This mod was thought up when development of DVAMM was just starting to get going, after six months and many a hiatus, its done. I proudly present Starship Utilities. This mod adds a few useful parts for large ships and carriers.
Additions:
Docking Connector

Allows ships to connect to one another and smaller ships to FTL.

Bay Door

Open and close to protect docked craft or allow them through.

Propulsion Pipe

Allows crew to move four times as fast but only in one direction. Requires a propulsion pipe junction to enter or exit

Propulsion Pipe Junction

Acts as entrances and exits for propulsion pipe

A very special thank you to @Marvin_Megavolt, your excellent sense of timing and way with words will not be forgotten. May we have many another long conversation.

what version is it for?

DeathWolf
pairs well with kroom's forge! awesome!

      Enderjed 0.15.5c

          DeathWolf changed the title to Starship Utilities 1.0 (0.15.5).

            Nice. But the bay door part's gonna create a lot of lag. It's too bad Walt still hasn't added those customizable colliders I asked yet.

            i have an issue with the Docking Connector and a question

            Docking Connector Issue: you cant flip it, and it only connects to the ship on 1 side (not talking about other Docking Connectors)
            so its very limited to how you can build/place it

            Question: do you have anything planned for Resource Sharing?
            Such as crew carrying Batteries or Ammo or Missiles from one ship to another, maybe across a connected Docking Connector? or maybe just some short ranged teleporters,

            (For those who will ask, Yes i DO know about Kroom's Forge, infact, i have it installed.
            Regarding my question, im asking whether or not he has anything planned for the mod itself in that regard)

              WaffleGames Thank you for reminding me about the docking connectors not mirroring, I had forgotten about that. I will add that in the next update. as far as resource sharing I currently don't have plans. crew is not possible to transfer between ships. although I suppose I could make it like the dock reload station from abh (I've never use krooms forge) i currently don't have intention to.

                Lafiel Is the toggling of colliers that's causes lag?

                  Looks gud ima try this out now

                    DeathWolf I think circle might be more lagging than rectangle but mostly because of how many you would need to create a door.

                        Lafiel hmm that means the docking connector will probably also cause lag, seeing as they work on the same principle.

                            DeathWolf Yes but not so much since you don't need a lot.

                                DeathWolf Your welcome
                                Also, about the single build connection point

                                (its the side with the Corridor attached to it)
                                That's currently the only side that connects to the ship your building it on
                                (of course you already know that)
                                why is it only that specific side? or is there no reason?

                                    WaffleGames That's interesting. the docking connector is rotatable so I'm not sure why that is happening. I'll have to look into it.

                                        DeathWolf yep
                                        it ONLY connects to that side, you cant connect it on the side that's just structure

                                            WaffleGames ah! i don't a actually remember why i made it that way. it probably had something to do with the shape of the connector, half of that side is empty space, well the area of the structure square closest to the corridor. the proof of concept did allow to connect of that side however it was 2x2. I will see if I cant change that as well.

                                                a month later

                                                i also found a bug where it doesn't mirror, an attempt to test out the mod revealed that on attempt to mirror the craft it doesn't work because it will always be on the unusable side on the left side reflection

                                                  a month later

                                                  celi that is causing because I didn't add the code necessary for mirroring. I will be fixing that.

                                                      Starship Utilities 1.0.2

                                                      Additions:
                                                      Left Docking Connector

                                                      Changes:
                                                      Docking Connectors can now be attached by the structure not just the bottom.
                                                      Docking Connectors can now be mirrored.
