Well call me a necrophiliac because this is some necro posting.
So I have not been playing starmade too much recently, and as a 48 day necro post warning is telling me, I need to start playing more. Fortunately for people I have done a bit more work on the BRiDGE, unfortunately for servers I have done more work on the BRiDGE.
Behold, not all that much progress apart from roughly 1km of detail.
Now this is the bridge I have been working on the most recently.
That small bugger quickly turned into a fully fledged dark grey standard armour not-quite-yet-fledged-baby-thing.
This ship is the ship that I am using to develop the Moderas style, it combines the use of angular, artificial plating and shapes, with organic things such as the occasional curve, a spine, smaller spines, ribs, and some plant like detailing.
Of course its a very complicated way of thinking so I came up with a slightly less complicated way of thinking while building: Elves in space growing a skeleton and then building a ship onto that skeleton, and then adding artsy fartsy shit.
Pipes are used to connect the exposed skeleton of the "ship creature" to the ships systems. In the lore the spinal cord of the ship is connected to the shields and jump drive systems, and is a more efficient way of emitting the shields across the ship and allows for more control with a jump drive on top of cooling the extremely hot reactors of the Moderas ships. (No stars were harmed in the creation of this ship...we think)
And for the sake of being more alien, the spine has mini "spinelets" growing off of it (note: these are not the ribs of the ship). These mini spines are for improved control while jumping with a jump drive, and to look artsy fartsy for the Modera who pilot these ships.
That is all for now, expect an update in around another 48 days.
Hail pipe!
