@chancey21 It's not the map, it's just the seven ships in the sandbox all placed in one location by editing CloudSettings.xml, which is one folder up from where your aircraft are saved.
@Irobert55 Good to know, you can never have enough cuss words for people like that.
Speaking of better things, have you seen Das Leben der Anderen? It's one of the best films I've ever seen. Das Experiment and Die Welle were also quite good.
@Irobert55 But getting back to Mantafahrers, we have another type of loser here in Australia -- let's call them sirenfahrers. This is an individual with barely enough intelligence to get a job driving something with a siren (an ambulance, fire truck, etc.) -- not to be an actual fireman, mind you, just to drive them around. And they abuse that pitiful power (having a siren) for kicks, just to get attention. Somehow they think doing that will get them something other than contempt and derision. But then they're low-intelligence, as I said. Do you have these in Germany as well?
@dootdootbananabus You mean the smooth fuselages themselves? Sure, if you can describe the shape well enough, and if it's possible to make it using my scripts.
@RMark1 Well, if this was real life, we'd need a computer-controlled system that adjusts thrust to match the reduced mass, and also constantly redistributes the fuel to keep the center of mass fixed. We don't have any of that in SP, but we can easily emulate that by using an XML modded fuel tank with massScale = 0. I recently uploaded a parts kit that has a fuel tank with 1,000,000 gallons and zero mass, you can use that if you like.
I have a tutorial on this subject that has everything you need to create your own spaceship-type build.
@FGW2014 it's great, perhaps a mite sensitive to control inputs. The gun could be more powerful as well. Try setting damage to 10000 and roundsPerSecond to 20. One last thing I'd recommend is to make it able to take off from land. That's easily done by adding a zero-mass engine with thrust equal to about 2x the mass of the build, in line with the center of mass, and binding it to a momentary input like Brake. To take off, you just press Brake until you're in the air, then fly normally.
@KerlonceauxIndustries More like I was inspired to build a spaceship that handles perfectly after trying to make the MD500 do so. (If a structure is asymmetrical about the horizontal plane, it throws off SP's angular momentum/drag calculations and causes the build to roll when torque is applied around the Y-axis).
@TomShift You're welcome, I'll post a more detailed version some time. I don't play multiplayer because I only ever connect over a VPN, and that causes unacceptable lag. Plus, multiplayer tends to get old very quickly (people problems always develop). SP is at its best in SP mode.
@Irobert55 Here in Australia we have our own version of Mantafahrers. They're known by the characteristic that to them, the most (and perhaps the only) important thing about a vehicle is the loudness of its exhaust. Usually seen driving more low-end vehicles, but sometimes in a formerly nice car as well. (Formerly nice because they've modified the exhaust to sound like an asthmatic truck.)
Q: How can you tell that the Stasi has bugged your apartment?
A: There's a new cabinet in it and a trailer with a generator in the street.
Early in the morning, Honecker arrives at his office and opens his window. He greets the Sun, saying: "Good morning, dear Sun!" — "Good morning, dear Erich!" Honecker works, and then at noon he heads to the window and says: "Good day, dear Sun!" — "Good day, dear Erich!" In the evening, Erich calls it a day, and heads once more to the window, and says: "Good evening, dear Sun!" Hearing nothing, Honecker says again: "Good evening, dear Sun! What's the matter?" The sun retorts: "Go to hell. I'm in the West now!"
@Irobert55 Lots of amino acids, and a bit of creatine. But smoking is not the usual method of administration. Smoking (anything) isn't good for you, you know.
@AlexCZ The regular sandbox map. It looks different because I use a custom shader with Reshade. If you play on Windows you can get the same effect, look at my profile for the link.
@TMach5 You're welcome! There are more to come - sections with flat bottoms, sections with a stealthy cross section, etc. I'm looking for feedback on what sizes people need.
@ThatWeirdGuy Look forward to seeing what you come up with.
@RocketBoy101252 No, I wasn't thinking of any specific uses. It's entirely up to whoever uses it.
@RocketBoy101252 That's... an odd question. You can't think of a use for these?
@FGW2014 You're welcome.
@chancey21 It's not the map, it's just the seven ships in the sandbox all placed in one location by editing CloudSettings.xml, which is one folder up from where your aircraft are saved.
@FGW2014
When I try to take off from land, it just noses into the ground. Edit: never mind, I just read the instructions.
These are all the Gun.State settings with the typical values I use:
ammoCount="200"
burstCount="1000"
timeBetweenBursts="0.5"
muzzleVelocity="2000"
roundsPerSecond="20"
spread="0"
activationGroup="0"
tracerColor="00FFFF"
damage="10000"
bulletScale="20,20,10"
muzzleFlash="false"

@Irobert55 That's too bad. I guess scheisskopfen are everywhere.

@Irobert55 I had a look, and I get the humor, but it's a little heavy-handed for me.
@ThomasRoderick Nah, at SledDriver Industries we stick to technologies that actually work... nice reference though. And thanks.
@dootdootbananabus You mean the smooth fuselages themselves? Sure, if you can describe the shape well enough, and if it's possible to make it using my scripts.
@Awsomur Thanks, awsomur builds to come.
Glad you like it, @DemonSniper8 @Ryn176

Other than that, a lot of fun.
@Z3RO never played Homeworld, I was more into Descent: Freespace. Glad you find it interesting, though.
@Irobert55 I'll check it out later today.
@chancey21 There's only one Beast, did you mean two Tinys?
@chancey21 In my head, more or less. I only have time to build one a day or so, though.
Hilarious.

'Boreal' means of or related to the north wind or north itself. @Ryn176 @dootdootbananabus
@Z3RO Go for it.
@chancey21 Nope, don't need or want to know anyone's home address. Amazon gift cards can be e-mailed, and Steam ones can be sent to a Steam username.
Thanks, @Ephwurd
@RMark1 Divide the mass of the spaceship by the engine's thrust in pounds, that'll give you the powerMultiplier.
@RMark1 An engine thrusting straight down through the exact center of mass, with thrust set exactly equal to the spaceship's mass.
@JoddyFubuki788 Yeah, or an exploration vessel.
Thanks, @TheGuyYouMightKnow @phanps
Thanks, @Rodrigo110
@TomShift Well, glad you think so, @TomShift
@TomShift You're welcome, I'll post a more detailed version some time. I don't play multiplayer because I only ever connect over a VPN, and that causes unacceptable lag. Plus, multiplayer tends to get old very quickly (people problems always develop). SP is at its best in SP mode.
@Irobert55 Sure, post a link.
@Irobert55 Well, finish the joke in Deutsch and I'll see if I can figure it out.

@Stingray Sure, they can be put on any build.
@Irobert55 Those are hilarious. In the same vein:
Q: How can you tell that the Stasi has bugged your apartment?
A: There's a new cabinet in it and a trailer with a generator in the street.

@Irobert55 Funny. I like this one:
Q: What happens when an MD leans against a wall?
A: The wall falls over.
Q: Why?
A: The cleverer gives way.
@Irobert55 Guten morgen, in that case. I think Mantafahrer jokes are pretty funny.
@Irobert55 That's... a very German joke.
@Irobert55 Lots of amino acids, and a bit of creatine. But smoking is not the usual method of administration. Smoking (anything) isn't good for you, you know.
@TomShift It's not finished yet, but you can take it for a spin.
@Kingzfire Nah, not my thing.
@Davisplanez Yeah, but only 12 upvotes. Go figure.
@AlexCZ The regular sandbox map. It looks different because I use a custom shader with Reshade. If you play on Windows you can get the same effect, look at my profile for the link.
@Stingray Yeah, someone asked for a mobile-friendly build.
@Irobert55 Yes, but I'm not big on drinking songs so couldn't respond in kind.
