I feel that there should be more industrial and civilian installations in the game. To this end I have directed the journal Dry Empire towards a focus on this... continuing from the Mining Outpost production, the next most logical step is a Processing Plant. Sample pic below: Not-yet...

Thanks aceface! It's a very small station to use as a base, but it's a good seed to start a station from and then add bits and pieces over time. I will, thank you! I just can't stop playing this awesome game... I can't wait until the AI is improved so things like orders to units can be given...

Not sure if this goes into "shipyard" exactly, but there's no other better fit. I have created my first purpose-built mining outpost and released it as a downloadable sment. It features a single ribbed docking hangar large enough to fit SVG Excavator in it, a 3 person habitation facility...

You make a good point, but not a hard thing to get around. For example you could have your "teleport" points being illuminated by blue or green light or something that makes it very easy to differentiate them from your turret and shuttle docking views, so as you can rapidly cycle through them...

You already have an ingame in ship teleport system. Create a teleporter unit of some sort and dock it wherever in your ship you want to teleport to. Get as creative as you like or just have a simple single ship core. Enter one core and just use arrow keys to get about and un enter at your...

I really like your first cinematic video effort. Good work all round really. o_O

Found it! That's great thanks so much guys!

Thanks that's useful, but not quite what I meant. Another example might be for example that when you're entering a jump gate you can activate that (using a docking beam as you say, for example) and it makes the gate at the OTHER END of the jump start flashing lights so that other ships are...

I figured as much and went looking for these files but couldn't find them. Don't spose you know the exact location or name of the station, shop, and vessel files do you?

It would be nice if a monitor could be slaved to a camera and display what it sees. Imagine the cockpit designs or station security room implications. .. A logical next step might be if you could jump into the monitor to see out that camera fullscreen as a shortcut that's be great too.

I would like to suggest a couple of things; 1) Labeled cameras 2) Remote Activation block 1) Labeled Camera would allow a builder to enter block and assign a name or say 20 characters of data to the camera. When operating the vessel the player can enter the camera as they can at the moment...

Very nice designs. Nothing wrong with lots of grey in my opinion... Sometimes ships can be a bit TOO colorful and bright to look realistic. As one poster above said, color bands or line work plus greeble looks better than heaps of blue or green or white and lots of colored lit areas. Browse a...

I like the cold metal industrial feel of your design. Very nice.

More pictures requir'd. That is all.

Very interested to see the catapult runways finished.

It's nice. An interesting blend of combat and salvage. Any RP interior or all filled with systems for performance?

Wow. You have some nice builds.

Thanks guys! They serve no military role, but if you like to role play then they're a good bit of kit to scatter around a work site or station as eye candy. Also they can be fitted with actual functional turrets (salvagers or astro-techs, for example) which could be useful in game play.

In Dry Empire Starmade I intend to build things much larger than FRG Thor and SVG Excavator, and even Dry Station... So rather than go it alone, or entrust building to my captives or hired help, I have created a completely obedient, fully autonomous work force - the WDU (Work Drone Utility)...

Thor is launched! Finally completed her. She is outfitted with a compliment of 1x main rocket launcher, 2x dual lock-on wing-mounted missile launchers, and 4x wing-mounted anti-missile micro-turrets. Her shields are a satisfying 394k reserve (+1600 s/sec) and her energy reserves are 623.6k...
