WOAH. Did the sprites get a big change or something? It's been about two weeks since I've been on, but damn, those everything look fine.

He/she is using custom modded textures

Eidolon has no blind spots.  If you do not engage from beyond range you can be struck from anywhere in her sphere, I have tested extensively, and the only way to avoid being slagged is to literally park yourself within ten meters of the launch door.  From above the quad turrets have adequate play to strike, from behind you are prey to about 8-10 of the turrets at any given time, from below you are faced with the same problem as above.  And I clearly stated earlier in the thread, Eidolon turns smoothly and with reasonable speed, so if you are alongside you have two quad turrets and very likely as many as six dual turrets firing on you at any given time.  I honestly think that for an evolved design vs. a planned design she's fairly hard to break.

These Eidolon specs are making me VERY glad that this is a primarily PvE server.

It's all in fun, I'm not trying to intimidate anyone.  I just love my creation, and lavish her with upgrade after upgrade.  However the next big upgrade will probably be the last until Schema breaks something vital.  The finalised Eidolon should represent the maximum the ship can possibly achieve without a total redesign. I put up some more images in my album, including my SP headquarters and a large spoiler.

So tonight I've begun work on a battleship or maybe a battlecruiser, whatever you'd call it, I've started work on a large ship. Here are pics of it so far:

Spoiler: Here's a general overview. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Here is a turret mounting that can be accessed from the inside for maintenance. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Here is the current armor plating pattern, which I'm not too happy with. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Here is one of the side engine pods. If you notice the strut attaching it to the ship, that is traversable to allow one to enter either of the pods. They are a little cluttered with power generators at the moment, which I'm thinking of moving out for the most part and replacing them with AMCs. (click to show/hide)

So there's still a lot of work to be done. I need to rework the outside so that it looks good and I can fit in some sort of extra-large space pirate wizard logo. I also need to figure out what to do with the front and back of the ship and build a super huge turret for the top. Plus I need to figure out what to do with the interior in a general sense.

But probably the most important thing I need to figure out is what sort of escape pod I want, because if I'm building a ship big enough to house one, of course I gotta put in an escape pod. The question is if I want to make it small and hard to hit or large nice enough that I can use it as living quarters. The first is probably more likely to make it out of a fight gone wrong alive, while the latter means I can escape in style with all the treasure I've gathered at the risk of being an easier target. I suppose the question probably comes down to figuring out exactly what sort of space pirate wizard I really am.

[NullForceOmega]

You have Oblivion for backup, if the fight goes wrong, you may as well escape in style while Eidolon mops up.

Edit: also, bigger, WAY bigger, at the moment you probably won't make cruiser scale (Tho' you could still rip pirates to pieces in a cruiser, so go to town)

[Kadzar]

So here's an update on my Pocket Battleship (according to the ship classification system I found).

Spoiler: I got rid of the armor plating and added an actual front and back to the ship (back is next picture). (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: To the back I've added a little extension and a plex hangar door. I've decided to go with a jettison-able living quarters as my eventual escape pod, since, if want to be able to call myself a Pirate King, I feel I can do no less. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: I've removed the tangled mess from the engine pods and put in AMC arrays in both of them. I've also added forward engine pod access struts (not shown in this picture) so that the engine pods can be traversed like Jefferies tubes. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Here you can see the underside of the starboard AMC array, along with the stairs up to the forward access strut on the left. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Here is the interior of the AMC array forward access space (which I put in so that I could adjust which block is used for the output). You can see that light is coming through the front lens (which I may replace with water instead of glass so that they don't just look like viewports on the front of the engine pods). (click to show/hide)

So, going forward, I want to add some detail to the exterior so it doesn't look like just a solid mass of red, I'm also considering moving the main turret mount back a bit, I probably need to plan out where to put the other turrets, I might possibly add on another pair of engine pods, I need to add in more shields and probably more power too, I need to fill out the interior, and I think I should put something on the underside of the ship, perhaps some smaller ship(s). Ah, well, I've made some good progress so far.

[HARD]

Got this error when loading the game



anyone?

[BigD145]

Which version of the game? That changes every couple days. Redownload and try again. Also, single or multiplayer?

[HARD]

latest version, tried reinstalling, both basic and alternative version, still not working

[BigD145]

Quick search for "starmade shader" got me this.

[Dansmithers]

GREIGER! I REQUIRE MORE HULLS AND SHIT FOR MY #secretproject.

[Greiger]

Server appears to be down and I have to go to bed soon, I'll see about putting my entire stock of blocks up for sale at my shop tomorrow after class.  Should be sometime around 1 Pm eastern US time.   

Fraid it's mostly just grey though, may have some black left.

So I finally broke down and figured out how to upload some images, Some shots of Eidolon

I refuse to join Google+, and so, Google+ refuses to let me see those pictures.

(Did you know you can also share pictures using Dropbox? Or any number of other services. Someone mentioned imgur earlier, for instance.)
