Orca-EVE-Rebuild of Snack95's

Even the Hulk would be just barely possible to build in 1:1 scale in Empyrion. It's still a massive piece of machinery, just over 500m according to this comparison.

My "bigger" orca is 80% finished, i keep postposning the coloring/texturing because the ship is so big at just under 400m.

@Ixx i could sent you a link to my converted version of the Orca (from that python script thingy) plus site is, the ship is a scaled replica. the hull still needs lots of work and theres no interior 'n stuff
the problem i see specially on the Orca, an 1:1 scale replica would be way too big to be usefull in Empyrion (and over the 255 blocks length limit anyway) and a too small scaled version dont "feel" right compared to the massive orginal from EVE
i flown the Orca + a Hulk in EVE for around half a year and i still love the ORE ships
if we ever get drill turrets for SV i'll build a Hulk ^^

Thanks for the link =) I've got some time on my hand, so i'll give the python script an honest try. There are so many nice ships from EVE i really want to try and build in Empyrion.

Finished my Orca, it's roughly 4 tmes as long as the orca above but i want to build one bigger still. Won't link it here, but it's easily found in the workshop if somneone is interested.

@Myrmidon the size of the outer hull depends on your settings in the converter, you can limit the size on the longest axis with a number of blocks (its kinda explained in the readme)
if you go to the page where the author of that tool got his Megathron from there might be a Charon too, not sure.
though keep in mind the block limit of Empyrion, not more than 255 blocks on any axis,
on that note, if you scale a Charon down to 255 blocks length, it should be a huge ship with more cargospace than you could ever need

@Ixx sadly it is the python script converter, i havent found another way yet
the tool can be downloaded here

there is a quite good how-to on the second page so i figured it out, since i have no clue on Python myself ^^
input is mostly .stl or .csv files which can download on some sites that the author linked in his threat.
and the Blocklimit of 20k is way too low for an replica of the Orca. me and stonesword are starting to work on a 1:5 scale model and the empty hull alone has way more blocks..

What tool are you using to convert into Empyrion and from what format are you converting?
I only know of a way that includes python scripts, which is a bit messy for me =(

Hope you decide to make a nice Orca. Spent many hours in the EVE version and made some half finished tries at an Orca meself.

As long as it's under 20k blocks and 500 devices (limitations on HWS server), i will definitely use it in MP =)

@Aranea what tool is that? I would love to try it on Charon.One thing I would also like to know is how empty inside is so one can place lights cockpit O2 stations constructors etc. Is the space enough?

upload it, or add me and do a friends only publish, i'll work on it if you want

i found a tool to convert 3d models into Empyrion Blueprints, got it to work on an Orca
its scaled to ~ 146 meter in length so 1:10 scale to the EVE orginal

not sure if i should upload it to the workshop however... you know its just the pure empty hull

@Myrmidon the size limitation stopped my first try on building an Orca, yeah.
i would buy your Charon

@Stonesword oh btw, we need some Hulk and a Bowhead, too
