any chance to get some info about how to create a custom respawn ship mod?

Coolness. I need to learn how to do that myself. My Blueprints are in a giant mess right now ... but I just posted a screenshot of two work in progress examples I am currently playing with. I only need storage on them. The smaller one is an absolute blast to get out on the biggest ice lake you can find and play with the wheel settings. It is like drifting a dump truck. :)

Hey Genjokan, I see how it's done now... I had always understood it as pointing to the game directories. I'll push an update soon and fix that up. Thanks for the heads up!

Yes, the preview pic, I guess you call it. Other respawn ship mods I have tried do display the actual ship. Nikolas March's and AQD's mods, for example. I have no worries. I just observe and comment. ;)

My goto cab/cockpit is Eikester's (DX11) Cockpit. Amazing how the overall look of these types of vehicles change with the different cockpits available to us. I had not posted mine because I use mods and, you know, whiners. Maybe I can produce a decent screen shot.

Hey Genjokan, thanks! I'm glad you are enjoying them :)

About the blocks in the respawn screen...did you mean the preview pic? If so, the game pulls the thumbs from the game directory and unfortunately mods do not install images there. If you meant something else Lemme know and I'll see what I can do.

These are brilliant. And not just because I have build a variation of the Recon dozens of times. I have never come close to making mine look this refined though. And that rear spoiler!
Only issue I have after several playings is that they show up as blocks in my respawn screen.

Awesome!

@Omicron and others; I have made a slight modification to the Intrepid to enable access to the O2 generator thru the cockpit. Everyone can breathe easy once again!

Thanks Omicron, I'll look into it. I know in the recon it works best thru the cockpit but I'll need to have a closer look.

You can probably fix this by just swapping the positions of the O2 generator and survival kit, since nothing the kit uses or produces actually requires a large conveyor connection.

They absolutely work with a speed mod - at least, I've got my speed limit at 200 m/s and there's no problems whatsoever. :)

I'm really loving the minimalism of these pods, by the way. Especially the Intrepid. However, there's a teeny-tiny problem with it: the included oxygen and hydrogen bottles cannot be used. They do not fit through small conveyors, and the connection between survival kit and O2 generator is a small conveyor. All other conveyor connections in the main chain between cockpit and main thruster are large conveyors - it's just that one combo breaker between those two blocks. And since there are no free ports on either the O2 generator or the hydrogen tank, you cannot finagle the bottles into the generator in any way.

You'd have to try it, I built it without a speed mod. Let me know how it goes!

Does this work with a speed mod?
