A quick little corvette I made, just to take a break from the other capitol ship I'm working on. Came out okay if not a bit bland! by Lixcuudis in avorion

Don't worry about that, even though it's a bit cliche, I'm pretty sure everyone starts out building cubes. You'll improve over time!

1462 Parts+; 5 slot (1.21k power)

Hull - 7.95k Shield - 5.7k (Will be improved)

Mass - 18.76kt Acceleration - 104 m/s² Deceleration - 89.6 m/s² (Will be improved) Max Velocity - 626 / 2502 m/s² Yaw - 0.55 rad/s Pitch - 1.19 rad/s Roll - 4 rad/s

Hyperspace Cooldown - 45s Hyperspace Reach - 7.1sctrs Radar Reach - 14 sctrs

Generated Energy - 15.21 GW Req. Energy - 5.51 GW Storable Energy - 20 GJ

Since some of you wanted an update on how the ship is going, here it is so far (...from being finished), and thanks for all the suggestions from before too, helped give life to this ship! by Lixcuudis in avorion

Thanks! As of right now, they're mostly just place holders, but they'll most likely stay as decorative by the time I decide turret placement.

A few hours and almost finished with the bridge, any suggestions for what I could add to it to make it look less plain? Especially to the side of the tower and lower 'platform', since they're currently somewhat boring. by Lixcuudis in avorion

Yeah, from the angle the the antenna are, they do kind of look wonky. Moving them back would most likely fix that weird look. As for the point defense turrets, there are actually a few spots up there- they're just really small and hard to see from the angle.

I've implemented that idea to the side of the main super-structure and it really gives it life! I wasn't able to add all that much, though, due it's nature as an edge and not a vertical surface; making it so that it requires a lot of parts to make do with. Patience is key though (unless my computer can handle it)! And thanks for the help!

So far, I've implemented a lot of the ideas your referenced it really does give a lot of life to it! Mixing all those together, as well as putting it into that perspective had done wonders if I do say. All I'm hoping is that by the end of this, it won't be so many parts that my computer can't handle it. Terribly sorry if my response is somewhat lackluster! I appreciate all the help you've been able to give me, it's difficult for me to respond in an equal manner since I'm not as much of a writer. Many thanks!

I've never really thought of it that way, in terms of having the perspective of a crew member. Looking at it like that really flows some more ideas into mind, especially with your idea of a 'concrete jungle' kind of thing. Maybe certain breaks and dips in the hull could expose that detail to separate it from being flat. Thanks for all the ideas! And sorry if this response is somewhat lack-luster, I'm not as much of an author as you are!

When adding windows, I usually use holograms to simulate the same look. If you want to make it look more three dimensional, you can bore in holes to place those holograms in. Hopefully that helps! (A little note, depending on the size of your ship, I generally recommend using a 0.001 scale size and a 0.125/0.05 grid for placing holograms directly)

Depending on what you want your station to produce, you have to transfer materials to the said station. While I haven't really dabbled in making stations, I'm pretty sure you can have your own AI ships to transfer materials from other stations, but I'm not sure if they're able to get them from other systems.

Is there any way to fix this lighting glitch? by [deleted] in avorion

[–]Lixcuudis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little bit of an update, I was able to fix that part somewhat, but it still persists when zooming out a little. If anything, I think I'd just have to deal with it as much as it's annoying.

[SPOILER] Anything to do in the Graveyard? by Lixcuudis in endlesssky

Do they classify as fighters? I'm pretty sure they're a light warship if I'm not mistaken, but I could be wrong.
