wow thanks again lyricalprimeboy i glad you have fun with my Blueprints :) i did not feel pressure from you :) just a headsup that i will publish stuff but will take time. hope you have fun and let me know of any other suggestions ideas or problem :)

Also, I just wanted to say how cool your stuff is. I've had this game since launch, but only got back into it a few months ago (as i just got my first pc in July and nothing else I had would run it lol). I don't mean to pressure you at all, and I know that whatever you make will be cool. I literally just got done spending 3 days building the speedy by hand. I love your stuff!

To be clear, when I mentioned docking the large ships, I ment more like they would be outside and you would more or less pull up beside them. I know the Hangar doors are small lol.

would love to build all that :) there will be corvettes and bigger capital ships in the future :) rest we have to see

on a more serious note a few post back their were talk about a new large ship ... i would love to see your take on these class of ship too

-Corvette small, fast, agile, aggressif,no hangar "all enviroment"

-Frigate = Agility (check)

-Destroyer= Medium-small,tad fast, missile orriented, with hangar "low grav enviroment"

-Cruiser = Medium, very well arm, with hangar 2low grav enviroment"

-Battleship = Slow, High Deffence and offence, hangar for handfull of craft, "space only"

Dreadnought = very slow, overkill on offence and defence( must have about 72x turrets minimum on each side, 3x heavy block thick armor all around), few hangar "space only"

-carrier very slow but fast jump capable ( 2 set of jump drive both full power 1 set power up 1 set poewr down, so jump in drop all fighters then jump out) mostly defensif turret and thick armor, very large hangar) "space only)

will make test about the 2 set jumpdrive
the gauntlet as been throwned

your insurance premiums skyrocketed just like your katana

happend to me to one time ;) the funny thing was that only the bottem of the Katana was destroyed. i was roling around on the ground until i saw the back thrusters where still functional. i rotated the back to the ground and flew back to base on them. :)

Sorry kept pushing post by accident
He was a bit too focus on the ship to notice theground and impending doom

yes and mass is to ^^ i dont know the altitued when he tryed to break but even the parachutes could not have stoped him 50 m from the ground ^^

Funny thing that happen on creative. I was with my brother-in-law to practice with the modified of the Gladius fighting large enemy ship from npc mod “air trafic”.We were successful at taking the guns and thruster down. So once that happen I started to slowed down and level my fighter. But my brother-in-law kept on shooting and following it as it goes down till the falling ship crash in the ground, but unfortunately my bro was still nosediving to keep maximum guns on it... he learns that was a big mistake as he crash head first in the ground.... gravity is a bi*** ...

I might have expressed my self wrongly in the dual propulsion post .. sorry.
When I spoke of atmospherics and ion those where not for the pairing of both in one ship but primary for each their own ship like the Rtterschwert and the Gladius. So as viable duo are the Atmos/Hydrogen and the Ion/Hydrogen (primary/secondary propulsion) will elaborating more if my thought and text fail to properly be convey.

ATF_Coldblooded Carebear || about your question.

First about about the dual Propulsion idea. i get your idea and think Its great. until now i tryed to keep the ships as simple as possible. to keep it light and easy to operate. I will check if the dual propulsion has a advantage that would out weight the disadvantage. then maybe i will publish one.

About the heavy Fighter/Gunship im about to release a version of Katan Gladius and Ritterschwert desinged to attac bigger ships. not a true gunschip or bomber but this is also comming. about the propulsion im checking what must be done to use a Interplanetary ship with´Atmo and Ion engiens only. the main problem is all the dead weight the ships hauling around when the Thrusters cant work in space or atmosphere.

The different connectors in the Hangar are placed in that pattern to connect the Medium Miners and every other Blueprint. the placement looks wired but is quiet functional.

About the Base. Im have Planed to construct a upgradeable station that is functional in space and atmosphere. the idea was to build a little survival station and upgrade to a full Base step by step. right now im swormed with project and this at the bottom of the list.
Sadly time is a resource i dont have an unlimited supply of ^^

Hello ATF_Coldblooded Carebear || and lyricalprimeboy thank you both for the comment. I feel honured by your intrest in my Blueprints.

lyricalprimeboy about you question.
Right now i dont have anything bigger that Speedy Frigate.
I have been very hard at work this weak constructing a Frigate with more hangar space. its like the agility but aimed to be 50% heavyer and 50% more thrust. its coming along well. core feature are:
The main hangar with ramp acces a Shipprinter and space for 4 Medium Fighters (Katana, Gladius ...) alternativly it can fit 6 Medium Miners, 4 extra Large Miners. alternativly 2 rovers can fit sacrificing two Xl miners.
The second hangar with ramp acces is having space for 2 Medium fighters, 3 Medium Miners, 2 XL Miners or 2 rovers.
Bringing the total to 6 Fighters, 6 XL Miners, 9 Medium Miners or 4 rovers.
its a pocket carryer ^^
Im trying to adress the thight fit but thats the realy though part ;)

@lyricalprimeboy I second your ideal for a both larger ship or the base.
The only issue I see is if you wish to store your large ship inside where is very safe but their is no hangar door in vanilla that would be big enough to let the Agility in and out safely or making that hangar airtight. There already exist mod for hangar door big enough for it but DerMakrat prefer to not use any mod for easier accessibility by the general engineers.
As for keeping outside the station will mean it’s open for damage from outside force.

So the only way I see this happening is to creating a box just big enough for the Agility to snug in. And having a large enough opening at the bottom for the ship to rise into, while having enough weapon turrets on the outside to deter any invader.

I love your stuff! I was wondering if you'd ever build like a huge megaship or Space station, or even just a smaller ship with a bigger hanger, one that's specifically designed for your ships (especially the mining ones?) I know all your ships fit in the speedy and stuff, But its a tight squeeze lol. I also noticed that A lot of build that have connectors that go unused.

Sorry, Its hard to put what I'm imagining in words. Basically, I ship with a hangar that can have a bunch of ships, like all 3 XL Mining ships for example, and then like a fighter and stuff. Also, a space station would be cool as like a permanent base of operations, where you could dock large ships like Speedy and Agility to restock/refuel

Have you ever thought of creating fighter with dual propulsion like a Rittershwert/Katana or a Gladius/Katana where either the ion or atmosphere thruster are primary and hydrogen thruster are assisting them as a slight boost when they need it.

I was also wondering if you have ever design a heavy gunship for single or two seater (pilot, gunner/bomber) the role of that ship is to take down larger grid ship while he himself is a small grid ship.
Weapon loadout would be about
7-8 turret (Gatling/launcher)
20-24 fixed Gatling/launcher front or rear facing
Primary Propulsion atmo/ion (pending on where they be deployed)
Secondary propulsion hydrogen for turbo boosting main engin.

How would you envision such ship?

understanable. Guide to the Fighters is coming. Untill then Stmosphere is Atmosphere only to a elevation of max 5000 m. Space/Moon is Ion thrusters so no flight in atmosphere stay away from planets with it and at an elevation of aprox. 30 000m interplanetary can fly everywhere. Have fun :)

Yeah, it's just sorta confusing which one to use for what.

Thank you both for your comment.
@Chive This is a Space only ship, using only Ion Thrusters. The two previous one were Atmospheric Thrusters (Gladius) only and Athmospheric Thrusters mixed with Hydrogen (Katana) for Interplanetary use. The ships look very similar and have very similar features and flight characteristics. the main difference are the thrusters and Fuel used. hope that answeres your question.
I was thinking of releasing identical ships but with different color Palets. But i did not want to flood the Workshop or disorient any user.
@Burg gute frage es wird noch weitere geben aber wahrscheinlich eher sowas wie Bastardschwert, Langschwert oder Pike. Aber der name ist gut vielleicht bau ich was damit.

Whats the difference between this one and the previous identical ship?

gutes Schiff aber wann kommt das Königsschwert?

Thank you Colonel Gant. Glad you like it. May it serve you well :)

As always, another great ship!

Check out Spaceman_Wils video on my Fighters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0ALApawyps Im Honoured that you took so much time. Thank you very much

oh no hope not.

I'm use to be forgotten

so one conveyor was missing is fixed now @ Gene R you have good eye for details
@Carebear sry forgett about that again.

hello Gene R. thank you for your feedback will fix shortly

Built this ship in Survival. Looks great, is very agile. A couple of bugs though - for some reason gatling guns 10 and 12 cannot be loaded, and one of the screens in the cockpit still says Katana.

Did you put the batteries a different colors like we spoke before?

must say i love your enthusiasm ;)

Will also be tested

Maybe you hit "p" by mistake it detaches all landing gears and connectors

I was guessing as much on a afterthought, but I also thought it would alter the progressive astetic of the propulsion of the trio ( two round and one rectangle)

I going to have to make a few test with tha Agility and Sirius to see if the issue I had can be fix using the locked landing gear while in the docking port of the Agility.

To summarize the issue for you I was lifting of with agility while the Sirius was docked to a connector only and by making a abrupt elevation it appear that the Sirius got disconnected from it’s port and ...klang issued... so I will be looking at the lock geR to see if it fix that issue, if so then that mean I will have to set any of those three fighter nose towards the rear and he won’t be receiving anything from the main craft...

Hello Carebear no did not want to put in a dlc block if not neseded. I would exclude people without it. There are 3 transparent lcds but its still functional without them.
@laserraygun also posibly is arming sword or knightly sword. But i wanted a german titel and Ritterschwert sounds awesomly German. Schön das sie dir gefällt. Da kommt noch mehr :)

Have you thought of using the spark of the futur DLC sci-fi ion thruster instead?

Or you have decided the the normal version was more suited for the conformity of visual look of the 3 variations?

Gibt auf Deutsch ist "knight's Sword". Sie ist hübsch!

i have been busy :)

Twice in one week. Well done!
