    Come join us in Ark, Fet. A lot of the same gameplay elements are shared by both games. Plus, we also have new toys! :glee:

    does it function as both a connector and door? how would that even functionally work? usually i just place a door with a connector next to it.

    Door is a separate block. So it is actually a door block on a connector block 3 blocks at the moment. The door and 2 connectors 1 is 1 x 1 the other is 2 x 1. In size. Each grid does need it's own air pressure. I guess oxygen doesn't move between the grids. Haven't done to much with it yet.

    I do like the new weapon effects. Also It's kind awesome when enough force sends a ship spinning. Like it being hit with rockets. Or warheads.

    I have to give them credit; they are still hard at work at this.

    And it looks like we may be getting more advanced AI now.



    I don't know of any official announcement, but if they keep improving on the multiplayer, new player, and PvE experience, we might actually have a "game" here for us afterall.

    can't recall if I posted it earlier but there is a pretty good shield mod out there. The defense shields. I don't think it is super OP compared to the other one (where it adds shield HP to each block and each generator adds more HP.)

    This one actually makes a sphere around the ship (and friendly ships can pass through. Byy friendly I mean same faction).

    [​IMG]

    (ship is not mine) but that is what the shield looks like. And only 2 blocks needed. A shield emitter (on the outside of the ship) and a controller block. Shield strength is based on the total HP of all the blocks on the ship.

    Oh also there is a (station only) air shield block in that mod. Looks the same but keeps air in. Pressurization lost if the shield goes down.

    What I have been working on.

    The CVA (attack carrier) Deliverer of the Word. In order is the starboard side (port has red lights instead of green), Bow, Stern then from the top. An a closer shot of the bridge. Most of the turrets are geared more for anti-missile and small ship work. Maybe 12 turrets on the whole ship that are better suited to large ships. Also that shield fairly balances out the battleship guns. Another ship I made could take 2 hits from those with the 3rd bringing the shield down (but little to no damage to the ship because of how far away from the ship the shield is).

    Currently has 8 Javelin/Apostle fighters with space for another 6 fighters. Also 2 helipads for utility/logistics ships or ships like dropships.

    The JavelinApostle (same fighter just slight variations like one has aircraft landing gear with wheels. both retractable gear and one has a different style rocket launcher then the other. Same ammo just fires 2 rockets in succession). Current loadout is 4 missiles from torpedo mod (2 standard warhead 2 nukes), 7 gatling guns (can't see 2 on the images but they are on the wing hardpoint like the rocket pods, 4 rocket launchers (javelin has vanilla launchers apostle has the mod launchers and wheel landing gear), and 1 reloadable rocket launcher. Hydrogen and Atmospheric thrusters. The penetrator block on the rocketlaunchers and gatlings under the wing is non-explosive one (and those can't be launcher). But since it is a merge block those could be dropped and replaced with missiles.

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Might put the Achilles (below image) (space and Atmosphere version just one has Ion thrusters instead of Atmo.) This has 4 gatling guns, 1 gatling turret, 1 reloadable rocket launcher and 8 missiles (2 nukes 6 standard). The Javelin could carry 8 miisiles but I went the other way with gatlings and rocket launcher.

    [​IMG]

    and the 4 javelins in one of the hangers. (you can really only see 2 of them but all 4 are lined up) This image you can see the wing hardpoint Gatlings. And yes all the fighters also have the defense shield. Just makes them more survivable. Shield comes down fairly easily though.

    [​IMG]

    And aside from some interior stuff (mostly lighting) and painting it is all done. The Deliverer does have a vehicle bay. Also the only real way to get to the ground. Couldn't figure out where to put a boarding ramp aside from the vehicle ramp.
