That's where other salvage tools come in

Make a maintenance jack. Use it to break up the wreckage
Hm, maybe a Manned version of it, then?
You have to mannualy sit into it ( with a doafter )
To utilise it
crimson halo
No no. I don't mean that
I mean you go to the shuttle you wanna ship break
And literally start out by breaking it up into chunks
Either with an RCD, Fireaxe. Or maintenance jack
Then either fly in closer or use the tethers to pull it in to be processed
peak lichen
I get that, i mean make the salvage shipgun manned, rather than remote fired
Would reduce combat optibility a bit
crimson halo
Nah. I want them to link to the gunnary console still. So you can use 4-6 at once to shatter the remains of a ship
You would need to get dangerously close to use them as weapons
peak lichen
True.
shut sigil
what kind of "ship mounted salvage kit" are we talking?
OH HOLY SHIT, THIS IS THE SAME IDEA I HAD IN UPSTREAM except it's handheld and only picks up items off the ground and sucks it into a ball-like center of the tether that follows the cursor.
So this request is asking for:
I think this is going to have a lot of C# coded to make this work
especially with the salvage turret and the tether turret
crimson halo
This is why it's $100
shut sigil
I don't know how the gunship system works in this server so I'll pass on this TwT
especially if it's going to be a utility gun
I don't even know how to code my own similar idea for upstream right now
but the laser drill itself is already usable

Probabyl tether gun would be better
shut sigil
are you going for a manual "click and drag" for the ship's tractor beam?
crimson halo
Essentially, with a UI similar to the gunnery console
So you can lock onto a grid and drag it precisely into an area to be mulched
shut sigil
not sure if it's possible but here's an idea, instead of just click and drag, what if you could just click and "lock on" to a grid and press a button to "pull" the grid automatically near your ship, with a range slider that you can use to set the distance of how close it should be near the ship.
crimson halo
Ehhhh. I think it'd be better to reuse the tether gun still and a bit less complicated then
Cause all you need is essentially a ship mounted tether gun that can do the grid drag stuff

what if instead of eating the walls its just a ray that turns the walls into their respective ores and you just get that and use an industrial ore processor?
I guess that'd defeat the whole purpose of the idea
fair flicker
Maybe requiring you to board the ship and anchor some sorta salvage beacon on it that lets the scrapper cannons work?
Maybe taking a short time to activate and putting out a message over shortwave just so anyone who doesn't want the ship scrapped can know before it's too late
Just so if you do use it as a weapon, you have to work for it

I imagine the hardest part about this would be the tractor UI, I don't even know how to start thinking about that. You would need essentially a touch screen and idk if that's possible. Maybe fire it like any other ship gun then use arrow pad controls to move it around?
Be some top level code for the dragging on a ui, idk if you're going to be able to find someone who can code that
Ok I thought of a way to do it lol
I was definitely over thinking it
crimson halo
Small push
tiny bane
should say inversely proportional
maybe something like this?
alternative mode would not invert the force applied for a repulsion beam
could simulate a beam by continuously firing and applying a smaller force more rapidly (or just make it into the grav gun from half life when not tethering )
to hold a grid in place you could calculate the distance between where the crosshair of the tether gun was aimed at and where the beam actually hit, then use the difference as a factor to determine how much force to apply
traction/tether/repulsion modes might be possible this way
tired vortex
im gonna make a ship design with this bounty in mind
but ill change the shape if we ever get the salvage kit merged
so it actually utilizes said salvage kit

This would be repurposed as a weapon.
true that this would be repurposed as a weapon, but combat scenarios play out fast. it's functionality as a weapon could be offset by taking time, and only working on motionless objects

i wanted to make a salvage saw
melee-range ship device which deconstructs whatever is in front

if there's nothing in front will deconstruct tiles instead
yes you can use it to mine but it'll have reduced ore yield

so PayPal won't work for me
can try set up crypto

we can take the bounty as 2 people simultaneously

Just ask @dry kiln or @little drift if they would be open to do it
exotic zenith
its should be tether
little drift
im busy on an M92x resprite rn though
little drift
the main thing though
would the head of the tether be like a claw, a hook, or a spear
dry kiln
I could do it but take @little drift first
hazy nexus
i'm not sure how tethergun would work control-wise
dry kiln
Never even saw this otherwise I'd already have done it
hazy nexus
grapple i can do however
dry kiln
Bounty list weird
little drift
if my motivation even let's me pull through
tiny bane
if its a gun mount you could take cursor and actual hit delta
then add impulse towards where cursor is delta amount
exotic zenith
i'm not sure how tethergun would work control-wise
dragging grid on console apparently
hazy nexus
i mean
that can work
but it won't be convenient
i don't think we even need tethergun or grapple
only salvage saw is needed really
exotic zenith
grapple is good actually
hazy nexus
however grapple may be useful for chimera ship
exotic zenith
can be used in combat
tiny bane
it'd be cool to have a space tow truck
exotic zenith
can be used in combat
grapple flyssa as baeg
hazy nexus
you can let me code the actual physics of grapple
tiny bane
maybe not even necessarily need a gun to prevent abuse
hazy nexus
turn on station anchor
i was thinking it'd have an actual winch strength
so it can only pull with so much force

grapple should be much easier to make
just need to somehow invert current system and apply it for grids
and physics ofc

by winch i mean rope

the winch can get like 3 frames of animation to show it spinning

as i said
the thing that connects gun and projectile
and i do not recommend making sprites for code that doesn't yet exist
especially code as experimental as a shipgun harpoon
i am not sure if i would be able to get it working in a sane way

what if we made it the shipgun equivalent to how grapple gun already works...

i know it's possible but is it possible sanely
little drift
harpoon charon
"Dematerializer"
hazy nexus
what if we made it the shipgun equivalent to how grapple gun already works...
i'm not sure if it does even work
and it would still need to be a new system written from zero to work for grids
little drift
"Dematerializer"
bigger pulsar thats tuned for damaging hulls and turning them into their base components
little drift
ah
little drift
I haven't re-read the whole thing im just kinda imagining things rn
ill do a saw
should it be like an extendo saw
hazy nexus
maybe a crusher thing
just imagine something that salvages things in front
doesn't have to be a saw
little drift
wait it could be a laser ray
lemme draw what im thinking rn
vvrrrmmm
an energy saw kinda deal
uses a magnetic field to bend a beam of incinerating plasma in front of itself to turn walls and stuff into their components
as a side effect it instantly vaporizes creatures in front of it
benefits are compactness and being a salv magnet at the same time
but it eats power like no tommorow so it comes with a cell that gives it enough time to operate independently for 30 seconds before eating ship power
gonna sprite a regular salvage grinder concept if this one is too much
hazy nexus
i think plasma cutter is best
little drift
still a concept regardless
I could make the plasma run through the lattice maybe
no plasma
slot for conveyors on the back to go
dumps the materials it collects behind itself
hazy nexus
i wanted it to have a disposal pipe port

Surely hard to code, is there something to determine what is a derelict and what...
there are two ways
either checking if grid has power
