#pioneerspacesim — Public Fediverse posts

There are two bulkships in development, here in the blockout state, with a Deep Space Miner and a Natrix full of bananas for scale.

Our contributors are silently working on some new features: One among them is a landing aid:

What's that? The fist steps for some #homeCockpit features for #PioneerSpaceSim?

Earth completed another orbit today, Pioneertag is here!
This release brings nice flickery thruster plumes, realistic star colors, trading updates and map UI polish among other improvements and bugfixes.

Our dear players and contributors!
We are nearing our annual Pioneer Day release, just 3 days from now.
So we'd like to put out a call for anybody who would like to contribute translations. Now would be a great time to do so!
We have only one language at 100%, and a couple close to it!

Our community member pebblegarden created a mod with some spectacular new skyboxes ranging from Milkyway variations to nebulae.

One of our artist, @bszlrd made a quick mockup of a possible hyperspace effect in Blender.
While it is not 100% realistic, the aim is to show the field of view contraction and blueshifting that happens in the direction of travel when FTL. Without those pesky x-rays frying the pilot.

Just a quick ballpoint pen and tone marker spaceship sketch. Maybe for Pioneer Space Sim?

Another bunch of images of the Natrix courier, the latest ship I redesigned and modeled for Pioneer Space Simulator

Finished the Natrix, and it got merged last week. So it will be flyable in the next Pioneer release.
Here are some beauty shots rendered in Cycles The orbital is an old work of mine.

Started working on the Pumpkinseed redesign for Pioneer Space Simulator.
A bit odd, because it is one of my old designs, the first I've contributed about 9 years ago.
The first image is where the sketch is at now, and the others are from the blockout. Which are a good base for further sketch refinment.

Started working on the decal detailing of the Natrix, using #decalmachine.

And the model on sketchfab, to show the whole thing off:

Some progress on the Natrix: UV-ed the whole ship. The layout should be image editor friendly, which is important for paintjob creators, who don't necesserily use 3D painting software.
There's a simple AO bake on the model for now.

Snuck in some work onto the Natrix courier rework for Pioneer. Modeling is almost done, onto the decals!

The Day of Pi brings with it a bugfix release for Pioneer, squishing a couple little critters that snuck aboard the February release:

One of our developers, Gliese852 overhauled the flight computer for the last release, which come quite handi for what's in the works now: Bringing manual landings to orbital stations.
The feature is not ready yet, and there's no ETA on it, but here's a little bit of showcase.
