TitusV Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 As the mayor of the settlement of Weelond on An Holli, let me suggest Weelond as a lovely place to build your residence. We currently have a 5db rebate for the next two people to build and license an artisan's shop here, but I will extend a rebate to you for your residence as well: 2db if a small residence, and 5db if a medium sized residence. I could, in my position of mayor of Elysabethtown, offer you the same. But aside from that, I think you choice should depend on your character: if you are a well-bred noble, of an old and respected family, the chance is greater you habit on Weelond, due to that being more settled. Elysabethtown is a frontier-settlement, so don't expect luxuries there! Quote
Tezclatipoca Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Of course, Titus is right, but a more neutral town could be Nova Terrelli in Nellisa island. It is a city held by the crown. On another hand, here is my new freebuild, a little skiff that I enjoyed to build. In such a little scale it is hard to make a good brickbuilt hull ! Quote
Phadeout Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 If you want to join a trade company this would make a difference to where you are locating yourself as you will be doing them a favour by building on their land. It is worth bearing in mind - alternatively Nova Terelli would be an excellent choice I think due to the well-established nature of the settlement and the amount already being built there. Quote

I think i will post it on Nova Terelli. Thanks for the recommendations everyone! The build will be posted soon sometime. Edited March 24, 2016 by Windusky Quote
TitusV Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 My entries for both the Musician Talent Fair and Challenge 2b are up. The latter: Quote
Garmadon Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Just to let you all know that I haven't just stopped building lately... It has been finished, photographed, and destroyed - but I still need to edit the pictures with appropriate backgrounds and have a few other things to be doing before that (as well as a smallish build to make that precedes it story-wise), so you'll have to exercise a bit of that rare virtue of patience...

If we are talking previews of ships here, then I'll have my share! Pride of Elysabethtown Missing at least one deck, stern, rigging(the main mast, which is not what it'll look like once it is finished), sails and some other stuff I'm forgetting now. I'm hoping that I can finish this until the 3rd of April, because after that I'll only have time on the weekends. But luckily I don't have to do anything until then, so I might be able to do that even:D This one won't fit into the current rating though, as I fear there is currently no class which allows a gunrating of 7 or 8 and space for cargo... This also gives me space for my organ which I've build for the musicians talent fair:D Edited March 31, 2016 by Legostone Quote
gedren_y Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 The LDD representation of the Dark Lightning is nearly complete. Her hull, cabin, sails, rigging, and nation flag are done. All 22 of her big guns are in place. A number of details are still to come, as well as some deck surfacing and crew positions. I will probably only register her as a freebuild, since the Dark Lightning is one of the Royal Fleet. Quote
TitusV Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Looking forward to all these wonderfull ships! Quote
Maxim I Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Hahaha, I am pretty sure some of my future soldiers will be modified Peter Pan's Quote

Sir Stig Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Did the changes to properties happen just now? After the month changed? If not, I submitted my medium Commerce with errors... Quote
Bregir Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Did the changes to properties happen just now? After the month changed? If not, I submitted my medium Commerce with errors... What changes? Are they announced somewhere? Quote
Sir Stig Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 I don't know if they are announced. I just noticed a major overhaul of the EGS property and settlement rules. Quote
Kai NRG Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 April will be the start date for the new rules... but hold your horses for a bit while we finish getting everything ready. Quote
gedren_y Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 The Dark Lightning is finished, but my mom's birthday delayed getting all the screenshots. She'll be up some time Monday, and I'll link the .lxf file if someone wants to do the rendering. Quote
Legostone Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Okay, there has been quite some progress on my new ship, the Pride of Elysabethtown: Pride of Elysabethtown WIP She'll be some kind of New Terraman (Indiaman), with around 30 guns and a lot of space for cargo and crew. Are there any good ways besides 32 stud long technic axles to reinforce the masts? Quote
Kolonialbeamter Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Are there any good ways besides 32 stud long technic axles to reinforce the masts? If you keep using 3062 as top masts, flex tubes (they aren't as flexible as their name suggests) might be an option. You could also use the 'official' combi of 6538 and 32062 for the top masts. To strenghten the 'intersections' between the lower part of the masts and the upper parts, you could make use of 3176, or some equivalent. Quote
kabel Posted April 1, 2016 Author Posted April 1, 2016 once you start rigging your masts will actually stabilize Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 once you start rigging your masts will actually stabilize Yes it will help, but still these masts will look nice but cause a lot of trouble building-wise. At least it is my experience that they are looking for every chance to break... Quote
Elostirion Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 How about using staffs (like the one from Gandalf)? Quote
Legostone Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Yes it will help, but still these masts will look nice but cause a lot of trouble building-wise. At least it is my experience that they are looking for every chance to break... I actually found a quite stable solution by running a stretched piece of string through them, the main Mast is now almost solid as if it had a long technic axle in it. If you want I can show you what I mean. Quote
