Container Version
Anyone interested in a container version of this ship? I could try to convert it but Im not sure if I would get it done by the end of the open beta.

Edit : Also if you would like a container version would you like the containers to be in a fixed postition or connected by magnets (would require use of the crane)?

I would love a container version. A magnet system would be cool, but only if it doesn't make too much of a performance or stability hit. Maybe you could do a hybrid thing with only a few containers being moveable and the rest fixed.

I can try, thanks for the hybrid suggestion I really wouldnt have thought of such an idea. If everything goes well the container version will be out before the end of the open beta. I will make the lower ~80% of the containers in a fixed position and the rest will be loadable via a crane.

I think I will make the fixed ones closed so that they dont cause too much lag and make the loadable ones openable.

Once again thanks for the suggestion.

Thumbs up dude. Your work is amazing :hotdogdad: Don't feel too pressured to finish it before the end of the open beta tho. I think it ends tomorrow.

I would love to have a container version of this and if you can like in real life maby fill up the hull with fixed containers and the part that would make it so it cant float just cover it up with some blocks as if they had side coverings and make it so you can go down there and inspect the containers just a idea

I have made an attempt today but wasnt particularly happy with the result, the containers weight quite a lot and make the ship unstable, I tried removing blocks that were between each container to make it lighter but still wasnt good enough. When early access rolls in I might try again. But if we get bigger docks I will be redesigning the container ship fully so that it can actually support the weight and take on more containers and make the ship bigger as well.
