Actually Sathium is a Component of Flux Coils & Flux Coils are a Component in CV Thrusters... of which my CV uses 12 Xtra Large Thrusters & over 400 CV Version Slant Thrusters.
It's just a time sink, it takes ages to get from one end to the other and I'm forgetful, going back to grab an item takes 5 mins... I can travel to another planet in that time . Unloading a ships cargo is a pain also, no idea why I thought it would be good to make it so big in the first place, I usually like to keep things compact for ease of use.
It's never a bad idea to experiment. It's a shame not all Experiments get to work, but how boring would it be if nothing new was ever tried?
Almost finished SV bays of the orbital base - figured it would be nice to have a command center which process docking requests to the station:
At 400 odd thrusters , Im going with that ship is probably to big and will eat so much power, I hope you like mining prom alot !
Thanks It's more for looks at the moment, but when the hangar shields/blast doors are introduced this little com. center will operate the doors (provided there will be such remote control implemented of course). the lower section is accessible by foot, upper inner section by jetpack:
Did some work on the Akua 3 Science Vessel. Docking Bay is ready. Really dislike the lighting in this game.
Lookin good... but missed a spot. Where's the big guns for 'processing' the Requests that are 'rejected'? My CV uses over 400 Slant Thrusters & 12 Xtra Large Thrusters. Yours is Modest by comparison. Seconded. If so, plz share. *Begs*
And yet I would put money on that ship [horizon ] would beat your ship in every way, speed, ok maybe not speed ! lol , war, cost to run everything. Shall we test that ? I have no conversion program guys, Im been closed testing it for a couple of weeks, so Ive just had the blocks a little longer is all.
My CV is nearing ready to start Factorying, then after it's done will need Ammo'd & Geared up. After that, that could be a fun thing to do indeed.
Currently I work on a new hull design for a massive battleship. And later in the day i update some of my older BP. Mostly only description for resource amount.
Today? More updates and tests how my bigger CV's work if i double the weight(hardened steel to combat blocks), a little bit progress for my new CV: Oh and I build this little guy: But I'm not sure if it succeeded me.
