Space Engineers - Say goodbye to Starmade and Blockade runner. - Games

hot diggity damn i love that catwalk idea in the hangar

You guys realize that spaceships are built like skyscrapers, not like submarines/ships. 'Down' is the direction of the trust, not perpendicular to it. Why reinforce the stupid stereotype, it looks stupid for anyone at least familiar with how real things work. I was checking out the website and pleasantly surprised by the frequency of updates and the functions they add, like the rotors. Thought it was all static. Might actually buy it today, but I want to ask first: Is there any hardcoded thrust/controlls/etc limits that could prevent me from building more realistic, skyscraper designs instead of horizontal star-wars-like ones? Does it have/planned to have solar panels and heat radiators? [img]http://puu.sh/6sMaj.jpg[/img]

Besides, there's real world precedent. The Space Shuttle is laid out like a plane, not a skyscraper. So eat shit. We'll build ships how we want to. You can build all the skyscrapers you want, nobody's stopping you, but we'll build something fun.

Space Shuttle is designed for atmospheric flight. And what's with the insults already? A very hostile community without any desire towards discussion you are. I want to buy a game and I want to fit in and have interesting discussions, not get in flame wars. Yes, my opinions differ from most of yours, but that's the point of discussion. Why have a huge circlejerk?

That's pretty fucking hostile if you ask me. Only later did you edit it to actually have a legitimate question rather than just insults. To answer your questions: You can build ships in a vertical configuration if you'd like. However, the pilot's chair/cockpit dictates the orientation of the ship's controls. No plans have been stated for heat radiators or solar panels.

Horizontal ships are stupid the same way the cars in gta blow up when turned over is stupid, even though I like and enjoy it and think it's an amusing game element. It's not an insult, it's stating a fact. I edited my post after checking out the game's website. I also wasn't calling no one stupid a few pages back, but still showered with boxes just for saying "I think center of mass would be a good addition".

If you would just approach it with a less hostile tone, you'd be much better received.

Spor, you are a monumental knob. Well done. Don't complain about not being able to hold a discussion when the first thing you do upon coming in here is insult everything - that's not how talking works.

"why so hostile????"

the whole realistic ship shit also completely falls apart when you realise the game is set in 2077

Also nobody carees about realistic ships. If I want to build a giant dick shaped ship with a cube in front with the shaft being made of glass I'll build it that way.

[QUOTE=Shogoll;43600415]weird things that don't seem like they should work: putting a gravity generator on the end of a rotating piece will give you a rotating gravity field and you can stand on the rotating piece completely fine.

[QUOTE=DeEz;43617457]you'd probably like KSP more than this game[/QUOTE] And KSP is way more realistic right? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfMxa8WhM_k[/media]

[QUOTE=Wickerman123;43617565]And KSP is way more realistic right? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfMxa8WhM_k[/media][/QUOTE] KSP is pretty realistic, this is just a workaround for not having expensive air friction calculations. Since you can't steer off air cause there's no actual air in KSP, it imitates the force caused by air friction by applying magic force. Simple as that.

[QUOTE=DeEz;43617621]you tried and yes, by order of magnitudes[/QUOTE] Guys, it was a joke.

[QUOTE=Spor;43616966]Why do you imply that building a realistic vessel would automatically destroy all the fun? [/QUOTE] but how would that even be realistic? the ships you're talking about are meant to be launched from a planet and are expected to land on that planet. your logic doesn't apply to SE because space engineers ships are built in space and stay in space

if you wanted to be realistic it wouldn't even be called Space Engineers, it would be called "Earth Guys Who Sit in an Air Conditioned Room in Houston, Texas Controlling Soulless Space Probes with a Twenty Minute Lag and Four Frames Per Second With Nothing at all Happening Until Five Years Later" [editline]21st January[/editline] or maybe "Space Muscular Atrophy and Eye Problems" if you're lucky

I took a long walk, bought the game and played for few hours. I can now completely understand why people don't want mandatory center of mass to be a feature. I'm really sorry for the shitstorm and elitism-spouting I caused here.
