Doublée post:

So the ship isn't exactly what I wanted to make, but it's really starting to develop into something vaguely ship-like. Of the exterior segments (just the baseline stuff, not the finer detailing) only the engines and figuring out the front remain. While I actually have a pretty good idea of what to do for the engines I'm just fucking lost on how to finish the front. What's there now isn't working at all and it certainly isn't utilitarian. (It's an industrial/freighter/mining ship) and I really need some suggestions on how to make the front look like a working man's commercial vessel. The only requirement is that zeppelin-style cockpit must remain.

Any thoughts???

EDIT: Sorry if the image is fucky??? My internet is being trash, so I can't tell if it's just me. If you can't see it, http://imgur.com/a/tk4AL

You've linked to the imgur page, your (img) tag should be linked to the one imgur gives you with bbcode (usually it's the same but add the file extension).

can't wait to get more than ishant on vanilla servers

[Girlinhat]

Yes, with this news I think I'll wait until the NPC update to get involved.  We can start crusades!

[Eric Blank]

i've always wanted to go on a real campaign against an enemy. My fleet is ready. Kinda.
Wish I could do more online play, though :c

[LoSboccacc]

yep. I'll update the server as soon as they get it out! b12 vs the rest of the world!

(Think I got the pictures right this time...)

So the exterior is about 80-90% complete. The communications array still needs to be done, but other than it's mostly now detailing and couple of seams that need smoothing.

Started work on the interior.

Now I'm torn though. I'm worried that it is simultaneously not compact enough--planning for what looks to be potential wasted space in the main cabin--and that I don't have enough room--maintenance corridors and power generators are my biggest concerns. On top of that... it's really more freighter than mining vessel... and larger than I'd hoped it be. I think I'll end up stopping and putting all the lessons of learned about construction to work on an actual mining vessel... with more of an emphasis on an industrial art style (that also functions at least moderately well.) On the other hand... It don't look half bad.

Oh well. Either way. I'll have gained both some reusable art assets and some valuable building knowledge.

Is this game still free?

Is this game still free?

There's a demo, but it's slightly dated now.

[Crashmaster]

Still totally free. Demo is still full game.

[Imofexios]

Whell im interested in this too. Gimme Holler if we get some server to play on?

[Eric Blank]

Still totally free. Demo is still full game.

Can confirm, still havent bought it. :v


In terms of strategy lately, even though the fleet ai is wonky for mining, you can still dock and launch fighters/drones from your mothership, and have other supporting warships tag along. Leaving your fleet in orbit around your home base helps with pirate raids if you're lazy like me and never really bother to install defense turrets on the station.

I am starting to wonder if I have some degree of Stockholm syndrome where this game is concerned.  I just started back in, decided to refurb my old Jotun fighter.  I got it most of the way done, then ran into a small problem, I can place every block there is in the  ship, except power generators.

[Eric Blank]

literally cannot place them? That's never happened to me before. You could try reloading or reinstalling the game, and check to see if something could be blocking where youre trying to place them

[NullForceOmega]

It fixed itself, after four restarts.  No idea what the hell happened there.  Last night it didn't work no matter what I did, today it did work, alpha be alpha.

Anyway, Jotun III is now complete (and looks much better, now that the blocks to smooth out its hull exist.)  Probably work on the Gungnir next (I think I still have the BP.)  Yep, still have the BP, I'll get to gutting that and completely redesigning its systems.
