XPAR Hihat (Vanilla Starter Ship)

Description
Vanilla. Contains no exposed engines, one jump drive, 2 refineries, 2 assemblers, 1 arc furnace, 1 oxygen generator, 2 connectors.

Mix of reactors, batteries, and solar panels. Landing gear, space for upgrade modules.

Mimir will keep you posted on the status of the ship at all times.

Made to test ships using some of the ways to trick out your engine layout. Works fine in survival with thruster damage turned on. Yes, it flies fine. Lots of forward thrust, but the brakes are a bit weak.

Well, some of the Hihat's systems are broken by updates, but it's nice to see the basic idea continued! I'm not playing the game these days, so I can't review it in any detail, but I'm glad someone is inspired!

I did an homage to the HiHat with a hidden-thruster high-atmospheric siege carrier. WIP; I have to do lighting and paint, a bit more decorative stuff, and hook up the code on the torpedo printer. Let me know what you think, wise master ;) http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=606410495

Awesome! I will update my blueprints this weekend :D thanks for taking a look!

I updated the scripts aboard the Hihat to average all batteries instead of choosing an arbitrary one.

It's easy enough to reprogram to monitor all the batteries, I just never thought this would get popular. Also, the rename bug was causing problems.
FPC 17 Sep, 2015 @ 5:35pm 
Maybe that's the problem. I thought it would manage overall batteries not just the one. I will try draining just the battery and see what happens.

@Fowlplay: Are you sure batteries aren't working? I see it working. It does only monitor battery 5, it's not an aggregate like some of my more advanced designs.

Ended up using your ship (or a projection of it) in my release just now of what I think is the first multiplayer safe 3d printer. Is that ok? Also, would love your thoughts on it, and how to improve.

NBD and no rush; I know your busy!! Thanks for your awesome creations :-D My favorite ships are the most practical ones; and yours are incredibly practical and well laid out.

I'll look into it.
