The Chain Ship Project

I don't think it's anything you did so much as it was Comm not understanding how you (and others) did it and trying to get away with being lazy. At least a number of people built without the mirror function, which meant that when he hit the M key he fucked the ship over, leading to multiple layering errors and duplication errors. There's nothing wrong with building without the mirror function (it's not very accurate, for one thing), and so he really should have checked before doing anything.

Honestly I'd suggest that he do it again, this time without using the mirror function, to prevent BoVinE from having to correct everything.

I'd rather people build with mirror, and then just correct the centerline errors that crop up, it's accurate, and if they correct their stuff, there are no problems or accidents through pressing m.

alright, no time for a picture, going camping.

I request that the next person restore some of what got deleted, like the nosecone and the winglets and the circles on the hull, they got in the way of fixing parenting.

It looks so empty with everything missing...

Been working on my version of the Chainship.

No where near finished. Just a WIP pic.

cute purple armour you have there BlueEcho.

This chain ship project is quite interesting, and it seems to have worked out well so far, looks like nothing hideously different in each section so far hehe

i guess the ship will be built out further forward?

back, you want me to put some stuff back on there?

TheBlueEcho · Post by **TheBlueEcho** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 4:14 am

Back? oh good.

I don't mind. But check in with Minja first; I don't want to start another conflict.

I'm almost done, and I've managed to restore everything that was screwed up, so don't worry about it.

Here's the Adjudicator variant I've been doing.

Hull is finished, I'm in the process of arming it and balancing its stats.

I don't like either end of the ship but what's between is pretty good.

Sorry for taking so long, here it is.

It's all parented much more sensibly, and mirroring works fine now. All the stats have been done, the aegises have low HP, the thrusters works correctly, and it only needs its colouring and loadout. Speaking of which, I added one weapon, which I've PMed Chaostheorey an explanation of. (Just to head off LOL only CT does weapons!, I asked to do a weapon or two before TBE closed off any more weapon do-ers)
