It's also on the front post, but This is the manual, and these are the modules used to build it.

[Aseaheru]

I did not see the manual, thank you.

[Aseaheru]

And my person!

Spoiler: Owen, Everett (click to show/hide)

Name:   Everett Owen
Gender: Male
Age:      36

Stat increases:

Alternatively, some form of semi-automatic rifle instead of the CA-IDW 4?

[WhitiusOpus]

WHUPS forgot weapons. Edited for that.

So I've finally got the entire first floor of that thing mapped out. Once I make the walls visible again, you can't actually see most of it, the wires, for instances, are only barely visible.
So you guys need to make sure you do a good job of blowing them apart, so you can admire all the detail I'm putting into this thing.
I never thought it'd be this much work, and this is a tiny little ship.

For a small teaser, to keep you guys sane during this very long update process, here's what the entire ship looks like so far.

I don't want to look like I don't appreciate your work, but why don't you just mark stuff on the original blueprints?

[Aseaheru]

I am attempting to make a ship...

In paint.


Copy and paste are fun... As is trying to draw lines...

Very...boxy.

[Aseaheru]

Wait, can we have curves in our ships?

[Avis-Mergulus]

I believe so, since there's an example in the Construction Manual involving a completely circular ship. Might be just me, though.
Mine has no curves anyway, since I'm imagining them like the Anatoray capital ships in Last Exile.

Allright, good. Because my bad ship design has many curves...

And now to calculate! Oh joy...

Well, so far the modules cost 64480 and weigh 2860. I wonder if the engines will be powerful enough to move this hulk...

Because then I wouldn't get as much enjoyment out of it. I think that this game would look awesome with actual pictures, so I'm making them.

Very...boxy.

I'm just following the blueprint, blame the designer.

[Aseaheru]

I dont get some of the requirements for things, mostly bomb bays and eyes. I mean, why must they be on the buttom level (or the top) if the space under (or above) is clear?

Also, can we have exposed areas, with flooring but no walls?

My interpretation (and what I'm using) is that it's considered the "top" if nothing is directly above it, and "bottom" if nothing is directly below it.
If something is below it, but off to the side where it wouldn't get in the way, I don't care, go for it. As for the eyes, I stated earlier that I really don't care where you put them, you could even have them facing inward into the ship so you can spy on your crew have security cameras if you want.
As for the exposed areas, yes, just make sure it's clearly marked so I know.

I'm trying to be really lenient so you guys can make lots of cool stuff.

[Aseaheru]

Right, I am cranking out a ship, anyone want to see it?
