    LOLOL! "I tried out a round glass window, it looked like !*(%$" Oh my, that gave me a good chuckle. Thats every build I do. The cockpits are easily the most challenging part for me.

    Heh, wouldn't have been one of mine, I'm well aware of that little... 'flaw' with glass doors. My 'Spires are airtight and fully oxygenated. There've been a few variations though - Savinwraith did a rework of Angelspire that doesn't look to have been updated in quite some time, and that does appear to still be using glass doors.

    That said, I always welcome constructive feedback and Angelspire is a very old BP by today's standards. Any thoughts you'd like to share to help make the next one better, I'm all ears! :)

    Finally I can make a working hover tank!

    20180910214936_1.jpg

    My inital versions all had the problem that the turrets would shoot at anything but their intendet targets resuling in the tank dancing in front of a POI while the turrets wasted shot after shot at people behind meters of combat steel blocks. That sucked. Big time.

    But now, with the new turret options I could finally tell them to shoot at turrets and only turrets. So the tank has 2 different weapon systems, minigun turrets to shoot at people and drones as well as rocket launchers to shoot at the turrets. The combination works quite well (and is soooo much fun!) and while the missiles pound on the POI turrets the miniguns mow down the legions of troops that patrol the fields nowadays.

    The tank is nothing special just a larger version of the Pharos Crescent SV - without launch thrusters, obviously. After having it taken apart by POI turrets a few times I noticed that it was made of normal steel. The upgrade to hardened steel made it so much more durable... (A d'oh moment)

    I've been playing around with the color picker today and it is rad. It's so nice to be able to create your own colors instead of having to rely on the default ones. I like that you can easily copy/paste colors too.

    Edit: Finished up the Valkyrie Gunship and posted it

    Now that I've got that out of my system back to working on this thing:

    *sneezes on a large rock*

    Didn't do much today.
    Added a walkway along the undertier of Pumping Station #15 and extended the "legs" of the entire base so it can reach the ground under the lava lake without structural integrity deciding to blow it up. Took a lot of trial and error as you can't exactly add onto the bottom of a base while it's being unhappy. Also put in some LCD signs with the usual safety warnings you'd expect and some funny staff notices, etc...

    I think to 'grant' that this base doesnt break upon any changes during gameplay, it is required to spawn it via yaml files, which would increase the POI factor requirement ;)
    But then again.. do some extra Damage on other places, place some rust, save it with dmg and you have an abonded Pumping Station #15 :D
    Which could be the hostile Counterpart of this civilian poi.

    Take a step back and consider this though; you may have already replaced things, but seek out the "broken blocks" and envision this as a pumping station that is in disrepair. Or perhaps was damaged by a volcanic event? Replace some of the edging blocks. Tell a story and see where that takes you.

    I uh, may have gotten distracted again and did a thing. I had a few thoughts while falling asleep last night and had to work them out today. I swear I'll get that Dalek SV done sometime in the near future though.

    My latest going ons in Empyrion is checking out stuff that seems new since the last time I was on before I began the Hiatus. :p
