This show a more zoomed in version. The area on the right is where we have all been up to this point so you guys should be able to follow me up.

Wow Greg, I wish you had told me exactly where a little sooner. Having no idea where you were I just hopped into the nearest wormhole that I found - I am now absolutely freaking miles away. It will probably take me an hour just to get where you are.

Here is an overlay of your map onto mine to show just how screwed we now are.

Sorry about that, didn't realize you would be on. Assumed i could guide everyone on Friday.

We can always come to you. plus the big jump is only one worm hole.

#44

Nevermind Greg, I found an admin command to teleport, so I moved myself where you are. Problem solved.

#45

Nice one. On Friday i was hoping to get Meg and Expon to pimp their ships some i preparation for some serious exploring next time we are all about.

#46

I am hoping to be on tomorrow night fingers crossed but i will be on proper next week for sure.

The shed of dread should be built tomorrow! 

#47

Shiny! To that end, I mailed everyone some more green for ultimate ship pimpage. The shields are pretty damn awesome and there is a fair bit of snot floating around that area that you found, Greg - including yet another wormhole that takes you back up north to roughly where I was ... doh!

It was good fun on Friday. I did enjoy expons off the wall ship designs. 
I think we all seem to be getting to a reasonable level of equipment now so looking forward to pushing a bit further toward the centre next time. 

#52

Yes, I am really enjoying it. Dyson's latest ship was special to say the least.

I hopped on yesterday to make a new ship - more along the lines of a battleship, since my "Sulaco" had its day.

Here is a screenshot of it in action.

#53

Bloody hell that is a bit of a beast.

#54

It's a bit bigger than my last ship, but tried to keep the front-facing profile to a minimum for skirmishes. It's actually quite bare bones and fits quite a lot inside. Was attempting to go down the more shield, less armour route to improve handling - and as such, no armour on this one - just some bits of hull plating on the essential spots.

#55

Looks tidy. Mine needs a proper redesign as evey time I go on something gets shot off and I spend most oft my time just getting back to square one. 

Just a thought, is there any way to play around with the collision damage? I don't want it turned off but it seems a bit unnecessarily harsh at the moment. Also that seems to account for about 80% of lost time in game at the moment. If we could turn it to like 50% just until we can afford to move our spawn station it might make getting started a bit easier. 

#56

Most of our setbacks thus far have indeed been collision orientated. In a way though, it's kind of refreshing to see a game that treats collision a bit more seriously.

Anyway, yes, it can be altered. For my reference.

As I said, just a thought. When we can set our spawn points then fair game but I must have spent hours just pointlessly travelling back to my ship to pick up wreckage. 
Also the lack of green in the starter system is a pain for rebuilding. 

#58

Indeed. It will only get worse the closer to the galaxy center that we get. Imagine having to make that trip everytime you ed it into an asteroid (or me) .

#59

I think that would call for the admin to warp some. I would think it would take over an hour to get there looking at the map even if you knew the exact route. 

#60

And the rest. Well I shall reduce it anyway, since it has already racked up a fairly substantial bill for us (not to mention all the hassle).
