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

It's so disappointing when I'm working on like a megafuckshitholyfuckspunkgarglewee-sized cruiser and then my framerate declines to about 30 or something and it's just adfghudfghadgfg

Really starting to get into this, built a station and a small ship/shuttle But now I want to start something really cool... So after hours of research, study and back breaking labor I have this incredibly complicated plan. [T]http://s13.postimg.org/kc4wbt4p3/Mahspaecshep.jpg[/T] It's okay if you don't fully understand the mechanics behind it, some people just aren't cut out to be rocket scientists.. Obviously I still have a lot to do, like making it look really cool, it's still in the bare bones stage. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any really cool ideas to make it better or look cooler. Especially with the interior. And some bonus pictures of Engineering and the tail end so far.

[QUOTE=rulssi;42709905]This was uploaded by devs today, pretty cool. Can't wait to have this in moving ships. [video=youtube;aZQX3ubnFuo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZQX3ubnFuo[/video][/QUOTE] Hahaha I had an idea of making a chain (or more like a joint) type thing but forgot :v:

Can't wait to try this out, I'll try to build DS9! I'm hoping we get some sort of crew system, or atleast a way for people to man different positions on a space ship (a navigator, turret guy, etc.). I'm also hoping for atmosphere in the ships, so you can have oxygen and shit... for no other reason than that it would be cool. Also, huge cargo bay doors. Please.

Finished the exterior of one of the 2 hangars. [t]http://i.imgur.com/nVqR1vy.jpg[/t]

Just got this, pretty excited to get building! hope it gets some more substantial gameplay down the line.

[QUOTE=Joazzz;42703792] and that reminds me, can't wait to see how Ogo's project is going[/QUOTE] Slow at the moment. Had a few midterms this week. Exterior of bridge (basic shell without intricacies) is almost done, and rough outline of the hull is finished.

i reallllly hope large ships receive some kind of optimization

So many blocks though. So many fucking blocks. I may have to resort to interior thrusters if I hope to get to anywhere near an operable speed. Currently, it weighs about 8 kilotonnes, and it is not even remotely close to a tenth of it's finished mass. [editline]31st October 2013[/editline] My automerge.

[QUOTE=mcattack1092;42704032]Reactor bay of my new ship. [thumb]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/470918225707342042/B8AC396E4AF0C65EC235F62E93F893BFEA6C7862/[/thumb][/QUOTE] You gave me a brilliant idea bout thrusters internally. Keeps kamikaze fuckers from taking out your mobility easily!

I don't care about energy shields. But i hope other defensive/offensive technologies exist (other than little turrets). laser defense systems (for shooting down missiles) Self repairing armours. (expensive and using power) Swarm missiles big missiles Fixed railguns (cannons that have great piercing power, lined up like blocks) Grapling hooks Boarding tubes. (bridges that come out when activated, cutting a hole in the hull) Boarding missiles (large rocket propelled coffins that carry people/robots in). Power drain/overload weapons. Bioweapons. magnetized shoes- incase boarding goes wrong and you end up on the outside of the hull of a fast flying ship. Good door systems. security alarms. Cameras/scanners that tell the player/allies exactly where boarders are. Anti-personnel crew/turrets/traps. Humanoid robots and Drone controlled ships. Possibly with matching consoles that allow the player to Take control. I've listed way too much and i don't even have the game. Could someone kindly gift me a 25% discount?

It would probably be a pain to make but someone should do the Arclight from FireFall. [t]http://firstpersonshooters.net/Games/FireFall/vehicles/Arclight/images/day12_arclight.jpg[/t] Would be too big to make to scale I think. Picture of it sticking out of the water (it crashes in the games story) [t]http://i.imgur.com/i5XpB.jpg[/t]

So after my harpoon ship prematurely hit the memory limit and the P-38 ship got corrupted, Im gonna try to make an orc-like ship today that utilizes maximum dakka and da ramz

[QUOTE=The Jack;42711542] Self repairing armours. (expensive and using power) [/QUOTE] I dont think this would be a good idea at all. Perhaps, instead, and idea would be some sort of nanolathe that would be on a station or a drone, that you can fly around and repair your ship with, if you have a copy of the ships blueprints (somehow gotten before the ship is destroyed). It would take quite a bit of time, resources, and energy, but I could see repair stations set up specifically for this and it would be cool to cripple one's fleet by taking out their only repair ship/station, and watching as they cannot repair.

[QUOTE=matt000024;42680897]Is one big thruster worth the same amount of small ones you can occupy its space with or larger?[/QUOTE] I timed the 0 to 10 m/s acceleration time of one large thruster attached to a chunk of ship, then replaced it with small thrusters and removed excess armor blocks as needed to keep the weight the same. I found that 1 large thruster exerts force equal to 15 or 16 small thrusters, while occupying less space and adding less weight.

Finished the exterior of the other hangar, added frontal supports to the bridge (now with 300% more gatling!), and a little bit of detail in the diagonal corners between the arms and the central section containing the bridge. On a related note, I find duplicating to the other side of a ship goes a lot faster since I already know what to do. Might try an asymmetrical ship after this one. [t]http://i.imgur.com/ndvOAeV.jpg[/t] On an unrelated note, I have the most posts in this thread :v: NoDachi being second with slightly less than half mine. Not sure whether to be proud or concerned with my own mental wellbeing.

I want this game to have a option for when blueprint saving is a thing. When you are on a different server and have the resources to build your ship, theres a box that you can tick for it to allow you to weld the ship from anywhere and it would just randomly pick blocks to complete if you don't want to do 1 block after 1 walking around on it, since in some designs you would likely not be able to reach some blocks it would be a great thing to have available.

When making something meant to transport a loose object, ensure that the acceleration is not too high! [thumb]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/504695222929524383/7FDA6493BA7047A93D8969FD448BC10EF40FE17D/[/thumb]

browsing the workshop and saw 'Y wing station' [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/541849273233235964/8D14A44D52E2C4C4E2A38F7E4CB9CE2E2C09E89D/[/t] clever

I don't know how there going to balance the big ships turning rate, because there are going to be people who slap on a million gyro's to there ship.

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;42712344]i dont know how that guy mined the interior of the asteroid he didnt ram it all... right?[/QUOTE]Can't remember which world, but one of them has some very spacious asteroid caves.

since moving parts have been confirmed, i made this little plan for in case smaller asteroids become movable at some point [img]http://files.1337upload.net/spinnyfing.jpg[/img] 1. build this cross-shaped thing 2. thrusters etc. 3. get some asteroids and somehow secure them to the ends of the sticks 4. find some asshole 5. spin that thing up 6. detach the asteroids at precisely the right moment (fire guns to break the attachments for example) 7. [t]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111001153357/starwars/images/7/7d/FireandBrimstone.jpg[/t]

I decided to play with spinning gravity generators I feel sick

Here's some more pics of my ship that I was working on: [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/IgiZCMv.jpg[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/quIHIXx.jpg[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/ST5vxwA.jpg[/img_thumb] I plan to make the back of the ship thicker or taller.

Well, I managed to get the engine array up and running [img]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/505821122840249923/5102D079625D8E348596CC2A77155030412595E5/[/img] Next up, the other 80% of the ship... God I need symmetry tools...

I'd really like to see someone make the Venator Class Star Destroyer, its shorter then an Imperial Class, I think its smaller. But it has a landing bay in the centre, plus those 2 side hangers. [url]http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Venator-class_Star_Destroyer[/url] Honestly, if it were not for the Double bridges, it would be my favourite ship class from Star Wars. I Might try it myself once they up the memory limit.
