Progress on Ships!

No offense, but I still feel like the floran ship doesn't have enough ssstab

 

they look awesome uber excited

 

I'm glad there is progress on ships. I am sad the progress is a phoned in cut and paste adventure. It likely took someone one hour to assemble the visual aspect of these ships, and that is just disappointing. When you look at the last tier of ship, it is a sad hodge podge of rooms that have no thought put into the layout with bits of tat stuck around the outside of them. If you are going to stagger the layout of the rooms at least try and have a reason (wiring, duct work, electronics, use your imagination).

 

Looks good and.. FINALLY!
But...

i think the same way, the room placement should contain a bit more thought.

Still i'm glad to see that there is some progress goin' on.

 

Have you thought that those reasons might perhaps come LATER down the line?

 

i think to! they have just moved to the UK!

 

sweet now i can RULE THE WORLD AS A ALMIGHTY WIZARD!!! also love that florans get a greenhouse ontop of their ship only fitting

 

Awesome! Playing mostly Floran and Hylotl I must say these screenshots kinda turned me on... nah just kidding But damn this new style looks great. For sure I'm gonna miss the asian style of the previous sushi ship, but the new color just looks much relevant with their cities and furnitures, but that's just for me of course. I don't have concerns about the avian part of the floran ship, except for the color, it looks too neat. Maybe by giving this yellow pointy part a "used" or "vintage" paint it would be better for the general look of the complete ship.

At the end, and as I saw earlier in this post, it's gonna be even harder to wait for that update... You're so cruel to tease us like this Molly!

 

FCS should be officially implemented in the game.

 

I am going to vote a resounding NO on that. Some mods should stay mods.

 

That would throw off all lore. I respectfully disagree, if you wish to build your own ship then you should use the mod.

 

I rarely play using the default ships, however, there was clearly some work put into the ships. i would hope we would get the ability to adapt our ships to our personal style. Maybe 'buying; the pieces for the next upgrade through quests, i personally would prefer a globular ship or spoked torus shaped ships. with a central control center. after all, at relativistic speeds you really don't have a chance to pilot the ship manually, and any less than that you'd take years to go between stars. so it would be smply a matter of aesthetics..

 

That would work in a game without lore.

 

how does lore affect ship shapes?

 

By each race having BUILDING standards. In case you haven't noticed the various layouts they all corespond to the core lore of each race. Avians eventually get giant pyramids, Glitch eventually get castles, Humans get battleships and so on and so forth

 

The Avian aspect confuses me. I wonder how much we will actually be able to choose? Perhaps you do not HAVE to pick that part?

 

Oh hey for those against the Hylotl style change. Behold

This was how far they got on the Hylotl ship progression before they realized that NOPE this isn't gonna work. Taken from Rho's twitter

 

*Mind Blown*

 

Well, I think that they COULD make it work, they'd just not be able to re-use most assets, and it would take a lot more work.

 

Given how people are already hounding them for taking their time with the next big update I think they made the right choice. I'm sure modders can work this in at some point
