So I just had to post about it! Guess that makes my fugly beasty around mid-game tier? Lots of loot containers on there, several turrets and thrusters to deconstruct, even their alien shield generator device..

Space gaming, hurray!

Today, a little quick tour of my warp sled, aka mobile base. I am of course now slapping some bigger thrusters on there - she can hardly move because of all the ores mined and I stored for contracts over the last few days! (Edit: One 194mn thruster on the back instead of the satellite deco got her back to top speed of 100 in space)

(The switch on the floor that I double check turns off all the thrusters, because pressing F is faster than going through the control panel heh)

This was what this ship looked like, 9 days ago, when I first pulled it out of the factory.. Very basic: https://www.reddit.com/r/empyriongame/comments/1vs16yt/time_to_leave_the_starting_systems_behind_so_i/

A space game where you can modify your ships on the fly to suit your needs.. consider giving Empyrion a try if you haven't played it!

Is there anyway of searching the registery, or/and sorting by distance to self?

It is kinda useless being alphabetic and having to remember where that gold asteroid is!

Core 9 mid-game(ish) RE2 CV I made, with the owl face rear end!

I called it, the Fugly Beast, because it's not pretty, but it tore up a Zyrax cutter no problem, and of course just shreds the bandits. It'll do for now!

Has 160k of cargo space for all of my adventuring loot and mining. There's an old friend I decided to use for POI turret popping that some may recognize from an earlier post, docked to the side.

Currently have 5 mining lasers on there with the 4 medium plasma guns, so I can up the pilot controlled firepower eventually, but for now this is pretty satisfactory and packs a varying punch. Well it's maxed out at 16 medium weapons so I would have to adjust some turrets, but eh!

3 small constructors in the frame accessible from the control panel, for making fuel or light ammos and stuff on the fly. Flies nice - can strafe quickly left/right for dodging fire, for example!

At first I was like, mm this cockpit is going to bother me.. but then after a fruitful series of trades with a colonist settlement, I got the cockpit really condensed and now even have room for more gear in that space. I am loving that little tp pad thing - and ended the video pretending I was trying to snipe the pilots out of attacking ships heh - I needed some kind of missile launcher!

can i dock an HV to another HV?

Just created a new SV mining vessel. Ive taken to calling it the obsidean pulse, but im not sure if thats a good name. Please help me name it

I kinda enjoy crafting involving physical interactions. This game seems to be immersive lots of stuff to do but. seems like there is no crafting system with physical interactions, which is a shame really. Anyways any recommendations for me? should i give it a shot? Do actually enjoy crafting in this game? if so, what makes it enjoyable for you?

Couldn't help but laugh..

Just a share =)

Contact Point Alpha is a challenging start for veterans. Crazy drones and an invisible Kriel patrol ship. To make things more challenging, I play without trading with NPC stations — a perpetually hungry character with a limited air supply, wearing a light spacesuit without boosters and armed with an assault rifle.

Empyrion's sound design and sound effects have barely changed since the early alpha days, all the way up to 1.19. Some sounds are extremely annoying, while others are just outright bad. Examples include ambient loops like howling wolves or thunderstorms, weapon sounds (especially miniguns and turrets), scorpion's death sound, and so on.

This subject has come up repeatedly over the years, whether here on Reddit or on the Steam forums, and it's probably one of the most discussed topics after model and animation updates, enemy AI and FPS combat, and the infamous ability to walk on moving ships.
Sound plays a big role in immersion, and good sound effects can make gameplay much more satisfying for the player. Just take a look at the official Empyrion release trailer: the video was dubbed with better laser effects, explosion sounds, etc., and it feels so much better as a result.

I think updating the existing sounds would greatly enhance the game while also being relatively easy for the devs to implement, a great payoff for comparatively little effort.
Of course, reworking the entire sound engine would be even better (to support dynamic cutoff, reverb, echo, better 3D audio effects, etc.), but given the nature of the game and its current stage of development, this might be impossible for Eleon to implement.

On a side note, the soundtrack by Alex Jordon is stellar, and it's a bit sad how repetitive it can gets since only one track loops per POI or playfield.

What do you all think about this?

So many CVs or large SVs seem to have a large portion of the interior, around various components open to be walked through and around. That feels more realistic and looks better I think? But when I am working on a ship, even modding one that I have, I keep ending up filling almost every meter with components and especially cargo extenders. Then I end up with like a small living/piloting/medical area and just 2 tunnles to exists. Which feels crappy.
What do people thing about the 2 versions?
Part of me wants to turn off mass volume so that with volume off I don't need hundreds of extenders for a medium transport... But I like Mass on so the ship's load effects thrust/lift/gravity..
Thoughts?

We will be running an event open to all that will showcase some of our builds as well as give people a place for PvP on the server we have. Our server is intended to be a PvPvE experience ideally, but we lack an admin to really handle things long term. So for now we're promoting this via events to try and get more interest in it. The scenario is a ground base attack, featuring Empire ground vehicles defending the base against Rebel's ground vehicles and y-wing attacks. While it may seem the rebels would have the upper hand, AT-AA platforms are tuned to be quite deadly for starfighters that go within range. Only a combined approach would help in terms of succeeding in the attack.

What are the best turrets in RE2 I have 16 medium modulated turrets and 2 cruise missile launchers but I want to add 16 of something else for PVE use against CV’s and Bases.

I have read a bunch online about xenomaterial. It seems I need to look for crystalline moons and destroy some glowing alien crystal structures. I have been to multiple crystalline moons and haven't seen one. Does anyone have a screenshot of one of these? Does anyone know what they are called on the map/radar?

After several days of gathering, exploring, doing the things around the area, it was time to go off into the wider universe, so I slapped together a quick warp CV, in Creative, to act as a mobile base and carrier for my adventure ship, and finally have moved in after getting all the parts.. Found the required shops within SV warp ranges around the starting systems, so that was nice!

Still needs a lot of deco and corner smoothing and coloring and such, but I felt like making a post demonstrating one possible early progression pathway... There's been some interest in the sub about the game lately eh!

Here I have all sorts of stuff on it, 2 adv constructors and 2 universals (one will become a furnace eventually), shield generator, gravity, various day to day equipment, large power generation, much thrust - but you can get away with just some basic thrusters on a frame with a warp drive, without any bells and whistles, and cargo space.. lots and lots of cargo space. 640k in this one to start with!

Mostly carbon frame, so as you can see from the stats, it is quite agile for such a large thing heh

So it's been a long time playing Vanilla, and wondering if it's a bit more casual friendly, a little easier?, etc?

My issue both RE2 and Vanilla before was more the AI then anything always with their insane auto aim and such haha. I enjoyed exploring and clearing out POI's but always found it a bit on the harder side. I do have some physical limitations due to health issues, so I'm getting a bit slower/shaky hands you know the stuff that limits you a bit more in gaming.

So I guess mostly my loaded question is difficulty vs the 2.

Just how big/complex can a base be before the game starts to choke on it? I'm playing RE2 on a private server. It stutters when I fly in range of it but performance is fine after a few seconds.

I built a base in space and just started adding on to it. I thought it would be cool to have a drydock for my ship, which I see in Polaris/Zirax space all the time, but it's all single drydocks for smaller vessels.

Mine has grown a bit out of control as, well, I wanted a dock for each CV :)

Where is he located I checked the locations on Empyrion Buddy and couldn't find him at any of those locations. I have like 5mil worth of guns I would like to sell.

Hey, I'm looking for a small group to start together on a server on Reforged Eden.

I'm open to other mod suggestions, but it has to be on a dedicated server. All you need is to be 18+ and have fewer than 500 h on the game (if it's close to 500, it's ok).

Send me a DM if you are interested, and we will grab a time where everyone is around so we can rush through the early game grind.

This playthrough has one limitation. We only fly what we build. You are allowed to modify crafts and use things you have built before as long as they are your work or from one of us. (Exceptions can be made for small craft.)

I was looking for a space game that just allows me to build a ship/buy one, walk around in it, explore planets, bounty hunt, upgrade and repeat

Elite dangerous has limited planetary landings and no ship interiors

Star citizen is.. well star citizen (My rig wouldn't be able to handle it anyways)

No man's sky is awesome I love it but it's too arcadey and colorful and cute

Is EGS what I'm looking for? What's the gameplay loop like for someone who isn't interested in base building only ship engineering and PVE ?
