    Player Faction Infrastructure

    in Gameplay Discussion

    Posted

    I'm trying to work toward the point where I can build up my faction without depending on loot and other factions' infrastructure. What do I need to do to get a reliable source of crew, upgrades, and turrets (ideally from a turret factory, so I can properly outfit my ships) from my own stations?

    You really nailed the the Homeworld aesthetic.  Great job.  Homeworld is one of my favorite game series.  And the art design is probably one of my favorite elements.

     

    Same - It's what got me into drawing many moons ago.

     

    Chergan CV

    Designed and produced by its titular clan, the Chergan is a multirole utility vessel able to take on cargo transport, mining, salvage, reconnaissance, and light combat duties. Its versatile, easily-configurable design has made it the general-purpose workhorse of many Khudani clans, and modified Chergans are not uncommon among smugglers and pirates.

     

    Small, iron-tier starter vessel. XML included below.

    Shipsizes and classes

    in Gameplay Discussion

    Posted

    Hi there

     

    Steamarchievement told me to do a barrelroll in a Battleship.

     

    What is a battleship? And what is a battlecruiser, destroyer, corvett and other classes?

    Is there any overview of these? Or an other way to get my class?

     

    I wasn't aware that the game made a distinction between classes of ship - probably by volume, but I haven't seen anything pointing to that. Maybe it has yet to be implemented?

     

    I figure, if in doubt, build the biggest, most heavily-armed monster that you can, and that's bound to be classified as such.

    The white fleet (i'm not creative with names)

    in Creations

    Posted

    Thanks to the title, I was half expecting to see the Great White Fleet a-la Space Battleship Yamato.

     

    I like that sleek aesthetic and the clean silhouettes. Still trying to bolster my own fleet with more than just corvettes and miners.

     

    i'm not very good with grinding the ship, so i try to make smooth hulls like the Hiigarans

     

    since you make some awesome homeworld-like ships

    maybe a Vaygr assault frigate ? i love that ship xD

    I've been trying to hammer out such a design lately - I don't have much to show for it yet.

    I don't art an awful lot nowadays, between 12-hour class days and a crippling addiction to Avorion, but here are some examples of things I do. The following are in reverse-chronological order (more recent stuff at the top).

     

    The rest of my stuff can be found here.

    Your Faction Lore

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    A favorite pastime for folks in many building game communities (especially From the Depths, Space Engineers) is to develop a sort of story to tie their builds together.

     

    Avorion seems to have a very young community, but if anyone else here has already taken to thinking about their faction lore, please dump it here because it's late and I'm bored.

    Producing turrets?

    in Gameplay Discussion

    Posted

    I'm still mucking about in the early game, since most of my time in the game is dedicated to building ships (or trying to, anyway). There are certain arrangements for turrets that I find most suitable to certain designs, but it seems like finding the right turrets is dependent on random chance.

     

    Are players able to produce turrets from stations they've built later in the game?

     

    EDIT: Belay this; I just noticed a thread that specifically states that weapons can be produced by a player-owned factory station. Sorry.

    Design Fighters

    in Suggestions & Idea Voting

    Posted

    Designing fighters is definitely planned.

     

    Late reply, but that's great to hear! I'm really looking forward to this feature. Do you know if designing fighters be the same as any other ship, or will they have their own unique set of blocks (such as cockpits, forward-facing weapons, pilot life-support, etc)?

    Crash when building ship, repeatable

    This happens to me all the time, and I think it's related to adding or removing blocks in general. There are crash logs that appear in your %appdata% Roaming/Avorion folder, like this one:
