Hard Science Fiction - Blog Posts
Before and after pics of a week's progress on a project lol Skydome resort! Almost finished now, it's gonna be in Delta V's in-game promos and station services (you can have your homesick crew rest there (this is located on a space station (the dome is just a bunch of screens displaying pictures of the sky)))
Working on a new spaceshpi???? ?? ?? ?? ? (NO CLICKBAIT) In other news I might do a dev stream sometime soon, making ships for Delta V :)
I’ve been playing a bunch of DeltaV: Rings Of Saturn lately and it’s gotten me into a very intense hard sci-fi mood! So I tried to follow the game’s visual language (and roughly stuck to realism) to make this beast! The THIILSRRRF (Titan Heavy Industries Inter-Lunar Search, Rescue, Refuel and Repair Foundry) - if you get stranded in deep space, one of those is what would come and rescue you (...if you can be found) Has all the nice features like: - 4 heavy manipulator arms for holding the ship in place, complete with fuel hoses for attachment by EVA mechanics - A heavy manipulator arm and a laser cutter on linear rails, for... detaching unneeded ballast - A docking bay with a dedicated fuel fuselage and emergency fissile fuel in case of fixing a reactor failure - Propellant tanks heavier than your mum, and encased in a resilient frame that doubles as a faraday cage, just in case - A guiding rail for ships to easily dock, complete with electromagnetic launch systems for undocking without fuel burn - A robust sensor array for locating distress signals over vast distances Tried my best to make it look like a technical drawing :) Thank u for reading!! I hope you never need to call for one of those
