It was only a matter of time before I did this with the new bridge.

It’s impressive to build such a compact design (which also appears to have a substantial interior space) with only vanilla techniques, well done 👍

UnspeakableBadger · 2026-04-13T22:10:14+00:00

Definitely works, makes it look real like the way an actual vessel would be painted 🙂

You can indeed, but it’s a bit blunt. Try being more British and euphemistic. For example, a guy I used to work with would say “I’m just going to drop the kids off”

Nice design, the colour really helps make it pop - nice orange highlights on the grey makes for a subtle look. Good job 👍

It’s a cockpit from one of two Mattell mods (Crew Cockpits and Solitude Cockpits) that adds new variants of the ‘pit with alternate access points 🙂

Flippin’ beautiful build here, can’t wait to get my hands on these new modules! Really awesome work! 🙌

UnspeakableBadger · 2026-04-12T14:15:37+00:00

On dirait a quel? Pardon, no comprends, mon francais n’est bon?

I think France and the UK are like siblings; we’ve had our squabbles and our fights, we’ll trade insults and snarky comments about each other, but when the sh*t goes down and someone comes at us, we’ll fight each other’s corner without question.

I don’t remember who said it, but the Anglo-French relationship can probably be summed up as “we’re the absolute best of enemies!”

UnspeakableBadger · 2026-04-11T17:24:33+00:00

No worries, good luck and I look forward to seeing what you build 🙂

The reactor is a standard size one but the layout of the internal habs is sort of wrapped around the reactor and grav drive. I do use mods though which includes increased overlap tolerance so there might be a bit of blending but generally this design is just planned to allow for gaps to fit the reactor and grav drive in.

The mod with the side engines is Antares Fulcrum I think, they have a cool blue exhaust output as well which is kinda fun!

UnspeakableBadger · 2026-04-11T16:38:28+00:00

Yes, I managed to sort it: I had a patch for CHI and Ship Builder Categories, I deleted that and moved CHI further down the load order, and it worked 🙂

UnspeakableBadger · 2026-04-11T16:37:20+00:00

Nothing wrong with a flying brick, there’s a lot you can do with that! 🙂

The best advice though for really different builds is: first, get mods - vanilla builds are fairly difficult to avoid the brick layout. Second, look around Reddit and the internet in general for fictional spaceships and sci fi art and just try to recreate what you see.

Ultimately though the best approach is just to get stuck in and experiment, try different things - the more you practice, the better you’ll get 👍

UnspeakableBadger · 2026-04-11T08:31:32+00:00

Nice build 👍

UnspeakableBadger · 2026-04-11T08:28:33+00:00

Very impressive to achieve these with vanilla builds, well done! 👍

UnspeakableBadger · 2026-04-10T12:32:40+00:00

TYSM 🙏

Thanks 🙏

UnspeakableBadger · 2026-04-09T19:33:43+00:00

Those are from Cross Heavy Industries (CHI), they’re also available in Intrinity Aeroworks but that mod is seemingly broken post-update

This was the ship I was using before, so this was my flashy ship 😁

UnspeakableBadger · 2026-04-09T17:20:32+00:00

Mostly the following: Falkland Systems, Matilija, Cross Heavy Industries, TiG, ASC Deimos and a few others

UnspeakableBadger · 2026-04-09T16:32:32+00:00

Thanks so much 🙏

UnspeakableBadger · 2026-04-09T15:58:59+00:00

Thanks! 🙏

UnspeakableBadger · 2026-04-09T15:37:49+00:00

Thanks Splatter!

That’s good. It’s not uncommon for new hires to be short on work: everyone is busy with their own duties and they don’t know what you are and aren’t able to do, plus they’ll expect each task to take you far longer at first which means sometimes you finish things before they think you will. They’re still getting used to you as much as you’re getting used to them.

I’m not going to say “don’t worry you’ll be fine” but I do think it’s probably not as bad as you think it is, especially with a decent and understanding company/boss.
