No, and that's brilliant! Giving it a try now. I do still believe rubber blocks would solve many small annoyances, smoothing the seams between structures.

At the Right now I'm trying to set up a simple hinged door with rotator blocks. It's one of those hatches that rotates down to become a ramp, or up to become a wall. But my ramp can't rotate because its rotation is bound by the deck blocks adjacent to the axis of rotation. I CAN work around...

Apart from the possibility that the coders shouldn't code physics while substituting caffeine for sleep... the trouble I see here is that real-world physics and playability are in conflict. We want even our large ships to be able to turn in a reasonable period so that we can maneuver in...

I'd seen the perennial bubble-shield threads, but this seemed just enough off that concept that it might fly. I'd thought about maybe having "healthy" VFFs be invisible, then maybe flash visible for a moment as they are damaged.... Or maybe the only way to tell that there is a VFF in...

I'm imagining a controller/enhancer style system that actually builds simple virtual structures out of force-field blocks. The controllers would be toggled from logic or the flight menu. The controllers can be set to project a plane, partial cylinder or partial sphere. The dimensions of the...

You may be over-thinking this a bit... You can produce a cheap-and-cheesy effect that will register to the brain as reflectivity without actually fiddling around with specularity and ray-tracing. Create a tesselating smoothed noise texture. Apply that texture as an intensity mask against the...

Not that the new rail system isn't already --Freaking awesome!-- but the current work inspires me to wonder what minor additions could push it to the next level. 1. Give the new momentary switch activator block a rotatable texture such that any face could represent movement in 3 dimensions...

Ship: Archer Class Narrative Universe: Star Trek Faction: United Federation of Planets Era: Early TOS Role: Light Scout The Archer-class was a type of Federation Starfleet scout vessel in service at least in the 2260s. Archer-class ships were designed to go "very far, very fast, and not be...

Beautiful work.

I't's possible, and with a bit of practice, not even terribly painful to do it manually now that we have copy/paste and resizable selection areas.

General dimensions: 75x41x41 The Ceres class is my first major project not drawing on an existing design. She will be the first of several based on the same general design principles: Drive ring (Alcubierre/ Ion induction drive) Seamless exterior docking discreet engineering systems triaxial...

Consumables make an economy work. If you don't need anything why not just build a pretty ship, find a pretty planet and settle into an orbit of eternal contentment? How much and what consumables you need can add a lot of challenge and depth to the game. So can how you gather, transport...

I like the idea of hyperspace as an analog to the nether from Minecraft. And I like ALL the suggestions above. I can see hyperspace as having a direct correspondence to the main space, but maybe (like the nether) having movement there correspond to 8x movement in the main universe. My...

Oh, If I updated the wrong one, that will be really annoying.

D'oh! Here's the correct link! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3PR3_NSinHLMm9mdTBmc1g3VjA/view?usp=sharing

Here's the ship back with a smoothed and updated hull. I left all of your work intact. Enjoy! https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3PR3_NSinHLaV9HZWxfSlVZdVU&authuser=0
