[QUOTE=Lifeslicer;45297842]So despite being a lurker to the highest degree I figured I'd post for once. Made this ship months ago, kept debating whether or not I should post it- wasn't sure how well some lurking dude dumping images would be received. [/QUOTE] It depends on the quality of the imagedump is. That being said, I wish you had started posting sooner, because that looks damn cool.

idg how you managed to clip the cockpit model krail someone explain?

I kind of wish thrusters were more variable, so I could build huge things like the ones on the back of the Pillar of Autumn.

I really wish that small thrusters didnt do some obnoxiously large cone of damage around them.

[QUOTE=JesseR92;45301890]I really wish that small thrusters didnt do some obnoxiously large cone of damage around them.[/QUOTE] But they don't? They only damage all surrounding blocks if there's a block directly behind that thruster, I guess it's to simulate pressure or something. I just made a ship with a 10 block long "pipe" thing with a thruster inside and it worked just fine.

[QUOTE=ramirez!;45301865]I kind of wish thrusters were more variable, so I could build huge things like the ones on the back of the Pillar of Autumn.[/QUOTE] I don't remember who, but somebody posted concepts of modular thrusters. If only they implemented that.

Give me a minute I'll post my example...

that happens to me as well actually.

I'm really confused I just made this to doublecheck [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/54357796380022339/97AE219296317C5550FFE912828CAE194C28B07D/[/t] And it works fine, nothing gets damaged. I even made sure thruster damage is on by flying near another ship, which quickly got damaged by my side thrusters. [editline]5th July 2014[/editline] Unless you're talking about [I]large[/I] small thrusters, I haven't checked those

I just tried making a large ship in the same configuration and it works fine on my end, even tried it with a large thruster, and nothing around it got damaged. Weird. Maybe it has something to do with multiplayer lag?

I had to move some of my thrusters because there was thruster damage on my fighter in servers where there wasn't in my SP world with thruster damage.

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;45296536]I decided to build a new capital ship for the first time in a while using the AAA modpack. I'm deliberately adding weakpoints so it might actually be fun to fight against in a more nimble vessel. [/QUOTE] I installed that modpack because it looks like it adds a lot, and I can finally make stuff that isn't filled with empty rooms. But when I opened up the game the G menu goes off the screen to the right and I feel like a bunch of things are missing because of that. Is that normal?

[QUOTE=Kommodore;45301509]idg how you managed to clip the cockpit model krail someone explain?[/QUOTE] I made a new block using the large cockpit model. if you're interested, add this to content/data/cubeblocks.sbc: [url]http://pastebin.com/reep5RNU[/url] it lets you place the open cockpit on large and small blocks, though I made the collision mesh smaller on small so you can blend it in with the blocks better [editline]6th July 2014[/editline] do you have any idea how fast you were going?

So I see some people have added new ship-based weapons - is there any documentation on this? I'm interested in modeling some artillery for large and small ships, but I'm hesitant to do it if there's no way for me to add them.

[QUOTE=sabreman;45297822]I'm just wondering, do you play with or without cargoships?[/QUOTE] right now without, they are still too easy to hijack. so early game i leave them off, but they make decent targets to shoot later.

Any of you guys want to help Boris Praversham with a video he'll be doing next week? Its going to be a capture the flag type thing, so we need more members, It'll be going on at about 1pm GMT on the 12th of this month (7am CST, adjust to your timezone accordingly) Also what we need is preferably a decent dedicated server to at least temporarily host this even for that day. If any of you think you can help out, either by joining and attending or being the dedicated server host for this event either; For joining the event (although its first come first served so you may not get in, though if we have a dedicated server to use we might have more people); Join this group [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/TheNidd[/url] and put your name up in the July Weekend Madness thread. If you're able to load us a dedicated server temporarily, simply contact me in this thread or by PM.

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;45307491]I love the pitch blackness, just wish the interior lights were a little more precise - if you crank up the radius they "miss" the floor in 1x1 hallways.[/QUOTE] For some reason they move the light-source further from the interior light when you adjust it to more radius. Probably already said this but for that they should have a separate slider for the distance from the interior light.

Does anyone know of a way to "move" the copied ship away from the player while it's being ghosted? My brother accidentally deleted the ship we were working on while standing inside a vent, and now he can't replace it because hes inside the box around the ship.
