you can set the launch sequence on a timer and if you time it right you can also make it automatically brake when out of gravity well

cinnamon 11 Feb, 2018 @ 11:10am

you just need to scroll wheel yourself out the frame so

cinnamon 11 Feb, 2018 @ 11:09am

(nevermind, it occasionally goes far too close to the player so its apparently impossible to place)

cinnamon 11 Feb, 2018 @ 10:58am

I'm having the same issue as @zero55 currently

Mikeangel [author] 8 Feb, 2018 @ 11:10pm

I can't really think of any reason for that to happen. I have had no problems placing them, and I imagine most of the people who have tried haven't had either. :/

zero55 8 Feb, 2018 @ 5:21pm

block limits were disabled and i was placing it on the moon. i have no mods and followed the instructions to the letter. yrt the frame is red.

Mikeangel [author] 8 Feb, 2018 @ 12:58pm

Maybe you have block limits on in the game settings

zero55 8 Feb, 2018 @ 12:56pm

the game will not alow it to place

Mikeangel [author] 8 Feb, 2018 @ 6:54am

i probably pinned the problem, currently when you separate the ring from the tower it is considered a station and as thus cant move at all. Check new instructions.

Mikeangel [author] 7 Feb, 2018 @ 10:28pm

What's the problem?

zero55 7 Feb, 2018 @ 1:53pm

the blueprint doesnt work on the latest vesion

Mew 5 Feb, 2018 @ 9:43pm

What would be a good setting to lower it to?

Mikeangel [author] 5 Feb, 2018 @ 9:41pm

Well, it is tuned to work with loaded pods. There's little sense in launching empty ones apart from testing. If you want you can lower the gravity of the ring.

Mew 5 Feb, 2018 @ 9:28pm

So i basicly have to put stuff in it?

Mikeangel [author] 5 Feb, 2018 @ 9:27pm

Because it's empty. A 800.000kg one will just be slowed down

Mew 5 Feb, 2018 @ 9:03pm

Ok it does but the ring doesnt stop the pod it stops then hurttles it back down

Mikeangel [author] 5 Feb, 2018 @ 9:01pm

With my game settings the ring automatically becomes a ship when you detach it (although it no longer seems to work after the update. The pod should reach the ring. Maybe you have the dampeners on.

Mew 5 Feb, 2018 @ 4:12pm

and yes i am on the moon

Mew 5 Feb, 2018 @ 4:12pm

and the pod doesnt reach the ring

Mew 5 Feb, 2018 @ 4:12pm

or else it wont launch

Mew 5 Feb, 2018 @ 4:12pm

you forgot to mention turn the ring into a ship before you connect to the station

[UESC] Gladius 2 Feb, 2018 @ 10:44am

I swear this is the last place I would have imagined seeing hate speech.
That aside, absolutely awesome dude! Never seen anything like it!

LastThymeLord 2 Feb, 2018 @ 10:36am

TI-92 is just upset about being completely obsolete.

Shonnas 2 Feb, 2018 @ 3:38am

top work, - T192 you are a cretin

Mikeangel [author] 1 Feb, 2018 @ 10:45pm

Thanks for that nice and useful comment TI 92.

Gnome 1 Feb, 2018 @ 4:52pm

thought it was cool until i saw your gay fanfiction in the description

k_medlock 1 Feb, 2018 @ 1:41am

Nicely done mate!

NYVS 30 Jan, 2018 @ 5:51pm

You have beaten me to the punchline. Have you designed a separate blueprint for a orbital cargo capture ring. My plan was to implement a system like this to operate in a similar manner to a space elevator (minus potential SE game system issues associated with the ridiculously long "cable").

Mikeangel [author] 30 Jan, 2018 @ 3:37am

hmmmm. You could expand the gravity field range of the railgun and use it to stop as you come down. But if your ship cant fly in the moon its not going to be useful

gorgofdoom 30 Jan, 2018 @ 3:28am

This is really cool!

Now... how do we get back down to the planet without destroying our prescious plunder?

Mikeangel [author] 30 Jan, 2018 @ 2:56am

Mount it in rotors for aiming and you are good to go.

OV-103 30 Jan, 2018 @ 2:41am

Could be weaponized as an anti-capital weapon. It's already a massive coilgun.

Mikeangel [author] 29 Jan, 2018 @ 10:37pm

Would depend on the ship, how heavy it is and how many artificial mass it has. It can probably launch fighters without problems.

PacificAsgard 29 Jan, 2018 @ 10:22pm

could it launch a small ship if it fitted onto launcher?

iDrinkSoup 29 Jan, 2018 @ 5:13pm

Great idea, jumping in the game to see this and how i can adapt it to my fleet. Nice concept !

Mikeangel [author] 29 Jan, 2018 @ 8:03am

After more testing, i have decided the stop strenght is indeed excesive for empty pods, but lowering it will make it unable to fully stop loaded pods, so it will remain the same, as loaded pods are its priority. Lower the gravity to around 1.5-1.8 for less heavy pods if you wish

Mikeangel [author] 29 Jan, 2018 @ 7:39am

You would have to adjust either the railgun to make it launch the pod somewhere around 100m/s, or the stopper to be able to stop at whatever velocity the pod arrives. Harder, but it can work

petilounet 29 Jan, 2018 @ 6:57am

can it work wise speed-mod?

Mikeangel [author] 29 Jan, 2018 @ 2:44am

I will try to readjust it, but it has to be able to stop a loaded pod.

petilounet 29 Jan, 2018 @ 2:43am

i think the stop is too powerfull it be nice if wise some sencor start stop the stop ring

Korvatus Klok 28 Jan, 2018 @ 9:47pm

Now that's down right awesome. Looks great and has an interesting function. I really feel there should be more infrastructure designs, too many military builds.

Mikeangel [author] 28 Jan, 2018 @ 1:54am

Thanks!

TheSilverInfinity 27 Jan, 2018 @ 5:40pm

Noice m8!

Quartofel 27 Jan, 2018 @ 1:26pm

I've made similar thing looong time ago, but it was not nearly as good looking and well made. Great idea with stopping ring!

One of my faves here.
