    Utility Spaceship Contest

    The latest release to starmade revealed to us that crafting and mining will be quite important in future gameplay. After searching the community content for quite some time, I found out that there were very few salvage ships available for download, so I decided to make one myself. To encourage people to do the same Im going to host a Utility ship contest, so the StarMade community can download some really cool, and functional ships.

    deadline:
    - (Closed)
    - Im going to create A poll where people can vote for their favourites.

    Rewards:

    • at the moment there isnt any prize or reward yet, other than fame, and the winner-title, but feel free to come up with ideas to rewards. maybe there will be a reward other than fame.

    rules/guidelines:

    • The ship must have some sort of function in the game (mining, repair, etc.) Combat-salvagers (or battle-miner) will be allowed. Everything that have some functionality in game other than weapons, is allowed.
    • practicality is important, since people actually will use these ships.
    • Design will be quite important. It doesnt have to be super beautiful, but its important that things looks like it's supposed to be exactly where it is (for instance a structure that looks sturdy) Interior will also be judged as a part of the overall design.
    • ships that encourage people to team up as a crew in one ship is a big plus in this contest (Not required).
    • ships fitted with Logic that make sence, is not required, but helps the design to become more "alive" and therefore more interesting. User-friendliness is also important to logic added to ships.
    • enjoyable features and overall design.
    More rules/guidelines might be added in the future. (reply to this thread if you have ideas)

    How do I submit my ship?
    write a reply to this thread with:




      • Name of ship
      • The category you want to enter
      • Link to download your ship
      • Pictures (optional) (pictures help to give a first impression.)
      • additional info about its functionality in game. (example: Asteroid salvager that also serves as a cargoship.)

    Categories:

    Small utility-ship

    • (1-10 000) blocks
    Medium-sized utility-ship
    • (10 001-100 000) blocks
    Large utility-Ship
    • (100 001 - >) blocks
    Utility-ship fleet
    • more than 3 ships
    • same overall theme/design
    inspiration:
    - Mining ship
    - Asteroid Salvager
    - Planet Salvager
    - Salvage-turrets
    - SpaceDrill
    - RepairShip
    - CargoShip
    - SpaceForklift
    - FuelShip
    - Huge Flashlights

    This is how one of my entries looks like:
    (im going to enter Utility ship Fleet, and medium)

    Looks interesting. I'll probably be entering in this if I can come up with a design that I like :)

    Sounds great! Hopefully this will be the motivation I need to finally make me a salvager.

    I just built a forked mech loader. It has no function other than looking nice. I do have plans for a new salvage ship

    I need some utility ships...
    Might make one.

    Do turrets count for a mass total? They will help with the 1 million power soft cap.

    Are combat-salvagers (or battle-miner) allowed? Basically a salvager and warship smashed together. The concept is kill a ship and harvest it for materials, also works as normal miner. It's excellent to quickly harvest materials (tested and approved) If it's allowed then I'll enter the Galactus.

    Finished One of my entries - the small one.
    Comes with logic activated doors and gravity. built in two parts - the vehicle itself, with a 2.5:1 thrust to mass, and the triple barrel utility turret. This ship is more of a proof of concept for my 'larger' one than one in its own right, but for small scale servers it should be up to the job. It comes with repair, shield supply and power supply beams ~40 blocks each




    Also, Thadius - you sure the grabber needs to be that wide? Wowzers.

    The galactus - an overkill combat miner.
    Fits in the large utility ship category (41k mass).







    I'll PM you the DL link as I'd rather keep this one private for now.
    Okay so that is just majorly epic and B.A. Like holy crap man, love it.
