Progress on Ships!

those look pretty nice. but, as an Apex i would personally rather if you posted the Apex ship tiers. but hey, im just happy for any info.

 

That looks cool!!! But I have to agree, a ship that flies in circles and forgets the starmap every 10 seconds isn't practical.

(It reminds me of Megaman Legends a bit)

(OH, HMAS Finding Nemo...ok, I'm done)

 

Ha..kittens and internet...the best. yes wait until the update if nothing comes from it, I'll join you on your rants

 

Whoah! If you keep this up I will NEVER have any reason to even think of playing something other than Floran, everything about them is just so spot-on! I completely adore the new models for it and I can barely wait for the new update, any ideas on when this may be realeased?

 

Just change it to a Magikarp and it'll be golden.

 

Beautiful work on the ships!

On the new hylotl design, I immediately thought "Tiger by the tail!"

As for the florans and the whole flowers in space thing, well... just add in a terran ground vehicle with a large claw arm up top for epic terran vs floran combat. Fits with having wizard staves in as well.

But really, and this is many hours of SS13 speaking here, if I see anything holding a wizard staff its kill on sight. I almost murdered that one glitch merchant with the wizard hat on out of reflex.

I kind of agree here. Maybe a thorny vine as a ram?

 

I haven't played this game since it came out. I been playing ps4 not sure when I will play again. maybe when it's done being in beta I like penis. Looks awesome though keep it up!

 

I can not wait for the staffs!
I love the ships and want to see more. Curious about the customization options and how that will work but so far looks awesome.
Can't wait for the next up date.

 

wow

 

now that would be freakin awesome. My little Floran guy demands more skeletons. and some red blood painted here and there.

Stabby stabby.................


The Hylotl ship I love the blue color of, but I do miss the beautiful asian themed walls and lights of the original. This new style seems to generic. But in comparison to that higher tier red fish with giant eyeball...yeah... xD

Maybe the higher tier Hylotl can start to show a little asian-inspired design in it? That would be cool...

 

oh cheese! i just noticed something. the top turret for the Floran tier 8 needs to be moved up a bit. it kinda would hit the ship if it were to 'fire' .w.;;;

 

I like the fish, they could have elongated it for higher tiers. but my favorite ship mods are biosphere and hylotl ambassador. so it's all a matter of finding what you like and using that.

 

Holy shit CANNONS!

 

Love the new Hylotl design. The Floran ship is cool, but I agree that the Avian section (and the greenhouse) looks a bit out of place (yes, I know they scavenge parts so I understand).
I still doubt I'll be using default ships though. Just bulking them up doesn't seem like the best idea to me.

I've said this before, but I really think that ships should either be purchased (at a space station/outpost? On a planet from a suspicious used ship salesman? ) or upgraded down different paths (after fixing it up of course). The reason I mention purchase is because it would make a little more sense (and possibly allow multiple designs) with my idea; ships should also focus on the way a player progresses. If we are getting space combat, then fighters/bombers would make a good choice for fighters and a scout ship (with better conversion rate for fuel?) for explorers, while something like a freighter might be the better choice for someone who focuses on farming and needs the extra space. I realize that this also means a lot more work, but it'd allow for players to have some diversity among their ships AND something that can contribute to their choice of progression.

I'm not complaining ( I really do love the ship designs) or begging, it's just an idea. If it comes down to it maybe someday if it's possible (and I ever sit down long enough to even find out if it is) I'll try to make it into a mod. I doubt it though because I'm way to easily distracted... I used a lot of parenthesis.

 

SO. EXCITED.

o ^o *flails his arms* EXCITEEEEEDDDD.

 

I'm kind of shocked actually, but, the ships look terrible at the end. it's all cat and pastey like. just over and over again. Could it be a little more streamlined as far as room placement. I know I'm looking at a Floran ship but it's just organized badly. *shrug* sorry for the bad opinion, let the hate fly.

 

for a second i thought that last word was a pun on another fish pokemon

"bad opinion"

son

 

I feel like the new hylotl ship design looks kinda bland compared to the old one...

 

I don't think you're wrong on that feeling. I think the repetitive inside background texture doesn't help. Would be better if they went back to the background walls that the original ships have, instead of this pipe and random machine design.

Still...I can definitely live with what they give us at the end. Just having ship upgrades is awesome. And if the floran avian pyramid thing remains, hopefully I can just recolor it myself?

In the end, I don't want the starbound team to think I don't love and appreciate the game they are making and the effort they put into it.

 

While this looks awesome, I'm a bit saddened that the design for the Hylotl ships appears to have strayed from the japanese aesthetics.
