Designing interiors is a rather laborious and time-consuming process, even for someone with experience with 3d modelling tools.  To save myself (and you) some time, I've put together a bit of a starter kit of interior pieces with which to build out the interior of a ship, similar to the parts from the old Garry's Mod spacebuild gamemode.  Everything in the Blender file is on a grid, so it all snaps together nicely.  Also included are some goodies like doors, 3 bridge models, and a few pieces to help you integrate the doorways and bridge models into your hull.

The idea is to get the interior rooms built up, then build the hull around them.  Export everything to .3ds and you're ready to start putting in voids and such. 

5/13/2019 - Added fighter/shuttle parts (no UVs yet). Fixed origin on hangar connector/entrance bits.

These parts are mostly intended to have a connector/doorway inbetween rooms, however many parts fit together without them.



The bridges have 3 parts: The interior (room), exterior (hull), and the window



An example of parts put together (without a hull)

Hospital Medic Station
Hospital medic station not usable.

Avatar can now use hospital medic station to perform medical procedures on a patient, just like the sick bay of a ship.

Hospital Supplies Needed
Hospital medic station cannot function without medical supplies.

Hospital now imports supplies used by the surgery station. It also imports pharmaceuticals and a few foods. Its rate of import is the slowest possible but it will still eventually fill all of its storage space. Hospital designs need very little storage space.

Doctor Needed
Hospital medic station would be more helpful if it was operated by an NPC.

When you enter a room that contains a surgery station, a city worker will operate the medic station. It may take up to a minute for the doctor to arrive. A doctor will not appear if the building has no workers, as shown on the Building window.

Server Deadlock
Server deadlocked when someone picked up an item.

Fixed code that permitted a deadlock condition when picking up an item.

Buildings Strobe in Sync
All city strobes appear to be on the same timer.

Strobes at each site are now synchronous at that site but strobes are not synchronous between sites. This is also true of the rotation angle of beacons.

City Code
Now that the old style cities and buildings are gone from the universe, their code and resources can be removed.

This was a glorious task, dramatized in my mind by screams and the sounds of chainsaws emanating from my office for days, as I laughed maniacally, chopping at the giant tumorous growth of old city code.

Code grows continuously. It is a rare and joyous moment when you get to remove some. In this case, the raw line count went down by about 120,000 lines, a little over 9%, and the size of the overall program distribution dropped by 20MB. The abandoned code would print out to fill more than five 500 page books. Cha CHING!

Buttons and windows for interacting with old style cities were removed. References to old style cities in tooltips and other text were removed wherever I could find them.

Buttons to request spacecraft and building designs for sale were removed from the window for asking for things for sale. They only existed to support dialog with an old style design studio.

Large textures used exclusively by old style buildings were removed.

I spent about a week making a design and the crew seem completely unwilling to move from their berths. It's not a room void issue as far as I can tell as I can walk up to them just fine. I've tried telling them to move from point to point in the same room as well as outside the room. What am I doing wrong? Do I need more walk paths than just those associated with the doors?

Edit: After further inspection, I can get a crewman in the designer to follow me to a station and man it. I was having an issue with getting the crew to do anything in the arena. This is probably an issue of me not understanding some nuance of the arena such as making sure I'm in the chain of command.

They don't appear in the construction list anymore. :(

Old City Nerf
The old cities have reached the end of their life. They need to be removed.

Old cities were removed from the universe. This is what happened to them.

• Roads and landscapers were transferred to new style roads and landscapers, which are independent of cities. These were well preserved because there was an almost 1:1 correspondence between old and new. Pressurized roads became concrete roads, losing their enclosures.
  
• A new capitol building was placed at or near the location of the old city's capitol building, or its town square if it had no capitol building.
  
• If the new capitol building could not be placed, a beacon was placed there instead, and the city was lost completely, except for its roads.
  
• City money and report history were stored at the new capitol building. You may still see the old reports for awhile.
  
• Hangars were built to replace existing hangars that contained spacecraft. Ships in them were moved to the new hangars.
  
• A police station was placed at or near one existing police station, if any.
  
• A bank was placed at or near one existing bank, if any and if a police was built.
  
• An airport was placed at or near one existing airport, if any.
  
• City inventory was distributed among the resulting buildings.
  
• Empire, galaxy, and sector capitol status was transferred to the new capitol building where appropriate.
  

TEU Shipments
Broker shipments were intended to be something players could carry. This was never completed.

Players can now pick up and deliver TEU shipments.

• To request TEU shipments, a button was added to the dialog for requesting things for sale.
  
• To unload TEU shipments, a button was added to the dialog for offering things for sale.
  

Recall Inside Building
Must fix spawn recall to building to find a place inside the building. Otherwise, recalling to a harsh environment is deadly.

When recalling to a building, a location inside the building is queried first, before finding a location outside.

I would not recommend declaring your home at a building with inaccessible interior rooms.

Designer Vacant
Occupied designer instance says Vacant. Can't join existing?

Designer building window now shows occupied status correctly.

Part Seal Bug
Part seal bug. Select part. Enter face mode. Select sealed part for access to it.

Face mode now reverts to part mode when a sealed part is selected in the parts list, that was not sealed by the current designer/architect.

PVE Dynamite
Dynamite thrown by me in pve zone damaged a players ship.

Fixed a bug that allowed shrapnel damage to ignore the pve zone protection.

Warp Engage Atmo Dive
There seems to be an atmo dive bug due to AI entering warp while still aimed near the edge of a planet/star.

I changed the AI pilot to delay engaging the FTL drive until orbital altitude above the planet is well above the altitude that stations orbit. I also increased the on-course precision required before engaging the FTL drive.

Buildings on Radar
Would be nice if military buildings showed up on helmet radar

All buildings now show up on helmet radar as a box. Military buildings are distinguished with an X across the box. Box size is an approximation of the buildings at a site, up to a maximum box size.

Server Deadlock
Servers have been plagued by lockups recently.

The server reconfig was very helpful, absolutely necessary to find this bug. Now that thread call stacks can be traced again, it was back to the usual, unraveling the ball of string to find the knot. In this case it was a spacecraft fetching a vehicle to a parking spot, while a battle raged elsewhere among the threads.

This bug was the primary reason for the restart today. A server was locked this morning and the stack trace led back to this deadlock. The fix only affects server code.

Client updates aren't finished building yet; I'll post them as they finish.

It is currently possible to spam capitals on every planet you encounter to increase your empire's ranking. Empire ranking should probably be based off of a score that is calculated from a combination of officered ships, population, and number of worlds colonized, with a minimum population of maybe 100 required for a planet to count towards an empire's score.

Some planets have features such as volcanoes and geothermal vents. It'd be interesting if these were useful in some way, and a source of power would be one. This would be especially useful for gas giant colonies.

Private avatars should be able to purchase fleet spacecraft, turning them into company ships.
