A few suggestions (or speculations of what the devs might already be doing) regarding the new galaxy structure... Mostly just daydreaming aloud: Keep the solar systems being made up of a regular cubic grid of sectors, with the host star (or pair of host stars) residing in the center sector (to...

If a single central shield recharger's bubble doesn't cover a structure in its entirety, try increasing the shield recharger block count (sometimes a drastic increase is required, due to having been previously used to small amounts doing the job just fine, ie. from the times when shields didn't...

Indeed, it would be nice to have a comprehensive list (that would include all block types that were removed prior to the power update too). I'll edit the original post, but I could use some help in compiling the full list, because I joined the club only after the current rail system's...

PROGRESS UPDATE POST #40 Did some exceptionally fruitful building yesterday. I thought it would worth saying a few words about the methodology, because it's probably very rare for a fairly complex structure of 850 x 300 x 850 dimensions (and already 1.5 million blocks) to be put together in...

Presenting the FULGUR 320 personal space vehicle. "Fulgur" means lightning in latin, chosen because it's damn fast, while "320" refers to its mass, because it was a significant struggle to keep it below 321 mass, to keep the reactor from overloading when thrusting and jumpdrive charging at once...

That's a reasonable concern, given that we barely got any participants so far (probably mostly due to the current popularity level of the game/forums, instead of some shortcoming of the competition itself). But I think the continuity aspect of such a storyline-based competition is the most fun...

Honored to have won the approval of the voters (y) Thanks, I'm glad you liked the private suite I built, it was a fun little architectural challenge. Also very glad to see the story/competition taking its next step. I imagine building a ship will be the funnest challenge yet for most who wish...

I like it. It's of a nice, unusual overall shape. A wider-than-tall cylindrical reactor is something I don't think I seen before. The hazard stripes, the green glow, and the windows are nice touches. I'd change the basic armors to standard armor, and work some more on a few spots where cubic...

Forgot to mention that there's actually room for around 100 more power reactor blocks, besides the current 80, in that white sphere. And of course, if it has to be installed within smaller ships, the "turboelectric generator" part can be removed all together; it's just for the show.

Presenting the "Nucleus MSR-TEG-80": [/SPOILER] Download below (TEMPLATE of the reactor-generator itself, BLUEPRINT of the docked turbine rotor)

That's one helluva masterpiece! Looks like some good inspired work... Love those skulls and chains (y)

Very interesting interior architecture coming along in there! The distribution and connectivity of the different compartments was well thought out. Good choices in materials, colors, lighting, and micro-detailing. And I love this "let's see where things could fit well without having the walls...

That quadrupedal base looks fantastic! Interesting idea and well executed (y)

I MANAGED TO ATTACH THE STATION'S BLUEPRINT TO THIS POST:

Missed the end-date by a day, but here's my entry! (I'm making a new post for it, instead of editing my reserved post, to bump the thread) Since the size limit was 30^3, I figured I'll make a 29x29 base and see how many floors I can stack onto each other. With my standard 5m ceiling height...

Yes! I was thinking about this myself recently. Currently templates are placed like blocks (one of the corners of their bounding boxes are anchored on the first block face in line-of-sight), while they could as well be placed like how we set the "fill origin" with the Fill Tool (with the...

PROGRESS UPDATE POST #39 After 600 downloads of the original version, I finally updated my first serious shipyard station. It was about time, because the first time I promised that it will be refitted with new systems was at the 400 downloads mark. It has been for a long time, and still is...

Refitted to Systems 2.1 and substantially improved all around.

Tshara's "Zero-G race track" Maybe these aren't what were mentioned, but it's all good stuff, here they are for anyone interested.
