About how the missile system tries to lock on the target you're currently looking at (and not always the one you targeted), it works against someone using a radar jammer, but if you are required to target your enemy, then lock it, it would also mean that lockOn missiles are inefficient against...

About colors... I had a small idea about this. Since we don't need all colors, the color bits would be simply multipliers of the above color panel, linked by Waffulmann. We have up to 256^3 colors. Storing coordinates takes less space than storing 3 colors, thus gaining some extra space...

I'm sure sure some peeps would be interested in picking the last Minmatar stargate, keep only half of it, and make into a space station (while scaling it to 6-7%). That'd be one badass looking space station :3

Competition? A reason behind building ships? Something to achieve? Ladders? Contests? A campaign? The pride of defeating an incredibly powerful NPC ship? Sectors to conquer? Anything to unlock in-game, following some actions? PvP content? New features? Something else? Well, for Minecraft, it...

Well, could be nice to add something else than Isanths to the default Ships. I guess freighters (for the trade guild) and a cruiser/corvette for the pirates (with various weapons, just like the current Isanths). And stations, because I'm tired of those trading guild giant space ***** ! *cough...

This is the SF Mara from the game Freespace 2, on a non-realistic scale, since the original one is supposed to be 17.8m long. The official shipyard thread is here, which comes with more images :) Take note that, given the size of this ship, it doesn't handle AT ALL like a fighter unless you...

That's some nice ship you got here :3 Concerning logic blocks, you should chech this thread. There are quite a lot of fancy things.

Updated, as of 03.09.2014: - Added wings - Added plating - Added interior - Added systems - Added blueprint link - Updated pics - Ate a whole bunch of cookies Be advised: do NOT try to land on a planet. Seriously, that's one big fighter, it will not crash your game, but will certainly lag the...

Tip: If you're in single player, and want to increase difficulty a bit, you can, as admin, define which ships are usable by pirates in Catalog > Admin > [select a ship] > permissions > EnemyUsable (Checked) That's a fancy way to test your ships and turrets :3

@MrTargareyan wins :3 "All Hail Britannia" is used commonly in Code Geass, as Great Britain, renamed Britannia, tries to take over the world. So... cookie.... :3

Trying to test what the AI is capable of, I created a small turret for my faction base; equipped with dual lockOn missiles. I then spawned a few NPCs, using the /initiate_wave command. Well, few seconds after the command, the server froze. I had the "Server doesn't answer" warning for like 2...

I'll pick my own (blocky and horrible) station. This station has 14 turret slots. Each turret has 6 AMC barrels, each barrel fires 2 projectiles per second, and all have punch-through, against a target with a very small hull at the front. In fact, only 10 turrets can fire at the same target...

Well, the frontal beams of said juggernaut are supposed to have a range of 7.400 meters. For a 6km long ship, that's reasonable. I think. Since I'm experiencing very large sectors, I noticed you can spot enemy ships from very far away (40km). Thus, there's no complete insta-kill without knowing...

Huh. Last time I tried coding and took a break, a cat wrote "dSDOFdf,kdsnfj dsfdf". Not that I doubt their programming skills or anything, but... :3 I think MrFurb said it all. That's still an alpha state, why, yes, it's already VERY good for an alpha, but I can't possibly say it's finished...

Gotta love the lighting effects on the side :3 Keep it up! :D

I planned on doing a 6km long ship, with frontal beams. Well, I abandonned the project (for now), but the range between the 4 frontal beams would be such that even a target right in the middle couldn't be hit (unless I have a slave beam). I don't see the point of beams, I mean, you have instant...

Couldn't find one, yet extreeeeeemely important :p Lots of people want to make building with specific angles, well, you wanted it, you gonna get it ! Small video (not from me) with full explanation: For those who can't/are too lazy for a video, a screenshot: From LEFT to RIGHT (in...

Put simply, when it says your speed is 200 kilometers per hour, it's in fact 200 meters per second.

I made a little test to check whether the speed displayed is... well, the real one. Basically, how much time does it take to run the length of a 6km ship, considering the server speed is 225km/h. In theory, 6km is 6.000 meters (no, I must be joking?! o_O), and 225km/h is 225 / 3.6 m/s, or 62.5...

Well, when there's money into play... By the way, the Oculus Rift isn't the only VR helm/glasses/whatever in the market. Just to cite a few : InfinitEye, HMZ-T2, ST1080. Linkage : http://vrwiki.wikispaces.com/InfinitEye+V2 Centered around the InfinitEye, more than the others, but that's the...
