i started over 3 times earlier

but yeah! i can definitely do this. Want the ship to be a carrier too?

could have mining fighters still

and other potential fighter units

[warm lava]

yeah that'll work, and probably make some bays for mechs/fighters

[frail blade]

yessir!

ill do the spyglass shape, with the empty middle parts being for the fighters to dock in

[frail blade]

@warm lava

what do you think of this mining fighter?

i shaped it so its like a small reliable drone

[warm lava]

Handy drone

[frail blade]

utilitarian, and its got the UI colors

also, @warm lava should this also have combat fighters too?

[warm lava]

Nah the mining drone itself should be fine.

[frail blade]

gotcha

[warm lava]

The fighters are gonna be a different thing

[frail blade]

this should be good for a CIV shipyard

[warm lava]

just uh

Make sure there's bays for deploying mechs on it

Like the Arkensaw

[frail blade]

yessir! already have that in mind

[warm lava]

Cause i'm gonna eventually

Get these coded as like, pilotable things

Like mechs

[frail blade]

oooo

entity fighters

[warm lava]

So you can enter an actual entity fighter and pilot it around

[frail blade]

seems fun!

ill make the mech bays 5x5

just in case

[warm lava]

4x4 should be fine

That or the bay will have to be just 1 large central bay

[frail blade]

ill see what i can cook up

4x4 mech bay works

@warm lava here we go! mining drone done

[frail blade]

@warm lava after some drawing, ive placed 2x mech hangars and 2x fighter hangars

and the bottom part of the ship would be the engine/crew accomodations part, and the front half would be where the R&D and production wing would be

with additional docking ports for other ships to do trade or resupply

[warm lava]

looking good

[frail blade]

swank swank!

ill keep on working on it

[neat crag]

Should totally include a storefront in the front

[warm lava]

Good point.

[frail blade]

figures

yeah tbh i was messing about what to put on the front

a storefront might be a good idea

ablative armor and all that

[frail blade]

@warm lava made some more progress

the back end is the engineering parts, ive made the rear thrusters accessible as well

for either repairs or upgrades

and ive slapped some U.I vacsuits and hardsuits in the back

2x pilot vacsuits and 2x engineering hardsuits specifically

[warm lava]

nice nice

[ember nexus]

the only advantage of entity fighters is being able to stuff them in a hangar instead of cutting giant swaths into ships like above

which is way better for rp and gameplay

[warm lava]

Yes.

[ember nexus]

so use that to its fullest

[warm lava]

I like having hangars be hangars

Technically speaking I could just like... get a entity mining ship made

[neat crag]

Technically mechbays can also be entityfighter bays

[neat crag]

Not sure how well that would work

[warm lava]

then having giant chunks cut out of the ship would be unnecessary

[warm lava]

Make a mechmounted version of the mining pulsar

Have it only mountable on the mining entity fighter

profit

[neat crag]

But how do you collect the ore

[warm lava]

You'd have the same problem in a ship miner

it can't gather ore either

Also I think oremagnets work even if you're piloting a mech/fighter

[neat crag]

But the ship you Cna carry an ore box in, and more easily hop out to collect it

[warm lava]

So you'd still have to stop and hop out either way

Entity fighters are kino

[neat crag]

You would. But you can't put an ore box into an entity fighter

[warm lava]

Yeah. So just make ore pouches work through mechs

I'm like 90% sure they already do

Cause one of the best ways to mine is use the Clarke with an ore box picked up by the hydraulic clamp

[prime pawn]

Terraria ahhh

[warm lava]

Terraria mentioned

Yearly playthrough time

[frail blade]

@warm lava still WIP but what do you think so far?

the hallways are wide so just in case you want mechs to travel from hallway to another ship,theres space, so they dont gotta fly out

the front part would be where the shops/crew accomodations would be

[frail blade]

well, its got some weaknesses... but its a civilian ship nontheless

[hushed wedge]

Would those thrusters in the craft bays get past submission tho?

[frail blade]

theres a 1 tile space between the thrusters and the fighter that hangar is made for

so hopefully it should be fine

[hushed wedge]

Nice

[frail blade]

@warm lava right! the internals are done

just gotta floor it up, decorate, and test

[neat crag]

I see you have immediately taken to the diagonal lattice as well

[frail blade]

yep! once i found it, i GOTTA use it

finally... diagonals without the lattice sticking out

[neat crag]

I used them too. Tada

[warm lava]

If the tarantula is a crab, you made a damn lobster ship

[neat crag]

Closer to a crayfish. It's tiny and nimble

[spiral wigeon]

Windreign but not atmos and the carrier is in the rear

[ember nexus]

@warm lava

which one do you fancy the most

[warm lava]

Ooh

Fuck I like the wood furniture...

But I feel like that would be too fancy

[neat crag]

Ullman industries can do fancy, after all, even the most hardened killers deserve luxury with their high end ullman firearms

[neon steeple]

Could say it’s synthetic/imitation wood
Same price but engraved to look better

[young burrow]

I think sniper 3 works for it bc its a premium weapon

But the pistol/rifle should prob be standard carbon stock

[trim wagon]

Neat

[real lagoon]

anyone need spri- nvm

[neat crag]

Hey rubee how dis going

[frail blade]

i've been busy with life sadly

[neat crag]

Ahhhh

[frail blade]

my apologies

[neat crag]

No worries, was just curious
