Next project, I'ma make that.

You are right heed.I also thing Blockland needs buildable vehicles. You can use a brick called Car wheel. and attach it to a plate or something.make it.a mount seat,And maybe a wheel :3
This is one of the reasons Roblox Lags around! The vehicles. I remember way back when i used to play roblox none of the vehicles would work becuse they were scripted wrong. (You know you would need an item to ride a vehicle)
Maybe we can avoid this problem.

Mmm... bumps.

Adding the turrets.


Viola. Suggestions?

So what are you thinking color-wise? Of course the majority of it's color will be determined by the color of the vehicle spawn, but I was wondering if you would have anything else on it, like, say, an insignia or other image. General coloration differences could be interesting as well.

Now that I think about, the insignia/image thing doesn't sound good, though discoloration could be cool. Say you paint the spawn a green color, then areas of the ship are a slightly darker shade of that same green.



Personally I think blockland's vehicles shouldn't be large/ huge. Vehicles that you could normally walk around inside really seems to turn me off when I combine the two in blockland. Vehicles should be limited to ones that you would sit in during the entire time,( Jeep, stunt plane, magic carpet, tank, etc...)and not vehicles that "Could support a whole crew"(Spaceships(single riders okay), Aircraft landing pad boat thing, large boats,ect...) Also, blockland doesn't really support those sort-of things like other games do, so I think it's best to leave out.

This topic has been excessively discussed. We are NOT looking for a super-huge lag machine. Just a moderately sized ship capable of supporting a few more passengers than the twin heli can.

There really shouldn't be more than 3 or 4 of these down at any one point of time. They aren't meant to be like other vehicles where you have a base and a line of them to hop into. No, these are your capitol ships.

I do understand your point of view, however. There are not too many large vehicles and thus their in-game mechanics can be a bit more... tricky. I myself have very, very, very little experience in the scripting of vehicles and thus cannot say exactly how such a vehicle would operate.

As for "...limited to ones that you would sit in during the entire time...", we have determined that there will be no mechanism for walking around whatsoever. Currently, I believe there are no plans to have much of an interior besides the mount points.

Eh, I'm thinking 7 passengers at the most. 4 riders, 2 gunners and a driver. May change over time. I don't plan on making it absolutely HUGE, you know?

Color discoloration could be interesting. But, as for the insignia, that could be interesting. Maybe a specific part could be painted to change the insignia?

I just noticed something:
If you fire the back top turret, wouldn't it fire into the front one? :s
...Or not?

If not controlled and pivoted, yes.

However, no sane gunner will shoot his ally gunner thats watching his back lol.

Note, I'm not sane.

I actually know a number of people who would jump into the ship first and try to prevent anyone else getting on. "MAH SHIP"
