I’m Awake

2024 was easily the worst year of my life and a bit of that misery followed me into 2025. Fortunately, it's starting to taper off now. What this means for PR is that I'll be actively working on the site again. Posts will be a regular thing again, but I should point...

Begin (2024)

2023 ended weirdly abruptly for me, but I got the shot in the arm I needed in order to hit the ground running in 2024. This year's going to be absolutely crazy, but for me personally, I feel my worst years are finally behind me. I'm ready to stop drowning in a sea of...

Quick Update

This is a general update and not project specific. To start, I've been pretty sick the last couple of weeks. That nuked almost every end-of-the-year plan and goal I had for 2023, including the Yamato project. Even as I write this, I'm only just 'recovering.' There's...

Yamato Progress

Oh my goodness ... well, things may have slowed down exponentially compared to the first 24 hours of working on this thing, but that doesn't mean there hasn't been major progress. Check this out. The exterior is nearly finished (minus coloring) The catapults work...

No Cosmo Messer ‘E’ Drones

by | Feb 24, 2022 | Journal, Space Engineers

I don’t quite get the drone scripts the XB-2 uses yet, but based on my own testing I’ve got serious doubts that I’ll be able to convert the E model of the Cosmo Messer into one. My best bet with this sort of thing is having a connector on the back in the same style as the XB-2. Even that won’t fix all the problems, though.

It’s the length, among other things. The Cosmo Messer has to land in a particular orientation to have them in good numbers on a ship, which is more code and more problems. Even with a connector on the back they would have to orient themselves to be right side up to be stored internally, something the XB-2s don’t have to do.

I’ll keep poking around to see if there’s a way to do it long term, but the E models have come too far for any major overhauls at this point.

At least they look majestic parked on the approximately 60% complete Admiral Hipper.
