Can i contribute fighters to the FP fleet? They're already in the right colors. Maybe a battleship too.

i just saw this on reddit. [video=youtube;GYZVZBIYf7o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYZVZBIYf7o[/video] this gives me so many new ideas.

I have to ask, are Mining Lasers something that's not going to happen?

Tried it, it works and actually makes for a pretty damn stable turret that spins round.

[QUOTE=Svinpels;45232292]So I made a space station, it's not very big or original compared to some of the stuff I've seen in this thread, but still rather pleased with this though. The ring spins, and have grav generators simulating centrifugal force. [/QUOTE] I love that it's grav generators simulating centrifugal force and not the other way around. :v:

Anyone notice some weird performance changes from the last few updates? It seems to whiplash from high FPS to pitiful chugging for no visible reason except having a block in hand and actively building things.

What i did with one of my test ships is have a merge block on the bottom of the ship and a mergeblock on the rotor facing up, Pretty much allows me to make it into a sort of turntable landing system, you land facing one way and then using the directional keys, spin around, undock and fly back out.

The Birdman is pleased.

Like for a large rocket attack ship, if you have one of these either side, yeah you can only aim up or down, but, you can attach rockets to them and that gives you some degree of control , sure you can only aim up or down, but it give s a bit more range of movement compared to having missle launchers attached only on your ship. You can only fire at whats in front of you if you only use one rotor, but you can aim up or down so you dont have to depend on what you're aiming at being smack in front of your shp.

Whatever happened to the FP space hulk? How far along did that get finished? [QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;45234055]I have to ask, are Mining Lasers something that's not going to happen?[/QUOTE]Probably not, considering we have rather effective large mining drills. [QUOTE=Wickerman123;45232662]It was probably NoDachi.[/QUOTE]To be fair though, having a rock-paper-scissors damage approach isn't really applicable; an equal amount of kinetic energy fucks a thing up equally whether it's from a bullet or a collision. [QUOTE=NightmareX91;45231917]Are dedicated servers possible yet? Because I really think FP should have a dedicated server.[/QUOTE]We had one which was shut down due to the abysmal netcode causing the guy's other things hosted on the same box suffering as well.

Star Trek: Excelsior class 1:1 scale wip by me. Don't expect to see it released anytime soon both because of its size but also because I wont focus that much on it. [img]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/468688231075114877/028EADF6875E26A3E730681C23FE102869F9886B/[/img] There was someone that asked if I was going to do a galaxy class but for space engineers right now that ship is way to big and is a slideshow with just the exterior model. With the excelsior, much like the other star trek ships I done; I am planning full detailed interior for it, taking more fps but its possible above 20 fps (for some) as it's a thin 469 meters long ship. [img_thumb]http://www.hugocalvin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/shipscale1.png[/img_thumb] The galaxy class is in the top of that image and excelsior below, as can be read.

Anyone else encountered a problem where Space Engineers will randomly crash your computer? It's the only game I'm having this issue with and every time it happens I have to do a hard reboot. When and where it happens is completely random apart from the fact that it will always happen within approximately one hour of playing. Seeing as it is as random as it is it's hard for me to pinpoint any likely candidates as to what's causing it, so I'm mostly throwing this out there to see if anyone else has had a similar problem.

Am I alone in thinking that Star Trek ship designs look really dumb and bad?

I've always had a thing for the Intrepid class because of Voyager but the Akira class is my all time favorite Star Trek ship.

[QUOTE=Gentry;45236679]Am I alone in thinking that Star Trek ship designs look really dumb and bad?[/QUOTE] I thought so too (about the excelsior class) before I knew that (in the star trek universe) it was made a few years after the enterprise A which is this: [img]http://www.startrekfreedom.com/wiki/images/5/5b/Constitution2.jpg[/img]

They'd look nicer imo if the engines weren't so far away and attached with the spacecraft equivalent of breadsticks.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;45237007]They'd look nicer imo if the engines weren't so far away and attached with the spacecraft equivalent of breadsticks.[/QUOTE] Shooting those off would not do more than remove the ships warp capability. Their actual engines are mostly in the rear parts of the saucers which are impulse engines: [img]http://i.imgur.com/4BKoSGEl.jpg[/img] Those are most of the time red but color can be different on different ships, placement also sometimes different.

Don't we have a facepunch server somewhere? [editline]28th June 2014[/editline] Just tested my proof of concept rotary saw launcher. It seems like it could work if I made it on a slightly larger scale and devised a reloading mechanism.

I love making bases in those broke torus shaped asteroids. [thumb]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/3262045009270614164/A2F06E36DBA5DA1D78CE52B48DB5E3BC6FA61695/[/thumb]

[QUOTE=Gentry;45236679]Am I alone in thinking that Star Trek ship designs look really dumb and bad?[/QUOTE] Due to a treaty or some shit, none of their ships are allowed to be strictly for military purposes. They're all for exploration and have a shit load of people living aboard.
