I just heard the news (from you). What a pity.
But this Helios station actually kinda resembles the main facade of that cathedral, with the big "eye" between the two rectangular towers. Maybe its real-world designers / fictional creators actually took inspiration from the Notre Dame?
Anyways...
To tell the truth, as the project progresses, I'm getting more and more worried that this cruiser will end up being slower than a fighter :(
If only we had KSP-style 8-way radial symmetry, so that I could slap on a few dozen more of those engines a little less painfully!
It's coming along nicely. I will have to experiment some with this low-key, grey-on-grey armor plate detailing style.
Seems like a nice alternative to always going for functional-looking details. It's cleaner and arguable more realistic than having functional parts sticking out all around the...
Glad that I finally found a good use for a gargantuan engine pod template I had for a while.
Four of them are built on the ship itself, another four on a diagonally docked entity, and then some more in the middle to be sure.
I'm planning to give them some nice startup lighting animation too...
PROGRESS UPDATE POST #37
This project is progressing pretty rapidly... Probably because I'm not really paying the usual amount of attention to aesthetics and functionality.
Its main merits so far are its fun killer whale form, its overkill engines, and the fact that it's the first thing I...
Yes indeed. This terrible affliction that is StarMade addiction has too strong a grasp on me ;)
Jokes aside, it was nice to dive right into a larger project after even a little time of inactivity.
I know right? Its overall form accidentally turned out in a way that it reminded me too of some...
I chose the same 1:11 scaling as you, seemed reasonable.
And coincidentally, the final ship also ended up being around 350 long as you mentioned your's is.
Though I intend it to be more of a warship... Maybe, we'll see.
PROGRESS UPDATE POST #36
Been a while... Like two months, until I got inspired again... And like often, it was by something that our crazy genius Tshara made:
awesome method of ship design!
Here's how I copycat-ed his innovative approach:
1) Build a non-functional miniature model of...
Nice to see this project brought back to life, and excited to read in your YouTube description that you plan to start a story-driven series. Good luck with that, we're looking forward to it (y)
Exactly! :))
Do you wish you had an elevator with 20 times as many totally-unnecessary-but-cool features as essential ones? Do you desire a deeply immersive elevator experience that will make you forget that you're in StarMade? Do you share the opinion that flat-platform-only elevators are the past (cause...
@[675599:JinM] - I agree with your main points. The way I identify the different sections from outside when the signs are off, is that stations are always aligned with the "galactic compass", and I know that the Storage section faces North; Habitation-South; Science-East; Engineering-West.
The...
The original plan behind building those signs there, was to make the four different sections clearly identifiable from the outside, while keeping their mirrored (and thus indistinguishable) exterior detailing the same, to spare the effort needed to make them all unique. And the signs were made...
Thanks for the suggestion, @[675599:JinM]. - Do you mean that the floating plexdoor and forcefield signs could be replaced with icons that relate to the labeled areas, which would be built at the same places and of these same deactivate-able materials as the current text signs? - Or you mean I...
