I played Cosmoteer before this DLC came out. Everything ends up being a box. I’m guessing FTL and similar games also have that problem.
☝️🤓 You don’t design ships in FTL!
I did this in the first Kingdom Hearts. I maxed out the number of gummies I could use and basically made a giant cube with a bunch of wings and guns and stuff. It was actually pretty good.
Also applicable to Cosmoteer
And Factorio: Space Age
As some one currently redesigning a box space ship in Factorio I can confirm this.
I’ve made ships that have made it to the first 3 planets.
They never make it back though, and I always forget I need a way to use the research on each planet.
The bioplanet with its stupid item half life timers can fuck all the way off though.
I just overbuild every ship and then don’t need to worry about if my ships make it back.
And BossConstructor
I’ve never even seen a ship. I didn’t even know there was a ship until a year or two after i started playing.
I’ve still never seen it.
It’s a DLC that came out recently
Odyssey DLC just dropped recently…
But there was still a ship, the one you build to end the game
Yes, but those ships look completely different. More like the skeleton of a ship.
Yup! That’s exactly what i referring to.
New DLC
AZUL CRESCENT IN LEMMY??? YOOOOO
One thing I miss about reddit was seeing all the new Azul comics shortly after they are released. Now I see one of these every so many months and go check out their page to catch up.
She’s got a fedi account she posts her work to, https://tech.lgbt/@AzulCrescent
And at the very least RSS is an option.
Ha, my gravship still looks like a mushroom from my mushroom people eating mushrooms in their mushroom biom mushroom-formed colony. All Hail the Shroom Rocket!
Space Engineers. I always end up with bricks.
My favorite ship classes are “brick” and “ominous pyramid.”
This is fascinating to me because i always end up with a cross between a Terran battlecruiser from Starcraft and the Normandy SR2.
Need to get oddessy and see if that persists there.
factorio spaceage is very much like this
That’s okay, it’s a Borg cube.
Space Engineers have a guide for that:
Me playing Kingdom Hearts.
I’m surprised anyone has the patience to get to a space ship. I get bored late midgame when you run out of steel and have to juggle caravans and a colony which is constantly beset with attacks and adverse conditions.
I think this refers to the new (awesome) dlc where your base is a spaceship
Yes, but it’s a “gravship” to differentiate.
In the Odyssey DLC, there is a scenario where you start with a ship.
Raid strength is proportional to your wealth, as shown in the history tab. You can reduce raid strength by donating wealth (using caravans or drop pods) to potential allies.
It’s such fun game. I will never see what happens past midgame.
Oh absolutely. I have hundreds of hours logged, probably over a thousand now. It just gets so complicated and intense that I give up before getting anywhere near “end game”.
Rimworld is the kind of game people beat once, then switch to Randy (the only nod-modded story teller that allows for indefinite gameplay) and just build big honkin castles, or go on genocidal conquests, or try to eat the entire world population… often paired with the genocidal conquests.
its why I install the quarry mod and just dig forever in it lol
and turn the harvest rate up, I MEAN WAY UP
There’s a FUCKING QUARRY MOD???!!! Thank you kind sir. I’m going mining.
This is, in concept, why my brother won’t play space engineers with me.
In space, shape doesn’t matter as much as mass center. Here’s the spaceship Sidonia from Knights of Sidonia
Cool design ! This sent me for a small research loop, wondering if there is any connection to the song from Muse Knights of Cydonia. The song came out in 2006 and the first manga in 2009. Most likely explanation is they are both named after the Cydonia region of Mars. Probably, the manga got translated back from Japanese phonetically.
Unless you go really fast, then an aerodynamic shape becomes super important again
Yeah, can’t have that pesky air resistance slow you down. In…space.
Edit: Okay, now I’m actually super curious at what speed this would come into effect. I know space isn’t 100% vaccuum, so there is some point where this would become a necessary factor to consider. However, it must be at truly insane speeds, no?
Space is full of particles, and if you want to travel relativistic speeds, they’re a problem.
