So it just spins?

@Astin Just place it - it turns on on its own.

how turn on

Ahh that makes sence ^^

Not really - SE's collision engine does not allow for that. They more, like, interlock.

Wait so they phaze into eachother?

XD

It'll work fine as long as you don't destroy any blocks with ballistic weapons like gatling guns or assault rifles. That's what admin grid mod is for. Sadly, I cannot remedy rockets and bumps completely since on top of damage (which would be mitigated) they also apply momentum. I tried to counter that with internal dampening thrusters but due to SE shitting itself they do fuck all so the 2 main grids will eventually clangfully meet to each other's demise.

will it work fine without the admin blocks for all mod?
or will it just go kaput?

I'm proud to represent @¢ Alpha

Warms my heart to see Freespace 2 get some love. Amazing work!

@Anubis Also, I'll have to come up with my own model, much like the case was with the Manticore and the Hercules, where only the silhouette was preserved and I had to devise the details on my own. I don't like the modded Sathanas model as it's too blown out and in poor taste. I'm thinking of adapting the design language the Vanduul ships have from Star Citizen. They look much like Shivan.

@Anubis The Colossus seems relatively easy to pull off thanks to the clean-looking modded model and right angles. The Sathanas, however, proved incredibly complex when I was making it in Avorion. It's because of its weird angles, spikes, and thin armour plates. I'm sure I'll eventually tackle it, but in the upcoming Starship Evo game I think, which provides way better building tools.

Damn, can you make the Colossus and Sathanas next?

@Einharjar The first Freespace was heavy on the character cinematics. FS2, however, focused on Bosch'es monologues which gave him more character depth than any other character in the game.

Still, the original portal is 4.5 kilometers in diameter, so there's no way SE would handle that kind of load. :D

O.M.G. Becky. That portal is soooo big. Damnit how did I miss this? I love FS2! Favorite all time space shooter! Oh can still hear the OST of that game, too. Man the atmosphere was so good despite the complete lack of any character cinematics.

I like

Complete brilliance

Beautiful....

The times I got bonked by it in nebula missions.

@blub9529 I`m using an extremely obscure and obsolete mod to hold the rings together. I built it in a world with the mod loaded in it. The rotation is caused by the gravity drives.

I am asking myself one simple question: HOW?
Beatiful work!

@LeeTheFlea A long overdue but here she is.
@Yuna I have an SF Manticore that might inspire you...
@Reimu Hakurei x3 Thanks!

This is extremely high quality. Majestic!

totally love that Knossos Gate

Whhhoooooaaa!!! Cool work man!
