Lots of great builds here. Now I feel the need to work in some spinny rail bits.

Spoiler: Early Engine Experimentation

Tell me about your stealth engine tech....

I would, but the techs won't let me see it.

Added links from my phone; I'll get em working when I have a chance.

Wow everyone made really cool engines. This thread inspired me to build beautiful ships again.

Holy crap man, beautiful is an understatement. That color scheme is awesome.

Trying out a new engine design. Hasn't been wedged yet because it's still under heavy revisions.

That looks like a gigantic eye :P

How did you make that btw? Spinning ice?

 

[Thalanor]

The center part looks awesome. The blue part however, I am not a fan of flat ice surface engines :p
Bloom is not strong enough to override the impression of "flat surface", regardless of crystal color used.

It's spinning on a rotor, and it's ice over a layer of white hull. The edges of the white hull are replaced with lava. I originally tried Sintyr, but it looked like yellow snow.

I'm giving special thanks to Vanhelzing for giving me the idea, with the "sunset engines" on his Mercury Miner.

Yeah, I plan on adding some depth to it. Just testing stuff out for now.

Always watching.

(I really wish ice came with other shapes)

But first scaffold wedge!

 

[jorgekorke]

This thread deserves some fighter love. They do have a small engine too hehe

 

[MeRobo]

I'm working on a ship and wanted to know what you think about the (not very big) engines.

 

[Reilly Reese]

Hmm they seem small

/sarcasm

Nice use of ye ol paint

To all those who absolutely positively want flat-surface engines for space reasons or other: this is how you do it (the examples quote above). Using the possibilities of the light engine; neat results.

Compared to that, its flat out boring and uninspired (and sadly, common) to just use 1 layer of homogenous glowing ice.

So, did everyone forget about good ol' combustion engines? They seem to work well on smaller ships.
