Long Ship is Looooooong!

Yes it's just ridiculous. I love how goofy and impractical it looks in the game.
I had to make the turn rate very low so the nose wouldn't swing at mega speed!

That was awkward. I kept scrolling down, thinking the end would never come!

It's even a bit like that ship in Spaceballs. I'm surprised it looks good, even with that length.

Yeah.

Since you mentioned it I looked it up and it takes about 1 minute and 30 seconds from the time you see the nose of the ship until you see it's tail in it's into scene in Space Balls.

Sure!

Thank you.

You'll have to cut and paste the whole URL. The exclamation point is screwing it up.

You may want to resize the sandbox to at least 3000x3000 and up the max range in the game settings when you use Long Ship.

All we need now is a 'We Brake For Nobody' sticker on the rear. ^^

How did you manage to put together such a large screenshot? Do you have a hueg moniter/resolution or something?

I had to do 4 screen shots and then paste them all back together. I cropped each screen shot, rotated them 90 degrees, and put them together vertically so this thread wouldn't have uber page stretching.

I actually have to admit that this ship is playable!

You know, since the core is at the very back, whenever it turns, the nose is going to swing all over the place.

Heh. That's just fine.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, if it were meant to be more "practical" then the core would be somewhere in the middle so the ship would rotate like the fulcrum or pivot point were near the center.

Of course I like the aegis system waaaaaay in the back shielding two tiny sections waaaaaaay in the front.

Is it the entire length of the shipmaker?

Is it longer?

Needs moar!

It's the length of ship maker 3.

Maybe I should have made it look more like this!

if ships colliding DID anything, you could make it into a sword or club
