I've updated the ship to use the pattern system, so now you can have a pink one  Also I'm posting it to the tracker for inclusion.

@ NeuralKernel:I'm naming her Pumpkinseed as you suggested. I like the sound of it, and it works in my native language too. We use it in the mirror translation Tökmag (meaning of the seed of a pumpkin, not the fish) on small children, so it's a good descriptive name.  I kinda like the idea of using fish names for this shipyard thing.

A Pumpkinseed was the first fish I ever caught as a kid

I just tried this new version. Now your small courier is my favourite ship. Very very nice... and with forward and read thrusts that are absolutely crazy. This is race ship! :DI noticed that it doesn't have the ID label. Is it intentional?

Thank you, good to hear, these ships are in a good place :)It's not intentional that there aren't ID labels, they don't work on curved surfaces, so I left them out. I might update it the model to use decals, but I'm not sure.I was thinking about the racing aspect too, that's why I've included stuff in the wiki description about that. I have a doodle for an explicitly racing ship I'd like to make, but I think I will work on some kind of very large transport/bulk freighter first. And I want to make a huge o'neil's cylinder station too, with city scape and such.(Just to vent some of my ideas I came up while I was on a retreat )

WOW!!! I'd really love to have an O'Neil Cylinder, with all the panels that reflects the light to the inside. :biggrin:How about some very huge generation ship? Maybe a variant of the O'Neil Cylinder design (Rama?). It would be very cool to find some mega ship, sometimes (better as a rarity). OT: @fluffyfreak: does your Vavatch orbital works with recent builds?

@Tichy, Good god no!  That's on my todo list but needs rewriting from the ground up. So much has changed since then that I'd rewrite it from scratch rather than try and update that code.Really there are better ways of implementing it too, I was hacking around quite a lot trying to learn what I needed to in order to get it working. Wow, that was 2 years ago I last committed to that branch actually  However I agree it would be cool to have them in the game somewhere.
