Space Engineers - Say goodbye to Starmade and Blockade runner.

[woolio1]

There is absolutely no point yet. The point will be to build and fly spaceships with your friends. That's it.

So yes.

how's the framerate[/QUOTE]On the fucked up mirror one, it seems the game doesn't lag that much in terms of FPS, but the timescale slows down considerably when I get in the little ship; probably as the game now has to calculate possible collisions.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;42727028]Its hella cool and all

but maybe its a little repetitive.[/QUOTE]True. Those pics are of the fucked up mirror save, however :v:
I've been adding detail in layers as ideas come to me, sort of like the reverse of a sculptor. I'm definitely going to add some final details to break up the monotony, just haven't figured out what yet.

Working on reducing repetition (going to add some sort of tower on the corner as well), but haven't gotten that far currently. Also added side thrusters in what looks like a suitable place on the left arm (I'd rather not build more huge clusters of thrusters for anything other than the forward and reverse thrusters)

I decided to make another save of my Mammoth and crash it into the red ship. This is the aftermath.

One of it's large reactors was destroyed and it's gravity generators and gyroscopes were lost.

So what World do people use to just make stuff. Currently I just do Survival because it starts with asteroids, but I don't have to delete the default ships.

Is there an easier way to be doing this or something? It doesn't feel right.

I'm sorry but whenever I see that ship the only name that comes to mind is the S.S. Greeble.

Doesn't stop it from being awesome, though. Damn.

WIP shot of a multi purpose ship, can be converted into an industrial ship, light fighter carrier and personnel shuttle.

Personnel variant:

Edit: Started work on the fighter carrier version, about 4-6 fighters can be fit in across the 3 decks if I'm lucky.

[Col. Buggernuts]

Top and sides almost finished (right side missing supports from the lower side, front end of arms not done), just need to reduce repetition then i'll get cracking on the underside of the ship.

Usually best to design the fighters first, then the bays; unless you make the bays oversized, there'd a chance that fighters you design later might not fit right. At least, that's what's happened to me a few times on that black ship I made a while back.

[Flamesfan]

Some of you guys designs are just.......

I just spent an hour on what I can only describe as a gray box with engines.

Yeah, got a very small and portable design done, key factor is that it is only 1 cockpit in height, and flat.
Means I can store them in a variety of ways :D

Ill put a screenshot up after I finish painting some ships. Yes, I paint them afterwards.

Edit: fuck just smashed it into pieces when I alt tabbed. NOT FAIR. Rebuilding :(

i take it it's not currently possible to attach small ship blocks to big ship ones? i hope they make that possible at some point, would be useful for adding detail

I guess SS Greeble is indeed an appropriate name, in that case :v:

Arrrrrgh I just built a wonderful little fighter, accidentally crashed into an asteroid while flight testing, and realized that I never quicksaved. Fuck!

The game seems hellbent on not letting me finish it though, crashing multiple times in an hour. Not letting it stop me though.

The design is more or less mixture of starcraft Battlecruiser, the cruisers from WH40k, and my own stuff slapped onto it.

Current tally of guns is 264 Gatling Turrets, and 54 Missile turrets. Insides are done except for the main hull section, which is currently empty 3 levels(although there is a staircase connecting them all, with the topmost level having a staircase up to the bridge. The neck is also split into two levels, which are both accessed through the same central staircase) with room for extra reactors and stuff to put in, like assemblers etc. The side pylons that will be built in time will mostly just have thrusters for up/down and backwards.

Keep in mind that after every update, you'll need to re-apply the LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE tag to SpaceEngineers.exe. The .cfg variable change sticks, though.

You should probably get that symptom checked out.

But in all seriousness, it's still missing the primary control pontoons from the end of those two corridors, at which point it'll look more like an Y shape.

Here's some of the other stuff I've made, three different "sister" ship designs, a Star Control 2 inspired "modular" ship, and some other stuff:
