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.

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.

I am very happy to announce that I finished the largest portion of the engine!



And EXTREMELY pissed to note that when stood vertically as intended, it stands at 303 meters tall! Apparently I made an error when making the slanted portion with the heat sinks and maneuvering thrusters! (it should have been a 1/1 angle, but instead I made it 1/2!) So that section needs to be completely remade. Shit.

Owch.

But good effort

That sucks.


I really should get back into ship building...

Solution: Get a world height mod to add an extra 256 blocks or whatever. You don't need it to be drastic, but it would save you a lot of time.

There are none for any recent versions of Minecraft, remember?

Which doesn't make any sense to me at all, but does indeed seem to be the case. Not that I have any problem with downgrading even as far as 1.6 if necessary, but does anyone have one for 1.3? It would be useful for my cruiser.

I like it. It's rather cute.

That's what she said.

No it isn't.
