BrotherLazarus Firstly, welcome to Drone R&D we have cake over by keptick 's corner and the punch bowl is by mine. Please remember to leave donations so Thalanor can finally build a drone and stop making us look bad with his superb logic devices. My comments as follows in Red. Well it's more...

Two more attachments to present today. First up is the, Mortar The mortar is designed for planetary bombardment as well as medium ranged combat. It offers a twin rocket turret complete with explosive side effect. Note: I may change the rockets to lock on missiles down the road. Currently...

Updates: The Drop Bunker I Built an armored Bunker for the Cricket. It turned out in the end that building ground AI ships is simply not a wise choice. After spawning several waves of enemies on the ground most ships ended up shooting either into space or digging a hole into the core. So I...

Alright, the day has started off a bit rough but so far so good. Posting this from my phone cause internet is being annoying... again. The docking port is fully functional and even opens and closes when modules are attached. It's not 100 percent idiot proof but about 98 or so. only way to break...

A few hours later and I have another attachment and a few more in the works as well. Seems my cricket design is quite adaptable to these and it fits a large number of roles both on and off the battlefield. The Launch Pad Cricket Attachment This design was made in anticipation of the Fauna...

two new things to show today, first is a new version of the flea, and the second is a new attachment for the Cricket. Scrap Flea Seeing a pressing urge for a low altitude harvesting ship, our engineers took an old phaser flea that was lying around and flossed it's ai. We then stripped the...

Name of the Faction is LSD. We(I) own the Nano-Yard, you're a bit late to the party ;)

So, after trolling about looking for inspiration I decided it was high time i make a civil ship. After alot of scumming through the community content I got the idea for a dropship. I don't make a lot of planet-side ships and that's probably cause gravity sucks. Not to mention there's almost no...

Working on the Ocean some more today, progress is slow but steady. I find it very difficult to find inspiration for large sections of the ship. Smaller pieces come naturally but the large bits remain rather.... bland. Small bits i've worked on so far... These are the "fins", they don't...

Current Project: Transforming battleship hull. Almost done with the outline, needs a lot of details though.

Was sitting here thinking about the Ocean and came up with an idea...

1. make a flat panel or wall. 2. add one layer of blocks on top of that(or behind it) in whatever shape you want. Try squares, then rounding the edges. 3. change the shape till it looks cool. 4. add some different kinds of blocks 5.change the colors up a bit! practice makes perfect...

my design principle is pretty simple. start small and get bigger. i use mini versions to form simple shapes and make a profile of my ship. with the mini for inspiration i can build a larger scale version. after that though, all bets are off as i start gluing shapes on that ive used on other...

I imagine it had something to do with the way blueprints are saved. Converting them over to a new filetype would probably have been disastrous for many users. By making an entirely new filetype they basically allowed people to build ships in both ways without screwing up nearly as much... like...

I did a bit more testing myself, it seems like it's just really nasty lag caused by completely removing every block on the ship and then replacing them all. It fuggles with the logic circuits and rail docks when it does that, after a while though it smooths out.. a little. Presumably a better...

Right now the repair feature is a bit funky, sometimes it doesn't actually replace lost drones. Instead it places the blocks but permanently locks them into the ship. =/ Dunno whats goin on but it sort of breaks any and all attempts to replace lost drones right now. Then again these attempts...

Another month, another new launch idea for drones. Seems they are endless as the sea... This one rotates and then fires off a single drone one a time. Why one at a time? for lag purposes mostly. As launching 250 drones may not be quite so server friendly this particular magazine will release...

The Ocean Every fleet needs a heavy hitter, and up till now that has been the LSD Plateau design. Unfortunately it's not big enough. So after many Irish Cappuccinos and a few innings of frog baseball, we decided to make something BIG. Hence the Ocean was conceived. A Battleship of...

Over a month now and a ton has happened. Lost internet, got internet back, got a new isp, and came up with a half dozen or so new things... Lets get started then. To answer epicfacethe3rd; Having weapons in the deployable panels hasn't worked out quite so well. They frequently misfire and end...

Sgtwisky be sure to share some photos with your results(of your drones especially! :D), gifs if possible. I'm interested to know how well it works... although I have a sneaking suspicion it may not be as effective in the long haul money wise. I'm just thinking it's an extra expensive computer...
