Oh my. That's really something.

Edit: So I'm not just repeating the well deserved oohs and aahs here, which do you think works better between these two craft? On it's own I'd definitely say I think the top one works better but I'm not sure how well it would go together with the later upgrades, where the lower one is very awkward looking but I've got a rather clear idea of where I want to go next on it (namely, more bow).

I like top

I like the bottom one, but that's because I like my ships chunky.

Also, Mantizi Race Mod. Real simple right now, just contains the race, 10 hairstyles for each gender, three sets of new clothing, a ship, and relevant codex entries. They're essentially Floran right now, though that might switch to Apex until I get most of the stuff done since I like the Apex armors the most.

Feedback is appreciated, but otherwise, here's my work on these dudes so far. Requires this mod.

Tomorrow's going to be making changes based on feedback if I get any and starting in on weapons. Might do one of the late-game armors, too.

I also like the top one. Looks a bit better and less of a hassle to traverse for same ship space, plus a further upgrade from that of putting another large room in that empty spot in the middle could work. Spread out, then up feels less jarring than spread up than out like the lower ship would go.

They would have to do something like change it so 4/5ths of the blocks it breaks are permanently destroyed instead of breaking and following the player. Both for performance and probably balance reasons.

I think the top version feels more like a natural progression of your first ship. I think it just has a better rhythm to it, especially with the underslung cockpit (and is that a little lifter bot on the scaffolding between the two large bays? Perfect. :kimchi:) Are you thinking about pulling the bow out/forward if you were to upgrade the second one? If so, maybe you could do the same for the first, but go vertical instead of horizontal. My explanation is terrible so I made a quick mockup:

(so this is the upgrade to the top version you posted, so ship #3? n+1+1)
now that I look at it again the way I cut up the bow is kind of dumb. Maybe you could expand the scaffolding into a little hallway connecting the engine bay with the bow also, but anyway a big fat bow offset by the cockpit/bridge is cool to me, and I think feels in line with the original ship, whose blunted bow makes it feel like it's leaning that way anyway.

I like the top one better, but that's mostly just because the bottom one looks unfinished. I guess it may be intentional but it looks like the top of the ship doesn't have any hull plating and it makes it look bad.

However! I still say go with the bottom, bulkier one. It's more creative. There's tons of ships out there right now that look like the top one, let's get some variety in the ship design scene. :)

This is the kind of game where "progress" isn't the whole point really. If you enjoy exploring and building now, odds are you will enjoy exploring and building later. It's a make your own fun sandbox.
I have to agree. The point of the game, especially now, isn't to just get to the end and beat it. It's to enjoy the ride. The journey is more important than the destination, man.
If you're having fun playing it that's really what matters. I like taking my time on every new planet and just seeing what there is to see.

I'm not sure exactly, but are you planning on having an even more upgraded version? Like, is this stage 3 and there will be a stage 4? If so, I'd say go with the bottom version. It's a little more unique than the standard "ship" ship that we are seeing, and it could be easily built into something cooler. Like, adding on more to the bottom to make a more defined rudder section, or elongating the top cargo bay and making it a big 'ole open hanger?

The top one is cool too, but it's just a tad... I dunno... bland. It goes from your original design and turns it into just another horizontally aligned rocket ship. However, potential next evolution could be sticking a front rudder on the long nose section?

Either way, your design is cool and I'd be very interested in seeing what happens with it.

I'm enjoying making stuff and building huge bases for our group, though it feels kind of like sand painting with the wipes going on.

Having a space-faring backpack helps out when exploring moons and asteroids, but you know what it doesn't help with? Space. If you go up above the atmosphere on your own planet it still gets ridiculously cold! I'm assuming this is a bug?

I am actually. Much like with what seems to be planned for the default ships at this stage the vessel would be half-way to the maximum level, as their appear to be 6-tiers of space ship.

Working on a mod that adds "oxystones" - basically crystals that you can place that grant air in an AoE like a campfire grants warmth. I thought about using the crystals from FFV as the spritework for it - do you guys think it looks out of place? (I'll probably make it half this height, though)

Machine pistols are hilariously overpowered in alpha sector with Anime Schoolgirl's modpack. I have one with an rof of 15 and 1 energy cost that does 2-4 damage (averaging 3ish) instead of the listed 1, giving me something close to 45 dps instead of the listed 15. It also juggles anything I catch in midair.

They become less OP as you get to later sectors.

Haha, that's awesome. I was thinking about the possibility of such an item, but I didn't think there would be a way to do it. I like the crystal I suppose, but the perspective is isometric on it, and the rest of the game is pretty much side-view or near to it.

If nothing else, it would be cool to use the bunker fan art/animation for it, since that'd fit in seamlessly in some sort of asteroid base.

That could work, and it'd make the recipe easier (just some iron bars). I was thinking of glass to make the crystal.

For example, for one of the pieces of graffiti in the USCM human prison colony your character observes that their sensors indicate the blood it's drawn with is Hylotl blood.

Sorry if I missed anything, I scanned a handful of pages back in case this is a known issue.

Is there a current glitch with hosting a server? I and my friend both tried hosting, port forwarded and all, messing with firewalls both on and off, but just couldn't connect to each other at any point. We were both able to run the game and connect to our own servers while they were up. All googling just brought me "are you SURE your ports are forwarded" forum chatter. :\
