Here are the upcoming ship-updates

Personally I think they should just give us the engine backing and cockpit, then let us fill in the rest, maybe later in the game say... find a Spaceport hovering around a planet on the map, visit it and BAM, edit your own ship. Have rules in place of course... muse be fully closed or wont leave bay, etc.

 

Teleport!

 

Crap... I just posted this. Did not know someone else did it first.

 

Heh, it's alright, it happens (I was just in your thread!). You could easily have a bit of a clan in the last two ship sizes. Hopefully they're a bit expensive to upgrade, they should be. Give us another reason to save our pixels.

 

Tiy has talked about a better nav system with savable coordinates besides your home.

 

Not bad but the shape looks like it could be improved. It should be more... ship shaped.

 

I sorta see what you're saying, the bottleneck before the cockpit, right?

 

Is there a way to add big windows? I want a cantina type area on my ship where my crew and I can relax and look down upon our impending/recent conquests!

 

I like the expansions, but I feel like each race's expansions should be unique. The Floran ship should "grow" its expansion wings (to represent how it's moving away from simply being a stolen Apex ship to being a Floran one), the Glitch ship should symmetrically expand to appear like a floating castle, the Hylotl ship should "evolve" (fish -> bigger fish -> shark -> whale?), etc.

If they're all like the Human ship where it just grows bigger, I'll be disappoint. ):

 

They should add in the ability to have a docking port that you can open to suck out all inhabitants into the void of space, for some unwelcome wildlife, or just annoying cohabitants.

 

That would be really cool. I feel like they have an idea we want some more diversified ship options though, I saw Tiy looking at a few people's ship mods, like the minigrasshopper one or whatever that someone made as an alternative human starting ship. I think we'll get some standard stuff like this and probably some more special ship models eventually after more systems are fleshed out.

 

Also, this is just a hopeful aside, I really want for the Floran ship to grow more plant-y and Floran as it evolves, rather than just following the Apex evolution, with some vines/flowers on it.

 

Caged areas to keep wildlife...or maybe riddick would be fun. Hell a jail cell you can place npcs in would add good bounty hunter type side quest, or a scientist looking for some specific creatures to study.

 

Oi you, watch it! Nothing of the sort was intended!

Nice avatar by the way. ^_^

 

whelp guess i really have no reason to build on a planet with a ship that big. never run out of space. honestly most of the space seems like it wasted

 

You could probably find a wall that looks similar to a cage?

 

Me gusta.




Though.... it makes building stuff on a planet even less useful.

 

I have at penal colonies, I want a functioning prison/zoo to hold mobs and npcs in for bounty missions so to speak

 

Thats awesome! But will we see these guns in action?

 

This pleases me,

Step One: Get bigger ship
Step Two: Fill it full of livestock
Step Three: Reenact the entire series of Firefly with the livestock as the crew.

We are making progress.
