I thought your ships were going to look like underpants.

I agree, it would get bigger, in terms of volume, since there is no atmosphere slowing it\'s expansion; but not neccesarily more powerful as the size of it alone shows that it\'s force dissipates more than if it was in a confined space, or under pressure. I suppose it could\'ve been more...

@ EpicFailLord123 There are quite a few things wrong with this, you need to understand both how a bomb works, and how it would react to it\'s environment. Firstly, an explosion from a bomb is an incredibly fast chemical reaction. The molecules in the bomb react together, break apart and form...

I highly doubt the 2D animations have anything at all to do with this. Speaking from experience with programming with DirectX (not openGL though), all that happens to change an animation frame is that a simple, single rectangle, made up of 4 ints, is altered slightly, with this probably only 2...

Personally, I think this is quite a nice idea. Also, things don\'t instantly freeze or go down to -273° in space. As you should know from school, there are three methods of heat transfer. Conduction, Convection and Radiation. Since space is a vacuum, there is no Conduction. There is no...

Wow, very nice, well done! I\'ll have to read this a couple of times, I\'m not sure where the T shaped bit could go, but it looks as if we\'ve started it from the centre a bit differently too. I notice you have left a 1 block gap between the two interlocking 3D Ls at the centre? In my one...

With regards to the co-pilot using the power drain beams. Yes, nice idea, you could probably have something like that happening. It would be a hugely boring job though, so I can\'t imagine many people sitting there doing that for long. I suppose that would bring bots into the question.. in...

Ah well done, congrats! I\'d love to see how you approached the connections between the two halves. Thinking back to it now, I think there were some parts in there which were less then 9 blocks long, which might be better off as single blocks instead, was that something you tried?

Oh right, I see, thanks!

Well, I\'m totally blown away. You have a reactor which is half the size of the 23x23x23 and still produces 1,000,000 e/sec? Hats off to you guys. Would you mind posting a slightly larger image together with the UI portion of it\'s output? It\'s very difficult to see there, and looks as if a...

Love it! Haha, fantastic.

None of these things listed are really any sort of engine limitation. Ships already have a frame of reference specific to them, or they wouldn\'t be able to carry around their own structures. Them being mobile isn\'t really an issue when you realise that planets are actually mobile too...

Yeah, it\'s about mass only, as Zaflis said. The reason why it seems as if ship length gives different speeds is if the camera/cockpit is located at the core, or at an extremity. At the core, the camera is at the centre of the turn so it seems normal, at an extremity, the camera/cockpit also...

You just start off with two interlocking 3D L shapes in the middle, then expand out the cube. The problematic part is when the 2D Ls from the opposing 3D Ls meet. You have to use singles in the spaces in between. Apart from the unique point where they\'re both crossing the same distance from...

Yes, you can place Bobby AI controlled turrets on a ship.

Well now, that is slightly disappointing. I believe what I was originally trying to show with that 8x6x4 was that sticks are not always better than a twisted reactor. At least it doesn\'t surpass the energy levels which have been achieved in the 5x5x5 category though. I\'m still not sure...

You\'re completely ignoring the premise again, and every single time in every single thread you post this same thing in. \"If you are given specific dimensions within which to fit your power generation then...\" SPECIFIC DIMENSIONS! All of us know that the most output you can get is from...

Let\'s say, you were building a ship, you had your design sorted etc., now, when it comes to the power, you have a space of 8 blocks by 6 blocks by 4 blocks to fill... Spot the difference.

A solid cube like this you mean? It\'s 34x34x34, and does in fact need that single block to push it over the 1 million mark.

Perhaps some people are trying to restrict the size of their ships, rather than making them long and thin. To be honest, 23 is a hell of a lot shorter than the 350 you suggested in a previous post! Perhaps the interior of the ship requires that the power generation isn\'t littered around...
