Does this work with frackin universe?

Yeah, youtube's algorithm will strike anyone down nowadays. You can always mute music and add sountracks in later if you're steaming I imagine

A warning to people who plan to make streaming or video content with this mod installed: The song RCA (+) by Carbon Based Lifeforms got copyright claimed on YouTube for me. It's possible that other songs in this mod are unsafe as well.

semi-buildable version... Tell me more... Where is this magical happiness you type of?
CaptainRumBarrels  [author] 14 Oct, 2023 @ 4:24pm 
Also, just as a reminder, there is actually a semi-buildable version of the current mod where the player can purchase a warp-ticket to a different version of the ship where they can have some significant build space at the front and rear of the ship. I know some peeps want the whole building experience for the whole ship but its at least something :)
CaptainRumBarrels  [author] 14 Oct, 2023 @ 4:20pm 
You can download that from previous versions of this mod if I am not mistaken with steams version tracking history etc.

I have retired from modding starbound to working on other game dev projects. I have said and continue to say, people are more than welcome to download or source earlier versions of this mod on steam and the chucklefish forums and re-release the ship building aspect of it under their own accounts.

Sorry I can't be much help in this respect but as I said I'm happy for people to do what you and a few have requested (^^,)

Hey would u be willing to restore a previous functionality of this mod, building your own ship? I would love to experience this amazing functionality again and I don’t think that would interrupt with your general vision, as I enjoy both versions. Perhaps some citadel like in Mass Effect would do it too.

Looks good.

Yoooo Elite Dangerous Dolphin moment
Good mod btw!
bobaltington 10 Mar, 2023 @ 2:46pm 
What are the item ids of all the items the mod adds?
DeLemmur 27 Jan, 2023 @ 1:00am 
Bummer. Well i understand that its your indention... But couldn't you make a seperate one? Like optional patch? You could heavily nerf the patch by removing all premade furnitures and npc, and make the "cruise ship owner certificate" at extremely high price/locked behind hidden quests.

@Lucy
I used to have that as a feature, but then I removed it because it was outside the scope of this mod. I had to stick to my creative intentions and remain focused on this mod being an NPC dungeon like other NPC ships you encounter.
William 6 Jan, 2023 @ 9:38am 
can you make a way to get your own cruise ship like a space station
[AR]UMP-45 5 Nov, 2022 @ 12:36pm 
this mod is so EXCELLENT! thanks to the immersive music on the cruise to let me be impressed with this mod, great job Captain!:steamthumbsup:
Jones Royal 23 Aug, 2022 @ 2:55pm 
Bro same, I used too anyway
CaptainRumBarrels  [author] 23 Aug, 2022 @ 5:47am 
If you play Elite Dangerous, which I do. :)
Jones Royal 20 Aug, 2022 @ 12:27am 
This ship kinda looks familiar...Cant tell why
CaptainRumBarrels  [author] 23 Jun, 2022 @ 6:10pm 
Haven't touched it for a while. but I'm making another ship for it when I have time. Currently working on polishing an a mod in dev. then I can spruce this one up.
Grand Poo-Bah de Canadiannaise 27 May, 2022 @ 5:22pm 
so.... this mod working?ish?
CaptainRumBarrels  [author] 20 May, 2022 @ 7:45am 
ok, so it was all NPCs. I believe it was an issue with getting the NPCs to spawn back when I was developing the mod with a different version of the game. Tiled already gave me enough issues. I'll do some more testing when I integrate the build of the ship I'm designing (from the same video game its based off, Elite Dangerous), if all goes well I'll update the NPC files.

I originally themed the colony ships to be exclusively human dungeons, like the civilian version of the USCM if you will, then went with the protectorate theme instead because the protectorate uniform, mixed with the voyager, astro and other space attire seemed seemed more "star trekky" and went with that (^^,)
ramhane 20 May, 2022 @ 6:27am 
”essential_gc_security” ”essential_gc_villager” ”essential_gc_pilot”
”essential_gc_pilotidle” ”essential_gc_guard” … There are others.
Perhaps I removed it from all positions just in case.

Rather, the only exception is the part where only humans are specified.
CaptainRumBarrels  [author] 20 May, 2022 @ 3:33am 
well probably the last time I worked on this was a long time ago. If there's no issues, and when I implement another ship I'm working on, then I can add the avian and glitch. Are there any other NPC files you saw that had those missing? or just the security guard?
ramhane 19 May, 2022 @ 10:53pm 
If you ask me, I feel like I saw such a comment a long time ago.

And strangely,
"apex, avian, floran, glitch, human, hylotl, novakid"
It seems that there is no problem even if it is changed to.

I wonder what ...
CaptainRumBarrels  [author] 19 May, 2022 @ 9:05pm 
Right, so I did remove avian and glitch from what I see is the security guard NPC. Now that I recall, I think when I was developing the mod I ran into a few bugs when spawning this particular custom NPC I made. No reason, no clue. Seemed to work when I removed them. I found it would frequently spawn glitch at the least in excessive numbers. Other times the NPC wouldn't spawn at all and there would be fewer NPCs on the Ship overall because of the failure to load So then I essentially redistributed some NPC races into other roles. This was during development which I haven't touched since in well over a year.
ramhane 19 May, 2022 @ 8:05am 
I noticed this when I was trying to create a PATCH for myself, hoping to be able to accommodate the mod's species as well.
ramhane 19 May, 2022 @ 8:00am 
I wonder if I am looking at the wrong data..., open essential_gc_ship01.json. search on Avian. only hits on tileset. Search in npc.
"properties":
{
"npc":"human, novakid, hylotl, apex, floran",
"typeName":"essential_gc_security"
},
and there are no two species here.
CaptainRumBarrels  [author] 19 May, 2022 @ 1:35am 
in terms of NPCs? hmm strange. they're on the NPC spawn list. maybe luck of the draw?
ramhane 18 May, 2022 @ 8:19pm 
By the way, "Glitch" and "Avian" don't appear on the boat, is there some kind of setup (not talking about the system)?
CaptainRumBarrels  [author] 21 Mar, 2022 @ 11:34pm 
@Fisch
True. I considered that, but I just got the wireframes from the wiki and scaled those down once I binarized the colours into pure white or black. made it transparent, started trimming off excess pixels etc.

thanks for the suggestion though (^^,)
Fenya 21 Mar, 2022 @ 9:15am 
you could also make a screenshot of the ship ingame, import it into your pixel art app you use and scale it down to the size you want it,
then remove the exessive parts that are background and overdraw the ship manually to make it a good look
its what i do it makes things so much easyer
CaptainRumBarrels  [author] 21 Mar, 2022 @ 12:46am 
I'm currently working on the pixel art for the Orca for this mod Perhaps the Dolphin too. Taking its time but getting there nonetheless. so far got the wireframe and sized it to scale and cleaned up any residual pixels associated with scaling and anti aliasing. Should be a good ship

open to suggestions on interiors

and for the record - no you cannnot build this ship as your base ship (-_-) this is an NPC ship mod, which happens to have a live aboard cabin on certain models. so please don't ask me to make this a player ship for those who are thinking of it :P
CaptainRumBarrels  [author] 21 Mar, 2022 @ 12:43am 
oh for god's sakes I was just on ED and I saw so many of those ships XD
Arrow 20 Mar, 2022 @ 1:22pm 
And don't forget, this Liner is in the top 1% of all liners out there...
o7 cmdr, great mod.
Fenya 6 Feb, 2022 @ 7:38am 
be like fighter bay where you land yo fighter to board lol
CaptainRumBarrels  [author] 26 Jan, 2022 @ 12:47am 
@Ripto (or any one else who has a copy of this old mod)

I said a while ago people have my permission to repost that as a mod under their name. As long as they cite me as the author they can make their own mod and changes using this content. I'm sure if people are savvy enough they can unpack the old version.

I plan to keep this as an NPC ship mod (^^,)
Abyss 27 Dec, 2021 @ 9:30am 
Yeah thanks
Mark the Chinese Lawyer 27 Dec, 2021 @ 12:44am 
Thanks a bunch!!
CaptainRumBarrels  [author] 26 Dec, 2021 @ 10:17pm 
Sorry, busy over christmas period. I've listed the names of the artists and songs in the page desctiption. If you look at the game files I've also names the corresponding tracks by the song name also in the mod folder. (^^,)
Mark the Chinese Lawyer 25 Dec, 2021 @ 11:56am 
Awesome mod, could you perhaps list the songs in the soundtrack?
Abyss 22 Dec, 2021 @ 4:24pm 
What is the music for the ship
Wombat 4 Dec, 2021 @ 11:13pm 
i strongly prefer the old cruise ship from the 4th screenshot, if you could make that some sort of toggle or separate mod i would appreciate it
ꜰᴀʏʙʀ 4 Dec, 2021 @ 1:28pm 
It appears that exiting the game and reloading back fixes all the lag. Huh. Disregard my issue, just Starbound being unoptimized as usual.
ꜰᴀʏʙʀ 4 Dec, 2021 @ 1:26pm 
For some odd reason, I either get fps drops or my game slows down to a crawl whenever I'm in any of the ships.
CaptainRumBarrels  [author] 20 Oct, 2021 @ 7:23pm 
aye me hearty. I want to add the orca and the dolphin ships as next maps when I have the painstaking task of doing the pixel art for the bg assets XD

It will get done though. Ironically I was just about to fire up ED for a quick spin when I read the last comment
Blu_png 20 Oct, 2021 @ 5:15pm 
I see this cmdr has taste
Forgotten One 20 May, 2021 @ 5:41am 
aight thanks
CaptainRumBarrels  [author] 20 May, 2021 @ 4:56am 
I'll have to double check the NPC file but from memory they are armed with the space plasma rifle, the pioneer helmet, voyager set chest armour and voyager legs, and the miner backpack, all items coloured in white. other engineers are vanilla space NPCs
Forgotten One 19 May, 2021 @ 5:10am 
guards*
Forgotten One 19 May, 2021 @ 5:10am 
true and pls tell me what armor are the guard wearing
