      Random fun challenge: let's build a fleet :D

      Looking good! (y) I like how bulky but still rounded-on-the-edges it is. It's also nice how those docked wings fit so seamlessly... What's the fictional explanation of having foldable wings on it, though? I'm kind of a weapons noob, but I recall reading something like separate entities with...

      Random fun challenge: let's build a fleet :D

      Thanks, klawxx, I'm glad you like it. And yeah, I tend to add "nuclear" before "reactor", but I wouldn't say that it's a touch of retroness, because if it ain't nuclear, than it would have to be chemical... And I don't think chemical reactors of any kind would suffice for massive spaceships that...

      Random fun challenge: let's build a fleet :D

      Ok, I'm done with mine... Finished after two weeks of work on the ship itself, then I've put some effort into making some promo imagery. Had fun with building the ship itself, and I'm kinda pleased with these pictures/GIF too... Even though I'm sure the systems engineering in this ship isn't...

      LOBSTER-CLASS FRIGATE v1.2

      Cyberspace Shipyards proudly presents its latest frigate-sized spaceship. A few noteworthy features: A funky hull of standard-tier alloy with several extra armor plates overlapping the main body Two USD airlocks with docked doors and "working" pressure gauges 2.5 thrust-mass ratio + a speed...

      Quality of Life Improvements that really should be in the next update.

      Very much agreed... It would be a shame not to fix the issues you brought up, at some stage. That lighting bug is actually more serious than simply allowing sunlight to pass through vanish-able, non-transparent blocks. It goes through anything; the key is the dimensions of enclosed...

      Random fun challenge: let's build a fleet :D

      I downloaded it and checked it out in-game. I agree with the detailed feedback left by klawxx in the reviews at its Community Content page. As a bottom line, I think the main strength of this ship is its hull, which really is of an interesting design... But regarding the majority of other...

      I didn't experience issues like that, even with much larger stuff, ever since I started using a faster PC with higher game settings. And it's not *that* fast of a PC either. Assumably, the problems will go away for others too, in case of similar changes in machine/settings.

      Probe Four: An RP Mini-Series

      Congrats for the great work! There's some really nice cinematography and editing in those videos. I also like the audio editing, the employment of a good text-to-speech application, and the eloquent narration. I guess one should be more familiar with the faction and its members that were...

      Random fun challenge: let's build a fleet :D

      Sure, why not... It's certainly a superb design and you managed to translate it very nicely/cleanly into StarMade's blocky language (y) Once the ships shown on this thread will all get finished and either published in the Community Content section, or sent to me in a private message, I will...

      Random fun challenge: let's build a fleet :D

      I'm sure it will turn out good-looking, however you choose to color it. And really, it's not like there are any strict rules here. Regarding the last stage I shown my ship in, I would say that it's mostly white, with the light grey standard armor being only the second most dominant material of...

      Random fun challenge: let's build a fleet :D

      Or like a spear head... It looks fantastic IMO (y) I always like when slopes of non-45-degree angles are extended on a greater distance, producing uniformly liny surfaces, like in the case of the main body of this ship of your's. I assume that you know how to use the Remove/Replace filter...

      Engine Porn

      Something seems to have changed, in one of this years updates, in how the illuminating effect of glowing blocks of different color combine to give a hue to surrounding blocks... I have no idea what Kupu changed, but stuff like that are so much smoother since. The "trick" in the example above is...

      Random fun challenge: let's build a fleet :D

      Glad that you joined, Excelsior! - The ship's looking good so far. It has a descend form, and it's built cleanly. I like the minimal asymmetry you achieved with the three, instead of four, identical weapon barrels. The logic wings you mentioned should bring it to the next level if made well...

      Notice that subtle redness on the inner surface of the nozzles of those otherwise blue-glowing engines? ...It's magic :rolleyes: If you guys want to see/know more about this ship and related stuff, come over to our thread, we're trying to put together a fleet of some sorts, and it wouldn't hurt...

      Random fun challenge: let's build a fleet :D

      Regarding the first ship you have shown, you wrote that it's a very early work-in-progress, and I have to agree that it seems so ;) In its current form, it's too basic structurally, and too funky color-wise. But I ain't one to not see potential in any creative effort, so I wish you fun with...

      Random fun challenge: let's build a fleet :D

      That second ship has an interesting shape, I imagine it could look very nice after a smooth-out with wedges, tetras and heptas. But the main plan with this thread would be to see if we can build a few new ships, following the rules highlighted in the first post, and then put them together in a...

      Random fun challenge: let's build a fleet :D

      Progress update! :D I almost have a closed hull with this one... Still have to make the engines, and then some micro-detailing, then turrets, then on to the interior. I think I'll call this "The Lobster Frigate" or "Lobster-class laser frigate", because the armor plating kinda reminds me of...

      Random fun challenge: let's build a fleet :D

      Ah, no problem, it could look like a carton of milk, and still be nice, if it has some originality to it and you had fun building it ;) No restriction on systems, weapons, turrets, interior, or anything - we'll just have the building criteria at a bare minimum to give free way to creativity...

      Random fun challenge: let's build a fleet :D

      Days are getting darker and colder, we have ourselves more indoors free-time boredom that better be killed with something creative, and we recently learned that all that is to be expected from the next few months of updates of our favorite videogame (StarMade!?), is the undoing/fixing of broken...

      I wasn't familiar before with the ship this is based on, but that's some beautiful work right there! (y)
