For what its worth, I didn't communicate directly with him and the communication I had was both very friendly and the individual was very generous with the detail of their response, so I'm not holding anything against David Weber and look forward to the new book in November. I think Weber and...

Unfortunately got some bad news here, though it has a few bits of a silver lining. I've been told that while its totally fine to work on honorverse ships for myself and share screenshots, sharing the blueprints would get me a cease and desist. It was very kindly phrased, but still sucks. (A...

Regarding vertical ships: If we ever get the ability to rotate ship cores I'll probably make a version of this rotated to have the port or starboard be forward and with the weapons in manual control, could be hilarious. Star Knight: I've done a bit of work on the Star Knight interior passages...

I really like this idea and have a couple passages set up like this above (1.5m width and 2m height). The best part is it only uses 8 blocks of space to move 1 meter forward - less if you have the floor and/or ceiling be useful blocks. The one thing that concerns me about it is whether or not...

Intrepid was WWII - Vietnam. Growler was a nuclear missile (not power) submarine used during the very beginning of the Cold War. Eh, whether you go subsurface or surface for your design inspiration really depends on which design philosophy you think will prevail for warships inspace. Generally...

I just visited the Intrepid and the Growler in NYC and those passages... well in the Growler walking one abreast could be challenging in some parts of the sub. But those are rather old so perhaps things have changed I'll try to take a look for some modern ship and sub pictures with decently easy...

Space is an Ocean Trope? More like Space is an 18th century ocean complete with sails and cannons! Seriously, the source material is Horatio Hornblower in space. Which is awesome. Here is a 3 minute YouTube video flyby of the ship and the docking bay (links to lots of pictures in the video...

In the middle of a reread of the Honor Harrington books and decided to build some of the ships in StarMade. Starting with the Star Knight class heavy cruiser - rather than something more sensible like a destroyer. o_O Oh well. Anyway after a few weeks of progress I figured I'd make a thread here...

To a certain extent player/ship entities are linear as well. Fleets are changing that. But until controlling a fleet of three ships of a total of X blocks is just as easy as controlling a ship of X blocks, there is a push there to just build big, despite the many disadvantages. Everything Lecic...

I love the dangerous reactors, but I would still like them to be able to function as a docked reactor. If the explosion occurred briefly after getting hit, perhaps 5-30 seconds, the chain reaction explosive quality would mean that it would rapidly self destruct removing lag problems, which I...

Thanks all for the info. This is all going to be very helpful with getting a ship with primarily broadside armaments to work well. Which missile launcher setups have you found work best for this? I haven't tried any yet - but I've been concerned anything that needed to lock-on might have...

Thanks, you are right, it does work on enemy vessels. I tested by trying to fire on non-factioned selected ships - clearly not the right way to test it.

Is it currently possible to created a stationary/fixed turret? It looks like it used to be possible, but when I've attempted to do it it fails to fire. I tried to do this by attaching the barrel of a turret to a Rail Basic rather than a Rail Turret Axis. but it does not fire. I think the...

Thanks, good to know.

Creating these shells for folk to use is both awesome and a super generous use of your time. Way to go!

Specific situation: I am attempting to make a ship with beam broadside weapons and assumed I would need to have the beam computer controlling the beam blocks match the camera direction I was using when I controlled the beam. So for firing starboard facing beams, I placed a starboard facing...
