Tenebra Industries - Project Black Sun development log.

I lost the game. Darn you.

Speaking of MAC guns my brother almost got expelled from his school for making a gun the accelerates the projectile with a magnet, and he created it with the things that create the flash on cameras to provide the magnetic accelerator. He is a wonderful person

Your bro is now my new hero

Thanks. He even told me how to get the flash things for the magnet, you have to go to the places that sell disposable cameras and say you need some of the flash things for a science project, the stores just have them lying around cause they just throw them away once they are used, one of his friends got about 500 of them this way

How fast did the projectile travel, and how large was the gun/projectile?

I have to meet your brother, he seems like a boy (man?) after my own heart.

You are taking a very long time to finish this, I'm almost done my anti-black sun orbital cannon...how much have you done since the last update?

You ARE using MCEdit, right?

I haven't had time to put anything since the last time I touched it, over a month ago when I added the outline for the first of the six main engines.

There's going to be six of those things? How tall are they?

Around 50 blocks in diameter, although I might make it bigger now that I think of it.

What's the block ceiling? Do you plan to make a fairly long ship or what? Obviously your ship is going to be a monster, I just hope its a pretty monster.

OH yeah it'll be pretty.

My brother is a man, he is 21 (we were born 8 years apart and my birthday is in July, that gives you an idea of how old I am). I don't know the specifics, all I know is that my parents (who aren't strict at all) aren't very happy about what happened.

Do you already know what the finished product is going to look like? I just have no idea what a six-engine ship would look like. I hope I don't seem skeptical, I'm just really intrigued.

Yeah I know what it'll look like. I've got a drawing of what I'm aiming for here.

Good! Well hurry up and build it!

Or, put the world up for download, post the blue-print, and I can build it!

That's cool, what do you use, graph paper? I've spent at least 2 or 3 hours in the past day scribbling on a quadrille pad trying to come up with a freighter design that I like. I think I'm close, but the stupid engines still don't look right...

For this one I just used regular white paper, it's not a full detailed schematic, more of a sketch, and no Mackeroth you can't have it.

Then I shall cast ye out of Asgard, to your doom!

Wait, we have an Asgard?

Well, with a ship as big as what you appear to be going for, using with a sketch is probably the best option at this point anyway. Are you planning to just fill in the details later?

I'll fill it in as I go along.

Wow, that's crazy to me, I always try to have the whole thing planned out before I place the first block. Then again, I work from the outside in, so I guess I don't know what the insides are going to look like before I build it...

If I try to plan ahead, I'll get bored of it before having actually started it.

Same. I have these simple exteriors, then I do all the exterior detail, then I have an equally detailed interior.

Any Progress?
