For all my fellow Star Trek fans out there, I have a couple of questions:
Have you ever tried to make a Star Trek TOS ship, and have difficulty with making the Bussard Collectors look right? Have you ever wanted to make them look like they are traveling around like you see in the TV reruns? Now, you can have the epic awesomeness of TOS Styling with…
CAPTAINZACH’S LIGHT-LOGIC STAR TREK BUSSARD COLLECTOR (TOS)
This Logic-Based Lighting system was developed using GaeasSon’s 1to1 Constitution v2, to correctly model the shape (many thanks to him for allowing me to use the design by the way, and he’s welcome to use this in any future TOS ships he updates/makes). The blinking-lights give the illusion of circular movement, making them look really cool. What’s more, activation is as simple as activating a delay block. That’s it! The unit will then cycle on it’s own.
Update: In more recent versions then when I first made this, the light logic cycles on it's own. if you need to reset the system, destroy the Not-Gate on the upper of the two-block high logic system, then replace and re-connect it so it recieves the signal from the delay block next to it, and sends it back into the Delay block to the below the input delay (to shut down the lights that are on).
To get two to activate simultaniously, shut down the lights using the method described above. Then, link an activation module to the front-most lower delay block on each, so that when the button is pressed, the logic cycles correctly on each at the same time.
To use:
1: Download the .zip
2: Open the zipped folder and copy (or remove) one or both of the .sment files to a location on your computer.
3: Launch StarMade
4: On the Second Launcher, go to “Tools -> Open Ship Catalog Manager”
5: Click “Import”
6: Locate and Open the .sment file
7: Run StarMade
8: Purchase Ship
To use as a Template:
1: Enter Ship
2: Build Onto the Collector so that the Advanced Build Area will cover it (Note: Size is about 20 Blocks on X, Y, and Z scales)
3: Resize Adv. Build Area to fit around Bussard Collector
4: Click on “Copy”
5: Click on “Save”
6: Type in a name and Click “OK”
7: Leave ship
8: G0 to ship you wish to copy it to
9: Enter Ship
10: Click “Load”
11: Locate Name and Click “OK”
12: Click “Paste” (Ensuring you have enough blocks to construct it)
13: Click to place it down.
14: Remove Copy rigging on the placed collector.
VIDEO REVIEW:
To be posted at a future date.
USAGE:
This work is free to use by anyone, free of charge. What I DO ask is that maybe you give me credit somewhere on a sign or something. Or not. Up to you I guess.
UPDATE: Working on a Version that uses Red Crystals instead of Red Lights, to make it look better Both will be provided as a .zip download on this page
SPECIAL THANKS:
GaeasSon: For allowing me to use his Star Trek 1to1 TOS Constitution Class v2 as the basis of this design.
