Oh, and as an idea... is there a way to push every glowstone (or even the full top layer, and checkerboard style under that) block behind the water out, at the same time? I'm thinking afterburner button. Perhaps linked directly to the bridge. The water is already one block above the visible area, so it would fix itself once they are retracted.

That'd be a lot of sticky pistons...

The fenris is a lot of stone, point? Since we've been granted creative mode for the project, we are only limited by the time we are willing to put into it. I'm not asking so much 'can it be done' as 'is it practical and worth it'. I just think it would be cool since piston operated docking doors are already planned.

Right, I keep forgetting about creative mode. I'd say yeah, go for it. Would look pretty cool.

the wiring is worse.

I can see it doable in a checkerboard pattern quite easily, every piston on the other hand... D:

yeah. you can sorta cheat by putting repeaters in front ala

Code: [Select]

piston <- redstone  <- air
piston <- any block <- repeater <- bring redstone here in some way
< repeat the pattern >

but it might be a smidge tricky to set up right. if you do try something like that, i advise to try it out before making it on the fenris

I'm on it.

Ok, problem: glowstone gets a dark texture when against glass. When not against glass, the water spills everywhere. I'll leave it checkerboarded in case someone else wants to play around with it.

New Engines:

Normal, boring engines...


Afterburners!


And the entirety of the wiring. Should be able to get it to the bridge with a few repeaters.

Can has youtube?

[Pred the Penguin]

Go buy minecraft.

[KyadCK]

Can has youtube?

Yes, you can has Youtube. No complaints about quality though.

And more Youtube. This time of Sandwich's Airlock in action.

Haha, awesome muzak! I'm about to logon and see if I can compact the airlock wiring any.

[Sandwich]

Ok, I'm satisfied with the port airlock (the one on the side of the base station). It has great functionality, with outer and inner doors that work together to never both be open at the same time. It also has warning lights that blink when the outer door is either open, or will open if the inner doors are closed! I'm really proud of that one.

I also made the facade of the starboard airlock, matching the port one, but I didn't add all the same mechanisms since it will be the entry point for the minecart ship tour.

Finally, I marked off a few decks & maintenance decks above the port airlock, just for the heck of it.

Time for another episode of Kyad's Screenshots! Today we feature, again, the engine. But something is new this time.

The operational section no longer uses just 5-blocks of space from the back. It now takes over half, and features a proper engine 'core' as well as two cooling tanks:


And inside the sealed off area is the maintenance room. Complete with catwalks, plasma conduits, fuel and cooling lines:



And as trivia: What movie was sandwich reenacting when standing in the engine core?

Ooh, I know, I know!!!

Star Trek II is the obvious answer, but Event Horizon would be hilarious to reenact in Minecraft.

[KyadCK]

And yet more screenshots

Today we finished the engineer's decks:



It was fully sealed up, but that wouldnt make for intresting pictures, would it?

[Droid803]

Are those reservoirs/glass pipes actually part of the functioning mechanism to run the "afterburner"?

Err... yes?

Looks good, long live creative.
