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

I'm probably done for the night anyways.

server is back up so those who want to come can enjoy at most an hour before I am done for the night. [editline]5th February 2014[/editline] we can schedule games as long as they are not when I am at school and its not 10:00 PM Pacfic

that's a cool hangar

Odd they got rid of ladders - no way to move easily around a ship in motion without using stairs now.

[QUOTE=blazingfly;43796945]Odd they got rid of ladders - no way to move easily around a ship in motion without using stairs now.[/QUOTE] Ladders shouldn't have been entire blocks. they should have acted like plates. They didn't work very well anyways, you tended to fall off them when you go to the top etc.

I never even noticed ladders were gone, that's how little I used them lol. [editline]5th February 2014[/editline] Well, since my small gatling guns don work, I guess i'm gonna build a missile fighter.

Just a few moments ago, I got an idea to make really fast small ship, but because I still make soapbox ships, it ended up like what it's now. I call it ''Fat Sonic'' A.K.A. Oh God why did I do this: [T]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/576761685777139322/DFBF48FCBB24E1E91F0091F0684C505E92B0F94C/[/T] It has two big and three smaller thrusters on the back to, well, get you fast. I planned to make only two big thrusters but I put three smaller ones because other thruster was sticking out a bit from the main body of the ship. [T]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/576761685777152850/130916BBFEF946020332410A5C4A11A8C5F30710/[/T] Power source is pretty much insides filled with nearly 20 small reactors. I might make a version with one big reactor inside if it's more powerful. [T]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/576761685777130473/D2211D81D8673B6C3E84220FF3EB4D034852CFB7/[/T] I tested its ramming capabilities and it's pretty impressive kamikaze ship, I mean, it blew a big hole on blue ship and penetrated red ship. [T]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/576761685777113217/B7F5A29041992B38450EFB0A28DE649C30DC2CE9/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/576761685777123679/732457680C2DADFE808CDF03AD94BE723A8DB789/[/T] Maybe if I'll weaponize it, it could be a good shock troop ship, implying enemies don't laugh themselves to death before that.

Trying out some carrier design features, this one being diagonal landing bays. The idea is that since most people tend to think more of sailing ships than spaceships when manoeuvring in combat, they're less likely to get a shot off down it, unless they're in fighters (which can be easily dissuaded by gatling turrets, i'd imagine). Thusly meaning I don't need to faff about with finicky doors. But then again, it's unlikely we'll ever get either AI fighter pilots, or servers large and yet stable enough to give this a real go in a large carrier ship, so it's just to be ~unique~ currently. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/gXd8Szm.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DAQt3hY.jpg[/IMG] Currently way too large to justify use for the default fighter, but it's relatively easy to scale as needed.

[video=youtube;91J29HwLwSM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91J29HwLwSM[/video] This looks too awesome.

[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6035324/2014-02-05_00022.jpg[/img] Trying to build a smaller cargo-ish war logisticey ship right now primarily dedicated to cargo, it has 4 large cargo holds, and built with concentrated effort towards compacting the engineering section "power pack" and reducing weight. [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6035324/2014-02-05_00013.jpg[/img] Managed to get the powerplant/thrust framework down to approximately this size, while maintaining full conveyor connection to all reactors and cargo, while also connecting all engines to reactors using interior blocks as wiring. It was rather hard to balance armor/weight and getting all the shit to fit together in there. Full ship skeleton looks like this [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6035324/2014-02-05_00015.jpg[/img]

Games I can at reasonable times on the weekends, Not so much the week days but I get home around 5:50 American Central

Spent some time working on variants of my Einherji to make them more practical/better suited to surviving MP WIP original being remade with heavy armor and better maneuverability:__________ WIP heavy frame, unpainted: [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/Hkcqmz.jpg[/t][t]http://i.cubeupload.com/7gxpEd.jpg[/t] Minimalist, performance variant:_______________________________________________ Dakka variant with like 10-12 guns: [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/EUNLby.jpg[/t][t]http://i.cubeupload.com/vzDAHL.jpg[/t] such a pretty siloughette, can't love anything else i build Fuck your supercarriers ~we will darken the skies~

Has anyone come close to... idk, perfecting a fighter design? I know there is a huge range of designs possible that would serve different purposes, but I found one on the Workshop once as part of a larger save (something about a long-distance exploration ship) and I've never been able to find anything better. It's fast (accelerates to top speed in less than 5 seconds, decelerates similarly if you turn around) and absolutely laden with weapons, though I have no idea how it stands up to attack.

In 2064, the Interplanetary League of Asteroid Miners issued a contract for the aging Trident-class Cruiser. After a heated competition, the contract was ultimately awarded to Boeing-Airbus and their Anglerfish-class Cruiser. She was initially designed to comply with the Washington treaty, but is currently participating in the ILAM rearming initiative. [t]http://i.imgur.com/1LPxId2.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/2uyErmo.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/A68CcD7.jpg[/t] The ILAMSS Anglerfish, flagship of her class, was laid down by Harland and Wolff Staryards on December 3rd 2068. She was launched on April 10th 2069 and was commissioned under the command of LtCmdr. James R. Adamiak on April 28th 2069. Anglerfish first saw action as a heavy escort in convoy MASON, where she disabled one stealth cruiser from Solarium Energy and one saboteur ship from the Anti-mining Coalition. Since then, Anglerfish has scored a total of fifteen victories and has served under convoys MASON, PITA and KYBER. She continued to serve as a heavy escort until July 16th 2077 when she was removed from the active roster to undergo the ILAM Rearming Initiative. She is entered for a type-II overhaul and is set to reenter service by 2081.

fix ur game keen, multiplay is borked

So I just started working on my largest ship ever: [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/RADDESTSHIPEVER.png[/img] It's pretty barebones right now I still need to finish up the triangle and add the outer ring then once that's done I can add the light armour.

[QUOTE=Pigbear;43805163]fix ur game keen, multiplay is borked[/QUOTE] You mean the server browser?

[QUOTE=crimsonwingzz;43800144][video=youtube;91J29HwLwSM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91J29HwLwSM[/video] This looks too awesome.[/QUOTE] This is why I want to be able to automate ship parts. I want to build factory floor robots and automatic docking systems, things we just can't make with mechanical parts alone. I want to do the things that Garry's Mod made us daydream about playing GRP.

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;43805341]You mean the server browser?[/QUOTE] no, that actually multiplayer itself, you can't pilot ships unless you started the server or mess with blocks.

I didn't have that problem. Maybe it only happens sometimes.

there should be seat blcoks

Also, Space Engineers really needs a manually-fired gun for large ships, like the MAC from Halo.

Maybe just one (instead of a "variety", like missiles and gatlings for the small ships) large ship weapon, but yes, that would be very nice. Speaking of Halo, though, I made this the other day: [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/576761144177242825/EA4282523481425E5E384A7DD0EB2940CD8EF7E7/1024x575.resizedimage[/t] [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/576761144177243755/5350332DFD7F2B382D46CA4B1ABB17C52EF11D50/1024x575.resizedimage[/t] I didn't intend for it to look like a UNSC frigate (and tbh I'm not so satisfied with the rear portion) but that's what it ended up being, kind of.

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;43814479] I didn't intend for it to look like a UNSC frigate (and tbh I'm not so satisfied with the rear portion) but that's what it ended up being, kind of.[/QUOTE] Aw, yeah? Mine had a bit of inspiration from Halo's frigates, most notably in the rear and in the front.

So, I was thinking to myself "Hangers on big ships are cool and all, but they are lacking something. Not overly complicated doors, but something else. So I whipped up this never-to-be-completed prototype. The plan was to make a smaller entrance while still being able to hold many fighters. [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/794060367828318845/CA8BB10A9DBDCC244E3D779F5B74117CBCEDE02C/[/t] What's the trick? Small to navigate corridors? Nope. [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/794060367828325034/FF172517B9BF94D37DDCE452DC117453BE887F35/[/t] As you can see there is but one fighter. (I used a default fighter but this is meant to hold much larger fighters. [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/794060367828327622/CBE246D27DD58C26EC027C981E5A7E0ABFA5B318/[/t] And it launches normally. And then the magic happens. [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/794060367828333721/289083319816C15AC719E1DF98B5CC1EF3A07DBB/[/t] A little rotor power...

[t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/794060367828337457/17CB5C2A930DCE362368B1387A43DD50461E63E5/[/t] And I say never-to-be-completed because shortly after this my friend thought it'd be funny to ram his warship made of nothing but warheads into it and I don't feel like remaking it. [editline]6th February 2014[/editline] Now if you'll excuse me I have a certain green fleet to recreate.

the landing gear is pointy
