Personally, I think someone who invests in a giant gun array should get the satisfaction of watching it punch a hole through some goliath vessel. I just think a big ship should be able to handle a few of those before finally exploding/going inert/whatevs.

I do think that sounds a bit silly myself, but it seems like it would be something that largely solves itself. If it's exposed and vulnerable, trying to repair it is extremely risky. And it might be kind of fun, too. Fortunately, you do have three options: You can ignore it, repair it, or...

I do think some clarification is in order, then. The intent is for critical systems (like power, or engines) to be broken into discrete chunks with their own controllers. Centrally locating them in a space is one way of employing the system, but all it does is tell your opponent what small...

We were talking about the ship HP system in chat and it got me thinking about how the game mechanics inform ship construction. Now, my knowledge of the game's mechanics ain't up-to-date, understand, so any of the things I'm saying could be tossed aside as "entirely missing the point" and I'd...

Quit talkin' 'bout me like I am a mangs of myth and/or legend.

It wasn't soon. My various Bs. I feel bad, though, so look at these pics.

addendum: The time to pimp may or may not be very soon.

Pappa don't scrimp when it comes time to pimp!

I got a for-reals job as a Professional Employedsman, which has converted my broad swaths of free time into employedstime. I am still Fleetworking, but don't have much to show off at the moment. Don't worry, we'll keep you posted.

The interior work on this is awesome and the exterior's pretty slick, too. Great job, Tankman.

It's been a quite couple of days, but rest assured noble money-containers, that we are still hard at work! Cybertooth has sent me a fantastic hull concept and we're working on cranking out a corvette. I also had an interview for a meat-people job today that went well. Much time went into...

I think the big problem with that from a user standpoint is that you NEED fine control for doing detail work. From a design standpoint, I think that would require schema to add a function to the game engine where it tries to infer what the player is trying to do and then swapping out block...

Cap'n, you saucy old cuss! Good to see you back in action!

I did, too, and I learned a lot from building them. I just don't want to update them anymore. One hull per class is fine for now, otherwise I'll get burned out again and need another 6 month hiatus so I can stop screaming in terror whenever I am confronted with blocks and any kind of open...

Well, the plan is to create new hulls to replace the old ones. The only replacements Corporate has slated as being "Sure things" are the Dirge MkII, which replaces the older Dirge MkI and Dissonance hulls, the Nocturne Mk II, which replaces the older Nocturne MkI and Hymn-class destroyer hulls...

Steal mine. :D

The design of your vessels please me. The shaped-plate texturing on the outer hull is especially eye-catching. Well done!

Whew! We got that turret fixed up and, boy, am I glad they didn't make me watch as they dropped my primary cognition arrays into a vat of candlewax and bees again. Here's what it looks like now. Shouldn't need to make too many changes to it. And this: And, for those of you who think...

Another package from Corporate. This one came with a note saying: "Fix the upper armor cowling and you may continue to exist". Haha! Such kidders. Seriously, though, I need to have that fixed. Pretty hefty. Looks like an anti-capital turret. Actually....Yeah. I've got a good idea...

It's been saved. You can see the whole thing. Chunk 1 Chunk 2
