My work so far sketching up a CL runnabout real fast for Enzo

#

Im open to suggestions for power or internals. Or might just leave the internals out and let the person who maps the ship place them and decorate it

Engine nacelles added. Critiques are welcome!

#

this just

#

gave me

#

a badass idea

#

y remember starchs spider ship that had sections

#

make a ship biodome like it

#

the CL has a center bigger one with

#

like foru docks

#

and each dock is for other biodomes for like sec, jani, etc

#

but

#

the way theyd break so fast godo

#

Kind of like a modular ship?

#

The CL one is the office/park type one, and the jani/sec ones can link with it?

#

Ie, portable jail, portable garbage truck/maints ship, ect?

azure cloak May 14, 2025, 4:31 AM

#

yes

#

absolutely

#

that way multiple unique domes can exist

#

more than the usual

#

CO ones

#

Hmm. Might sketch that up in a bit! But the main issue is that they can't sync their engines. If two ships are docked, there should be a option to sync engines in the console, let them act as a single vessel

i present to you

#

just make each airlock a three door system with the middle being the power transfer

#

if this gets added

worn pond May 14, 2025, 4:33 AM

#

Not just power transfer

#

The THRUSTERS are synced while docked

azure cloak May 14, 2025, 4:34 AM

#

in theory it doesnt just transfer, leaving it connected should allow the power grids to stay in touch forever

azure cloak May 14, 2025, 4:34 AM

#

worn pond The THRUSTERS are synced while docked

ohhhh

#

that is

#

a hard to answer fix

worn pond May 14, 2025, 4:34 AM

#

That way you dont feel like you are lugging around a weight unless one of the domestic are offline

worn pond May 14, 2025, 4:34 AM

#

azure cloak a hard to answer fix

Easy fix

#

Make there be a check for docked ships. If yes, add a check box to sync shuttle consoles

azure cloak May 14, 2025, 4:35 AM

#

perhaps itd just be simpler if you FTL everywhere when youre connected

worn pond May 14, 2025, 4:35 AM

#

That way one console controls ALL the thrusters

#

But if it undocks, it automatically breaks the link

azure cloak May 14, 2025, 4:37 AM

#

thats a weird and possibly complex mechanic

#

but i dont know c#

#

it might be simple

#

simple as the FTL link ark mafe

#

made

worn pond May 14, 2025, 4:37 AM

#

azure cloak thats a weird and possibly complex mechanic

Actually, no!

#

Remember, two shuttle consoles in base game can be synced

#

Its kinda like that, multiple ships synced to the same console, acting as one big hulk. (Make it all, while docked, one big grid)

azure cloak May 14, 2025, 4:39 AM

#

i see

#

also

#

if we do make trhe dome system

#

imagine

#

the way it works

Player station hulks

azure cloak May 14, 2025, 4:39 AM

it creates a literal grid space of a community

yeah

#

a giant checkerboard of people

#

LMAO

#

IMAGINE

#

a center one

#

that is

#

a mobile mall

#

with like

#

two docks on each side

#

Just see this GRID of domestic charging at you at high speed

#

*domes

azure cloak May 14, 2025, 4:40 AM

#

all fitted with C4 and mines

worn pond May 14, 2025, 4:40 AM

#

And its the generator models, so powered by AMEs

azure cloak May 14, 2025, 4:40 AM

#

hmm

#

if the power transfer is added

#

the one big middle dome

#

would need AME

#

and the rest small generators

#

that way the power grid stay afloat from one stable source

#

and doesnt consume mats like crazy

#

OR

#

jusst make

#

an engineering dome

#

and have it house an AME only

worn pond May 14, 2025, 4:41 AM

#

The central dome is a giant, four or more core ame

#

Based ship, named a Power dome

azure cloak May 14, 2025, 4:41 AM

#

ahhh

#

i see

#

i was thinking a dome thats just a hub

#

but i like that idea more

worn pond May 14, 2025, 4:42 AM

#

If we want them modular and sharing power, that would be the way to do it.

azure cloak May 14, 2025, 4:42 AM

#

honestly, ou could fit the power dome out to look like a hub

#

itd just have a big ol AME in the middle

#

i can imagine its design in my head

#

i cant sketch it tho

#

no grid sheet

#

godo

worn pond May 14, 2025, 4:44 AM

#

Fair. I can't map it as i have no clue how and don't feel like trying to learn it for the moment, hence, grid paper

azure cloak May 14, 2025, 4:45 AM

#

but imo

#

gridpaper

#

is perfect

#

for mapping

#

in paper

#

its literally a tileset

worn pond May 14, 2025, 4:49 AM

#

EXACTLY why I bought it

#

That, and I work in the department NEXT to it so I could buy it on my break.... (I work retail hell)

tragedy

worn pond May 14, 2025, 4:51 AM

#

My main issue is having to sketch our consistent map keys and the like so people know what each item is on the grid

#

In example
