It's easy to forget sometimes as the music just sort of fades into the background after a while and there's a million things you want to do (build this, find that ore, fight off evil aliens, etc etc) but #EmpyrionGalacticSurvival really does have an amazing soundtrack...

I really love when games have soundtracks that just sound really nice and atmospheric like this.

Do you recall how shows like #Stargate: Atlantis would have areas that would #progressively #illuminate in response to characters? I play a game called #Empyrion: Galactic Survival that allows designing ships and other structures. I'd posited replicating that effect in the game, but now I've actually done it on a limited scale and it's wonderful. No more shall I pass through doors and have opposing areas go fully light and dark all at once!

#empyrion right now my next goal is to build a cruiser, which will have a warp drive powerful enough to visit other star systems!

I expect the cruiser to be roughly the same size as my entire space station, so quite a large one.

Probably gonna head over to do that now.

Hope you've found this interesting!

#empyrion the hover tank isn't flight capable, so it docks to the top of the heavy transport in order to get down planetside

also the heavy transport is the only ship outfitted with a wrap drive, so the other ships dock on top when I need to move them somewhere

#empyrion I've got 4 ships right now, each specialized to a particular role. There's a "CPU" limit on individual ships, which is what forces specialization rather an one big everything ship.

The four ships are:
- heavy transport ship
- hover tank
- starfighter
- miner

They're visible left to right ish in this screenshot. I put a but of work into coloring the first two.

#empyrion there's also a little docking pad with some static gun emplacements, and some ships

the docking pad is overdue for being expanded, I have 4 ships and its only really sized for 1 or 2

the gun emplacements are next to the docking pad to help support a "hot dock" where I'm under fire as I pull into the station

#empyrion my lil starbase has 3 rooms.

- an empty room facing the sun, the intend to make into a greenhouse
- a catchall room in the middle, filled with (safe) construction machinery, medical stations, storage access points
- a industrial room where all the dangerous (eg. emits radiation) construction machinery goes
