oh man, I cant wait to start building ships and kiting em out.
Gotta be my favorite thing to do.
I just read all ten pages. Sounds F-ing awesome. But you really should make another thread for this.
One question, is this an addon or a gamemode? 'Cuz SB3 is a fucking addon (which annoys me, because you have to turn it off every game you don't play with it on). I would hope it's a gamemode, so its turned on only when you want it to be. By that I mean only when you start it as the game's gamemode.

Or add an option in the menu to disable it. or only enable it when a certain gamemode is played.
It's all one gamemode. Life Support isn't separate or anything.
Will the life support work on single player? because sb3 ls always has bugs and stuff...(e.g. in singleplayer, you can only make energy, cant use it or make anything else, just energy...)

Thats going to be handy. So! Anything new to tell us? Any new enemies in dark looking planets? :cthulhu: :kraken:
space pirates? :yarr:
We just figured out a way to make it so players can walk across the entire sphere of the planet. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woySeSNBL3o]Here is a video.[/url]

Jeez, I thought for a moment you were being serious.
you only posted a search first :P dont think you can slip by me hahaha
At first I was like :raise:
Then I was like :gizz:
You know that spherical gravity has been around for a while? There are a couple of videos of it.
Anyway, it's impractical. As soon as someone tries to fly around in a spacebuild map with scenery sticking out in all directions, they will realize this.

some of us deserved that
Trololololol.
Anyways...
Someone already asked --
DOES IT WORK IN SINGLE PLAYER? Tired of F-ing energy only. SB3 can kiss my arse, mate!
[QUOTE=Jrose14;23072732]DOES IT WORK IN SINGLE PLAYER? Tired of F-ing energy only. SB3 can kiss my arse, mate![/QUOTE]Um... SB3 works fine in single player. All of it...
You need to be on a spacebuild map, though. Perhaps that is your problem?
you need to select the SB3 gamemode duh...
Why would they make you need an addon AND the gamemode..?
You don't need the addon and the gamemod however you are ONLY supposed to have one. Also ya it has to be a 'sb_' map.
On topic: I am wondering what this game mode will offer someone single-player wise. That is one thing that sb3 always annoyed with (that feels like a weird sentence). So ya: aliens, pirates, parasites etc?
Spacebuild is a sandbox, Frontier is also a sandbox. You build and create things. If you want awesome space battles with aliens/infestors/whatever, build/create them yourself. Plenty of third party addons for that sort of thing.
Spacebuild 3 is contained entirely within the addon, unlike its predecessor. The gamemode is comprised only of a checking program to see if you have all the necessary addons to run Spacebuild (if you don't, it spams the in-game chat saying so)
/off-topic advice to those above.
Hmm, is it possible to give any frontier weapons an alternate fire mode? Say, decrease the damage of the beam cannon, but sustain the beam for a longer period of time? I imagine that the B.C. would make a decent defense against fighters if it had the ability to drag the beam across multiple, closely grouped targets.

yeah, that would be epic. shunt an uholy ammount of power into it to up damage or sustain it longer.

or siphon so much power into it it turns into something else entirely...
probably too late into development for that
but it would be cool to have some sort of limited 'element X' you could find on planets to superpower and transform weaponry
[QUOTE=Galoi;23123983]yeah, that would be epic. shunt an uholy ammount of power into it to up damage or sustain it longer.[/QUOTE]
But it already uses an unholy amount of power.
[QUOTE=Slash559;23128476]But it already uses an unholy amount of power.[/QUOTE]
Please keep in mind, that the regular cannon setup is perfect for it to be just an over-powered cannon, but I'm looking to turn it into a sustained beam of doom-a-la-yamato gun. Not sure if I already pasted the link or not but this is what I mean. [URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN4rhJc08x4[/URL] the relevant bit is 4:41-4:46. In short, I'm looking for a wave motion gun.
Something like this:

Would be more epic than words could describe

I liked the fire rippling up the sides. It'd be great if we could use something similar, like something to disperse a reactors heat on the outside of a ship with a similar effect.
has anyone ever thought of us being able to make our own effects and use them on components on public servers, nothing more complex because it would take an age to upload :P. Just thought it there, it would add an epic amount of variety to our ships.
:unsmith: Spacebuild crashed all to much. If Frontier crashes once for me (when it comes out, ofc) I will find you creators, and burn you. :unsmith:

the creators [b]aren't[/b] linked to space-build. Just because you've had bad experiences with space type game-modes isn't a justifiable reason to threaten random people who are trying their best to give the community quality content.
Its like saying,

That's another thing I like about the superlaser that ship has, is the heat distortion and glowy particle effect that runs the length of the ship before the weapon fires.
