Cool idea, but it doesn't work. The engines don't have enough thrust to lift themselves.
Ibuprofen Diet 3 Feb, 2022 @ 6:05pm 
could you please make a version for LARGE ships?
ThomyT 8 Jan, 2022 @ 1:48pm 
I love the mod, i can finally build the ships out of matrix!
Signur 15 Apr, 2021 @ 3:52am 
@m3ss plz do. it's a magnificent ship.
BlindSniper 26 Mar, 2021 @ 8:11am 
Thank you! Now nothing can stop me from finally building the Nebuchadnezzar!

I love these little engines! I wish I could have them for large grids, though. Being restricted to small grids is limiting. Great work, though!

do they just act like re skinned thrusters or do they actually keep you off the ground like idk invisible wheels or something?

@EctoSage Hey there boss, I sent you a friend request....I do not care if you accept it or want to respond here. I am looking at editing this mod for a server group I am part of, which means of course republishing it with the edits. Of course all Credit would be to you...The Original Creator.

I loved this mod back in the day, made some great hover tanks, haven't tried it in the new frost bite update but would love to know if it still works as I'd love to make hover tanks again with the new AWG tank weapons.

Kind of looks like something that would go onto a matrix ship.

Rysten 14 Sep, 2019 @ 3:28pm 
I really want to replace Takeshi's models with these....
Reigdaer 4 Sep, 2019 @ 6:11am 
i really miss using this mod :steamsad:
Planewalker 24 Jul, 2019 @ 4:36am 
@Aegis How have you made them work?
FMHikari 8 May, 2019 @ 7:41am 
It ain't hard to make it work, tried it myself and found that it is really nice, though the angles are misleading sometimes.
seronis 12 Mar, 2019 @ 9:11am 
I dont have the skill to do it myself yet, but would you be willing to allow someone to post an updated functional copy of this?
Galactic.Devastator 10 Feb, 2019 @ 1:06pm 
Why are they only for small ships? :(
Twilight_Sparkle 17 Dec, 2018 @ 2:24pm 
sage you should make a collection for all the mods you made
CatCraftYT 21 Sep, 2018 @ 2:46am 
Please update :)
edk 8 Sep, 2018 @ 1:24pm 
Just what I needed, look great, but they dont work.:steamfacepalm:
Grimm Spector 19 Jul, 2018 @ 9:29pm 
These were so pretty, it's a pity you don't have it updated and working
TheHappySerpent 18 Jul, 2018 @ 4:30pm 
crashes my game
ConManCpens 9 Jul, 2018 @ 7:56am 
this wasn't what i was expecting, i thought it would hover a meter or two above the ground.
Spellwizard 3 Jul, 2018 @ 2:57pm 
Is it possible to limit the height? trying to use them to automate transport akin to trucking resources around
Gryphorim 6 May, 2018 @ 6:58pm 
EctoSage, A few suggestions:
1- In your showcase video you stated an interest in making blocks able to tuck right up under the disk, next to the suspension part. Maybe by having the hover drive built as two blocks, like rotors do. The suspension would be hand placed, and the disk auto-populates from there, as per rotor.
2- You also expressed an interest in lighning effects around the disk. Perhaps talk to DarkStar about how they achieved a similar effect on their shield generator modded part.

Less of a suggestion, more just spitballing ideas here, but what about setting up a large invisible wheel collider and soft suspension, to simulate a "ground effect" when near terrain. Also possibly setting up thrusters so each disk has some forward and backward thrust, allowing each disk to have some thrust vector control.

Cobalt and gold?
The Mighty Goldfish 17 Mar, 2018 @ 2:11pm 
They don't appear to work at all, and produce no thrust (even whilst set to maximum override) whilst draining power.
Shiftend 12 Jan, 2018 @ 2:43pm 
Looks amazing!
Kahrstrom 17 Dec, 2017 @ 9:21am 
ok, good to know, I like the look of them btw!
StarDruid 16 Dec, 2017 @ 7:34pm 
They basically have more breaking thrust then normal engines and less actual thrust. So they can hover well but have trouble with going up fast on their own. On the plus side unlike the new hoverengine mod they don't have the small height restrict the hoverengine mod does.
Kahrstrom 13 Dec, 2017 @ 6:55am 
Just like normal thrusters... tell me if I'm doing something wrong, but otherwise this mod is pretty pointless and the hover engine part is just false advertisement.
Jones Royal 9 Dec, 2017 @ 3:42pm 
Hey eco can you make some veachles with this.And if you dont say any cuswords i might subscribe to you
UraNuS 5 Dec, 2017 @ 12:32am

Hummy 26 Nov, 2017 @ 9:25am 
Is there a large ship variant anywhere?
spEeͥD`eͣxͫ 1 Nov, 2017 @ 1:09pm 
am i being retarded.... or are they just working like regular thrusters? just stronger?
Peni4 8 Oct, 2017 @ 10:22pm 
Hello! I use this mod and am very pleased with it. Will there be a larger version of the engines?
jupiterbjy 6 Sep, 2017 @ 4:35am 
This reminds me of Icarus [vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net] from Matrix, but without ions, can you add that someday?
Liath Shadow 26 Aug, 2017 @ 7:17pm 
there are arrows on the engines, watch the arrows.
Anubis 22 Aug, 2017 @ 8:08pm 
@Monsian Frapanophile found myself wondering the same.
Pneuma 9 Jul, 2017 @ 9:56am

Milenier #fixtf2 27 Jun, 2017 @ 7:46am

Hey, Sage, I'm working on my Youtube Channel, any tips. Also, I have some good Mining Designs for your Survival. All you Would need is Mexpex.
