@OctoMoose u need frostbite DLC for use this so add it on DLC list

I DL'ed this more for the comments and the awesome read they provided...

Also love it because it nails an early space travel look, and I love the idea of adding older style ships re-fitted or modernized in my own worlds.

This looks sweet.

Best conversation in comments ever.

that's science
OctoBooze  [author] 5 Aug, 2021 @ 3:17pm 
Haha thanks. Glad you can finally enjoy it :) Honestly this isn't that impressive, just a "throw parts at it and see what sticks" kind of build, trying to learn the blocks in HI.
uogamer79 5 Aug, 2021 @ 3:13pm 
you put in alot of effort and more people need to appreciate that. It takes days of time and work to create what you have, and i respect you for that
uogamer79 5 Aug, 2021 @ 3:12pm 
sorry bout earlier fellas
uogamer79 5 Aug, 2021 @ 3:12pm

uogamer79 5 Aug, 2021 @ 1:35pm

uogamer79 5 Aug, 2021 @ 1:35pm 
well shit man, thanks

Kronk out here being a real champ. Wish more people were like you two and could make peace like that. And no harm done uogamer, gotten comments like yours since first dlc came out years ago so I'm somewhat used to it, it just gets me wound up sometimes since all I want to do is share something I'm happy about but nothing serious this time! :)

uogamer79, We all have rough days and that's okay but I really appreciate you being genuine with how you felt and how regrettably that it effected your behaviour. Add me and I will gift you three dlc, the first two being Heavy Industry and Sparks of the future. The third can be your choice. After that I recommend just waiting till the rest go on sale if you feel like it.
uogamer79 4 Aug, 2021 @ 8:42pm 
Aight well i guess thanks for not being rude or an asshole like most people in the steam comments sections. And sorry to the author guy i was in a shitty mood that day
Emiricol4Rl 4 Aug, 2021 @ 8:04pm 
@uogamer79 - I understand your feelings on the matter, but as Kronk said, they're darn cheap (especially if you get them on a sale), and largely cosmetic. The devs took this out of EA quite a while ago, now, and have supported the modder community overall. It mostly affects single-player games anyway. And the author says right up front that this is just to mess around with the newest DLCs. There are tons of blueprints that don't need DLCs or which build fine without those parts, if you look around.
Emiricol4Rl 4 Aug, 2021 @ 8:04pm 
@OctoMoose - This is some darn gorgeous work! I think what I love most about it is that it fits my notion of what a proper spaceship *should* look like, vaguely submarine-ish. Space is at a premium in space, ironically. The reverse thrust by flipping is in keeping with a lot of the sci-fi that I've read over the years, as well. It'd be awesome to see a small lineup of similarly themed ships -- so if you're working on some, please do post them :) I'm missing two DLCs, unfortunately, and they're the two you use lol. Will pick those up after I catch up on 3 months of rent, now that I'm able to work again. (Yay!).
Locomotor79 4 Aug, 2021 @ 11:42am 
no pictures Mate not your faulth i think you uploaded it when steam had problems
Sneakypeaky 4 Aug, 2021 @ 10:36am 
uogamer79, why not support the devs? Dlc is damn cheap considering what is offered. If your not interested in cosmetics that's cool, but it's a bit silly to get upset over not being able to access dlc content. No mods tag is meant to imply that this is vanilla server compatible which mods are not.
OctoBooze  [author] 4 Aug, 2021 @ 10:22am 
Too bad. I'm here thoroughly enjoying the new DLC. obviously. ;)
uogamer79 4 Aug, 2021 @ 10:07am 
no i just expected to be able to play the damn thing without having to buy even more shit for this game. obviously.
Videogames 4 Aug, 2021 @ 9:47am 
unbased
Sneakypeaky 3 Aug, 2021 @ 7:41pm 
I love your hauler variant more but both are great designs. Great use of the dlc blocks! Feeling inspired to build something myself. :)
OctoBooze  [author] 3 Aug, 2021 @ 3:40pm 
Then just skip it and don't complain? Obviously this build isn't for you if it bothers you that much that someone labels their builds if they're vanilla, modless or modded ._.
uogamer79 3 Aug, 2021 @ 11:33am 
no mods, but dlcs required so it honestly doesn't make a difference
Saxmo 3 Aug, 2021 @ 11:09am 
I know about the orange for the insulating foam, just meant for nostalgia. in space, a reflective silver or gold would be best for heat protection. i wish SE factored in Heat differences, reentry friction, and radiation hazards into the ships. maybe even metal oxidation over time. to where you actually have to maintain your ship, but make the more sturdy as well.
OctoBooze  [author] 2 Aug, 2021 @ 1:21pm 
Literally stated in second sentence in description. It's written for a reason.
Nx-74656 2 Aug, 2021 @ 11:54am 
dose this ship have retrograde thrusters?
Zach Jepson 1 Aug, 2021 @ 12:35pm 
this is rad :steamhappy:

"It has no retros on it so you'll need to flip and burn to brake"
There's a Script for that! :steamhappy:

looks amazing nice work!
OctoBooze  [author] 1 Aug, 2021 @ 6:26am 
Space shuttle tank being orange was due to the insulator foam. In space white is better since it reflects off more sunlight with its higher albedo than dark making it better suited in my head for this as it needs less cooling by itself. Orange tanks are bloody fantastic though visually.
Saxmo 1 Aug, 2021 @ 4:24am 
Maybe some color? make the hydrogen tanks orange to be "space shuttle-esk"
Saxmo 1 Aug, 2021 @ 4:22am 
I love how you used the different DLC and update blocks to make something that is very nice Hard Scifi. very fiew people know about radiator panels IRL. your use of the frost dish and industrial hydrogen tanks/thruster is awesome. i'm looking to build something similar in survival. thank you for the inspiration.
Fullercloth2201 31 Jul, 2021 @ 8:29pm 
you made this in a DAY?
zelphion 31 Jul, 2021 @ 2:43pm 
I think you just started a new trend >->
tikks 31 Jul, 2021 @ 12:29pm 
Very very well done! You've nailed the industrial/grounded realism theme. It's given me some inspiration for my own vessel - if you don't mind giving me some pointers, I'm open to criticism, I've posted it to my workshop.
Rupture 31 Jul, 2021 @ 10:27am 
at east the back half does lol
Rupture 31 Jul, 2021 @ 10:27am 
reminds me of one of the belter ships from expanse
Senanthes 31 Jul, 2021 @ 2:55am 
Quite awesome! Very well done.
Codster121 30 Jul, 2021 @ 3:00pm 
I love the realism of this. :)
Rhea.licious 30 Jul, 2021 @ 2:23pm 
Beautiful!

This is spectacular, it took a minute to realize this wasn't a screenshot from like Kerbal Space Program or something lol
Psyc 30 Jul, 2021 @ 5:16am 
Very nice use of the new blocks. It's a cool looking ship good job!
