OK, truth is, I just worked it all out in my head... like literally 2 days ago. I got a little frustrated and changed my mind a few times, but I like it now, and I think it will be worthy of the Chapter 100 landmark. Just bear in mind I can only work on it over the weekends.

Xurkitree Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Thompberry tries to get out of the stayputnik he's trapped in due to a universe update but is unsuccessful. would you know anything whether this is going to be fixed or not before 1.7??

Just Jim Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hey everyone, just a really quick update. I was able to work on this over the weekend, and check it out... This is Minmus colony... only this time it's in version 1.6.1. Emiko is caught up. I've finally worked out all the little details for the next chapter (and there are a lot) and I'm starting to gather up the screenshots. I'll keep working on them this week during my off hours. I promised something really special for chapter 100... and I hope y'all like what I finally came up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboslacker Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hmm. It looks like some sort of drilling rig powered by a nuclear reactor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhetaan Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 @Just Jim: I don't know how often you get comments to this effect, but it isn't often enough, so I am going to point out that you have an amazing eye for design. Many people who play this game choose function over form--and admittedly, that's not wrong--but there's a lot to be said for craft that complete missions with style and panache. Assuming that they're not doing so already, Squad ought to put you on redesigning all of the scenario vessels, bases, and so forth to give them the same elegant, polished look that you give to everything in Emiko.

I believe it's called the A.R.C fusion reactor, or something like that. Not sure if it actually needs cooling towers, but that fits into @Zhetaan's really nice comment: 12 hours ago, Zhetaan said: @Just Jim: I don't know how often you get comments to this effect, but it isn't often enough, so I am going to point out that you have an amazing eye for design.

I've been trying really hard to make sure everything looks as cool as possible. Even if it's not necessarily required... like dual cooling towers for a fusion reactor... I don't know if I really need them or not, but they look awesome, and are almost psychological. Most people see cooling towers and immediately think reactor of some kind. I decided way back at the beginning I would not just write a story, but do everything I could to make sure the ships and bases and such looked like they belonged in a campy sci-fi series! I am so glad you like them!!! Edited January 23, 2019 by Just Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know if that's exactly what he is doing right now. I guess we'll know when they update the scenarios unexpectedly, and the ship designs all scream @Just Jim.

I don't know if I really need them or not, but they look awesome, and are almost psychological. Most people see cooling towers and immediately think reactor of some kind. True, fusion reactor may require much less cooling than fission reactor of similar power output, because fusion reactor should be capable of harvesting energy from reacting plasma directly through electromagnetic fields. Still it doesn't take all the energy (so you at least have to deal with reacted plasma and there still is possibility to harvest more thermal energy from it), and you definitely still need to cool the coils and reaction chamber walls. You just don't go thermonuclear without having to deal with the thermal part of it. And I totally agree about combining nice design and some fancy extended functionality with the basic intended function - it always makes the mission more lively and individual. That's also why I don't really like minimalism challenges which encourage to strip everything but bare minimum of specified parts. I still prefer to add this (because why not? it's cool addition) and that (to make it a bit more plausible...) and then something more (it's just fancier this way) - and if it ends up several times bigger, then it's go big or go home. And you are just the master of making it both highly functional and very nicely designed. Keep up the good work, and we are faithfully awaiting every next chapter!
