    Star Trek Constitution: TMP 0.1848

    This thing is GREAT. Love the exterior, however the bridge part of the exterior is blue not red. Also, can you update the docking it seems whenever I load it up all of the turrets float off. Good ship. I like it.
    Okay, I haven't been able to test anything, but I hope this is as good as previous versions. In other news, thanks for your reply to my earlier review, but the logic I referred to was NOT the impulse board. If you ever decide to do a TOS Connie update (and I hope you will sometime!), I am working on a lighting rig that will mimic the Bussard Collectors seen in TOS Star Trek (although recent large downloads and slow Library net have made working on it impossible for the past few weeks), and when I complete it you are welcome to use it on your ships if you wish.

    I made this back in April and it seriously needs an update, but if you want a test-platform to experiment on, here is my TOS Constitution.

    This might be your best work yet i love the elevators and turrets ecspecially

    Thanks. Very glad you like it.
    This latest update sounds awesome, but I can't figure out how to activate the impulse drive. Do you have to stand on the helm station? When I tried it nothing happened.

    Go to engineering, start the logic clock on the fore-starboard wall. This will incidentally set the engine pulsing and the exterior marker lights to flashing. The impulse drive won't work without this clock running.

    On the fore-port wall, you can activate the impulse drive for "cruise control" mode. the ship will travel while you explore.

    Alternately, the drive can be activated by standing on the foot plate on the bridge.
    This ship is amazing. I loved the original version, and this refit blows it out of the water! So many novel ideas and details to see, in my opinion this is hands down the best ship you can download in this size range.

    Take it out and explore your galaxy!

    Thanks! This ship could also be titled "Everything I have learned so far about StarMade". I'm glad you are enjoying it.
    A very good looking rebuild! I have yet to check out how it functions but I'm sure I won't be let down! I am looking forward to you doing a TOS version (and maybe I might have some logic you can use for that...IF I work out the bugs first) All in all, I like what you've done with it thus far.

    I see you also reviewed the impulse board: Yes, it works, and has been incorporated into this build. Try activating the clock on deck B, then activating the switch on the bridge (deck A)
    Acceleration isn't great, but if you want to travel while you walk around the ship, this is the way to go.

    Try not to fly through a star.
    Well I just tried out the update and here's my verdict:

    I like the ship's new acceleration, but I miss the overdrive (I like going faster than 50)
    Also, I wish that the photon torpedo were guided (it's miserable trying to hit a moving enemy with fire and forget missiles).

    Your concerns are answered in the newest version (0.1848)
    I have tried it out for a few seconds and I already love it to bits. I like how you made the turrets, for that matter I like how you made all the systems on the ship. You even filled in the stardrive hull.

    The only negative thing I can say is that I wish the impulse cruise was faster, but that's an insignificant point.

    P.S. Is it just me or does the ship seem slightly smaller than past versions?

    I'm glad you love it. :) And nope, it's actually 1m taller. to make the lifts work out I had to raise the bridge module by 1 block.
    Overall great ship, well done. I liked that it uses damage beams instead of Antimatter Cannons, it makes the whole thing feel slightly more Treky.
    All in all very good. However, there are a few difficulties I have with it.

    First off, there are too many turrets, and it lags my game to scrap. I suggest only adding in the ones that are of absolute neccesity. This should reduce lag. Also, in my opinion, the doors should automatically open when you walk through them. This is achieveable very easily, and will not cause much lag. Finally, in the neck section, you have the player go up 1 block to the next jump tube, but when in gravity the wedges you have as a decoration block the way up, and I recommend you fix that. However, in spite of this, it's a very good ship.

    (one small side note: there is a large table just off sickbay. I have no idea what it is for, and I am hoping you could explain. If it's a conference room, try opening it to the corridor.)

    Thanks!
    too many turrets: Yeah probably. Sorry about the lag.
    Automatic doors. Next version. as per the release notes this is a WIP.
    Tube wedges: WIP: that whole area is being remodeled.
    The table off the med bay is a surgical bed.
    are you ever going to give me the USS Enterprise D to finish
    This is the ugliest of all Enterprice versions.

    The scale does not allow for great interior, especially in the passage between the soucer section and "engine room" section.

    I agree about the awkwardness of the boom between the main and engineering hulls from an architectural perspective. Double that in Star-Made without lifts in ships.

    I think the overall lines of the craft are quite graceful, though. Meh, to each their own.
    OMG dude epic build skills. I attempted build just the outer hull of it before we had the new block shapes my attempt didn't do it any justice this does.
    Great redoing of the hull and the ship overall, excellently executed example of extremely extraordinary excessive excellence. Haha, really didn't know what to write here, hope this is constructive enough. Anyways, you deserved 5 Stars!

    Thanks for all the wonderful reviews! Yes, I'm migrating all my ships from the old site. Kudos to the Site masters! Being able to organize successive versions of the same ship is WONDERFUL.
