Rust Industries Ltd.
« on: February 24, 2012, 10:53:29 PM »
RUST INDUSTRIES Ltd.

proudly presents


Rustbucket Mk I

Designed for maximum efficiency, crew comfort, and reliability, and constructed only from the best components found lying by the side of the road, the Rustbucket Mk I is everything an aspiring captain could ask for.
(Does not meet emissions regulations, not legal for use on public space lanes.)





(catalog will be updated as more stock becomes available)


Mod currently contains only this one ship, nothing else. I'll look into creating a RI supply station where you'll be able to buy it later. For now just hack it into your game in any way you like.
Feedback is welcome, both for sprites and ship stats.

I like this idea. I wonder if the engine trails could look even dirtier than the older ships in the game already look. It would be cool to see like this really thick trail of dirty engine emissions from all the ships your planning.

I'm definitely looking forward to progress on this.

I was thinking, along with alexanders idea (Which is great BTW) maybe you should add some new weapons to the mix. Low flux, High damage, nice, meaty autocannons or machineguns.

But, to offset their high damage and low flux, have them disable themselves sometimes if you fire too much. Not sure if that goes against your idea for the mod, though.

Easier to just have low flux weapons with just HE damage and the ships themselves have really poor flux control so they'll be effective but a simple shield provides a big problem and trying to equip other weapons to counter their weakness means they have a hard time handling it.

Wow, changing the main color from red to brown really gives it a nice not-fresh-off-the-line feel! Keep up the awesome work, I want to see this become a full-fledged mod like Junk Pirates!

Liking your style, both the design and the "story", reminds me of MC's Industrialcraft mod.

Started with a large sketch, then used vectors to get the basic shape, blocked in the colors, added shading, downscaled to final size, added pixel art details (weapon mounts, engines, and other small bits), then fiddled around with colors and details some more.
