      Engine Porn

      I still have much to learn even in the art of ice-engines, and didn't yet try the new feature with the exposed thrusters, but here are 3 of the better engines I built this year: 1) This is on a jumpship already uploaded, The Azurite Serpent 2) This is an almost-done planetary bomber...

      Fighter Porn

      I never really dealt with smaller ships after discovering Creative Mode, but I recently built a strange "little" fighter drone for a work-in-progress carrier :cool: :D

      AZURITE SERPENT - Fixed power issue

      - Fixed the power drainage issue by largely reducing the overdrive system, but also slightly increased the ion-effect system. (Reverted to the original v1.0 setup with all modules of the Overdrive in the left-side systems tank, and all modules of the Ion cell in the right-side systems tank, for...

      If you're indeed depressed, rest assured, cause there are always tons of happy ideas out there for us to consider... Sometimes they just have to be obtained from an outsider (not necessarily me; i'm in the same boat, usually)

      One can't be fully sure how to interpret anything online, but I have this sense of moral obligation, so just in case... I advise you to ask more directly if you think that a few comforting words form the outside world would help :)

      TFlok's Eldritch Shipyard

      That ship definitely looks like it's made for space! - many builders can't seem to achieve that look; some make their ships structurally resemble terrestrial air-crafts (with all the aerodynamic design elements that have no use in space), or they make them like nautical ships, or heck, my...

      Great job! I wanted to ask what is that block with the zig-zag pattern that you use as decoration on your walls? I never used a block type with that texture before, and somehow I couldn't find it in creative mode. (Or more precisely, I actually found something similar that could not be placed on...

      LEGULUS 1200 - The Asteroid Forager v1.2

      Allow me to introduce Legulus 1200 - a high-performance asteroid miner that started out as a tribute-build for the Asteroid Update, but eventually took 7 weeks to complete. And although it serves its purpose excellently, I will never build an asteroid miner so large again, for better...

      Improved Salvage array

      This is new for me... What exactly is the difference in function caused by selecting one of the ten modules in a single group (ie. a salvage tube) as the output? The way I (mis)understood it until now is that there can be a difference only if you have an adjacent (touching) set of modules...

      Improved Salvage array

      Hi there, my friend! :) First off, I appreciate that you wanted to share a more efficient system design with us. I myself am a big fan of mining and salvage ships, and I made a mining-related thread a while ago. (You can check it out here: The art of automatic, direct-to-storage mining / For...

      Wild Space Explorers

      No problem at all, my friend, we understand your approach for what it is - you just expressed your own personal taste in ships. It's perfectly fine that everyone has his or her own unique preference in interior design. What qualifies as cozy or moody or cool in any way for different people can...

      Wild Space Explorers

      Haha. I wasn't familiar with the meaning of the Martha Stewart reference, but I came to understand it after a little research. So basically, one who is often preoccupied with making interior spaces neat, organized, cozy or pleasant in atmosphere, qualifies as a Martha Stewart-type... I guess I...

      Wild Space Explorers

      Thanks again for this great little showcase of my ship! :) I wanted to mention that I didn't react to it on youtube only because I don't have a "DeepspaceMechanic" youtube account. Other than that, I'm happy that you liked some of the features of this spacecraft, and I agree with your...

      AZURITE SERPENT v1.3

      Allow me to introduce the Azurite Serpent - a hi-tech jumpship that started out as a speed-build, but eventually took 5 days to complete, and ended up as my first starmade spacecraft to get showcased (thanks Tshara!) :) FEATURES: * A huge, glass-capsulated jumpdrive module with a rotating...

      1) A relevant piece of wisdom for all concerned about the happenings of the past days: there is this miniature theory that I call the "avalanche protocol", that might come good in similar future cases - Just as no on-going avalanche was ever stopped by throwing sticks of dynamite at it, it's...

      It's very funny how I speculated "if it has appeared in the past in other games or movies...", when all along there was a forum post out there in the great unknown, created by someone also named Luke, with the title "My Favourite Spaceships in the World Aren't in Games, or Movies, but LEGO" :D xD

      Community Fleet Contest Results!

      When I incidentally found the BI Asteroid Salvager, I merely searched the community content with the search term "salvager", to see how others build their mining ships. Maybe mr. skylord did the same, but then decided to claim it as his own design. I couldn't download the (possibly) original...
