/egg/ - Engineering Games General - Formerly /svgg/

dunno, I have no strong feels for one way or another

Is everyone enjoying Spengies realistic sounds?

avorion soon

it's not gonna be the minecraft in space that we want, but it's sure as hell gonna be fun

Delaying is the best course of action

that thread is wierd and you shouldn't post in it

post here

and stop making different fucking thread, egg is egg

You're weird

you lil niggas dont know weird until you see my favourite hentai tags

i want kspg to fucking go and stay go

leave our egg alone

Question for space engineers: those fucking planets still moves about 2-10 m/s and crushing my landgear while i'm trying to make a soft touch? No Keplerian orbits yet?

Pretty sure the planets are static dude.

Planets never moved and won't for a long while.
Landing gears are made of explosive plastic with nitrogliceryne as coolant and nitrocellulose for cushioning.

I AM THE EGG

Official shield and weapon blocks into SE would be the best thing ever. Help me forget that Starmade sadistic interface.

> still no Empyrion in the OP

smfh at this ineptitude tbqh

/egg/ plays Empyrion on the Andromeda Rising server:

empyrion-servers.com/server/349/

>tfw warheads are safer than landing gears

Starmades got several issues that really hold it back and drive off most players, resulting in it being fucking ded.

#1 is the looks. It looks exactly like a minecraft clone. People look up pictures and video of the game and assume its just a minecraft reskin and dont bother playing it.

#2 is its too complicated for its own good, ensuring most players leave the game, and only the most autismo players play the game and keep playing.

#3 indestructable home bases, with no real way to ever destroy your enemies base. Once a factions points reach zero, you can destroy their base, but the games vanilla settings make it impossible to ever drop a factions points in any meaningful way, meaning you wil never hurt their base. And because almost all servers are full of giant babies who dont ever want their base hurt, they use the vanilla settings. So you attack some guy in your huge cruiser, and he just runs back to his home base with giant indestructable turrets on it and sticks his tongue out at you waiting for you to leave the server. It kills alot of fun in the game.

#4 is that bigger ships are pretty much always better in Starmade. A small ship has no fucking chance against a bigger ship, unless that bigger ship is really poorly built. If you are flying around in your ship and some guy warps into the area with a ship thats bigger than yours, you need to warp out and run away, because you will lose every time. You cant build some small super specialized ship that can take on bigger ships to attack weakpoints or anything like that. If your ship is smaller, you are juts straight up fucked.

Theres more issues, but these are my biggest complaints.

I'm not from kspg you sensitive little buttfucked retard

Starmade doesn't look like minecraft at all.
Only similarities are cubes but it ends there, starmade doesn't limit itself on 90-degree angle cubes and custom 3D model pieces are already being put in and more are to come.

I like to imagine a world where Notch wasn't lazy piece of shit and actually went ahead with his spessbuildan game project to compete with starmade.

>exactly like a minecraft clone
You must be thinking of corneroids

>implying this will unclang the massive drone autism on vanilla egg server

Drones don't cause any clang. Can have literally tens of thousands of them.

>all these factorio patches

fuck i should just buy the game

Huh, didn't think it would all fit
>tfw have to tear half of it down for fuel soon

Warbros server;

Are landing gear and/or maglocks still death?

Anyone found a way to make FtD multiplayer fun yet?

Additionally, can I fly my frigate without fear of the fighters/shuttles snubbed to it vaporizing everything?
I've heard the suggestion of using hardlocked rotors as docking clamps as they are completely stable in-flight. Do those CLANG when connecting/disconnecting?

>decide the check it out
>mfw

I think those cannons might be a little bit OP

MACs have almost always been considered WMDs in science fiction.

Consider the Halo fiction.
Ships had so many failsafes that they typically wouldn't allow themselves to fire if there was a chance of a MAC missing its target, and why Jorge was shocked when an in-atmosphere firing was approved in Halo: Reach.

and this is why using mass-drivers in- or near orbit of planets is banned in international laws

Alone again on Friday night, /egg/men? hahaha

what about composite ammo?

youtube.com/watch?v=nUfwM-Mufb8

what am i looking at

You're looking at the sky from inside the hole made by a single shot from a MAC

Which one?

oh fug my brain didn't comprehend it was actually inside the hole, i thought it went through or some shit.

Spengies serb ip plz

192.168.1.1

Beat me to it

127.0.0.1

It's Friday, why is /egg/ this ded?

Holiday weekend in Burgerland.

This one steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=752716807

>celebrating labor day
Ew.

...

>tfw the one time i actually need advice is when there's LITERALLY NOBODY ON

Seconding Labor Day is a lame holliday and I still have to fucking work Monday

>all that spaghetti
>no fuel
Impressive, but also disgusting

I have to work Monday also. I won't even get paid holiday pay.
>12.50/hr in Seattle.

It hurts to live.

No holiday pay here either

Haven't missed much, /egg/ factorio players are complete casuals.

>A small ship has no fucking chance against a bigger ship
I miss BDLS' serb so much sometimes.

>HV harvester module destroys meteorites at lightning fucking speed
one little change to make harvesters actually pick up ore would make HVs useful and vessel mining a thing and solo mining so much less painful

...

That is so funny. My bosses are Russian immigrant.

Anyway, something /egg/ related. Someone send help!

hey, empyrion fags, any pve space and planet with gold deposits you remember?

>half of all things on main bus only on one side of belts
So I was right, bothering to cram in belt-filling splitters. Noice.

dalos has gold deposits, surface is pve but orbit is pvp

orbit's been safe for the most part though, only hostiles I've seen so far are a couple tiny stations with flak guns that I just dismantled

I'll just go deep mine Dalos when nobody's on, then.

Yep. Essentially doubles your belt throughput if you're not retarded, and understand how shit gets loaded off of belts.

Then we get into two belt or more configurations using switching and mixing via splitters, or other fun shit.

Belts are fucking great.

>project was cancelled because the guys making this wanted to do it on a much, much, MUCH larger scale using nukes instead of normal explosives

you'd be perfectly fine doing it now, m8

this is the only thing in orbit at the moment

Yeah but, even with a mega CV I feel uneasy.

I cannot possibly foresee how that could bite anyone in the ass

This have to be a bait.

user
have you perchance lost the ability to detect sarcasm?
that's not a good thing to lose.
you might accidentally fall for one of those things that makes mustard gas

>153706376
You shouln't of tooken the bait, ano.

I'm getting too autistic for this shit.

you must go more autistic
until you have become the autism
at that point you can apply autism to anything, and everything
and do fine

>153707435
Its okay, bait posts like that are a diamond dozen, Your bound to reply to one evenchually.

I mean.
Project Orion, if used in space, would actually be a (hilariously dangerous and insane) viable solution for getting around. Consider the sheer fucking weight/energy ratio a nuclear bomb would have in terms of propulsion.

Does the spengies shield mod protect against unfriendly grinding?

It protects against all physical changes to the grid.

Neat.

Are you saying it does or does-not protect against hostile grinders?
In Ced's serb, friendly grinding is not hampered at all, but I've yet to grind an opposing faction's shielded grid so I don;t know.

We got an interstellar rift server that we use? I want to play with some eggs.

I can't help but think it'd be extremely wasteful, though
I mean, wouldn't it use the energy of the nuke much more efficiently if detonated inside a normal, if incredibly oversized, rocket engine bell?

what's that

No, you focus the nuke.

Yes the end result is something horrifying when weaponized.

Design a rocket engine bell that could tank A FUCKING NUKE and NASA would literally send interns to gobble your knob every day for the rest of your life because of the material, structural, and other breakthroughs that would be needed to do that shit.

So shaped nuclear detonations?
neat
Now I want some kind of cutting device that operates on that principle on a small scale

It's a game, similar to starmade. We've discussed it here before.

I just popped on to check it after leaving it a few months and the progress has blown my mind, it's looking pretty damn polished.

There's no "real" engineering but it's still fun enough.

Project Orion would use what basically amounts to a shaped charge. Only with nukes.

Also
>detonating a nuke inside an anything
>expecting the anything to survive unless it's like a mile thick

Nigger you what

T H I C C rockets

Impossible. Smallest scale you get is a huge device for propelling Orion-type spacecraft. Largest scale cracks the moon and is the only viable weapon we have against ayys
