They did build this though, even if it didn't get into orbit.

Guidance system messed up, thrust retrograde instead of pro and burned up in the atmosphere.

If you were a discerning buyer but money, nor tech levels were an object and living in the distant future, what would you want in a personal space ship?

For me, I'd like:
>FTL drive capable of the equivelant speed of at least 1000 times the speed of light. (it's a big galaxy alone)
>Enough living space for six people to live comfortably
>Capable of going up to one to five years without needing to resupply or be maintained at a proper space port/dock.
>walk-in engineering/engine room so when something needs to be fixed or looked at, a flashlight and crawling won't be needed
>Dedicated medical room and auto-doc
>Enough space to hold a small land vehicle the size of a modern day sedan.
>Law enforcement grade shields/armor and weapon systems
>Quantum Communication systems (including Internet)

I could live long spans out in the wilds of space, exploring to find viable colony locations or freighting small amounts of cargo with my friends.

Personally, I agree with pretty much all of those. Though I don't believe I'd need that much space. Maybe:
>FTL
>Living space for 3 or 4
>Aquatic capabilities
>Communications

Wouldn't need medical facilities/longevity/expedient repairs because I'd likely just hop from colony to colony, staying for however long I feel like and picking up friends along the way.

I like that, or maybe like a private plane. In that lots of people own them (boats/planes), but they aren't ubiquitous like the family sedan/minivan.

I'm not sure that even in the far future of a space-faring society, private ownership of interplanetary craft will be common place.

Even though it looks like the Lamborghini of the Star Wars universe, i'd say it's a pretty good agent vessel since there's nothing to denote it's actually affiliated with the sith.

Agent definitely had the best storyline, ironically, because Bioware was allowed to do mostly their own thing with it.

out of all the classes, the Agent's was the one that was a completely free concept for the most part with almost no one like it existing in the Star Wars universe.

Every other class story was a product of Bioware trying to let the player feel like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Han Solo, etc. etc.

The agent story? It was beholden to no one. Plus had the unique position being officially part of the Empire without being a Sith.

Vague Story Spoilers!
So you get to experience first hand how much it can suck to not be one of those rare demi-gods of the Star Wars universe and see how other people who are not demi-gods are getting fucking sick and tired of those demi-gods.

Really now? But it seems to me that you could still change the exterior of the ship, seeing as EVERY conversation you have while in your ship never shows the exterior for a practical reason (or at all; I can't remember).

>>47700810
Well it's because a lot of freighter ships were made on Corellia, and they had that disc shape as their style. I'm personally a fan of the YT-1300, it's what we used in our Star Wars Saga Edition game.

>>47700887
That's an interesting take on it. Never thought of it that way. To be honest, I still enjoyed the Smuggler story just a smidge more. Might be personal bias, seeing as I'm a huge fan of Han Solo, but it seemed to be very unique in that smuggler archetype. And I enjoy that archetype.

oh, the exterior, sure. Yeah, bit of a funny thing that. In general, that's probably being a by-product of Bioware still struggling with the engine because they licensed out an incomplete game engine. They've done impressive stuff with it (that makes me a bit excited for ESO, which is using the full version the Hero Engine) but, the developers have probably had to struggle. A lot.

And unfortunately, with the current direction of the game and it's story we're unlikely to ever see starships and such touched on ever again.

First attempt at designing a spacecraft, heavy fighter to be specific

>>47701883
Well, it's still in the sandbox stage, but it's a pretty solid game.

Uses newtonian physics (except for with planets) and after a while flying the ships in it you get a good feel for how spacecraft are supposed to be built.

I've found that whenever I get a new ship off the workshop (steam workshop and modding support, oh yes) I take myself on a little tour to see what all of it does. Good fun.

It's difficult to condense how 245-odd hours of hard work ends up feeling in person though.

How big is a frigate?

Biggest ship I've found recently is a replica of the Prometheus, from the film of the same name. Took me about five minutes to walk around the interior and once I'd crashed it into a mountain I found that most of it was hollow.

Basically the only thing to limit how big you can build is how much your pc can take.

You DO have to pay out a lot just for propellant, rocket equation being what it is. Might up operating price considerably compared to a boat.

Most people'll probably take Aldrin cyclers and the like. You have to wait on them, but it's a lot cheaper and a lot less cramped than a proper spaceship would be.

>>47702746
For the most part you click on a destination and it takes you there on its own. Manual control exists but unless you're attacked you're unlikely to use it, pretty standard floaty space sim. If you like market fiddling and deep planning the game can be an amusing distraction while you do other things.

371KB, 1600x1200px

fuck yeah

>>47702380
It's unlike anything you've ever played. And by that, I mean it takes every other game's good and bad parts and takes it to the extreme.

Fighting other dudes solo in a frigate is the most fun I have ever had playing a video game. Moving shit around and making money is tedious and awful (to me at least, some people enjoy that, idk how).

Market PvP is a thing and it's both incredibly dense and wonderfully interesting if you're an economist and like messing with that sort of deal.

As to ships: each one has traits, attributes, module slots and fitting space.

Traits give you stuff like "X weapon does 10% more damage for each level you have in the ship skill" or "20% better turret tracking speed," etc.

Modules are things you fit on the ship so it can do stuff. Guns, shields, armor, microwarpdrives/jumpdrives, afterburners, etc. Rigs are like modules but once they're on you need to destroy them to remove them, and you can only have 3 max per ship (only 2 on high-tech ships)

Fitting space determines how many module slots you have (up to 8 high, 8 low, 8 medium, though no ships actually have that many) and how much power grid and CPU space the ship has to fit all of that.

Most of your flying is done by setting destination and using the right click or radial menus. In solo or small fleet combat, you'll probably fly around manually by double-left-clicking in space (there are manual controls and joystick support but it's not that efficient). In larger fleets, you're probably going to just auto-pilot orbit one guy who drives the whole fleet around while you shoot stuff (or you'll be the guy flying everyone around).

>What do you mean about manual control not being efficient though?
The arc of fire on weaponry is large enough that manually moving around yourself isn't any more advantageous than just pointing and telling it an orbit distance

>>47703188
Wrong.

>>47703140
Manual flight itself is efficient. I mean using a joystick or keys to do it is inefficient.

>>47703249
So when you say manual flight you mean flying by clicking? What advantage/disadvantage does that have over using the orbit mechanic?

>>47703334
Yes, flying by clicking.

It's complex, but basically it allows you to maintain a more precise distance and direction to avoid being "tackled" by enemy warp scramblers, stasis webifiers (stuff that slows you down). It also gives you a lot more leeway with how well your guns are hitting--if your target has a high transversal (perpendicular) velocity relative to you, your guns are going to be less accurate since they can only rotate so quickly. By positioning your ship properly you can hit better, or make them hit you worse.

essentially it just gives you more control.

Got one that doesn't look like a penis?

Trying to break trends.

there are plenty in this thread that don't look like a penis.

>>47711594
Less... built like an actual space ship. Not plane like in any way.

>>47711624
What? The Ishimura doesn't look anything like a plane!

also, not a space ship, but I would totally love to see a space ship based on these.

Sorta late for the request, but does anyone have pics of a Bridge?

This is the closest I've got.

If I could wish for anything it would have to be a TARDIS.

The wooden crates are probably just a diagrammatic convenience so that we know what it is.

don't forget that assuming humanity is capable enough of terraforming or finding places with earth-like environs, then timber is should be more plentiful and easier to work with than making metal crates.

in general, some designs just aren't going to go any time soon.

Do you get the feeling the artist had no fucking clue how planes worked, or about engineering in general?

>>47713873
Clearly.

>plane has a galley serving food and drink
>journeys are long enough that there are beds
>no restrooms

>>47714234
To be fair, there clearly aren't enough beds for all passengers, so it's safe to assum they're only there for naps and the like. Likewise, the ladies room isn't even a restroom, it's a makeup room.

The plane would probably be for like 3 or 4 hour luxury flights, but the lack of restrooms is still disconcerting.

It's an Indian airline. If you need to go, just open the hatch, hang out, and relieve yourself into the designated shitting air.

Yo.

>>47700445
That's more or less my dream job. I go out and survey and map systems while my ridiculous compensation gets added to my retirement fund.

>>47714416
...and that's the image limit. Fuck.

Anon, if you're not surveying wild space until the morning you just don't wake up, you're doing it wrong.

Customizing the interior of your ship was THE TITS back in Star Wars Galaxies. It had a pretty robust home simulator, that they applied to the larger ships. I put a "hidden" (no collision detection on some decorations) armory in my Luxury Yacht to make it feel like a spy ship. Still miss that game.

who cares? this was a pretty decent thread
