symmetry plane until fairly recently, the Cerulean Star is the first ship I built using it.
    The other 57 entries I have in the shop were built without it.

    Sure thing. I build all in survival mode these days so no BPs. I'll throw another one together in a few minutes and post the .epb.
    Turns out I'm a bit busy atm. Here's a BP for the Scooter on which it's based. You can use it to build an armored airtight version.

    You have made a nice piece of hardware! It must be taking weeks for you to assemble. I like the choice of the colors and the bedrooms after the first look.

    This is my latest temple project. I feel I must wait for the new textures, then do the final touch.

    I cannot believe that you've been doing these without the aid of symmetry tools! Stunning work.
