    Back end of my new frigate build:

    Not finalized yet, and the engines ARE kinda 2-dimensional.

    I still have much to learn even in the art of ice-engines, and didn't yet try the new feature with the exposed thrusters, but here are 3 of the better engines I built this year:



    1) This is on a jumpship already uploaded, The Azurite Serpent

    2) This is an almost-done planetary bomber craft with docked engines, NovaGlow-class mining bomber

    3) And this little exploration vessel will be released soon, Metallum C430

    Working on some logic animated engine design, thought I'd share:

    May or may not leave the logic in when I put it into the final ship, depends on how laggy it all ends up being. I wanted it to be something that I could link into the docker so that the engines shut down when I dock and then power up when I undock, so I will at least keep the on/off switch.

    Greeatttt sky thinks this site is actual porn. I just got a "Report this site as safe" from them. Had to wait a week before they realised that this was not a pornsite.

    Engines are the first thing to build on cruisers.

    so many fallen soldiers in the first pages of the thread. So many images not found. So many. Fallen. Soldiers.

    On a lighter note. Here are my boring average engines in need of a refit.

    Question, can you change the colour of the new thruster effects, or are they random?

    Link a light emitting block (lamp, crystal, force field, etc.) to the ship core. If thruster plumes don't update immediately, try flying into another sector.
