Ball Cockpit Redux

I had seen these mods a while ago and just got around to using
Several next gen ideas:
0. a. Color the ribs to blend paint scheme; b. Single center port means I just can't swap onto my existing ships (see 2.a.)
1. Lg Block vers
2. Ball Cockpit New
2.a. Blending onto 'square' ship blocks. Maybe ring blocks to go around the 3x3. Or a 3/4 variant
2.b. I use 'MMaster's Automatic LCDs 2' but info cut off cuz of round edges. Maybe oval screens
3. Like Monopod cuz I can pass-refill bottles & flows better onto square blocks. But, wish it had more cockpit screens (2.b. above).
4. Think a WW2 bomber style ball turret

The best part is that these can roll down a hill

is that an RB-79 cockpit?!

I do not allow reuploads of my mods. These show up in their own block category like all of my mods.

Can I put your cockpits in my mod and give a link to yours in the description? For some reason they do not fall into the group "cockpits". And in the "all blocks" tab, they are also not located successfully. I add a lot of details, it adds to the confusion... This will be a build for the server.

GDI, Spacebar, how many times do we have to tell you not to post pictures of your balls to the Steam Workshop..

These are great, I've been trying them out and there's a lot of great detail and proportion to them. The one thing I find myself wishing for is a conveyor port on the back of the portal 2 inspired ball cockpit. that one's really cool but the green forward facing eye can't be place in front of a ship easily unless you rig under or onto the sides of it, and a conveyor port behind it would fix that.

mmmm, Ball Turret time. >:D

Scientwist 4 Feb, 2023 @ 4:55pm 
I think Robotnik would like that last one very much.

TIME TO MAKE THE CHECKER WRECKER

Kind of wondering if we will see any alternative placements for the conveyors on the more glass based designs? Would love to build some industrial designs with a hanging cockpit using these.

Louis 10 Dec, 2022 @ 2:18pm 
perfect for putting guns on them with roters and putting it on a bomber for densfe. like the b-17 bomber
the.iron.god 7 Dec, 2022 @ 2:02am 
Any chance of a Mod.io port?
DARTHTRUCKER 1 Dec, 2022 @ 3:13pm 
man i loved your original so happy you made new ones keep up the good work
DirectorDelta 30 Nov, 2022 @ 11:02am 
I just came here to make a joke, but these are actually cool, and I'm gonna use them now. Thanks, dude.
Bob of Bob 30 Nov, 2022 @ 1:06am 
Oh man! Thanks for this, Spacebar! The only thing that kept me from using the ball cockpit that's been around for a while is the lack of a large conveyor port.
IronHeathen 26 Nov, 2022 @ 4:55pm 
I LOVE your ball cockpits designs. I try to find ways to incorporate them into ships as much as possible.
aikiwolfie 26 Nov, 2022 @ 2:31pm 
Dude you've really stepped up your game with how nice these look.
Spacebar  [author] 26 Nov, 2022 @ 11:42am 
calm down son, they're just balls

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
_WAR_LOCK_ 26 Nov, 2022 @ 8:11am 
OK
Paladinboyd 25 Nov, 2022 @ 4:00pm 
Stupid question but would a large gird version be a option?
[82DK] wyomingwolf 25 Nov, 2022 @ 1:16pm 
Now this mod is subbed worthy instead of coughstolen/forgedassetsfornpcscough XD
Dalten 25 Nov, 2022 @ 11:47am 
robotnik-cockpit is an excellent addition, thank you :)
Spacebar  [author] 25 Nov, 2022 @ 9:34am 
Added Dr. Eggman's Ball Cockpit because I had fun modeling it
Jezzing My Unders 24 Nov, 2022 @ 9:54pm 
ill send you one of my finest rat bashers if you make an egg shaped cockpit @Spacebar
Mollusk 24 Nov, 2022 @ 11:33am 
Balls.
John Bee 23 Nov, 2022 @ 1:55pm 
dae balls?
Blackbeard 23 Nov, 2022 @ 1:20pm 
This just made me 100x more impatient for the game to finish re-downloading.... Cheers
EsuZeno 23 Nov, 2022 @ 11:56am 
Now my rectangle ships can have pilots manning the balls
BIV 23 Nov, 2022 @ 12:43am 
Hey Spacebar, I have just tried one of your shiny new ball cockpits and they get the two thumbs up from me. I've just built the best little scout ship (in my collection only of course) but the cocpit makes it look really good and it was so quick to put together a descent atmo ship. So thanks a bunch for this great mod, it's bloody great. Cheers mate.
Draconeran 22 Nov, 2022 @ 8:49pm 
Just returned to Space Engineers after a long hiatus. Glad to see this mod updated. It was on of my favorite cockpits for my miners.
liquid_confidence 22 Nov, 2022 @ 4:22pm 
If only these were also turrets. They look great though.
Spacebar  [author] 22 Nov, 2022 @ 2:30pm 
......I wasn't going to add any more cockpits but now I kinda want to add one modeled after Dr. Robotnik's cockpits
Jezzing My Unders 22 Nov, 2022 @ 9:15am 
could i offer you an egg shaped cockpit in these tryin times

Combined with the water mod these would make excellent DSV cockpits.
LeeTheFlea 20 Nov, 2022 @ 9:55pm 
I'm torn between the steampunk and the closed in cockpit. The display placements make flying the seeing all your relevant data really quick and easy.
LeeTheFlea 20 Nov, 2022 @ 9:40pm 
Amaz-balls! Looks good!
BIV 20 Nov, 2022 @ 9:31pm 
These look cool as f@#&, I would love your permission to use them in my game play which would be in a single player game as I'm too slow and new to play anything else, so far. I would not dream of trying to pass any mod off as my own, just a general rule of mine, plus anyone seeing my work would know straight away that this is not my work. Being able to see the ground and other things that kill vehicles in movement would be great. It is some fantastic work you have presented here and for that I say thanks regardless. Also thanks to those who helped you make these. Good on you mate, great work.
Mindlessmrawesome 20 Nov, 2022 @ 7:24pm 
Oh YES now we can make that cool Umbaran fighter from the clone wars
Paladinboyd 20 Nov, 2022 @ 12:23pm 
Thank you for making the steampunk ball accessible from the back, can now use it for my small grid ship without having to get out.
Marc 20 Nov, 2022 @ 10:41am 
now we can make clone trooper ships

Time to make the "spherical coffin"
