Thank you! (Axis names shown in image below...) The above image shows one module. The overall shipyard will have 5 of the modules down each side, with those rings at the top of the upper spotlight arm connecting to a flatter set of modules that will form the top of the shipyard...

Gday all, Another update of the Port Vandermier build. I've completed the spotlight arrays and the deep space scanner array, both fully functional. Next up will be the factory modules within this first shipyard module, as well as beginning the two neighboring modules that are docked to this. I...

Well that's a very nice turret and thank you very much but it's WAAAY too big for what I need thanks. Here are some more detailed pics of the container for you: There's a few things I need to fix with it before it's ready to release publicly, or I'd just attach the blueprint like you did...

Hi awl, Another build update. I included a few pics this time as well as the video. The Board is pleased with the progress of the build to date, and has recruited a beefed up security force which are due to arrive in a week to help round out Port Vandermier's currently rather pathetic...

Thank you yes I've used this method often, but in many cases I want the camera to be somewhere that a display block can't be placed to the left of it... out on the end of an antenna for example, or on the tip of the port wing... it would be so much simpler and nicer if you could simply name the...

That's no problem at all, but you might be under the impression this is a container sized container. It is 7 levels tall.... you could fit about 75 normal shipping containers in it.... twice that for cubic ones. You're welcome to use it of course - I'd be honoured, but it's probably too large...

Thank you DSM I made a typo (fixed now) for energy rating. Actually 125,253 e/sec (recharge rate for power) and 990 recharge rate for shields. Slow shield regeneration I know, but it is a civilian ship with zero combat capacity... shields are there mostly to protect ship from collisions and...

Thanks Heillos. Messis has a good jump system installed now - the power hits about 2% when the drive charges... Jump drives are new to me so I'm not sure how it rates but it takes 32 seconds to charge. I am far from wizard enough to do the systems you folks are talking about but I'm learning...

Hi all, Progress report on Port Vandermier build. CCV Messis has successfully docked and delivered two self contained engineering support modules (which are essentially giant shipping containers) containing both materials and equipment needed to continue to build. Corporate Intelligence...

Well I'm super stoked that we got wifi blocks... I knew they'd be useful and I'm looking forward to fully exploring their potential. Now where's mah camera labels!? >:/

I like these. The turret on that other one is pretty huge compared to the base. This sort of design would be nice on a platform style station also.

Flick of where it's at currently. I'm nearing completion of Messis, and will release the model and a final video once it's done. Comments welcome of course!

That's a great tip about the jump system thank you. I'll look into that pretty soon. I brought home the work computer and made a video just now - worked well. It's 1.5Gb so I will upload it about 20 hours from the time of this post... shows a bit about CCV Messis... I'm particularly proud of...

Thanks very much DSM. I always enjoy role playing a game, it adds another layer to it that makes it much more fun. I've been spending the last couple of afternoons after work working on Messis... in particular the aft docking area... I've made the rear blast doors open and close (my first ever...

Ithirahad that is looking nice, yes. I have been working on an engineering vessel and have decided to use default thruster blocks (mostly). I don't see that often so though I'd give it a crack... I like the way they bloom now with thrusters being engaged. Your thoughts?

Slight detour while I build a prop. This is CCV (cPho Corp Vessel) "Messis", an engineering and R&D vessel contracted by cPho Corporation as part of the Port Vandermier build. I will detail it more in a video once it has been completed.. All externals are done except for the aft central...

Check out my role-played Shipyard station build. https://starmadedock.net/threads/port-vandermier-progressive-shipyard-build.28241/

I like it. Asymmetrical stuff is always nice.
