Requesting ship designs

[Chris]

Greetings! We are hoping to add new starships and space station designs to the base game, and we need your help. We want brand new players to experience the variety and creativity you have shown within our ship editor. We need all kinds of designs - small and large, combat, industry, stations, everything. The more variety we can add to the base game, the better.

If you’ve made a ship or station design that you are proud of, and would like us to consider including it in the base game, there are several ways you can send it to us:

1. Email the .ship file to [e-mail].
To save a .ship file, first export the ship from the game, then look in the save folder:
- Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Introversion\LastStarship\ships\ 
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/LastStarship/ships/ 

You can also just send us a link to your workshop item on Steam, either by email or by replying to this thread.

Many thanks designers!


Chris

Ooh, I've just uploaded Plectrum Mk1 to the Steam Workshop, and added a bit of a Top Trumps style description to it: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3153315802
It's quite a nice little ship I think.

Nice! Now you've reminded me this thread exists, I'm going to polish and share mine...

Here's my first attempt at ship building. This flits around making Deuterium for the fleet, but has to stay away from trouble.

To the dev's. I know this is off topic but I don't know another way to get it to. First off. Love the game. I know it is a work in progress. I wish there were combat lasers and or particle weapons in the game. Just seems odd they aren't available given what we know in real life now and what must be possible in the future. There's no missiles either weather anti-ship, anti-fighter, and also anti-missiles if you have missiles. Would be cool if we had to design them. Regarding some things in the game. Having trouble getting robotic arms to work. Also having trouble with getting oxygen and food production going. A lot of things have bare descriptions and good luck figuring out how to get them to work properly. We could use some more info. Don't get me wrong, figuring out some things is part of the fun but somethings need some more info please. One last thing. Any chance we can get energy shields of some kind?

You’re right, this is off topic.

If you have feature suggestions, raise them on the GitHub[github.com] where they belong.

Here's my second go at ship building.

Both of my designs are heavily Alpha 8 influenced.

Hi Chris
Really enjoying the game and honestly probably the creative mode more than anything else. Would love it if you would consider any of my designs for the game. these are some of my better efforts.

I wish we could overhaul our spaceships at shipyards to reverse damage done to our ships just like is done in real life.

My Sector Fleet. I'll look into setting up a version of what I visioned while playing through sectors over the weekend

Once developed, it becomes quite dangerous, and expensive.

Here's my attempt at re-building the JMC Mining Ship from scratch, with automated production from ore to final goods. No weapons at all, designed to be a passive ship with escorts if needed.

Updated the JMC-II to v2 to improve efficiency. Needs a LOT of ore to run at capacity, but can churn out 100s of millions worth of Energy Transmitters at full stretch. Power also way over spec, lots of headroom for extra kit.
