Operation: DWV Colony ship

[AAlexandrosTGreat]

omfg so pretty when do you estimate the ship will be done? be sure to include some turrets because a ship that nice being cut down by pritates is very sad

Im planning on getting about a floor done a day so work will be progressing quickly. The ship will also be protected by a large variation of turrets.

This ship looks really nice, will you show a picture of the outside so we can get an idea of the size?

Sure no problem! Heres a picture of the ships WIP exterior:

Dear starmade users following the progress on this colony ship:

A recent glitch has started occuring while working on floor six of the ship.
The server seems to fail to auto-save and resets any and all work that i have gotten done
This has happened TWICE in the span of one day The first time it reset the amount of work i had completed on floor 6 to zero
the second time it removed all the work i had gotten done (floor six only had 4 un detailed rooms before the reset)

I'm considering switching servers if there are any recommendations please either PM me or reply to this comment.

This is of course, happening on Trace. I've been scouring the logs looking for anything in particular that may lead to why this is happening. Haven't found anything yet.... Based on the bug tracker and this thread, the issue is not isolated to my server and is not resolved. The bug itself has been occurring for much longer than it has been reported for. I recall experiencing this a few months ago on a different server with a planet I was working on. This is quite worrisome and has caused me to reevaluate whether or not I would like to continue running Trace.... as well as build anything in Starmade....

The one thing I can recommend for Alex and everyone: Save your ships to local, frequently!! (IMO this should be everyone's regular process when playing on any MP server, including Trace) This may be the only way to ensure that you don't lose any work you put into your ships.

Jimmy, i am glad to report it is not every server that is effected, i have played on 4 servers recently and on 2 of these have the issue (trace and NASS i think) aslong as our fellow players fillout bug reports we might be able to get this issue solved, in the mean time ilol take a look at SATURNs logs and see if i can find anything of use.

Let's get this thread back on topic for now... Alex, your ship is incredible. I commend you for your ambition to undertake such a grand idea for this ship. I'm eagerly anticipating its completion and can't wait to hopefully have NPC's "living" on this ship.. . Wouldn't that just be awesome? I certainly hope that you don't experience any more rollbacks and/or corruption, that's for sure. Good luck and keep it up my friend.

 

[Equilibrium21]

I'm guessing this will be full of life with NPCs when it's done, right?

 

[AAlexandrosTGreat]

Yea definitely

 

[AAlexandrosTGreat]

Well it's sure been awhile followers of the DWV colony ship, And i would like to finally announce after weeks of delays:
The completion of floor 6. Picture:

This floor was a pain to finish, BUT its finally done so thats all that matters.

 

[ltmauve]

Wowwww.... that's a lot of rooms.

P.S. You know how you have conduits that are running front back and don't look good because the texture isn't smooth? You can rotate the decorative blocks, and the textures on the top and bottom will rotate.

 

[AAlexandrosTGreat]

Sorry, It was late i was tired i'll make sure to fix that before floor i release the ship.

P.S thanks for pointing that out :D

 

[AAlexandrosTGreat]

Heyo starmadians, another floor of the DWV colony ship has been completed with major assistance from ArgoContar.
Here are the pictures, enjoy!

Jesus, this is going to be big- it's good with that hill, you miss a level :p I think you should make that some maintenance looking bit- the only thing I can compare the scale to is the "culture" from Iain M Banks' novels, their General systems vehicles are 20 km long, orbitals, like halo rings, one. Five mill across;
Your effort is measly!
I kid, it's grand,and can't wait to see it done!

 

[psteiner]

You put as much effort as I put into a corvette into one level. That's dedication.
