Planetoid class spaceship: the Maelstrom (progress thread)

[blurb357]

Sigh

hmmm? [DOUBLEPOST=1416385456,1416384449][/DOUBLEPOST]ah, I didn't see the dates, I was just brought here by someone else's thread

 

[takethispie]

I prefer blue light than varat
maybe I'll do a specific thread on logic but not sure, I have less time than I had before unfortunatly :/

the project is still alive, now all hangars have double door and all door are wired to the strategic center but there is not much to show x)
inside the control panel

the next big thing with logic is the turbolifts state screen wich shows the turbolifts used and the positions of the users inside it
(but not the EXACT position as I don't want to add hundred of detector)

I also upgraded the weapons , the main AMC has 800K DPS

I'm working of something really awesome but I'm not sure if I'll add it to the maelstrom: a communication bus wich go throught the whole ship, very usefull but it's hard to implement (even harder with the finite state update problem)
it will allow networking with any logic system everywhere on the ship with only 8-16 wires, the hardest thing is to create a two-way bus and also to deal with ultra-low speed of the clocks you can build in starmade ^^

what is this things weaponry?

 

[takethispie]

no just the cable connecting the door logic to the control panels x)

 

[takethispie]

the Maelstrom is in the background of starmade.org ! :D
so since starmade is out on steam I will play to starmade a lot more and continue to work on the mealstrom
(kinda stopped playing during the 2-3 past weeks)
stay tuned !

 

[Farel17]

Wow! Just amazing. I love the design and shape of this ship. I can't get it out of my mind!

 

[takethispie]

thank you ! :D

 

[takethispie]

some screenshots ! :D
(yes I didn't hide the HUD ...sorry)

the thruster are very basic but I really love them :D

Maelstrom VS planet:

damage after a small Maelstrom vs Maelstrom battle ! :D
I had to entity_destroy the other because my game was too laggy :/

 

[wakko151]

I have this as my desktop backround and am patiently waiting and hoarding resources for its first release. xD

 

[takethispie]

you gonna need A HELL LOT OF RESSOURCES to spawn it using blueprint xD , you should rather use the /load command
I'll put releases but not the final release, I'll keep the final version for myself as there will be secret system I don't want to reveal

 

[wakko151]

I don't play in single player. I will not use the load command. I am going to use the blueprint when it comes out.

 

[takethispie]

[takethispie]

[Top 4ce]

Yes! A giant space brick! I've been looking for one of these!

I don't think you know the definition of "Space brick" because this isn't one.

don't worry I don't give a fuck about what is saying (but thank you btw ^^ ) , according to his previous posting he is not going to last long here anyway 'cause he is a troll xD

 

[Master_Artificer]

Hmm, I dunno if it is a planetoid class. If a planet cannot dock in a hanger, I don't think it counts XD

Hmmm. Is there any ship that can have planets fit inside a hanger?

Oh wait I was wrong, didn't see this pic XD Wow that's a big ship.

 

[takethispie]

my biggest unfinished project the heavy-planetoid class Spyrius spaceship could make an entire planet fit inside the ship (but at the time it was still flat planets so it couldn't fit) but not the Maelstrom

the name planetoid come from an old spaceship classification: the nameless ship classification (http://oldsite.star-made.org/content/nameless-guide-ship-classifications) and as an old player I'm still using this because the name is awesome ^^'
Mealstrom -> Planetoid
Spyrius -> heavy-planetoid

Oh wait I was wrong, didn't see this pic XD Wow that's a big ship.

yes, 1Km long spaceship isn't a small fighter :P

 

[Drybreeze]

I really like this build. Awesome bit of concept art you're working from, also.
