Space Engineers - Say goodbye to Starmade and Blockade runner. - Games

Decided to post a few pictures of a ship I made the other night. Its pretty bare on the inside and I'm open to any suggestions. I don't generally post my ships here but this actually took me quite a while to build [img_thumb]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/543015313173737205/945D944D05D691767DC39AB94398755CB2077BA5/[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/543015313173737290/A9895AFBF7EA5D1CA34AC36B59099ADDED234445/[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/543015313173737474/785D31A733038EC7AEAAF15E43D3FDCFCB342789/[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/543015313173737556/FC3B367F19E0419145C6DF5F147D98113435CB59/[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/543015313173737650/3AC662282D12DB58B83D16459C22CC09EEA0D580/[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/543015313173737762/41E04030B478C030381A916126E3E59E373F8628/[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/543015313173737856/AD5C06748F2419D5E21CC03ACD0B89C68AACF659/[/img_thumb] The "Eye" in the front of the ship can fit very small ships, but I also was thinking of repurposing it to launch torpedoes or something

[QUOTE=flamehead5;46908033]Decided to post a few pictures of a ship I made the other night. Its pretty bare on the inside and I'm open to any suggestions.[/QUOTE] Reverse thrusters? as I have a feeling you may want the ship to you know, stop moving at some point.

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;46908502]Reverse thrusters? as I have a feeling you may want the ship to you know, stop moving at some point.[/QUOTE] Spaceships can rotate

Yeah but rotating your ship around everytime you want to stop is just annoying.

[QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;46909896]Yeah but rotating your ship around everytime you want to stop is just annoying.[/QUOTE] It's still possible, and would have been viable if we had a prograde marker. Setups like that are often present on replicas from real life or imaginary ships made only to look good in creative. Some ships that I design for interplanetary travel have that too, since in months of travel you have more than enough time to rotate. All play-pretend, of course. Flamehead could be doing something like that, or he just forgot, like Rayven said.

I usually keep stopping thrusters to a minimum because that's just how i like to fly. if something stands in my way i rather just steer away from it. I'm still perfectly able to stop (eventually) and back up if i wanted to!

On large ships I tend to pile on both forward and retro thrusters, with some thrusters on the sides for gentle movement and control. On small ships (especially fighters) I focus more on the side and rear facing thrusters for agility, with a few retros just in case. I figure moving horizontally/vertically is far more useful than going forward/backward really fast.

I've seen a glimpse from the tomorrow announcement. I cannot say anything besides that i shat my pants from excitement since its just incredible. Looking forward for the reactions!

Chunking system for Planets/Huge bodies? Travel physically between servers? Space clouds?

It's probably not about Space Engineers, I'm disappointed in advance already so that I won't disappoint myself tomorrow [editline]12th January 2015[/editline] Why would anything nice ever happen

Small ship blocks on large ship grid.

Game is being made into new pikmin game. All space ships gone Veger please, is it about Space Engineers or about Keen in general.

[QUOTE=Holt!;46912428]Game is being made into new pikmin game. All space ships gone Veger please, is it about Space Engineers or about Keen in general.[/QUOTE] Its somewhat general i think i believe i assume i might perhaps.

???

[QUOTE=Holt!;46912469]???[/QUOTE] I got the gestapo standing outside in case i spill the beans. Guess we have to wait till tomorrow.

Seriously guys, if you can wait every Thursday for an update, you can wait another day for an announcement.

I'm ready to be [sp]disappointed[/sp] amazed! :v:

[QUOTE=Trekintosh;46912813]Couldn't you have just said nothing at all instead?[/QUOTE] Too late for that, son.

Could it be [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/spaceengineers/comments/2s3vjx/anybody_know_what_this_is/cnmbf5c"]this[/URL]?

[video=youtube;tnGtoQVOzYM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnGtoQVOzYM&feature=youtu.be[/video] So, I think I found a way to board ships without damaging them, problem is stopping.

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;46913666]Then again even if you had I might have missed them, since I play with thruster damage on so generally don't look/expect thrusters in places where they'd just blow up.[/QUOTE] I've literally just always kept it off because its too much of a pain when landing and making a multitude of contraptions where I'd rather have functionality rather than have to plan out special places for each thruster. On another note, who else is still hoping we'll get some sort of rail system in the future?

Made myself a Semi Autonomous mining drone (does sometimes get stuck, and its more of a drop off and then pick up than completely automated) but I'm rather proud, 53 blocks (25 of which are small containers) 3125L capacity, 2.5x1.5x5.5m in dimensions, coming in at just over 5600kg in weight. It'll head toward an asteroid thats 50m in front of it and once it's drilled through and is clear for 10m all around, it'll stop and wait for pickup.

[QUOTE=Magman77;46916002]this is exactly why the game had a low speed limit[/QUOTE] Even with the speed limits, it still happens to components and ores under the influence of gravity, which, since the armor update, can make making your gravity/rock based weapons a little tricky.
