[QUOTE=lope;44661705]I'm more interested in creative than survival because from the videos I've seen it looks like survival takes forever to do anything, and I just want to build shit. [editline]27th April 2014[/editline] just bought it[/QUOTE] I just don't see a reason to play survival either. It will be interesting when they add dedicated servers though. You could all cooperate on stuff and refineries and whatnot can just process stuff while you're gone. Nonetheless it still has it's flaws as there's no quick way to salvage old ships or to build new ones.

how should i paint this? [img]http://puu.sh/8qecS.jpg[/img] [img]http://puu.sh/8qedE.jpg[/img] [img]http://puu.sh/8qeec.jpg[/img] [img]http://puu.sh/8qeeC.jpg[/img] i tried something but i'm not that happy with it [img]http://puu.sh/8qehq.jpg[/img]

I hope they work on turrets shooting the ship they're attached to.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;44662510]I hope they work on turrets shooting the ship they're attached to.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I tried to make a broad side firing frigate, and it tore itself to shit. Even just using gattling guns it tore itself to shit. I flew around the ship in a small, super fast little ship that while able to avoid the fire for a while, eventually succumbed to it. Then I noticed my ship had also almost self destructed in the process.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;44661285]Same reason people like to build enormous, beautiful structures in Minecraft. I do enjoy survival, but I enjoy creative as well. Scratches a different itch, basically.[/QUOTE] autism is more like a tumor than an itch

2:20 at this video looks particularly cool [video=youtube;xX7wpo2peVs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX7wpo2peVs&list=UUftK-tQH9-Pp68v6ImVbrzA[/video] also these door mechanisms are amazing [video=youtube;cC0Yp6Mb7A0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC0Yp6Mb7A0&list=UUftK-tQH9-Pp68v6ImVbrzA[/video]

more dumb LSG theory crafting

Can't say I find slapping like 50 rocket pods onto a large ship remotely cool, it looks stupid, especially considering they all just fire at once instead of one after the other.

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;44661207]I don't understand the desire to build abso-fucking-lutely colossal ships in this game. They're not feasible to move, and they're not even feasible to build unless you have ungodly amounts of free time and a decent computer to handle the inevitable lag.[/QUOTE] Because it's cool? I don't see why I'd want to make small ships unless I wanted to decorate my hangar :v:

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;44663136]Because it's cool? I don't see why I'd want to make small ships unless I wanted to decorate my hangar :v:[/QUOTE] doesn't it feel like you're flogging a dead horse though? you're trying to make something the game clearly doesn't support, and in the end you just create a monster that doesn't even function, nor look good tbh

Will be great with control groups

Anyone want to hop onto a server with me and make a large ship? I suck at designing so some help would be cool. [editline]27th April 2014[/editline] Add me on steam if so

And looking good is an opinion, not universal, so get that notion out of your head that your opinion should matter to other people. [editline]27th April 2014[/editline] not like games are for having fun or anything, we're here for nodachis art class

What's the point of a sandbox block-based space-themed ship-building game, then? Because, according to you, it's obviously not to build whatever you want in space. Come off it, man. You're so self-absorbed that you can't see you're just being an ass.

I finally got around to making something that isn't too much of a box.

Come off it man your just being silly.[/QUOTE] The game is an inanimate object. If I want to push it to whatever limits it has, I have that right. Because I bought it. Your opinion is irrelevant. It's my license to the game, I choose what I want to do with it. You don't have the authority to say otherwise. If you want to push your beliefs on someone, go do it somewhere else. There's no place for that crap here. I'd like to assume we're all stable, reasonable adults capable of reasonable conversation, but I'm slowly seeing that's not exactly the case.

The game will cop out and crash - unless you're running a £8000 rig. Don't start bitching, telling me my opinion is irrelevant when you asked for one. You literally asked for it.

calm the dick down.

guys nobody cares, take it to PMs

I post my first proper ship; gets overshadowed by bullshit.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;44662892]more dumb LSG theory crafting[/QUOTE] I don't get what people have against LSG. His videos are like the only ones I can bear through. (Except the last few episodes of his letsplay survival when he went scripted)

cool to watch, mostly functionally impractical

[QUOTE=Zenreon117;44663979]I don't get what people have against LSG. His videos are like the only ones I can bear through. (Except the last few episodes of his letsplay survival when he went scripted)[/QUOTE] he's okay, but some of his jokes are pretty awkward. I admire his ambitions for the game, but I can't help to be slightly annoyed at the same time since I'm certain what he expects won't happen.

yeah but space engineers has angled blocks -- just because something wont look good in purely cubical form doesnt mean it cant look godly when angled and flattened
