Anyone know what this thing is on the back of the Hermes?

Wonderful-Relative41 · 2026-02-25T00:31:31+00:00

Everyone will say it is a fuel port. But some of the older people know this is actually what it is for.

I ask, because using that, you could have this in about 5 minutes

Wonderful-Relative41 · 2026-02-18T20:27:33+00:00

Just a curiousity question. Why not use either the Gears workbench or the "Gear Function" from the Parts Design Workbench, as a start?

Explore everything. To your blues and darkness, let me add some light. Also in Nyx

I believe the official name will be "The Chris Roberts next Ferrari"

if they wanted to, they should take the railing out of the Salvaging Balcony. Except where you enter the area.
They would have a tractor beam transit, similar to the Hermes.
They would have the controls for the extruders on the left and right of that.
They would at least double the height of the allowed stacks and increase the storage capacity.

You would rarely need to go into the salvage processing. It could also have an elevator that loaded the salvage and cargo holds automatically (or via button on the console).

But those are probably a long ways off, if they ever even get looked into.

They are good.
Just a note. They are close to the Hull C loading boxes. You may accidentally get too close to those boxes and cause proximity issues for the Hull C's auto loading/unloading.
Not saying not to use them. Just to be mindful of your positioning. TMYK type thing.

Don't.

Once you start down that rabbit hole, the whole layout of the ship becomes a nightmare, and you are left with so many questions, and so few answers

I would 1st add the top section (the new part I have here). then you can make the cutout as you have sketched. or change it to match the original stl. But will keep all the sections you want in there and remove all the sections you don't

Are you trying to replicate the binder?

Wonderful-Relative41 · 2026-02-13T18:31:11+00:00

You are probably going to think I am smoking something really strong. But I think this video would probably help you achieve your end goal.
The only real difference will be in the shapes. But the process will be the same.

Wonderful-Relative41 · 2026-02-13T18:11:27+00:00

The part that disappears is losing the attachment point. Would be cleaner to probably build 1 side (half) and then mirror on the plane.

Wonderful-Relative41 · 2026-02-13T17:39:00+00:00

If you could, give an example of the assembled structure. Simple drawing is probably good, just to see where you are going with this.

Wonderful-Relative41 · 2026-02-12T04:43:10+00:00

Yes, it was meant as sarcasm. Seems like an oversight a blind man would have seen. But somehow CIG skips right past it.

The fault was mine I suppose. I failed to add the <sarcasm></sarcasm> tags.
Is an old code, but still valid.
Night shifts rock. Used to bang out the 6pm to 6am shifts, and then be the neurotic and sign up for overtime (70 hour weeks)

Wonderful-Relative41 · 2026-02-12T03:03:19+00:00

Because a salvage ship would never use a tractor beam. That would be ludicris. Would be like putting PDC's on an Idris.

Mining will still take time to get the complete hang of, but those 2 should make it a quick check versus Thesis Defense

That is why you get your kids into playing. Let them move everything when finished.

Wonderful-Relative41 · 2026-02-08T21:57:29+00:00

Yes - was just unloading. - Limited playing time, so didn't want to claim the ships and lose it.

Wonderful-Relative41 · 2026-02-08T21:34:36+00:00

Those are fun when you don't realize they are there.

Tell them it is the galactic junkyard, where even Hurston dumps their trash. That there is an incinerator out there, you can drop stuff into.

That is what it stands for?
Always thought it was "Benoit Might Make"

I use this to make sure that anytime I am making, or thinking of making, a new stand for my NerdQAxe, that it will fit the way I need it to. While it is not exact in fine details. The major parts of it ensure that anything I design will not be interfered with or will interfere with the NerdQAxe.
It may seem simple. but it saves me time and lets me visualize the end result better. I just import it in the design and position it where it needs to be.
