>avorion is cool but every important part of the game is shit
hmm

that's right user
flying around a huge galaxy exploring mining and shooting it up is cool
its too bad the core gameplay is trash

stepping outside voxels and engineering for a moment, how does abortion fare against rebel galaxy, especially in terms of combat, trucking, bumming around dicking factions over with agressive trades

some new balance patch for FtD. Nice that they made non-shield defence more plausible.

Aw dangit.

Finally good news

How do you shoot something going 200+ m/s

just give a very big lead

No shit sherlock but how does one accomplish that in-game?

Railguns, lasers, reverse-built PACs (instead of capping the tubes you leave them "open")

bullet spam

Is My Summer Car a good edutainment if I'm planning to buy my first car soon?

I don't know shit about cars, but I want to at least learn simple repairs to reduce the cash drain.

I'm no magic electronic word book physician but I have an idea for stable infinite speed in Spengies.

For external frames of reference, every object traveling at a havok unstable speed has a simplified collision box drawn around it and a line drawn in the direction of thrust.

Any object approximately one minuet ahead intersecting the line based on trajectory and velocity has an impact precalculated based on a low rez version of the collision boxes of both objects then to compensate for the lower definition impact a randomized volumetric sphere of destruction is applied based on mass and speed of the impacting object

For internal frames of reference over an unstable speed, anything inside the collision box is treated as separate from the game map and stationary from it's own "dimension" until it slows down or impacts something. The game map is projected to it but only the collision box is interacting with the map at speed. To simulate acceleration gravity planetary gravity is applied against the direction of thrust proportional to thruster speed.

Could it work?

or just use the pac end tubes

it could but not in hands of keen
some time ago i proposed to them almost the exact same solution, but with slight refinement (a vector and a cone for future collisions), on top of that they could make hyperspace travel (not jumping, but going into dimension of yellow thunders) where everything is scaled differently, so 1m there is 1km normalspace, making possible even faster travel, better ftl than jump and hyperspace battles, where if you don't have a hypersail, or some hyperstabilization on grid it immediately exits to normalspace (imagine getting part of ship blown off, then it immediately vanished because it can't maintain hyperspace presence)

How much money would it take to wake Ced/N3xus up to make this

way more than i currently have, but if anyone gets to it i may be able to help. I have 0 experience with modding per se, but I did work as a programmer, c# isn't alien to me either

Reminder that the full spengies source code is on github
github.com/KeenSoftwareHouse/SpaceEngineers

is that their subtle way of saying "we fucked up, take our game and improve it for us please oh god"

yes

but they fucked that up and it's the old 32-bit code iirc

god damnit

Goddamnit.

Hey
New remcast Pls
Comfy Saturday job with lots of little comfy busywork in the back but no comfy remcast to listen

user. No.

Soon.

Good stuff. We'll see how this goes

...

Missiles, lasers and crams really got kicked in the dick. They were already pretty easy to counter, now that different shield types don't interfere with each other those attacks might be useless.

PAC requires it's own unique counter-shield(?) so it's only got one possible counter while all other weapons have at least 2

>RAMdalf the Grey

eded

Looks like one of my old thinkcenters.

>Air gap effective AC increased to 400 (was 20)

while it's not really an /egg/, it's a decent way of at least learning what parts (usually, relatively) go where in a car
i know i learned a bit more about Veeky Forums shit from it, although really, everything's a lot more complicated than it makes it out to be, and a lot more tedious IRL as well
/mscg/ back when, it was chill as fuck

>airgap

dead

Always

>Return of the 2fast2hit
>Big ships can ignore (IGNORE!) small ships if they have enough power output because shields can be 100% effective if you have enough power

Meeeeeeh

I am liking the HP increases though.

Youtube seems far more helpful for real life car repairs.

Negated by the anti-energy shields is what.
When you're going 250m/s in an evasive pattern you can basically ignore cannons, so you can put all your shield energy into telling the only things that threaten you to fuck off.

Been on a several month hiatus from egg and spengies
Did anyone gas the keen yet?
Are windows still all scratched up and dirty?

Nice.

New tynk

HUD just changed. I'm not sure about windows because I don't really use them. Not good for fighting. If I'm not behind three layers of heavy armor then I don't feel safe.

Nice microgun, but where's the BOOM?

Speaking of which I'm designing a new attack ship in creative for frankys.space, which just got wiped again. Going for the 8000 block limit.

Posting before obsolesence hits

Nice framerate you got there

Is there an image like this but for engineering?

Not yet.

>If I'm not behind three layers of heavy armor then I don't feel safe.
That may be true, but wide sweeping windows are max comfy. The patrician choice is a high visibility open bridge as well as an armored interior bridge

I didn't spawn the wall.

How?

Better?

No

NOW we're talking.

Not quite sure how you managed to fuck "not going down" up in the absence of gravity, but I have to assume that your PID settings are crap.

Either that or you forgot to add roll authority so your unbalanced thrust causes downward pitch.

well
i guess the thrust balance is horrible with the differently colored front part beeing a turret

i`ll try a balanced thrust chassis next

...

>Page 10 ded

you deserve it for daring to consort with circles

I wonder what kind of aircraft this could be.

ground craft

burrow through the earth

strike the dirt

!!FUN!!

THAT BETTER NOT BE PROJECT PLUTO

>he doesnt build space gunships

Obvious harrier fuselage is obvious.

>he's building anything ANYTHING other than space battleships

It's the best defensive design though, all turrets have equal coverage of the others.

soon
soon

but first i shall gather experience on smol shibbs

>Crossouts supposed to be going open beta really fucking soon

>devs wont say anything and just refuse to talk to anybody

Waste of the block limit to build a fashion bridge.

I didn't know that compact repair blocks had this shine when in space

Underrated post

The latest revision of my anti-laser missile, cut down the warhead to 25 grams of platinum and 250 mg of nitrocellulose. It's not a very powerful explosion, but at the speeds it gets up to its plenty to rip apart radiators and tear through armor. I also renamed it from the Krakatoa to the Tunguska, since it's more of a kinetic that uses an explosive charge to spread its payload than a proper flak.

who /endlesssky/ here?

Not me. I haven't really looked into it though. Give me the rundown.

I like transporting high value deadline cargo in a suped up liner with high speed jump engines

is spess, but is not /egg/

Good game, brittle mission code. Prompts are occasionally written just ambiguously enough to accidentally fuck up a long mission line because you were declining the mission when you thought you were chatting.

It is a strange, wingless Harrier that maneuvers entirely by thrust vectoring.
