Universal Starship Engineering.

Our forum.

Please apply there for employment!

Here at USE we strive to create the most enjoyable starship experience your credit limit has to offer.

ALERT!
The generous guys over at http://starmade.windoom.com/ have allowed us to set up a dedicated USE server with them!

To play on the server you'll need to be whitelisted. To be whitelisted you must be a memeber of the USE forums and the Windoom forums, you'll also need to install the USE block mod so you can play properly. Both the server IP and block mod can be found on the USE forums.

Company History:
Formally known as "Xylite" Technologies and "Kytech" prior to that, both companies ending in utter disaster, something about a forced takeover with Kytech and Xylite being abandoned by me. Not to worry.

We are back, and we are better than ever!

All previous ships build by former companies are now intellectual property of USE.

Note: Universal Starship Engineering is NOT a faction. It is a group of builders that strive to make the best ships the possibly can.

Dammit, if only I could get on NASS again

Great to see you back shipbuilding!

EDIT: NASS suddenly seems to be working again :D

 

[Crusade]

I am building them offline, but I will be making them public for people to take onto NASS!

 

[weehairy]

The ship everyone wants to see will never be finished. Why you do this?

 

[Crusade]

What?
Nightingale?
Well actually I ha- VVVTT *signal lost*

 

[Crusade]

Destrada is moving along nicely.
Here it is with its external generators:

It generates 800,000 e/sec normally and 3,800,000 e/sec when external gens are active.

Wait do ships take power from docked objects now?

 

[kupu]

I think it\'s possible to use a powerdrain beam on a docked objects drawing reserve power from docked \"generators\".

I\'m curious to know how you did it though Crusade, it looks really nice. I love the potential for modular ship designs.

 

[BorgCollective]

I have tested that on larger cubes but you need more than one person to control the ship

 

[Draren Thiralas]

How does this power boost exactly work?

 

[Crusade]

Any ships that use the powerboost system has a set of power drains aimed directly at the dockable modules. The pilot of the ship can use the power drain beams to quickly charge power in an emergency, at the cost of not using weapons for a short amount of time.

It is especially handy for ships that draw excessive amount of power to move, as you can use the PowerBoosters and move at the same time.

 

[FlyingDebris]

That seems like an interesting way to do that.

 

[BorgCollective]

O... i forgot you can change the directions of the computers and it affects the beams now

 

[Reilly Reese]

Amazing strategy. Wish I thought of this.

 

[Comr4de]

Aaaaaaaaaa

Such pretty ships

i just love those damage effects. What texture pack are you using.

 

[Crusade]

Vanilla, but i\'m using a custom overlay for damage effects.

 

[Braydoss of au]

and I like all the frame work

 

[Defentrix]

Id just love to know how you managed to get your Powerboost to make so much power in so little space!

While frames are a cool concept to use on your personal mod there would be nothing stopping players from building an entire ship out of them otherwise.
