    @dpburke2
    Wow, a 'ball', and so far it does not look cubic… awesome!
    Wish you good luck and lots of patience/endurance for that! :)

    Your 'Hope' kind of reminds me of one of @T431 's builds, cant recall it's name though… (tri-??)

    How do you 'fill' these tall CVs?
    I find it alot easier to have a wide and long room, suits perfectly for big hangars... (easy)…
    But tall/high.. i find that rather challenging, chapeux! (French, sense meaning = respect // wordly = hat('s off) )

    Imagine all POI were made of concrete. Where would we loot cheap blocks/hardened steel from for our ships?

    Armed concrete? :p

    I think there should be distinct differences between POIs...
    Those for starter planets = armored concrete
    Those on all other planets = HS/CS

    If i remember correctly…. I was able to build 2 CV's (class 4 or 5) from a SINGLE POI we've been raiding (2 ppl).
    That was a modified omicron start, though… that was a medium to large POI..
    We had like (at the very least)... 2 or 3 boxes full of hard and regular steel plates… and 1 box with 'the rest'.... each of us!

    Most of the times i just did drone bases or the rados one (rados would be half the size of above mentioned POI).
    -> Saying: 1 drone base is (should be) enough for a starter CV :p
    (edit: even when building as hughe as i do)

    Decisions, decisions….
    I wanted the Cobra MK III from 'Elite Dangerous' to be playable (class<=6) on all Servers..

    It already is between class 6 and 7 due to the Lights...
    If i'll lighten up the engine room/s it'll be class 8!
    And when i'm done with all the rooms, it'll probably 9 or 10... :eek::confused:
    But... but… the hull… was just class 2,1... gnaaaa?!?!!

    The sides arent done yet, though, i would probably leave them 'as is' anyway...
    And i havent even started to decor it.. no sleeping room interiors, just a very very basic med bay... no plants, no Computers, no nps.. :(

    Still lots of textures to do... 8 hrs instead of 4-5 so far though :p

    But... see for yourself:

    --> SV
    cobra mk3 - 1.jpg
    --> CV

    Now that i'm 'writing this'...
    I'll continue decorating it - coz if i remember correctly I 'play' (not really, recently) on a server with a slightly higher Limit than 6... i hope… :p

    Most disturbing…
    The cobra is colored: Petrol....
    Now.. in EGS... do i take the dark green or 'this weird blue'?

    THAT would I call a "struggle for Survival" and not an Easy way to get Materials.;)

    How about...
    * a Garage
    * a Motel
    * a Civhub
    * a POI
    * a Harbor
    ?

    Just to name something different than 'vehicle' or 'base' :p

    EDIT: 400! :cool::D

    Might it be worth to join the experimental, just to have a slight advantage in updating all builds - for the release date?

    If it's a base; like an actual base, like an installation: It should be concrete and/or armored concrete with regular steel blocks where neccessary.
    Crashed ships should be Steel (internal and/or external) and Hardened Steel (external).
    Orbital wrecked ships and combat CVs should be Combat Steel and Hardened Steel (external) with normal steel interiors.

    [​IMG]
    Look at all those wrecked ships. Look at the size of them. Even if they used the above material rules, there's enough materials in one ship to build a complete combat-ready CV. Retrieving the blocks as-is shortens factory times too.

    Oh, this is what I did today too. Also, screw that goddamn Orbital Spire station over the back. Had to load a backup because it cheated.
    Dodging hundreds of red plasma blasts like a pro, taking out turrets and space drones. Then boom. Magic explosion from nowhere. Didn't get hit, my ship just vaporized. Nothing left whatsoever.
    Currently exploring the biggest ship of the bunch in this junkyard. The big fat one at the front. Chances are, like all other enemy CVs it can't be piloted. So it's only good for salvage once cored.

    A harbour could be an interesting one. There isn't really a natural bay near my base though that would work.
    I think I have an idea though...

    You take the words out of my mouth! :)
    I wanted to explain it too but it would have sounded like a lecture so I removed it and wrote only one line;)

    Actually it is more than easy. There is a tool on github called EGS-tools to import 3D models on empyrion. I have found Cobra MK3 here. The rest is only to make it smoother and since it will be hollow inside, to install doors, thrusters, generators etc!!!

    Ok. Well, as I am eager to check on those new "Goodies" I changed Steam back to Experimental - from the stable branch.

    Before that I made a decision for the extend of the Imperial Outpost/Base. I developed all of the "Inner Circle/Hex" and removed those excessive Masses of Concrete Blocks( about 3.7k). It is after all still a Massive Base. Imagine if you put a Turret or a Sentry-Gun on each of the Octagonal Shaped towers of the Inner and outer Walls.... Here are a few pictures of the Base were I left off.

    This Picture shows how I saved it as a BP which I have attached if someone is interested.

    Looks very promising, but i assume it is a little early to download the bp ;)

    Looks awesome, now we just need a fitting river! :)

    EDIT: I bet @Furious Hellfire has a fitting ship.. i wonder if those ships are fire proof? :D
