sharvah Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Is there a way to get the shipyards to build player designed ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedamngod Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 No, but it has been suggested before and one of the devs liked the idea :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimJahk Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'd love to see this... The one thing that bothers me the most, aesthetically, is the entire "Blocks in Space" motif... If players had the ability to submit ships to a master database and the game could call on that list to add diversity to the environment... WOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedamngod Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 That was also suggested before and is planned: http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,1410.msg6629.html#msg6629 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devious Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The basics for this is already somewhat in the game I found. When you install the mod or edit the code to allow for players to also build the shipyard, this will give the shipyard a building template type called test instead of the regular 3 types that differ per shipyard. The ships created with this template all look the same, so in theory this template should be editable. I haven't fully looked into it yet since I have only found out about this yesterday but it looks promosing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoSboccacc Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 still you get the problem with ppl endlessly designing dongs and such. but I like the idea, especially if players design built with the randomizer block have those blocks randomized again by the shipyard, so each would feel unique somewhat but still in line with the main theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grungle Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 The one thing that bothers me the most, aesthetically, is the entire "Blocks in Space" motif... Yeah, The thing that makes the voxels thing interesting is that, although sure, you can just build a blocky whatever ship, you can also take the time to make something visually appealing. Not for the players to do tho, the devs need to do it themselves or find someone to do it- because it still needs to be procedurally generated, just in a way that takes advantage of the voxel system (in other words making the ships look appealing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Some of the procgen block ships and stations look pretty cool, but a lot of them do end up looking like a lump of glue flew through a junkyard, yeah. Still, I kinda like the aesthetic. Most of the procgen ships come in five types: long stick flat sword skinny boomerang boxes3 flying T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz334 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 What about player built / owned Shipyards? I like to earn my way into Self-Sufficiency. Especially with all the backstabbing the AI has done to me lately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundercraft Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I'd also really like to see this. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
