Previews from the impatient

You have EB_DRONE_ION STUN_2 instead of EB_DRONE_ION_STUN_2. I'm not aware of any other blueprint having a space in their IDs. I don't know if that space really makes any difference. I haven't had a chance to test.

Drone images look okay to me. I fail to see any problem from a theoretical point-of-view. Names match up and images are 32-bit.

There is a problem with the weapons on the stun ion drones. You are using <stunChance>5</stunChance> which gives them a 50% chance to stun crew for about 3 seconds. (I don't know the actual length of the stun.) You'll want to replace those with <stun>5</stun> to get the 5-second stun effect in the drone description.

My gods... all this time... and it was just a space...

Thanks for the heads up, would explain the problem. Also thanks for the stun. I still am very new to the whole concept of the AE features and I think I already got the flak mechanics down... still didn't dable much in the arts of the chain/ charge

Edit: hmmm... still do not think that's what was up. Judging by the fact it was the mk 1 I mainly tested with and toiled with...


Edit 3: it seems to work now. however now it's time to ballance! (wanted them to be slower then the CE ion drones, but the speed for the heavy ion stun drone is huge and makes me wounder if it would be worth it... will increase stun time)

I just tested your drones as they were in the download. I put them on an Engi ship for testing.


No problems! That space is completely acceptable.

I have no idea why you were having difficulties before.

Photo-electric technology never felt so good, but it probably looked better.

what does that thing do? O_o

If FTL let me, it would harness the power of THE SUN!(TM) to set things on fire.

Is it a yellow beam that makes fires and hull damage?
Some king of fire missile?
A cool laser that sets things on fire?

It would be the latter of those three options.

Doodled some ships during downtime at work, ended up with a Zoltan-esque one I quite liked, figured I'd have a go at matching official art style.

Just roughed out for now, if you guys like it I'l have a go at cleaning it up to fit the game art.




Any feedback / suggestions welcome!

It looks like Slave one in a way
I think i willl download when comes out

I wonder if that will ever happen? The last activity of Gencool registered on this forum was 10 minutes after that post was made. I'm sending him a PM to check if he's still around. Assuming his notifications are on and he checks his email...

OH HEY COOL NEW FORUMS!

Yeah I have a tendency of vanishing when work gets too much (for those interested, I do 3D animation professionally; here's my website if you're curious, though it's been left equally un-updated for eons)

So, since my last post here I've moved house, re-built my computer, had a huge change in my career... I've still got all the files I was working on, though my folders got a bit unorganized after the update.

I did actually keep working on this ship a little, though I wasn't really happy with the shading so never came back to it. I guess I don't really have plans to take it much further, though, so you guys might as well have a look at it -




I can't remember why I changed the bottom wings like I did, but there's another concept with an awesome artillery cannon...

Also thankyou for all the kind words!

Nice!
The sketch really has come to life.
