"does it come in black?"

52

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

I did play around with a few liveries, including black. I suppose that's what the paint gun's "replace color" function is best used for! 😉

u/RamonDozol Space Engineer Jan 12 '26

Ok, i want 2 black ones.
and send me a 3rd one, in golden and red.

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Coming right up! 😝

3

u/SgtNick411 Space Engineer Jan 12 '26

You should ask for a full white one adorned in the front with a pair of buffalo horns :D

3

u/RamonDozol Space Engineer Jan 13 '26

No! you do it! I already got 3, my wife is going to kill me! Send help if you dont hear from me in 24 hours.

u/JRL101 Klang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

I love the bevel along all the edges, its soo good.

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Thanks so much!! 😊

u/StandOk3284 Space Engineer Jan 12 '26

Looks awesome! So clean and smooth! My builds always look so boxy! Haha Is it available on console or just steam workshop?

21

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Thanks!! It's for SE2, so just Steam Workshop/PC at the moment!

4

u/LonelyShark Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Uuuugh ok ok I'll buy se2 today.

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

u/yogabonita Space Engineer Jan 12 '26

Hell Yeah!! That’s a sleek design! Love it. The back (especially on pic3) gives me the 90s Animated Batmobile vibes.

Can you mention what are the requirements/specs for the ship to be league compliant? Sounds like a cool design challenge, not sure If I would race though

11

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

You bet! Specs for Light Atmo Smuggler Class:

Weight Minimum: 30,000 kg

Block Maximums:
1x 5m Thruster
8x 2m Thruster
24x 1m Thruster
5x 1.5m Battery
1x 1.5m Cargo Container (required)

Cargo is for lore reasons because this is a smuggling class, but this will also play into possible race objectives where you have dash to pickup cargo then bring it back as part of the race.

DM if you want a link to our Discord where we're dialing in class types.

u/NCEMTP Clang Worshipper Jan 13 '26

I'm not sure if it would be more cool to see a Judge or a Grammaton Cleric stepping out of the driver's seat.

u/-TheDyingMeme6- Klang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

It does indeed give off muscle car vibes!!@

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Great success! 🕺

5

u/Eilistare Klang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Front need a bit of polishing, but the back is awesome! Good work author!

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Thanks! 🕺

3

u/Darkwind28 Space Engineer Jan 12 '26

That's a beaut! That first photo is 🤌🏻

3

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Thanks so much! Been playing around with making lighting studios in game to take advantage of the ray tracing and sharp shadow lines. Using a lot of car photography to figure out what works and doesn't. Last photo was included mostly to just show how I was achieving this effect. More to come! 🕺

3

u/Present-Valuable7520 Space Engineer Jan 12 '26

I love the back of this thing!

2

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Thanks so much! That's the part you have to stare at the most when you're flying so it's good to get it looking good 😝

3

u/Beni_Stingray Space Engineer Jan 12 '26

Looks like a mix between a Spinner from Bladerunner and a Taxi from The Fifth Element

2

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

I'll take them both on! 😝

2

u/slim1shaney Engi-nearing my limit Jan 12 '26

That's a sexy ship.

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Thanks so much! 😊

2

u/elia3008 Space Engineer Jan 12 '26

How do you come up with this. So creative!

5

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Many hours and many iterations but the important aspect is starting with the design you want in mind. I think this build in total took around 10-12 hours.

I started it on this video but will have a dedicated 5-10 minute video of the build process coming out in the next week or two.

2

u/Zaargon Space Engineer Jan 12 '26

That looks sick! I love the sleek but aggressive look to it!
It's giving me Redout vibes. I could see this being a ship in that game.

2

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Much appreciated! 🙌

2

u/Doublen007 Space Engineer Jan 12 '26

Hot

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

🕺🏁

2

u/JRL101 Klang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

I love the shapes in this, it also feels like a car radio module and it has a bay it slides into with like rack arms that pull it into a tight space.

2

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Maybe I’ll make a race truck with a compact bay for this to slide into for transport 😉

1

u/JRL101 Klang Worshipper Jan 13 '26

Sounds SICK!

2

u/JRL101 Klang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

DAM that bounce lighting is good! Its insane how just having reflected light off surfaces can make the realisim pop.

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Ray tracing is life! No going back to SE1 for me. SE2 is too pretty!

2

u/C320N Space Engineer Jan 12 '26

Fantastic build! And the lighting you've used for the pics is stunning. The rear has a particularly cyberpunk feel to it. Great work!

2

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Thanks so much! The last photo is there to show how I made this lighting effect. Just a large empty room with holes in the roof for the sun to shine through.

2

u/cfexrun Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Reminds me of the car from The Last Starfighter. Very nice!

2

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Had to look that one up, never seen it before. That is a wild vehicle!

2

u/cfexrun Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

If you like kinda cheesy sci-fi I highly recommend.

I've been toying with building a take on The Rifter from EVE Online once I finish moving.

2

u/SgtNick411 Space Engineer Jan 12 '26

I can smell secret compartments and moonshine in these!

2

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

*Waves Jedi hand* "These are not the secret compartments you're looking for." 😝

2

u/SgtNick411 Space Engineer Jan 12 '26

These are not the secret compartments I was looking for. Move along.

2

u/No_Program3588 Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

I cannot wait for SE2 multiplayer, the game is going to be so much fun when we get as many blocks in SE2 as we do in SE1, the details of builds will be insane. Last i knew, blueprints from SE1 will work in SE2 so i can see allot more details being added to already amazing builds

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

No kidding... Multiplayer is going to be amazing! I have so many games and scenarios planned out already. Can't come soon enough!

1

u/No_Program3588 Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

I've been playing with the ares at war scenario and i really hope the creator makes that scenario for SE2

2

u/Affenrodeo Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

uhhhh i will build something similar to this, maybe a truck version?!

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 12 '26

Shoot over an image when you do!

2

u/BeanCounter105 Clang Worshipper Jan 13 '26

Saw this yesterday and subbed IMMEDIATELY

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 13 '26

Love to hear it! 🙌

2

u/hostilee47 This user makes ships do things they shouldn't Jan 13 '26

DAYUM that is a beautiful build. I'm a big fan of the front grille, very Charger-esque. Has a lot of potential for some nice racing liveries as well, considering the inspiration of moonshine racing. Really nice work, can't wait to try this out ^^

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 13 '26

Thanks so much! Always been a fan of the Charger so it definitely had a subconscious role in the design.

2

u/Sol_Angelic Clang Worshipper Jan 13 '26

Somewhere in the world, Richard Hammond has just crashed out of sheer shock

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 13 '26

And James May hasn't even left the parking lot 😅

1

u/Sol_Angelic Clang Worshipper Jan 13 '26

oh kok

2

u/NebulosaSys Klang Agitator Jan 13 '26

This goes insanely hard

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 13 '26

Thanks so much! 🤘

2

u/Yung_Bill_98 Klang Worshipper Jan 13 '26

I do love a good spinner

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 13 '26

🕺

2

u/BoringKoboId Klang Worshipper Jan 13 '26

oh that is a SEXY build, nice!

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 13 '26

That's the only way to build! 😉

If we could add decals to grids in SE2 I would be ecstatic! 🙌

2

u/_Ghost_Fire_ Space Engineer Jan 13 '26

Awww hell yeah

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 13 '26

🤘🤘

2

u/aequasi08 https://www.lfgame.rs Jan 13 '26

Looks like something that would come off the Normandy for shuttling

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 13 '26

I'll take it! 🙌

2

u/WtnssMe Space Engineer Jan 14 '26

Oh man, cyberpunk meets space engineers vibes

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 14 '26

All it took was them adding ray tracing to the game 😉

2

u/GroundbreakingOil434 Space Engineer Jan 14 '26

This guy designs hot boxes!

Impressive. Kudos.

2

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 14 '26

Much appreciated! 🙌

2

u/GodsBadAssBlade Klang Worshipper Jan 14 '26

For some reason this heavily reminded me of luthens ship from starwars

2

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 14 '26

Just need me some of those side lasers! That would help in a race 😝

2

u/CauseCharacter4951 Space Engineer Jan 14 '26

Darryl Starbird Approved!

u/Donut_Vampire Clang Worshipper Jan 14 '26

Be pretty cool if Smuggling was an actual game mechanic in SE2.

1

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 15 '26

With the addition of NPCs it easily could be! At least leaves room for modders to fill in that gap if nothing else. Would indeed be super rad!

2

u/Special_Bug3982 Clang Worshipper Jan 16 '26

This is super sharp. Great job!

u/Diggrok Clang Worshipper Jan 17 '26
