Rabiator Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) A collection of things I consider worth submitting to the community. The first one is a suggestion for a prettier standard drone, the one you get at the start of the game. Steam workshop link. The black&yellow design is meant to resemble construction equipment. Flight performance is quite similar to the original drone. What I could not build is the extra small mining turret with a base of 0.1 x 0.1. AFAIK this is currently not possible with the in-game editor. So if Boxelware wants to use this one they are welcome to do so. But the devs would have to add the turrets from the old drone themselves. Edited September 24, 2020 by Rabiator Adding screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vis Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I have always wanted to be able to just build/customize my drone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabiator Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 I guess the devs don't want the drones to become full-fledged warships ;-) But jokes aside, with certain limitations editing the drone would make sense. Such as The drone has to fit in a box of 8x8x8 meters You can only build with iron You get only an iron engine with a volume of one cubic meter. That is actually what I used in my Steam workshop project. Thrusters are similarly limited. You get to use the two mining turrets from the original drone, but no other weapons. Also, at these sizes working with thrusters really needs some improvement. But that is a topic for another thread. Before I start that, I want to collect some more evidence for the problems I ran into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vis Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I think you should be able to switch out the turrets, because the mining lasers suck. You wouldn't be able to use anything higher than Titanium so drones wouldn't at all be OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabiator Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 It is probably intended that the drone is so limited. Otherwise, why build real mining ships? But it still should look prettier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabiator Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) New design: The Iron Angel. A bit large for one's very first ship, but it should not take too long to get the ore and money with a makeshift flying brick. Then you can upgrade to this. The Iron Angel is adequate for fighting weak pirate groups once you have upgraded the guns a bit. An integrity field generator helps to reduce damage and survive longer in a fight. Edit 16.10.2020: As suggested by Vis, I'm exchanging the screenshot for one that shows the stats. Stats removed from text of post.

Vis Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 You should also post a screen shot of the stats of the ship. But not too bad looking for a starting ship. Glad to see it's not just another flying brick. I have seen way too many of those. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabiator Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) A small starting ship, called the Lady Courageous. (Steam Workshop Link). This one is really meant as one's first ship. Except that you have to get Titanium build knowledge first. Mine a few asteroids, one of them made of Titanium and you are good to go. Updated version: Slightly enlarged crew quarters for Avorion 2.0 Edited September 17, 2021 by Rabiator ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabiator Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 A slightly larger ship this time, the Nice Try (Steam Workshop Link). The Nice Try is a five slot corvette that could be one's second ship. I'm still not quite satisfied with the design, hence the ship name. But she is nice enough to publish 😉.Build cost: 94.052 Credits 3.878 Iron 14.906 Titanium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
