To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

here is a type of drilling ship I came up with. The big wheels in the front are more like grinding wheels then a drill.

Nice job on the texturing Chebar, would be nice to see this ship tearing up an asteroid.

thanks guys, this is ment to be something that would be used to clean out an opening or tunnel. Not to collect.

Compared to Chebar's first model this is a Mona Lisa 😀

Hey Chebar with your skills picking up that's for sure you should troll the forums I have seen numerous devs asking for some modeling help, nice way to build the resume of things you worked on.

Oh that some really nice work there Chebar. Can't see from your image but is the blades on the drill flared out a bit so you can see the three different layers of blades you got there? And should the drill head go to a point or is there something on the front that I cannot see that will help with starting the drill hole?

thanks, i didn't show the front of the drill because I'm not sure on what I want to do to finish it. It does come to a small point but it doesn't like right yet. Maybe I'll add a rocket launcher to it, so you can use that to make a starter hole. not sure where to go next with it next. I'll keep playing with it and hopefully have it ready for another texture soon.
