Talk all you like about snazzy fleet dynamics and advanced off line controls. If I can send a mining ship to mine all the local asteroids and get two escort frigates to fly alongside me when I'm zipping about the universe, I will marry the entire dev team.

I must convince the people at Schema to allow two 'wedge' pieces to be able to cohabit the same square, so you can make wedges flush with each other rather than leaving gaps. :) Mystery it's great to see the SM community continuing to expand, stay tuned and keep flying. Remember, they can't...

Well, just cos I haven't posted for two weeks, doesn't mean I wasn't playing. Here are a couple of engine close ups for the Grey Star II. In other news, I have recovered a fighter from the Admin's fleet, and started repairing it, built a cargo vessel called the Pouch, and the warship is now a...

Well, I'm glad someone in the suggestions thread pointed someone else at this thread so I could read it. Fan-fragging-tastic! Only suggestion for the team is to minimise the learning curve by choosing a sensible order for features and then adding them piecemeal, giving us slowpokes a time to...

I can post some close ups if you want any. I had an amusing mission today. It amused me because we were fighting the 'big bad' empire that the server owner had cooked up for us. Three of their ships (Interceptor, Bomber and Corvette) were amongst ships I'd only seen as radar blips from 24km...

Got to spend some time with other members on the server, on a joint operation... marred by my computer being unable to cope with the scale of the battle and kicking me out during the whole event.. But I got back eventually, and met up with two other, much prettier battleships. At least they like...

Merry Christmas everyone...

Parked alongside somebody else's ship.. On the plus side, as they'd gone for a cylindrical build too we thought ours looked like they could exist in the same galaxy. On the not so plus side I think his looks much prettier! In the final phases of my external build now, with the middle set of...

You're very kind. I had wanted to do eight solar panels, but those were pesky as they were, and I wasn't going to be able to angle the collectors properly... ho hum.

... Solar panels. Which took a while to not be -complete- tosh... (Yes, I'm still doing side by side comparisons of long cylindrical objects. My psycho-analyst is having a field day!) Also started on the outer engines, which was made more taxing by the fact I had some slabs and no mirrored...

This morning, I was delighted to find the neighbouring sector had 4 trade stations, count em, FOUR.. A little inside look, following the Colonel's lead in building a shell. Then, I got a little worried about what psychologists might say about the design of this ship, especially with all the...

Replacing the slightly mean looking salvager with a new salvager, which strips asteroids much quicker than the previous one did. :)

As you've been so good to comment on my thread, thought I'd take a look at yours.. Have to say, your ship is pretty damned awesome.

It probably doesn't help that I then try and add some wedges so I can bevel the edges of the drums off. Progress has been slow today. There is much meandering between three shops and a trading station very time I think of a new brick to add in. Really ought to put weapons or mega shields on, so...

Indeedles. Going to log on shortly and add a much larger salvage array at the front, if I can make one a bit more... circular... :)

Been out the last couple of nights, but decided, in typical me style, that the ship wasn't cutting the mustard... Various thoughts about adding guns and some frustration over the speed at which she mined meant I wanted to increase the size. Not massive, but somewhat... The bit being built...

I don't remember being 20... *sigh* In the mean time... BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BUUUUURRRGH....

You might be too young... That is Babylon 4. Now I'm feeling old.

To be honest, the look I wanted to go for originally, I've made this too small for. When I started this, I was thinking of a certain old friend...

I was thinking at work today how nothing I design is ever sleek and sexy. Same at work! I do tend to design things to last, though to be fair, this ship does not yet have much in the way of defence!
