      The New Vecordean Fleetworks

      Just as a head's up, I'm slated to show up on Warsong's twitch tomorrow around 8 pm GMT. You'll get a chance to hear my warbling, grating, dissonant speaking voice (complete with suspiciously Austrian Irish accent)! We'll talk about my design philosophy and methods (toilets/ things to put...

      Update: Corporate dropped this off. Not sure what it's for. Looks a bit...familiar, though. I wonder what the Fleetworking abominations will do with it?

      Wow! That new weapon demo video is pretty snazzy and all those planned updates look useful. Especially the decorative blocks. So, here's the plan: The Dirge is finished. Once the new weapons come out, expect an update to the design. Also, YAY! Dirge is finished! You guys liked those...

      It is true. I did lose all of my ships, but tn44 kept them safe and secure in his Vault of Wonders. He let me look at them again, briefly, before trading in my kidneys for copies of them. Thanks, tn44!

      It is Bonding Day, a day where both Mister and Mistress Vec celebrate with fond remembrance our entering into a binding socio-economic contract for tax reasons and also love! We will resume normal fleetworking operations tomorrow or perhaps late, late tonight!

      The New Vecordean Fleetworks

      There is all the truth. Fortunately, we have thousands upon thousands upon thousands of design databases, each capable of rendering entire sectors of space inert and lifeless. Whole oceans of them. Watching. Waiting. Their mechanical minds instilled with the cold, calculating hatred for all...

      The New Vecordean Fleetworks

      So! Why don't I use tetras and pentas? Because they aren't quite...done...yet. When they are, I'll update the hull. On the plus side, I'm mostly done with the basic exterior stuff. The mid-hull is sealed and shaped correctly. The forward hull has been set back to its wedge-and-block-only...

      Light reflection on pentas/tetras/corners wonky

      As you can see here, I've got a few pentas and tetras on the nose of this fine, cheesy ship. The smaller tetra blocks reflect light seemingly normally. The larger Penta blocks do not, appearing much, much darker despite the facet being at the same angle as the facets of the tetra blocks above...

      Thanks, Furb. Any idea if that's going to ever get fixed? Also, I'm submitting a bug report related to it as the light reflection isn't the only issue here. And Dark_J: They are turned off. Shadows, mip-mapping, bloom, you name it. Pentas/Tetras look like butt.

      I'm not on a mac. I'm on a high end PC, with, like blast processing and an FX chip like in Starfox. There's no "Shaders" option in the advanced settings. Do you mean the "shadows" selector?

      The New Vecordean Fleetworks

      Pentas and Tetras folks! I suppose I could turn off all the graphics settings. That might get them to not look like a mess. The other side of the nose is even worst. The pentas there are glitched out entirely texture-wise.

      Fair enough! Did you have something you wanted to talk about?

      The New Vecordean Fleetworks

      Reply to what? I don't think I got any messages from you. :( Also: Penta and tetra blocks seem to reflect light in a really disruptive way and break the preview block in the advanced build mode. Any tips on how to fix this? If they remain as borked and ugly as the corner blocks were, I'll...

      The New Vecordean Fleetworks

      The plan, tentatively, is to do the contest entries next, as they are smaller vessels. I'm not entirely sure how I want to handle those just yet. I'd like to bring them up to the newer look, though. If you'd like, we can collaborate on your entry and see how that works out. Hit me up with...

      I didn't realize they had been added! I'll check them out and modify the design accordingly.

      The New Vecordean Fleetworks

      It's a nod to the old Dirge design, which had its larger side turrets numbered 1 and 2. If it isn't obvious, the stupider, pointier-looking ship parked next to the Series II Dirge is the most recent iteration of the original Series I Dirge. You can see both turrets in various shots and confirm...
