[editline]3rd November 2013[/editline] In mid construct I actually forgot that you need thrusters on every direction, so I had 4 thrusters at back and when I test-flew it I set my speed to 0.3 m/s and it slowly was flying away from spawn and I was quickly puttin other thursters on the fly.[/QUOTE] When I first played the game I didn't realize the game used the stabilizer-thruster concept, so I quickly lost lots of ships early on without knowing what the fuck was going on :v:

[QUOTE=RocketRacer;42747159]Make a space iceberg. :downs:[/QUOTE] ... an asteroid?

What'l they do first? ship ai or character ai? Probably ship. But do characters come before station and faction ai? (build ship, send ship to this region, attack blue ships, return money for more ships) I don't think massive fleet battles would be that much of a problem though.

Helping out translating this atm, It's quite fun, and you get to see alot of upcoming features in the strings you translate, such as ore's, ship features, and tools.

Am I the only one who has a hard time designing an interior knowing that rooms don't really have an purpose right now. We have engines, generators, gyros, pilot station, and that's basically it. Med bay is useless, cargo bay has no purpose, and docking bay mechanics have yet to be implemented. It's hard designing a ship to be realistic or whatever when you only need two rooms.

So I just got this game. One question though: How do you guys keep your shit from flying away when you bump into it. It's infuriating me.

I made a pretty shitty Blade Mk5, it was my first ship. [img]http://i.imgur.com/Sg2gOrT.jpg[/img] I unfortunately lost it after accidentally bailing, the reverse thrust wasn't enough to overcome the forward in time, so the ship flew out of sight. I had also started work on a Taiidan resource collector, one of the earliest known space trucks.

Trying to design a space station but im just thinking that it'd be pretty useless at the moment

[QUOTE=Gen. Crumpets;42746394]i was just building by far my biggest ship yet i had just about finished unfortunately the ship was very far away from the starting area, but it'd be fine since i'd spawn right where i was i save and go for a while when i return, i'm back at the starting area i've been searching for an hour in one of the starter fighters and i can't find it [IMG]http://puu.sh/57Syv.gif[/IMG][/QUOTE]You can change the location of a ship using the ship import/export tool.

Is it fun to play as it is now? I'll probably buy it no matter what, but I have so many alpha-released games already. :(

[QUOTE=Mr.Jinxed;42752096]Is it fun to play as it is now?

Right now there's very little in the way of gameplay, so I wouldn't call it much fun, after the first half hour of ramming things.

What that means in terms of worth is up to you. There's going to be new features obviously, but that's what it is at the moment.

Space minecraft with ships that can smash and break apart !!!!

I hope the next update adds at least one weapon, or the drill; starting to exhaust all creative motivation.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;42753501]I hope the next update adds at least one weapon, or the drill; starting to exhaust all creative motivation.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I'm running out of creative steam for building things and running them into each other. I want weapons and defenses so I can start incorporating combat effectiveness into my designs.

Best order for updates: Guns working. ship ai working. Ship spawning system. Teams. An infinite amount of teams. Teams colour their ships. That'd be a fantastic update. Then followed by: Missions where you must travel from zone to zone. Making money for every zone you go too. probably under the pretext of 'cargo delivery' New ship hull sets. and then: simple Firearms doors Simple humanoid ai. finaly Resource/cargo management. life support. Then every subsequent update just builds upon those features.

i think it would be great to get a ship spawner/ADV Duplicator kinda thing before ship AI

I'm getting a bit afraid of alpha releases like this. I've gotten tired with at least a couple of games already before they're actually released, cheapening the actual release. :/

thanks to the help of awesome user Bletotum, I managed to get my lost ship back! [t]http://puu.sh/58Byy.jpg[/t] though there may have been a slight problem when my first attempt didn't go well [t]http://puu.sh/58BAo.jpg[/t]
