Criss' Thread

[AtraUnam]

Which would be awkward but not exactly hard to get past either :p

Shhh!

Also do secret areas include the crawl space? I got stuck between two floors during the dev-stream while exiting a core.

Hello! Despite me trying to do these on Sundays it seems that it is becoming a Monday posting instead. Maybe that's okay however since Mondays are the worst.

Anyway I have a small ship today. This here is the Trading Guild Shuttle! It is one of the smallest ships you will be seeing the TG use.

You will probably recognize some similar design styles that a certain master builder uses. Dalmont has helped block out some of the TG ships since his style was so similar to what we had in mind for the TG. After that I ensure the hulls are detailed and consistent. For example, below you will see the engine of the shuttle. It is a design you will see on other small craft for the TG.

Here's a shot of the interior. Plenty of room for a few friends! The ship is quite nimble with a 3:1 thrust to mass ratio.

By now we are starting to see familiar design elements come across in TG builds. Black furniture. Macet lined seats. Blue crystal armor railings and glass. We made sure the ship could fit into various stations including he spawn station. It even comes with a cool door! That's all for now. Next week we will either take a look at more new ships or station refits.

Cool! Does it have any shields, weapons or cargo though? It would be kind of useless(no offense to any visual builders) if it just flew through space. I would just like it to have at least one cargo container, or (i should check if there is a thread about this) give you a reward for destroying it? It could be an ambasitor ship, or something of the sort, but then you should get some kind of reward.

P.S.
Why do you have EVE online on your info thing Criss?

 

[Darkkon]

Well since it's just a shuttle, it likely would be restricted to personnel transport and not combat or freight transfer. Shields would be a good idea though.

Funnily enough, it has more shields than the small freighter posted earlier. Keep in mind that stats are subject to change. They have hardly been flown yet. Keep that in mind everyone. I really don't want to repeat myself if people dislike the numbers of these ships when they are determined.

It's a link to a thread featuring my EVE online builds.

I mean the incentive to go after it. A lot of people want ships that give you a reward, maybe if you overheat a ship and it dies you get x dollars for each remaining mass.

P.S.(edit) Just clicked on the link, really cool idea! I wana do that for things like FTL and stuff now!

Well that is something that is being worked on. Although NPC's need to be in first and a working economy before we can reward the player more than they can already reward themselves.

Honestly, i'd rather capture that shuttle...its a beaut!

 

[SkylordLuke]

love the shuttle!

 

[Nickizzy]

Definitely, but right now I don't think there's a way to capture a ship reasonably intact, you need to destroy just too much of the ship to be able to overheat it and place the faction module(I think that's how you do it)

 

[Darkkon]

do it star wars style with a tractor beam and a hangar? or a stop beam on a turret then board it yourself...

Use a torch?

You still need to somehow claim it

Use a torch?

How do you get inside? Its a small ship, and it has a 3:1 mass ratio, so unless you are really lucky or have a ship that only has stop turrets you will have a pretty hard time getting inside.

Well, the act of boarding would allow you to get inside of it. just shoot the inside until it dies.

Use a stop turret to freeze it in place, cut down the door with the torch. Or, do what I usually do to board, which is "fly past on a thruster stick and hit it with a grappler" and proceed to torch.

How would you board, with it flying around at max server speed?

Stop effect only works so well, unless you have a ship made only to stop one little cruiser you wouldn't get far.

 

[Ithirahad]

...Ew, the Trading Guild is using a heavily asymmetric shuttle? Not sure if I like it...

 

[Lecic]

How would you board, with it flying around at max server speed?

Um... yes? That's how 99% of combat boardings go. You fly at max speed right at them, get out, and grapple.

 

[Nickizzy]

Really? Wow.

Do you have to just enter the core? Or do you have to place a faction block or something?

You need to find the faction module and carve it out of the ship with your torch.
