InfamousBrad Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Has anybody built a spaceship, space station, or moonbase that they're proud of? I want to build something outer-space themed and I'm having a hard time getting inspired by the pieces we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShardWarrior Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Mini Lantern Corps SG base is in space. I posted a few screen shots of it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to build something outer-space themed and I'm having a hard time getting inspired by the pieces we have. I have a space ship that I've been building, though the exterior needs a lot of TLC to really look nice. It's near the flight ceiling above the base area, with the background set to "space" and interior lighting, so the only illumination comes from the interior lights. The SG is themed after a race of very small humanoids who hunt Rikti, so the ship is pretty cramped if you're used to really high ceilings (the hallway through the main deck is about 9 feet tall, so barely a foot above a max-height character). At the moment it's a fairly small ship, with only two decks (operations and living quarters above, hangar bay (with a shuttlecraft) and cargo bay below) and then the rear of the ship is a two-deck-high engine room. I'm using a rikti computer screen to generate a 'force field exit' from the shuttle bay to open space, so if you have flight you can step outside and fly around the ship. Given that you can go 900 up but down to -2000, I might build a second ship below and move everything over to that one, and see about making a much larger vessel. I've pondered a space station as well, but given we can't put custom NPCs in there, I'd have to make it for a different group, or a human-run station. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva Destruction Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 You can't just say that and not post pics. I am also working on a space station but it's taking forever since I am hellbent on making it Not Square. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for pics, I'll walk through and grab some tonight when I get home from work. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WumpusRat Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Okay, took some pictures. The character is one of my aliens, who's minimum height. For a max height person, the ship would be a little cramped. Which was the point. 🙂 The pictures don't really capture everything perfectly, since the lighting is dim (the aliens are from a low-light world), lots of slowly pulsing lights, etc. The rear corridor leading from the command hallway down to engineering and the shuttle bay. Transport room. Med-lab. Captain's quarters. Bridge. Part of engineering. Shuttle bay, complete with shuttle. You can see one of the force screens to let smaller craft out of the bay on the left. The shuttle drops through a doorway in the floor, since it's too large to get out through the small fields. The other field on the right leads to the cargo bay (where all the crafting storage and stuff is). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfamousBrad Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Nice. What item did you use for the inactive viewscreens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sunk the base of it into the floor (since there's no area under the bridge for them to clip into). It worked really well as a big viewscreen. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WumpusRat Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Started building a "mark-2" version of my ship this week. It's about 3x the size, and I'm making the exterior look good as well as the interior. I'll grab some exterior pics (since that part's done) tonight, and then probably make a little video walkthrough when I'm done. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Rep Dacy Posted September 3, 2019 Community Rep Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) Here is a ship I was working on, but am going to redo it with some of the new pieces we got. It was just getting too big, too slow to do base functions. Here is the front, side, and back.... Here is the bridge, with starscreen and vid screen. (All base functions are right on bridge or just outside of it, for easy access)Engine room. I've run out of room, I'll try and get more in another post. -Dacy Edited September 3, 2019 by Dacy 1 -Dacy My base building tutorials are always available for you!

Eva Destruction Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Did you build this inside the plot, @Dacy? If you didn't, what's the floor texture you used for the gym and restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Rep Dacy Posted September 8, 2019 Community Rep Share Posted September 8, 2019 I did build in the plot, because the lighting is so much easier in there. 🙂 I just hid the outside walls with items that could go past them. -Dacy -Dacy My base building tutorials are always available for you!

WumpusRat Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) After running into numerous frustrations with having the base builder not store the proper positions of items when I went to build my ship down at the -1600 mark or so, I junked it and started rebuilding within the base confines instead. I'm going to have the interior be within the base area, and "airlocks" leading from inside to the exterior of the ship via portals. I came up with a pretty decent (if I say so myself) airlock combo of an arachnos doorway spun around so the empty back of it is facing outwards, and a portal placed in the circle opening, which fits perfectly. Makes a nice little circular airlock portal. It's a huge project though, and I'm still in the process of laying the foundation of the ship decks. Once I get all that done, then decorated, I'll build the exterior of the ship outside the base confines, so people will have somewhere to port to via the airlocks and be able to float around the ship in 360 degrees. Given the sheer size of the thing it's going to take a while to build, and taking screenshots won't get the proper feel for it, I think, so I'm going to try and make a video walkthrough. Especially since the ship is for my tiny aliens, who are from a low-light world, thus the interior lighting is fairly dim. Hopefully I'll have it done in a couple weeks. :) Edited September 13, 2019 by WumpusRat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
