ah okay cool, good to here. Shame the Mech had to go though!

the slave effect can not ever be more that 100%. More blocks will just be redundant

I like the cruiser, and the rail gifs are really funky :) is it an access port? I've got a fair amount of rails stuff going on in my cruiser, which was derping on every bp i saved. Feel free to delete it in an attempt to debug FD, may or may not make a difference. sector 9,0,0, the merciless...

I'm simply posing counter arguments Visitor, do not get me wrong, I love the idea of crew, but i think playing devils advocate helps to expand great ideas and iron out potential issues early. I also think having options is also nice. Ofc, if we could reskin Dave and save the skin with ships...

I'd steer away from forcing people into having crew, some people may not want that within their ship's concept - i.e. look at keptick's Charon. The lore behind that suggests the ship itself is an AI, no real crew needed. Thus having a bunch of daves running around may decrease from the designers...

the engineering challenge can be found within the countless logic and rails possibilities. As it stands at this moment in time the game is more focused around the creative. But if you want a challenge, go build a 5 floor elevator with rails and logic, which has queueable call commands, a call...

Quick gif of the monorail... :)

+1 It would make the container handling system I have in my head doable. That and being able to move between rails of two entities... In fact, the more you think about it, the number of possibility is great, ofc the only issue I see is it would make it technically possible to dock a planet or...

Firstly, all of the yass for undocking velocity please Furthermore, i'd sooner see this be done on enhancers attached to the rail speed controller which increase the max ratio value (if that makes sense - currently max is 200% default rail speed), rather than a config value. I only say this as...

I quite like the requirement for physical space/resources to support crew. You then get a trade off between increasing efficiency with crew at the cost of having to sacrifice space you could use for systems on bed spaces and corridors etc :). Good lead to interesting variation in ship design as...

I dont doubt that you can pulse it, I was more curious of how smooth the resultant movement would be. Anyway I fear I may have derailed slightly. I agree with you tho Mega, it would be a good way of defining the angle, I was just curious of the end result :p

Sure you could rotate the rotor twice, but I think the aesthetic value would be lost. Imagine Bench's Imperial Shuttle wings with a stutter in the middle... unless pulsing the rotate 'command' in quick succession provides one continues movement to the final angle? I've never pulsed the rotate...

Megacrafter127 Would you not want obtuse angles then?

although would it not make sense to make it 360°? then you could have obtuse angles as well. If i understand you correctly, the ratio can never exceed 1 so the max rotation in your equation tops out at 180°

how about taking the files from within the game directory? Would that work? (i'm just spit-balling but lets just say I have invested interest in this project...)

Looking good! Keep it up :) Keep experimenting with the placement of the coloured crystals behind the ice. You can also achieve cool results with mulitple colours as well as placing the light block in other locations (not directly behind the ice). Are you on the NFD build server at all?

Sorry for the late reply, forgot about this. As an update, i found containing the entity that was moving seemed to work (i.e. have an elevator surrounded by walls where possible. If I can get a BP that isn't borked which has this issue i'll send it across to you AndyP

I like the general look of the ship bud, I'd suggest putting ice (not ice crystal, just ice) over the engines and have a play with the effect of light emission through ice. It can create really nice effects with some real depth :)

just.... wow

hmm damn. Is this likely to lead to a world reset? I really hope not :s I was having real trouble saving bp's that weren't corrupted...
