WE NEED: Sketches of how Space Mode should look. | Project Porcupine | Forum

sweet! yah i looked up that game and drew a picture so others good understand better. since I am not the best at explaining stuff. :o

O.K. So when quill was showing what he had made up for the "on ship thing" I made me think more and more on how it should work. and I came up with this…I'll tell you now a sort of overview but tomorrow when I get some time I will make some pics to better show off what I am trying to say.

O.K. Sooo. Your Ship, your way of travel, your home.

Basically at the beggining you get to choose between a few "hull" types. and basically the "hull is what kind of things you can have on the outside of your ship and it also tells you how much room you have inside your ship.

Now basically what has been going on now is this idea of these little boxes and what not… but I saw the big picture of what a bunch of them looked like together and I thought man…that is just too…boxy…or plain would be better. but what evz.

so instead of these boxes that are arranged in a box I thought maybe you could build your own walls…and basically lay out the floor plan for the inside of your ship :D

But…the way this is really you would have to have the cockpit and the way of entering already built in. at least the area designated cockpit and  the entrances and exits. and the player can kind of decide how they are aranged or how they work…because this way you can have a basic modeled ship and a personalized inside with everything you need!

but say you can put like mining lazers sensor arrays guns of any kind or what not on the outside in these "slots" and change the color of your ship add like imported images like a >:D face or something just to put on the side…idk…make them built in?…but basically not make the outside build your ship from scratch…it would be easier this way?

but also on the inside…once you have layed out your basic floor plan you designate rooms like in dwarf fortress…like…engine room has engine sensors engine coolers engine controls…stuff like that…and the storage has storage things and the guns room guns things…shield room sleeping quarters crafting room…bacta tank or some kind of healing thing…(this would allow this idea I had of when your in a dungeon and you "die" you end up getting teleported into the heal tank and you heal up there…but you don't really…"die"…so you can continue your adventure…but you get reset for that dungeon…but you still get all the loot you had when you teleported?…idk…idea to discuss at another time)

but also…you can set up defences for your ship…these could be as simple as turrents on the walls or maybe traps or patroling bots that will automatically patrol and run to the door to prevent boardings?? and you can make them in your crafting area? so many things there can be!!!

But I really like this idea…I can't think of any game like this…with the inside anyways…

but um…today I guess it is…12:25 21st of feb…in the morning..:D need sleep…tomorrow though I will make a couple pictures about my idea…this will be awesomeeeee :D

(and I would also like to know if there is anythign that needs to be made…as made in blender…like monsters spaceships bins these "modules" that go on your ship?…maybe a make these for now thing would help because I have quite a bit of freetime and not much to spend it on…that Interests me as much as stuff like this )
