Enjoy.

 

now its a deal , all grey areas is where U can put something inside

 

You do know that the developer twitter feed appears on the right under the rather obvious title Developer Tweets, right below your little profile window and the community links tab, whenever your under the main forums header, right? Right? RIGHT?

 

Now I finally have a use for the npc spawners

 

The newer designs actually look pretty jagged and meh

All over the place.. Not what I was picturing when I first heard about ships expanding in size.

Personally hoping they get much more polish by the time we actually see them.
(which I'm sure they will)

 

How does one upgrade the ship though?

 

I'm still hoping for complete room-modules that you can slot into the floorplan. For some reason I really want a spaceship greenhouse. Sure, building your own out of blocks is cool and all, but I'm lazy.

 

Upgrades seem good for single player just have to be careful for multiplayer for the freeloaders who want all 5000+ bricks of Impervium ore.

But I can see roleplay servers turning these upgrades into themed areas like a traveling bazaar which other players can visit or for pvp raidable ships.

 

I bet it's going to cost more flue to run bigger ships

I'd love to see more colors and styles to choose from in the future rather then just size alone.

 

It's nice we're being given the ability to upgrade our ships, but I personally think they should work on it a little more. The current design for the ships could really be worked on in my opinion.

 

Was hoping for modular upgrades instead, but this will have to do in order to fix my hoarding problem.

 

As people have said, modular would've been nice but this seems like it will work as well.

I'm really curious about the space combat though, even though it's something that's far (far) away. I joked about a Life Force/Gradius-like mini game way back when, and now I actually dare to hope.

 

They are good enough, though I've dreamed about customed appearance, armor (Incremental Armor Scheme, All-or-nothing Armor Scheme, paper armor but have SAM and CIWS, or even have energy shield), weapon types (VLS, mass driver, wave cannon, laser turret, etc), turret position (That barrage is too thin! Port-side gunner, what are you doing?), and so on.

 

To be fair, these upgrades seem to mostly concern the size of the ship. They could technically pop off the turrets and give the players some hard points to select from when placing turrets themselves. And I'm assuming we could get shield generators as well at some point. Wellll, that's of course assuming that the space combat makes it into the game, otherwise that might be a tad unnecessary.

 

I really love that you are able to upgrade your ship! I know that the building on planet aspect is going to suffer a bit from it, but it is a space exploration game so i totally want a bigger ship! My ship is my home and a planet is something to be conquered not lived on! Can't wait for that update.

 

Are the other races going to have the same room sizes like the human ships?

 

for a second there, i thought the title said: "here are the upcoming sh*t updates" and i was gonna be like dude wtf

 

How would he/she. Just registered today, to drop by and ask a question in caps, because caps are awesome

On topic though, I really like it. Though I wonder what that'll look like in regards to my Hyotl Magikarp ship.

 

There is no reason we cant have these static ship designs, and have special blocks we can craft and build our own ships from scratch with at the same time. As i have seen, there are ppl who don't want to bother building things. I can respect that. Both types of player can be happy.
