      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      Well there's no chance I'm putting regular hull on the outer layers, but if the price becomes impossible to buy I'll just have to replace some of the inner decorative hull blocks with regular ones. Have to say though it'll be a job just breaking through this mammoth's shields, 5 mill capacity...

      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      Few interesting stats so far for my WIP hiveship; Mass: 57.2k Shields: 4.9 million Power Storage: 10.3 million (mostly due to me using tanks as decorative blocks) Power Regen: 1.7 million e/sec Current Price: 235 million credits I'm slightly worried about the price, since my structure is...

      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      Some people just like to try and push their own personal opinions onto the world as a whole, probably a Jehovah's Witness IRL. ^^ In all seriousness though, I find it highly amusing that people take time out of their day just to come in and tell me they don't like what I'm doing. Okay, good for...

      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      Yeah I didn't really get what you meant, trying to picture that in my head and it's not working. xD Anyway, the wire-frame power cube constructs are not intended to be efficient power generators, I just sort of chose a random block to be the frame I can fit stuff inside and it happened to be...

      Some mechanics questions from a newbie.

      Another question - when you save a blueprint ship with docked turrets, you automatically buy the turrets when buying that blueprint as well, would the same happen if I docked fighters in my ships hangar and saved it?

      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      A sneak little peak into the colossal size of my next Borg construct, as a point of reference, the custom built core at it's center is 55m^3, and the thin power cube wire-frame for the outer hull itself generates ~300,000 e/sec. The best part? This is not even close to the biggest vessels I have...

      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      Sounds perfect, can't call myself elite considering I've been playing like 2 weeks and am terrible at ship aesthetics. xD Hope the weapons update is soon though, gonna have to retrofit my ships to have the more traditional trek beams. :)

      Sounds cool, but what is the activity like on the server? And when is the reset scheduled? :)

      Borg Vortex Class MK I

      Based on the Borg Sphere design, the Vortex Class is my first vessel to not incorporate a pre-built core. It is part of the SSRV type (turned out a little larger than I'd originally envisioned) and serves to perform the role of Electronic Warfare and Combat Logistics for my Borg fleet. The...

      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      Hey guys, couple of updates to mention. First of all the Borg Sphere design is finished for now (needs some aesthetic brush ups, but will leave that for a later date, more important work to be done!) and is being released under the named "Vortex Class". It is a modifiable ship with enough...

      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      SO excited after watching the weapons demonstrations for next patch, finally be able to have some epic beam weapons for trek universe ships.. and fast torpedoes!

      That was an awesome video man, poor Klingons. xD Should have waited for my Invasion class cube...

      That was an awesome video man, poor Klingons. xD Should have waited for my Invasion class cube instead though, more firepower! :P And rear firing turrets, who doesn't like rear firing turrets.

      Dyson Spheres..

      Pretty much said everything that needs to be said right there, sometimes people forget that science fiction is about where your imagination can take you.

      Dyson Spheres..

      Incap I love how your arguments are defeated with scientific fact and then you come back, completely ignoring it (or blatantly denying what you said) and then start talking about such a system's practicality, instead of it's impossibility. Brilliant. A star is a tangible object as well as a...

      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      Indeed - though my original concept for the sphere was a pipey outer structure fanning down from the North and South poles and meeting at each with some of the ships internal structure visible between the gaps, but even that is really difficult to construct over a voxel sphere and actually look...

      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      Been having some problems with the Borg Sphere designs, which is why it's not done yet. I finished the actual ship like 3 hours after I posted that image, it's the hull that's giving me a headache. Trying to paint a sharp looking design over a surface where no two blocks are ever on the same...

      Dyson Spheres..

      Are there no moderators in this forum? I swear, every thread this guy enters he seems to bring along a tidal wave of negative attitude - but this is just blatant being a jerk and flaming.

      Dyson Spheres..

      That's why we call it science fiction, the idea of building space ships that can cross the inter-stellar void in reasonable amount of time is also nothing more than a distant pipe dream to us - and yet.. There have been numerous sci-fi universes where it's denizens have actually havested solar...

      Was pretty clear we were actually talking about the stellar material, not the energy. ^^

      Dyson Spheres..

      Then introduce a special type of shielding blocks that cost a lot, give you high resistance (not immunity) to star's radiation, and allow you to get close enough to mine the star for it's solar material. Needs to happen! :O
