^ It's hardly classified, all the stats for everything are public.

ah but is the BP public? i think not.
theres 1 thing knowing stats... and theres another having the BP

Chances are that it will be once the ship is finished :P

So is Keptick building Khanid Apoc as well?

Nope, too busy. And I'm pretty sure that it's Jan's personal project anyways (unless he asks for help of course).

I'll be getting some much needed work done on Charon this weekend.

 

[Keptick]

Soon.

And yea, the gif tool messed up the rings...

Your new ideas continue to intrigue and astound me Kep.

I'd say Id love to see this when done, but I don't think I could appreciate it at 250 draw distance XD

Is that an overly long and dramatic charging sequence for the ultimate doom gun?

Yes >: D

But the rings appear pretty instantly in-game, the gif tool somehow slowed down chunk loading a lot. I'll make a video once it's done, it'll be a lot smoother.

How did you do that?!!

 

[max stripe]

How did you do that?!!

logic rails and force feilds
not hard

 

[Reilly Reese]

question is, is it synchronized with the laser firing?

 

[max stripe]

probly. it is logic after all

Looks like a large part of the weapon range is required just to reach the front of the ship.

Looks like every single time I post an update or picture you nitpick or annoyingly point things out that really don't matter, please stop. No, with default sector size the beam range is high enough that the 500m lost won't really matter (at least not for me).

Edit: For future reference even if it did I wouldn't give a f***

Well, if power gaming is important, why dont we all build doomcubes instead! :D

Sorry, didn't think you're that sensitive.

 

[Keptick]

Sorry, didn't think you're that sensitive.

I'm not, I just thought that it was obvious by now that I wasn't absolutely maxing out performance on every aspect. If having something that looks great means cutting performance a bit than so be it, at the size the ship has it doesn't really make a difference. If I wanted absolute performance I would have made a cube.

I really don't mind critism, it's just that you always do it on the most trivial performance related things and it's annoying.

 

[Keptick]

Here's a little to-do list:
1) finish super weapon
2) Modify Wing turrets for rails
3) finish shield foaming/cubification
4) PD turrets
4) fix up everything that's broken (turret mass enhancers, turret power issues, damage display)
5) install systems
6) Cross fingers that an update doesn't break everything and sets me back by an other 100 hours (again). *sigh*

Do you save your ship after each time you finish something ? Just in case there's a problem ...

Yes, I'm at save #172 now
