wheeeeeeeeeeee[/QUOTE]A minor but significant improvement would be to smooth over the back's square edges.

My ship so far
I like the possibility of online servers using certain colours for certain ships, such as pirates and tradesmen having different stripes for their ships for easy identification, so when your ship gets raided and stolen, they repaint it in pirate colouring. Or if you are a tradesman, keeping it as is to fool other players.

I really hope that they add LAN support for this game. This game would make a really cool game for LAN parties considering the chaos it could bring with ship crashes and battles once weapons are active.
After dicking around last night I decided to give making an actual ship a go.

I think it came out alright. Noticing some parts I can fix up now but oh well.
[QUOTE=qwerty000;42650652]The game probably didn't exist back then, maybe it was for miner wars[/QUOTE]
Right, that was my mistake. It was in month 10, so, this month I suppose. I did find a moderator post, though.
[quote]Hi, adding features, AI and other stuff is now not possible. We'd like to implement scripting API, but that's far in future now, because community wants mostly Multiplayer and survival now.
Maybe you read it on other threads. Modding is currently possible only by changing contents of XML files and replacing textures. Model builder will be available after some time, so you can add new blocks, but only with existing functionality.
runaum, thank you![/quote]
Multiplayer mode scripting would be my ideal, first being capture the flag or base wars, probably. It seems the developers have a direction they want to go with this game, but if it was completely open like gmod there'd probably be no end to my fiddling.

If they ever implement the ability to make gun emplacements swivel, that's the first thing I'm adding to this ship.[/QUOTE]

Seems all my Filesmelt images don't load anymore. Good thing i've saved all 300+ mb of pictures i've taken up to this point :v:

Working on my first space station, gonna have hangars, engineering areas and a landing platform for large ships

Just a link to a bunch of pics of my WIP. A medium-ish battleship class warship. It's frustrating to build while I'm still getting used to the games controls but I think it's starting to come along, it's going to have more shape and bulkiness once I make the main interior. Right now I'm focusing on making the interior so I can build the outside of the ship around it.
I actually fucked up the fin, made it wide at the end and not at the base. Either I have to fix it or remove the whole damn thing.
I'm also planning making another longer fin more towards the back on top.

I'm not satisfied with the inside though, everything has to be so huge.

The last picture clearly showing how much I value crew safety. Forgot about the HUD in it as well.
how the fuck are these people building these large complicated ships n shit
this is literally all i am capable of

You just gave me an design idea...
So I attempted to make my first ship today. A medium multirole short range armed cargo ship. Running mass is just a hair over 2 million kilograms.

Interior is pretty sparse right now. Just some interior turrets for intruder defense. Cargo bay, looking from front to back. The floor exit thing had a run-in with my small shuttle and I haven't repaired the hull yet.

Recessed bridge is also extremely basic, just cockpits and 2 turrets for interior defense and a ramp up to the forwards windows.

It's not particularly sturdy, but it has plenty of space between the cargo bay and the outer hull for additional reactors, gyroscopes, or armor. It's also quite maneuverable and fast in its current state.

It is obviously not much of a match for the red default ship, despite having a couple hundred thousand kilograms advantage. It's quite large for its mass, so it really isn't that good for ramming. It also only has a small-ish weapons loadout, barely suitable to smack the gobs of other freighters.
As you can see there are no living quarters or amenities at the moment.. The cargo bay can easily be reconfigured to allow it to operate as a short range crew transport or mining barge. Currently I'm looking at a light carrier setup with 3 small fighters.
I'd really appreciate some feedback on it, too.
I can't even build a decent ship because of the lack of build mode or something. I've played a bit of StarMade with friend and it's so much easier to build stuff in a build mode rather than flying around as a person placing blocks.
So is this worth buying right now?
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;42651645]So is this worth buying right now?[/QUOTE]
Yes, It's a ton of fun to build/crash space ships into each other and it's not very pricey, considering we can expect a lot of content in the future.
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;42651645]So is this worth buying right now?[/QUOTE]
Definitely worth buying my only complaint is how awkward it is to make anything though.

I have been slowly working on a ship building the interior and trying to build around it to make it look cool on the outside. It is going well but is so time consuming.
[QUOTE=alexojm;42651725]Definitely worth buying my only complaint is how awkward it is to make anything though.[/QUOTE]
A blueprint/build mode would make this game fantastic. Maybe something like a building drone you can control that can move around quickly and accuratly to build things.

I just want mirroring, holding off building until that. Then going to try to make a 1km (400 cubes) ship.

Oh man mirroring would save so much time it is unreal. And what sirdownloadsalot said about a quickly moving drone I would love to it might actually speed things up a bit.

Blueprint mode is already coming. Not sure to which extend.

Oh yeah you got the dev on Skype. Pester him about mirroring pls

So I tried to build large as I could, and this seems to be about the limit. The game is beginning to crash pretty constantly as I try and add new blocks.
The interior is.. kind of complete. The deck floors have been placed in and the rear section has a pretty cool engineering department.
No lighting because i'm pretty sure trying to light all the inside would break my computer.
It looks a bit shitty because I can't really add any more detail to the outside due to block limits, which is a shame. I'm gonna try and keep building while dealing with the crashes but it's gonna be slow.

I suck at making ships. Trying to make a medivac carrier type ship.
Just finally saw this thread and thought "Shit. I can't wait for the 23rd." Then I just realized it's the 26th. Space Engineers here I come!
