[QUOTE=Avager;43493223]I won't lie to you, good sir, but these words can hurt your feelings :( ...
It looks like a shit, literally, with some corns in it.
It's way too blocky for an outer hull, inside is very empty and ... lazy, basically an empty shell.
I'm very sorry, but I was expecting much more.[/QUOTE]
The inside is actually quite full actually, that's just the main control room. Plus. what could I possibly put in the inside with what we have now?
And yeah, I fucking hate what the outside turned out to be too. Don't worry, it's already getting a redesign.

There's no way I could hate this guy for this post, I'm laughing my ass off at the corn remark.
Are huge ore-laden asteroids with giant holes through them common occurrences?
Has anybody designed an efficient drilling ship yet? Like, one where you could drill in a straight line without the hull taking scrapes and bumps?

I've tried. You need to have about 6-9 drills and design your craft in an unorthodox, less than pretty line formation behind it with copious amounts of thrusters.
[editline]11th January 2014[/editline]
4 drills seemed like it would work with ultra-efficient module storage behind but it really didn't.
Started work on a new giant ship and it's asymmetrical, so it's all being handmade rather than having help with the mirrors. Here's my progress so far:

I started with the 'tubes' which will be passageways into the ship and hangar, which will be deep inside the hull. So far the skeleton is about 400~ meters. My goal with this one is three things: asymmetrical design, defendable hangar/entrance to ship, and to make it resistant to attacks. If you see the pathway down the middle of the ship, it may seem as a structural weakness - but it's not. Not only is it reinforced well inside, I intend on making both front and back sides of the ship completely self-sufficient if broken apart, also making it even harder to take down.
So what do you guys think? Should I scrap the design or keep it? It's slowly becoming harder to build this thing due to it's weird design :v:

I've made several craft that can drill in even not-straight lines and they don't take any hull damage when I start drilling. Let me find some pictures.

An attempt was made. I think I'll make it larger next time.

That design looks like it could really work if it was much larger.
[editline]11th January 2014[/editline]
Seems my inner-hangar can now fit up to 8 of the starting small blue craft. Awesome.
[editline]11th January 2014[/editline]
Actually, considering how tall it is inside, I can make that 16. Holy shit, time for upside-down parking.

This is my new ship, it's on the workshop if anyone wants to see it, finally got pictures uploaded.
it's fully fleshed out inside, it handles really quite well for a ship this size, and it's got a large hanger bay, door and everything.

It reminds me of a Vogon constructor ship, except smaller.
Making it larger. Damn, that LOD looks almost perfect for that smaller one.

When I said larger, I mean REALLY larger. Like make it so that little box can hold one of the starting red ships.

That thing on the front(??) looks like the magazine for an AR2.

I did some research, I think the size of the Kuun Lan is somewhat above 1 kilometer in length. Aaaaah.
I usually make my ships 1/2 scale of what I'm trying to build. Try going 1/4 this time :v;
[editline]11th January 2014[/editline]
250m is 125 blocks. That's not that large.
I tried making this:

But the rotors won't work properly and now I'm sad.

Once multiplayer is in, I think the first thing we should make is the kushan mothership.

[B]No, we get all the facepunchers on here together on an organised date and time, and smash loads of dick ships together to the tune below, for the remaining wreckages to be swallowed up by Squeegy's space kraken.[/B]

New ship. Not much to it really, I just have 3 parts and the outside pieces rotate in opposite directions at enough force to overide one gyro. Driven from the middle piece it goes pretty damn fast and looks interesting.
I really wanted to make just the middle spin but that involves more complicated things than I can figure out with the toys we have.
So, inspired by an earlier post, who wants me to make a huge Vogon constructor ship?
Toblerone-shaped, loaded with weapons, useless, and so fucking ugly that if you look at it for too long you go insane.
Agree vs. Disagree.

toblerone case, or the bar itself?
The only way we know about them:
They're yellow
They're 'toblerone shaped'
I assume this means case as in a triangular prism

not doing it tonight, fighting with my ex has given me a fucking migraine.
Trying to build a battlestar style carrier ship. She already weighs 37,000t and is chewing up 4.5gb worth of memory. I am going to run out before I even get the chance to do anything on the inside. The front looks ugly so I am planning on extending it out more and changing it.

I attempted to build a battlestar. I could never get it to look right, plus it was fukhueg no matter how i tried to build it, so I created my own head-cannon and made my own colonial fleet.

I've built a lot of shit today, this is another one. I'm really quite proud of my new freighter/cargo ship. It goes a decent speed too.

C-can I help?
I want multiplayer for this so fucking bad. I've never been able to have a dogfight with someone with actual space physics and not reskinned airplanes.
