[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;45024179]Imgur is being a bitch (doesn't seem to give me all the images I uploaded, and sometimes gives me someone else's instead), so here's one picture while I upload them separately to my 1337upload account.

I'll look through my other ships and find something suitable to bulk out that section with. [editline]7th June 2014[/editline] Added one of my old, large ships to the skinny bit. It looks rather more plain than all the other ships included, but that'll be fixed with rocket launcher fire and rust paint when we've got enough ships (i.e. when it becomes infeasible for people to even load the save) [t]http://files.1337upload.net/2014-06-07_00021-e610df.jpg[/t] [editline]7th June 2014[/editline] Speaking of more ships, should we have smaller ships implemented thus that they look like they've crashed and wedged into the larger ones? Anyway, here's the save as it currently stands, i'll let someone else continue to add to it for now; i've got some ideas for ships I want to pursue in the meantime. [url]http://files.1337upload.net/SPACE_HULK-d668ec.zip[/url][/QUOTE] Im picking up the save again, gonna add some smaller ships to flesh it out and start connecting conveyor networks

That thing ^ is neat but imo looks way too clean, you should smash the ships into each other, then connect them, or shoot them apart into smaller pieces, right now it just looks like a bunch of factory new ships docked together in a weird way :v

Figured that could wait till there's more ships. [editline]7th June 2014[/editline] Plus rust paintjob everywhere.

towards the front I would smash all the ships together before I docked them, but I didnt do that in the middle becasue I didnt want to destroy the gravity drive. Im working on it with warheads and rockets now. [editline]7th June 2014[/editline] Also, I grouped together all the mass blocks and the gravgens for not-fucking-up-everything purposes

[QUOTE=xxfalconxx;45021338]So I tried my darndest to make a spacehulk. [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/776056901523180561/45A4C8D9F068070E678A4F995040EB0A3616C032/[/t] From a distance.

I wanted to put more, but ships mysteriously began exploding when I tried to connect more.

I feel like I could've made it bigger if I had better graphics, but as it stood, my card was on the verge of meltdown. Someone else will have to make a bigger spacehulk.[/QUOTE] This is the most pretty thing I saw in months. Thanks for the inspiration! Also looks like a proper real life space ship/station.

Working on a more sensible successor to the SS Greeble, starting with the bridge piece I designed a while back. In particular, it'll probably ditch the pronged fork shape, and most importantly have a fully-functional conveyor system. Any empty spaces won't be filled with armour (unless a critical section), but little tunnels, shafts and whatnot. Going to try to make as many components as possible accessible from the inside.

[editline]7th June 2014[/editline] Also, I grouped together all the mass blocks and the gravgens for not-fucking-up-everything purposes[/QUOTE]You could perhaps also make a heavily-armoured stick whose sole purpose is to scrape the edges of the hulk, so there's more damage variety than merge block collisions and explosives.

the last 2 ships I added I made sure to have at least 3 high speed collisions and one of them I even got to noclip inside the hulk, then grab and tear out a huge chunk, and I think it looks pretty nice.

Ill continue hulking tonight. Im gonna need to but a better processor, my i5 is bottlenecking the project a little.

you guys totally have to ensure the different ships are all internally linked so that you can get as absolutely lost inside as possible

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;45026937]i swear this one looks like a space rifle[/QUOTE] It did end up that way yes thats a recent retrofit those Torpedoe tubes were previously side by side so it looked like a space shotgun.

[QUOTE=Squeegy Mackoy;45026197]Did anyone ever play Star Trek: Elite Force? There was a mission set inside a mash up of Klingon, Romulan and federation ships and there were all these hallways where you walk through an improvised hole in the wall made door and it'd be a different ship's interior on the other side. [editline]7th June 2014[/editline] I was about to say fixed large ship weapons but then I realised they already exist. Lets go with: Pre-programmed enemy npc ships once programming comes out.[/QUOTE] I only have 800 hours in Elite Force and 300 in EF2. That level is one of my favorites because the stealth mechanics actually work pretty well.

you guys should have an FP survival server entirely on the hulk once it's all finished and interlinked, like there's resources scattered around it or you have to be the first to get to the central ship or something. mainly cos i wanna see people set up little survivalist hideaways like that dude in Predators

oh man that'd be great it'd be like SE SS13 except with fewer intricacies. Dead space, few if any asteroids one huge space hulk spawn ships are minimalistic pls make this happen

What fps are you guys getting with the space hulks?

How are you guys making the space hulks? are you ramming them into each other or using merge blocks? I can't really contribute any ships to it but what I can do is make gravity mazes

[QUOTE=Toyokunari;45029258]What fps are you guys getting with the space hulks?[/QUOTE] I am also curious, I can't imagine anyone's going to get a reasonable framerate with anything less than a 670. :v:

My framerate utterly died on the interior but wasn't too horrifying when I was outside

maybe we should build ships with the space-hulk-only approach in mind, meaning no spotlights, fewer high-poly components, minimalistic lighting, etc [editline]today[/editline] Sitkero please change your avatar to something less sexy

[QUOTE=Toyokunari;45029258]What fps are you guys getting with the space hulks?[/QUOTE] -1fps

it's the turrets that ruin my fps

i agree. the turrets eat an abnormal amount of power. If they just sat the fuck down and stopped looking around like a bunch of autists, i think we'd be good. [editline]7th June 2014[/editline] also my modular battleship design needs serious redesigning. The actual frame of it is fine- it's strong and has a lot of ports, plus its own backup power- but the modules themselves need to be rebuilt with micro-thrusters in mind to keep them from flying off to ohfuckistan.

[QUOTE=Magman77;45029248]oh man that'd be great it'd be like SE SS13 except with fewer intricacies. Dead space, few if any asteroids one huge space hulk spawn ships are minimalistic pls make this happen[/QUOTE] also it's just occurred to me that it will probably be super haunted by space ghosts, or at least everyone will say that it is. i mean if everyone sticks to their own area and the intermediate sectors are all abandoned and unlit i can see some Metro 2033-style ghost stories coming out of it [editline]8th June[/editline] like the glitch with the nameless dead guy suddenly appearing will happen in some ship and everyone will EVA around it just to avoid going through there

I remember a dead spaceman just chilling on top of a refinery in someone's base It kinda kept me company

did they tighten up the station block/asteroid placement collisions or something it seems impossible to do a nice looking asteroid base now because even the slightest contact isn't allowed

Really looking forward to programming. I hope we can get direct control over the gatling guns, in which case I'd try to build a space CIWS.
