[QUOTE=Cone;43585094]fun fact: if you can see Cherenkov radiation, you've already been given a lethal dose of it

(if it's in the air without a dozen inches of lead glass separating it from you)[/QUOTE]
Yeah, that's why I said it wasn't actually a good thing to have inside my ship. :v:
It's fine if you're seeing it through water though, right?

[QUOTE=Wickerman123;43585472]Cherenkov radiation would be a cool feature.
It is Space [I]Engineers[/I] afterall and Engineers have to find solutions to problems.[/QUOTE]
I was thinking about radiation in general earlier. Space has a lot of it, I'm pretty sure, and it might make for an interesting gameplay mechanic if they decide to add ambient radiation and anti-radiation measures.
Then again, they could just say "Well your suit's lead-lined and so are all the blocks, so there"
break the flat shape with something. make a hole and put the thrusters in there, create an antenna cluster, shit like that
[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;43585917]Yeah; all the heavy blocks have that sort of digi-camo look. I'm guessing the devs forgot to replace that block with light armour.[/QUOTE]
Seriously? I saw a whole ship made with digi-camo blocks and I was wondering how you get that texture.
[QUOTE=mcattack1092;43586267]Made a few changes to my ship and added the pieces coming off the middle of the ship.

Does anyone have any ideas to what I can do to improve the front nose of the ship.[/QUOTE]
Give it an angular prow
[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;43586418]Seriously? I saw a whole ship made with digi-camo blocks and I was wondering how you get that texture.[/QUOTE]There's some way to enable heavy blocks, but admittedly it's been a while since I tried and have thus forgotten how to enable them. You can probably find how on the official forums somewhere.

i fucked up the perspective a little, but i think you can see what i mean. add those elevated areas, connecting to the turret thing up there

yeah, it's only if it's surrounding an object in the air that you need to worry about it (although you should by no means try swimming in a nuclear reactor). but there's no oxygen on any of the ships so it wouldn't be visible anyway, because it's caused by the speed of the radioactive particles exceeding the speed of light, which is slowed by the medium it has to travel through (i.e. air or water). and since you're in a vacuum where there's no such medium to be found and light isn't slowed at all, you don't need to worry about it.
What do you guys think of adding solar panels as a fuel-less alternative to reactors? Significantly reduced power output at the benefit of not needing fuel? That and not being able to get power if you're hidden behind an asteroid or mining inside one?
[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;43586913]That and not being able to get power if you're hidden behind
an asteroid or mining inside one?[/QUOTE]store power in batteries, go to work in the shade, come out for a recharge when necessary
and we've discussed all sorts of networks and wires, so how about a power cable system of sorts? install solar panels on a floating drone or on the sunny side of an asteroid and plug them into your drill/generator/battery array

Thanks for the idea for the front of the ship.
I made two fronts for the ship:

Now that multiplayer is in we need a Facepunch Teamspeak/Mumble so we can make ape noises together while smashing our ships into eachother.
[b]Edited:[/b] And so I can hear NoDachi's sexy voice.
So, is there a facepunch server up yet?
My Jupiter Class Battlecruiser is now done and on the workshop. Thanks to the people who posted here with ideas for the ship's design.

If anyone's interested in ~spacey~ music that fits the game and isn't the oddly intense default music, [url=http://neue.bandcamp.com/album/the-planets]this music[/url] fits well when played in the background (and not just because it's named after the planets).
[QUOTE=ZnT00;43588173]So, is there a facepunch server up yet?[/QUOTE]
i went ahead and started a server called facepunch. does that count?
I wish the speed limit was higher. It's a pain in the ass to cross large distances going at only 104 m/s
[QUOTE=ZnT00;43588173]So, is there a facepunch server up yet?[/QUOTE]
AFAIK there's no legitimate way to set up 'real' servers, it's all client-hosted. Until they can run a proper server-browser into the game with a real server build of the game, it's going to lag like fuck.
[QUOTE=ZnT00;43588173]So, is there a facepunch server up yet?[/QUOTE]
No such thing as servers yet, just listen hosting.
Does anyone know what sort of thrust the small and big thrusters give?
[QUOTE=mcattack1092;43591181]Does anyone know what sort of thrust the small and big thrusters give?[/QUOTE]
Someone tested it a while back, a large thruster generates roughly 15x the energy of a small thruster.
I wonder if you can shoot down rockets with chainguns
I should try that in MP at some point
Does this qualify as a good ship?

It has spaced armour that acts as engine carrier, it's 3-4 block thick everywhere, contains 6 generators and tons of gyroscopes. It's p fast and doesn't turn into scrap metal when fired upon.
I fear Space Engineers is basically what would happen if you found $700bn and told the military and NASA to share.

Probably could have been the case 30 years ago.

Actually, I'm not sure what either of us are referring to.

Yes, I'm that tired. I'm going to bed now.

If you guys require a TS3, I've got a 256 slot one at [URL="ts3server://ts3.prfn.se?port=9987"]ts3.prfn.se[/URL]
You're free to make semi-temporary channels in it, so if you want to make a space engineers section, go ahead.
The only people using it at the moment is some random people and the FPARMA group.
