Ah, good point! Didn't think about the rods at all, thanks!Dat holo projection! *steals concept
Dat baby charon..
BTW if you use rod lights, you can reduce the amount of opaque blocks even more. Try blue crystal armor (not glass) with rods. Awesome.
Yep, I finished the mini-charon with all systems and the functioning turret :Pis the baby charon a viable ship? it would look epic if you had the charon mothership warp in with a fleet of mini charons, that would be so epic
Obviously :p . As for the rest... um... that's a bit too much for me (for now at least).I sure as hell hope you have the lights clocked so they blink on damage and are off on no damage :D
There is nothing more epic than having the entire ship interior flash with waves of red on alert (all corridors should have alarm lights in reasonable spacing too - just hook them up to an OR that takes all the individual damage information).
I haven't connected anything yet. The red lights that are currently there all mark turrets (notice the emplacements on the hologram) and docked or to be docked stuff. When one of those gets undocked by getting destroyed the docking block sends a signal to the light (which passes through not gates and stuff to make the light open properly). It's pretty simple, really. I'll see about adding some ship mounted damage sensors but considering the size that might not happen. A turret getting destroyed is already a pretty good damage indicator tbh.how dose this damage reporter work?
Thank you, that really warms my heart :')I've seen your ship advertised in your signature forever but this is actually the first time that I have stopped by to take a good look. I really appreciate the style that you have chosen as it is somewhat similar to what I have going on for my Valhalla titan.
Honestly though, looking at what you have done makes me realize that I am still but a novice builder and I am amazed at how much you have gotten done on such a massive build considering the amount of time you have in. Valhalla is 400 meters shorter, was started a year ago now and is nowhere near complete as far as I am concerned. Just getting all 17 or so of the decks fleshed out has been an exercise in frustration at times.
Anyway, I didn't come here to complain but to praise. The ship is phenomenal, you should be very proud. Starmade is more than a mere game, it is an awesome piece of design software that requires little more than an imagination to create. You have definitely imagined something truly beautiful here.
Maybe :p. I'm pretty sure that the systems are shit for it's mass since it's mostly hull, though.*drools from the mini charon fleet ideas* can we have the baby charon for download pwwweeeeees ^_^
Awesome looking conduits! I wish I could build like this. *Sigh*[DOUBLEPOST=1416195840,1416195687][/DOUBLEPOST]This ship is so amazing, I wouldn't want to fight it, as I might scratch the hull... Oh well, my puny guns wouldn't do anything to it. In all seriousness though, good job! Keep up the good work kleptic!Random news: I improved my cable/energy-conduit design
I'll be converting the cables on the big turret and the super weapon to this style. I also made a palette to make it easier ^_^ . Would anyone be interested in downloading it? If so I'll upload it to the website, it makes making cables infinitely faster.
