Lethys Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 This is really really interesting. Sensors (plates, lasers, switches) - awesome stuff can be made Escape velocity and orbits (I assume the ship just starts to orbit automatically? Unlike KSP?) Very nice update, thank you Nq Zamarus, Vyz Ejstu, ATMLVE and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATMLVE Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Jynx! Hopefully the new mods can merge my post into yours! I agree, very excited about the sensors, and about the orbital technology. Vyz Ejstu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megaddd Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'm happy to see they've improved the video quality, makes for a more pleasant viewing experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the other way round, doesn't matter Jc said some very very very good things there, I love this update. This is developing really well imho ATMLVE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethys Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 HEISTS CONFIRMED. LASER GRID SECURITY SYSTEMS. You want to explore my underground base? I want to play a game with you.... Love it. You can do lots and lots of wonderful stuff with those 2 interactive elements (push plate, laser)...And from the looks, they want to introduce more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaximander Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Also, if NQ can confirm, is that Box Element at the end of the video, the new Core Unit design?CAuse it looks sick as F, like a Moore Law logical extend on a current day CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethys Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yeah pretty nice art there. And I like those forcefields... labyrinths, bridges, blocking, trolling intruders, fast emergency exits in case of an attack, slowing down people,.... in combination with those sensors it's really amazing what you could do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devu Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Sensors.. nice, the feature of the month . But I have to say I love the style of functional blocks they doing. It fits the game very well. All together with decent voxel build system will look like there will be no limit to very good looking constructs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripper Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'm lovin it. The sensors are great, and there was another "Hub" (logic gates ?) element on the floor that allowed users to connect multiple elements together. They weren't controller DPUs, because JC indicated this was done without scripting. Loved the blue "data" lines to show what was connected to what. Loved the force fields that you could fall through, or use in place of a door. Things are really coming along. Wasn't fond of the switch for the door, but I'm sure it was a placeholder.

Sullos Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Awesome update video!I literally jiggled with excitement when I saw the room with the sensors and the door and just the way things were looking!

NQ-Nyzaltar Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 @Lethys: There is no automatic orbit mode (at least for the moment). Being in orbit of a planet is basically the result of having reached a certain speed (whether by propulsion generated by engines or by inertial speed with engines turned off) while being near a planet in space. @ATLMVE: As there wasn't any answer to your topic, it hasn't been archived. @CaptainTwerkMotor: Yes, at the end of the video, it's the new Core Unit Design. As the 3D Model is nearly finished, with a bit of luck, you will see it in-game in the next DevDiary @Lights: No food system planned at the moment, sorry We wanted to implement tons of cool features for the Official Release, but we had to make tough choices. @Ripper: Yes, the switch next to the door was a place holder, not a final version.

Thanks for answering the questions. With automatic orbit I just meant that you don't need an orbital trajectory as is ksp (right direction, apoapse/periapse, orbital speed). So as I understand it you just could fly up perpendicular to the surface and as you reach the orbit, your ship starts orbiting, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as I understand it you just could fly up perpendicular to the surface and as you reach the orbit, your ship starts orbiting, right? This was the first question that came to my mind as well. If you were to fly up in a straight line away from the planet, you reach escape velocity and shut down your engines, wouldn't you just drift straight away from the planet or would you still enter an orbit?

Ben Fargo Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I like the direction the artwork for the elements has taken. It has a good balance between suggesting new, unfamiliar technology and seeming designed to be functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
