but then you have to manually get out and control each motor

[QUOTE=Callie;43209312]Out of curiosity, why are you using stairs instead of ramps for the angles. Ramps would be smoother.[/QUOTE] Because stairs are more grey than ramps, and because Imperial engineers sneer at sleek, non-rough surfaces.

Remote motor control will come in time, just you guyses wait.

Is there a way of removing a symmetry axis ? I know you can change a symmetry axis, add a new one or disable all of them but I can't find how to remove a certain axis, if that's even possible. [editline]17th December 2013[/editline] Oh you press right click, it just popped in my mind the second I was done typing, so obvious too.

I made a thing [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/884127381009521915/F23E6A1AFD6A3F81BBE4DE76DCC19DF2B573588C/[/t] It doesn't ram as into Borg cubes as well as I had expected; I will have to make a bigger ship for the task.

[QUOTE=nask;43212337]This is so far my largest ship, it just also happens to be my only non symmetrical ship.

Wait, seems it might not be to scale. I may still have time!

yeah it's defo not to scale, it's probably about the same size as a 1:1 scale victory, if not even smaller [editline]18th December 2013[/editline] i think a Space Engineers star destroyer is the 'right' size when it can easily fit both of the quickstart ships into the main ventral hangar (not necessarily at the same time)

yeah space engineers doesn't really seem set up at the moment to (plausibly) build larger ships to scale like the starting ships would be classed as small frigates in EVE, for example, and plenty of (in space engineers terms) huge ships would probably fall under destroyer scales

My most massive of ships never have good turning radiuses. Like not even close to being something I want to deal with. Trying to build cool ships at a small scale feels super hard though, in that frigate class.

Strange that my mind jumped to such an insignificant room :v: In fact a lot of big ships remind me of UNSC ships in this game. The geometry is similar I suppose.

Anyone have any good inspiration for a ship to build? I enjoy building my own designs but I'm not that good at designing ships to be honest with myself.

someone build the pillar of autumn

[QUOTE=Pilotguy97;43220487]Most ships in Halo are.

Like a Needler round, but for spess ships.

The devs are going to owe you a royalty if you keep this up.

[I]Remember kids, no matter how good you are at something, there will always be a Squeegy Mackoy out there that is better than you.[/I]

Think of it, if we had multiplayer right now there would be ship to ship battles, and they haven't even released guns yet.
