A few new photos today. I ended up shrinking the side sponsons down so they're a little less obtuse. Previously they took up about 99% of the vertical travel when you looked at a side profile. Now it's down to about 85% which feels a little more proportionate. They still have a decent range of...

Did some more work on the new ship tonight. More and more I feel this block is going to be my replacement for the old plateau. It's so very blocky though, I'm going to have to add bits and bobs to make it feel a little more organic and less assembly line. Otherwise photos will be incoming...

Update: Wireless buttons are now on the elevator! While by no means a gorgeous addition. These buttons allow you to access any of the floors with a single push! No more waiting or bouncing between floors, and the logic of it all has been reduced by almost 60%! In total there are now only 5...

So I've been busy the last few hours and have started filling in some of the internals. Also built some thrusters on the bottom of the ship. Those aren't shown here though... I'm toying with the idea of having a floor selection panel inside the elevator, it would be four wireless blocks...

I call this getting back into the Groove... get it? groove? ehem... so the ship as you can see is coming along nicely. I decided on something that felt almost tron-like. Very digital in a sense. The main guns on the bottom replace two of the turrets I was planning to place there. The turrets...

Some pics today mostly, the last post was off my phone and I did not have access to the photos as I do now. So here we go! I have yet to name my newest vessel although it's coming along nicely so far. I'm starting inside -> outside, this gives me a chance to work on some nicer interior...

So, new updates, new blocks, new colors. Alot of cool stuff has been added and as im playing around with it all a few things are happening. I have built a new hangar deck that will hopefully be expanded into my newest cruiser. It holds currently 2 Kabuto Rho drones. The Kabutos have had a power...

solarapple as well anyone else reading that may be interested... @? #1 The easiest way to start is by having a drone to work with. Once you've got the drone, figure out which way you want it to face when docked. Then you can build a rack. For this example I'll use one of my Fleas.. Once you...

A basic inhibitor mine These guys are easily mass produced and simple to drop and activate. On average you'd only need maybe 3 - 4 of them to completely lock down an area. KingofCalamity Rather than go with area trigger mines which are rather unreliable. I went with mines that are always...

Don't use the jump inhibitors on drones, they eat up 20k energy /second. It's way too costly for drones, you might want to try adding some sprinkles to those girl scouts in the form of inhibitor mines. No AI means it won't get shot up and can be recovered whenever your done fairly easily. I'm...

Quick update: Building the turrets right now that will go on both the Canyon, and also my Anti-Drone Cruiser. They use an odd combination of Missile - Punch through, as in testing I have noticed a substantially greater damage output in the range of about 30% more as opposed to explosive...

Just pointing out: A game is literally a collection of artificial limitations imposed for the sake of fun. Why build 10 smaller ones vs 1 big one? Cause the 10 smaller ships will vastly overpower the one larger one. It literally has nothing to do with speed in the current iteration. It's 10x...

Don't be so down, we still don't have cookie packages. I mean oreos do come in small boxes no? In addition to that we also don't have girl scouts yet. Those delicious frosted sugar cookies are still somewhere out there! Now go forth and craft an empire of cookies based on small children...

AtraUnam It will fire both weapons until it reaches the maximum possible range, at which point it will usually fire only the long range type. This is why in my second video I mentioned that you should stick to one range for your weapons on drones. That said, it's usually best to give drones one...

assuming you can even get that drone to teleport in the first place. im nowhere near fast enough to enter a core in the .35 sec it takes me to warp. o.o

So having experimented with the new transporters and activation gates, I habe come to the following conclusions; Transporters can teleport drones. Huge let down, but I suppose it'd be too much to ask for a small astronaut sized drone to board other ships. Activation loops dont trigger in...

with black armor on top and bottom we shall dub these... Oreos. With a creamy middle surrounded by crunchy armor plating. Let it be so #1!

\ Because this is still a relevant topic, albeit one which people are less likely to discuss with shiny new toys floating about. That said it is a pretty old subject, and over the course of numerous updates has been somewhat slightly alleviated. Although not quite as much as it should be. I...

I could actually see myself building a smallish fighter/bomber with a tiny walkable interior. Once the quarters and duty stations are setup I'd use these for disposable npcs with names like Hort Wankelberry, or Major Asprane

Logic bobbies would be too cool. We need these, but this is why they'll never happen...
