      1 : 1 Slave I (Boba Fett's ship)

      Jango came first. Boba is the son and had the color scheme of this build. As for size, this is actually pretty close, but it does feel just a bit small. When working in 1-meter blocks, it\'s hard to get just right, but I would scale up anyway. Going a bit bigger would allow for turrets to...

      Texture Travesty

      I would love to see how it looks on some other builds, but it\'s going to have to wait until I at least have all of the blocks retextured. I got a bit sidetracked playing with the GUI (with far too much time spent trying and failing to find the white box that goes over a selected item in your...

      Scrap Option for ships...

      Too exploitable, unfortunately. It would become far too easy for someone to just hijack a ship and tear it apart. There are already issues with Salvage weapons being rendered useless by people just chucking down a build block and going into build-mode. Being able to tear the whole ship down...

      No build mode while in combat

      Presumably, they want it so people can\'t replace missing blocks in combat, or salvage an entite ship in the middle of a battle. I\'d be fine to see those taken away, but people also use build mode for spacial awareness. If you take it out during combat, players need another way to look around...

      Texture Travesty

      I prefer smoother, simplified textures that go with the games inherent blockiness. I\'m sick of the grittiness of modern games. I like it better when my games have more character and less realism.

      Texture Travesty

      Right you were! I tend to do everything by eye when figuring out an initial design. A few tweaks and everything is right as rain. Until I\'m satisfied, the missles and decoration blocks are more of a placeholder, but once you pointed out the circles I had to go and fix them now instead of...

      Operating Systems

      Before long, I have to think about retiring the old laptop and buying a new computer. For occupational reasons, there is a very high chance that I will probably require a Mac, despite otherwise preferring PC for just about everything. As a result, I was curious how other people are faring with...

      New shield animation, decoration blocks, missles, and embossed computers. Enjoy.

      Icarthian Docking Classification System

      The plus\'es and minus\'es make the system a little more confusing than it needs to be. Where docking is concerned, you usually have two options: Docking ports that are made for a specific type of ship (faction ships, escape pods, landing crafts, etc), or public docking ports that need to be...

      Physics expansion?

      No. For a generic, box ship this sounds all fine and dandy. A single chunk of stuff getting split in two. People get really creative with their builds, though. It\'s not uncommon to see a ship with interior parts that aren\'t directly connected, life floating cores or rings around a ship...

      Space station vs ship

      Space stations are more reliable with respawning after you die, and can even be turned into an invincible faction homebase if that\'s your thing. And since they can\'t move, you never lose track of it. It\'s exactly what you\'d expect: a stationary base that\'s always there for you. Ships are...

      Texture Travesty

      More texture experimentation. Playing with a few of the animated textures as well, this time. Top Row: Power (recharge), Shield, and Powerdrain Beam. Bottom Row: Power (storage), Ship Core, and Powertransfer Beam. Shield needs work, but I might keep the overall look. The power regen will...

      Texture Travesty

      I\'m afraid I can\'t remove that, jstenholt. Stupid jokes aside, I just like the look of it. And can you honestly say the default isn\'t just as creepy? xD

      Texture Pack – Low Res, Minecraft Style + Clean GUI

      It foiled some of my earlier plans that involved a border all around the sides of my computers. Have to make my side textures a little more tileable now, instead of trying to do interesting things that wrap around.

      Texture Pack – Low Res, Minecraft Style + Clean GUI

      I\'m not too crazy about your core, but overall it looks pretty nice. I\'ve gone back and forth so much with shields and cores and can\'t decide on a look that I like with my own textures.

      Texture Travesty

      Decided to play with textures a bit. Been working on all of the computer displays first, and a few others. Going for a scan-line, monochrome theme for each computer. Limited controls because buttons are so last millenium and everything has a touch screen now. UPDATE 8-19-2013: New light...

      Turning: where should my core be?

      Where is your cockpit? You might just be fooling yourself with physics. If your viewpoint is near either end, having a longer ship will automatically feel like it turns faster, because ends that are farther out are technically moving faster than the middle of the ship. So it\'ll look like the...

      NO ONE NEEDS THE SUBJECT LINE REPEATED IN THE BODY OF THE TEXT.

      I think you just don\'t understand how the subject line works. If you don\'t put anything up there, it will autofill it with the first part of your post. So... Put your subject in the subject line.

      Texture Pack – Low Res, Minecraft Style + Clean GUI

      Right now, you have to go in and replace the files yourself after each update.

      Anders' Texture Pack (WIP)

      Block line-ups are good for showing individual textures, but people are also going to want to see the textures in action. I recommend building a small-ish ship to add to your image gallery. This helps viewers decide how well the textures tile and work with eachother, instead of just standing...
