I know this is probably a really stupid way to do it, but I sat down with the "Timescale of LT" poll, Google, a calculator, and Notepad++. twelve hours for a mining trip (720 min) (1) or (360) two days for a car (2880 min) (4) or (90 (max / first paren val) six months for a building (259200 min) (36...

Ahhhhh, that's what you meant. Yeah, that's reasonable. I still think you're going to have to be a coder if you want to write procedural generation algorithms, but designing a single ship ought to be really easy for anyone.

I would imagine it to look like this . In addition, I think it would work much like the nodal interface, in the sense that it can be used in-game. All the variables for the script could be manipulated via nodes, allowing for quick in-game tweaks of values, and then run it, seeing tons of possible r...

public class HelloLum {
public static void main(String [] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}

Actually, timing it to the monthly update might be a good thing if this becomes a regular thing. Contest runs from the day the update video comes out until the day before the next one. Gives those who are eagerly anticipating the next update something to laugh about. ;) I think that sounds perfect,...

Quick, someone fix this terrible mistake!

Would be a McGee's Alice fan, rather... but, I'm a fan of both, so it's all good.

There are some things that are just hard to explain in plain english, I guess. I apologize for those cryptic logs :) I do try to translate them when they are translatable! A quick suggestion as to how you can make it "translatable": Provide a quick example of what you could do with what you're addi...

I'm completely behind this idea. It's single-player, right? You can pause - so pause the game and have a ship editor be completely separate from everything else. That'd be perfect. :) Maybe even a ship editor in the main menu. It would speed up dev stuff, too. I could take it a step farther, though...

Heh heh, true. And three cheers for Mr. Parnell! Not many developers would take suggestions from the community like this!

I guess I see your point? I'd love to see procedurally generated ships that look so awesome, though.

Hyperion - reminds me of this: ACHTUNG! ALLES TURISTEN UND NONTEKNISCHEN LOOKENPEEPERS! DAS KOMPUTERMASCHINE IST NICHT FÜR DER GEFINGERPOKEN UND MITTENGRABEN! ODERWISE IST EASY TO SCHNAPPEN DER SPRINGENWERK, BLOWENFUSEN UND POPPENCORKEN MIT SPITZENSPARKEN. IST NICHT FÜR GEWERKEN BEI DUMMKOPFEN. DER ...

You're an Alice fan too? Lol, that's awesome! And Lmao at your comparison.
