Well, it's fun to make ships in the creator, if you have the patience.
Although I might have made it too small, or maybe it's the all Trinium build I gave it....
Also, I gave it the wrong name, because I decided against trying the Battleship after starting. Didn't find a way to rename ships so far.
Too bad it doesn't say the amount of materials it has used, although I can say it's "valued" at 274.000 credits by the insurance system.

Ha that's awesome @"WPeregrine"
I ended up buying it last night and playing with Scourge, Thomas, and Kalh. Holy hell that game is fun. The ability to design your own ship, trial and error thrusters and engines, as well as crew and making sure you're operating at 100% efficiency is a blast. Obviously a lot of work still, but the potential is huge. Plus when you build a ship it saves the schematics? You could then create a shipline, start a faction, and let your members use those designs for their ships.
Apparently the next update will allow player controlled sectors/systems.
Seriously, this game is a blast.

I have trouble explaining how good this game is... and hopefully it only gets better and better
Only bad thing is... collision damage hurts

Had a slight ragequit moment today. I was trying to see how far would my Naonite/Titanium-based ship go.

I was playing on easy-mode by disabling collission damage, but it turned out that there is a bug that if you host a server with anything but that setting, the one on your save will reset.
I was not aware of this bug, so I ended up smashing my ship against a roid at the very edge of the swirl. You can see my progress here: http://i.imgur.com/z6f6PpU.png
You can actually see where I discovered Naonite and subsequently installed a Warp Drive core to boost my range.
Sadly, by the last few jumps I was running out of money as I was simply trying to get as far as I can, so once I respawned, I found myself with very little resources and not nearly enough to restore my ship.
Oh well.

Anyone interested to make a Steam group to hangout in the game, as Discovery Explorers ?
We could add our steam ids here here is mine : Rubicon141/davesynk

Avorion has received a few new updates, which seem to include the server browser that we all needed. Some other changes to movement and truster mechanics.

Yeah, and the building mode is buggy right now. ;3
RE: Avorion - Freelancer + Space Engineer + X3 !! - Dave Synk - 05-01-2017
Alliances update is live. You can now make player-owned factions and stuff
What's the interest in the game lately ?
RE: Avorion - Freelancer + Space Engineer + X3 !! - Sombs - 05-01-2017
Build-mode is still causing crashes, still. I reported that bug quite a while ago. :C
RE: Avorion - Freelancer + Space Engineer + X3 !! - sindroms - 05-01-2017
To be honest, I am a bit disappointed in how slow the game is progressing so far. It used to have weekly to bi-weekly updates, but now it seems as though the process has stalled.
