I turned the main thruster on its side so it would be easier to work on. So this is a side-on view of the main thruster using Rei's Minimap. The shapes in the picture are all things that are on the side of the thruster. Any more constructive questions

Yes: why doesn't the thruster cover have a lower edge, and why is the back also on an angle? (That probably doesn't make any sense).

You are actually putting thought into the detailing; you are a legend.

I have to take back what I recently said about deploying Mac as a ship designer if I were to build a RL space empire, because you make ships look equaly as good as he does, but have them look more industrial-style and expedient, making the potential price-use ratio better for you ships.

In short: *buys all ur blueprints*

Difference is we'll be making ships like Billy's in a few hundred years, while you'll have a to wait a few thousand before ships like mine become possible. (A rough guess, but you get the point.)

A few thousand years? Ugh, I don't want to have to stay alive that long.

I want to live to see humans discover their first alien race. After that, I'm good.

Back on topic: Billy, I've built my own ship using your style. Do you mind that I post it in my ship thread, or will the hours I spent on it go unfruitful?

Just equally?! Haha, jk...thanks for the compliments, I appreciate it. When the mod comes, I'd be happy to provide certain blueprints, for a price.

Of course you can and should share your new ship! I never had any problem with you using my building style (I'm actually flattered by it), I was just annoyed that you copy and pasted part of my ship without asking and then didn't give me credit. I look forward to any new ships on the forum!

Yeah, that probably wasn't my smartest move. Still, it did work well.
And thanks!


Also, I've started some work on the texture pack (as it is outdated). So far I haven't done much: I changed the redstone texture, added a door handle, and added the "on" state for the redstone lamp, but more textures will be coming.

Laserbilly, did you ever send me the texture pack file for me to upload onto Mediafire?

I've got it on my thumb-drive, I'll shoot it over to you tomorrow.


Coming along slowly...

The thorn-coloured patch with the two brown squares and grey circle doesn't match the one on the mini-map.

When this mod comes out, you may just get my contracts for shipbuilding.

@ stufuzzycat:

I just sent you the texturepack file! Looking forward to adding it!

@ Mack:

What are you talking about, crazy-pants? Of course it does!

@ Error:

That sounds great! But instead of actual shipbuilding, could we just make it ship design? Because for me, the actual building is a lot less fun than the design!

Hah! Yeah, that could work. Plus, if our two little nations work together on FC, then you get good medical stuffz (starships will be damned until I can get that stuff ingame) and I get awesome spaceshipz.

Waitwaitwait!
You might consider becoming an independent ship Designer who works for the ones you get in contract with.
That way anyone can have awesome Laserbilly-style ships while you get to have all the benefits of being independent. (like can make a quick escape without being judged for it if the shipyard you´re currently working in is under attack.)

Back on the topic of the actual ship, all I have to say is I am now ashamed I called my ship a dreadnought, that is ridiculous size, and is ridiculously awesome, and when FC is actually finished, I am staying WELL AWAY from you.

Now I have to try my own real dreadnought, which will be rubbish, compared to that beast.

You should see the new Dreadnought I'm building. It's... slightly... bigger.

You can also see most of the shell from mine on the server; it's right next to the spawn and it's (presently) 1.2km in length, probably with another 200m by the time it's actually done.

Eh, dreadnoughts are for squares.

Especially because all of these dreadnaughts are really small cruisers.

Oh come on, you wouldn't consider a 900 meter ship to be a dreadnaught??? At the very least it's a HEAVY cruiser! Maybe if I had a handful of like-minded helpers I could produce a 2+ km ship within a month or two. But as it is now, if I build a ship within spitting distance of 1 km in less than 3 months then I should be able to call it whatever I want! (though, between me and everyone reading this, I don't actually intend to call this a dreadnaught, but a Battlecarrier instead).

@ prototype

Don't beat yourself up about your ship, it looks really good! I would at least call it a cruiser, and your carrier is nothing to shake a stick at either! Once you get your style down and put your mind to it, I'm sure your dreadnaught will look great too!

edit: I confused you with Julo about the carrier (there are a lot of new ships lately!), I think his first dreadnaught is something to look forward to also!

Also, stufuzzycat has uploaded my 16x16 version of the dueteros texturepack! Here's a link:

If you need helpers I have an old server I can boot up, but the only problem could be time zones (if your not GMT or close to GMT then there could be a problem), and if you want world edit that's already on the server.

I not sure if any ships here have been built by more than one person, but if anyone would be willing to help build a truly awesome dreadnought/ other bigass ship, I might start a separate thread for such a project.
