Yeah, I know you can't move planets (well there was that bug where you could dock and jump off with one.....) I'm just making jokes about how big Keptik's ship is until I find something more amusing.
well, yea you are right in that part but!
If you pillar up from the planet to dock the ring it would no longer affected by gravity, if it works on that station it will work on a planet, the difference is the planet ring would need to be bigger but other than that it shouldn't have much impact.
Does it actually work on a planets surface? I tried making my squid ship tentacles writhe around listlessly but if another tentacle or any other object interrupted ones movement than a return pulse gets missed and one tentacle starts a chain reaction locking up all the other tentacles into a big tangle. I ended up ditching the idea but did you work out a trick for it?
But would it be a space station or a ship docked to the planet at that point?
Does it traverse land? Regardless it is a magnificent piece of starmade engineering!So here's the deathbot I made last year just for fun, finally with a walking animation and aimable guns(sorta)!
B-But it makes me feel my own kind of special. ;_;
Unfortunately it doesn't, with better logic and maybe a better shape I imagine a mech walking on a planet is possible, but I had a limited space to put all the logic into so it ended up being a very rudimentary logic system.
Someone actually tried it, but it just walked in place: http://starmadedock.net/threads/moonwalking-mech-on-a-moon.6882/
I too have been waiting for this for ages - using the same principle we can now have non square doors that fit flush with the walls!
