Hi Medlock. Not sure if you'll read this. I'm curious about some of the specific lore regarding the Democratic Republic of Orion. I know you've put a reasonable amount of thought into them. A few questions, and if you don't have answers that's all good.

What is the DRO like and how do they run their government? Are they a stable democracy, or more of a dictatorial system in the style of the PRC? Good, evil, or something more nuanced?

Who are the DRO's enemies? I would assume they have them, seeing as they need all these ships.

What is the DRO's relative power in the galaxy compared to other states and threats?

Lt.starbound i see you like using a white yellow and grey color theme
99overlords 26 Feb, 2021 @ 10:40pm 
i think it would be good to get O2 with vents in an atmosphere to save time to get back to fighting
99overlords 26 Feb, 2021 @ 10:37pm 
i am new to this game so feel free to tell me if my ideas wont work
TORGMASTER 29 Oct, 2020 @ 3:26am

I've just finished the Cinematic, if you want to see it before Keen releases it just DM me for the link
k_medlock 9 Apr, 2019 @ 7:15am 
Sure go ahead just make sure to give credit where credit is due ;)
SparkT7 9 Apr, 2019 @ 6:08am 
Hey, I wanted to ask if I could use some of your ACI and AOE ships in a Cinematic im currently working on.
Rhea.licious 3 Apr, 2019 @ 4:20pm 
Yeah, sorry @bluestriker, I was on vacation and was unable to do maintenance to keep it running, but it is back online now.
k_medlock 26 Mar, 2019 @ 7:02am 
@bluestriker For server problems please address Lt.Starbound, he is running the server. :)
Blue 26 Mar, 2019 @ 6:47am 
@Doctor Budgie theres now a button in the blueprint menu
Blue 26 Mar, 2019 @ 6:44am 
@k_medlock are there any server problems atm?
k_medlock 21 Mar, 2019 @ 3:09pm 
@bluestriker Very kind of you, but I have to decline your offer to join. Hope you understand.
Blue 21 Mar, 2019 @ 1:56pm 
@k_medlock look there⬇⬇⬇

hey k_medlock I'm participating with my faction TCI (basically a small sister faction of your ACI)
here's the link to the TCI discord server https://discord.gg/qUgqk7n
Celestite 26 Dec, 2018 @ 6:23pm 
medlock i have a proposition to you
Rhea.licious 9 Dec, 2018 @ 3:04pm 
@Game Horizons I am a fan of your spacecraft performance review videos, and I was wondering if test my new carrier and tell me how it did. If you plan on making a video about it that would be great, but if you don't want to I understand, I imagine it takes a lot of time and effort to make something like that, as well as the time it takes just to test it in the first place.

Question to anyone here who is willing and capable of answering it:

A friend recently pointed out that my Point-Type station is not airtight. I fixed the issue now, but the new UI is confusing me. I have no ability to update the bluepring with an object from the clipboard. I am pretty sure I tried both the file on my PC and the Steam file (the published BP). Anyone know how I can update a blueprint with my clipboard contents in the new UI?
k_medlock 12 Sep, 2018 @ 9:08am 
@Ranger That seems odd i will look into it!
Priam 12 Sep, 2018 @ 3:43am 
@k_medlock Hello! Just joined didnt have a commenting option for some reason on the blueprint but im loving the Tempest but for the life of me i cant get it to feed ammo when i connect supply ships to it. it did uranium and ice just fine so im beyond confused why its not feeding any ammo anywhere
Rhea.licious 22 Aug, 2018 @ 11:26pm 
That would be cool @k_medlock.
k_medlock 19 Aug, 2018 @ 7:48am 
@SparkT7 No ACI Discord server at this time.
SparkT7 19 Aug, 2018 @ 6:06am 
Is there a Discord Server for ACI?
k_medlock 17 Aug, 2018 @ 7:47am 
@[FOET]♥Mama Mercy♥ Well ultimately practise makes perfect. But one advice i have from you is to look at the most popular recent builds on the workshop and have a look at how the creators are building their creations. Try and imitate the build style at first and then add your own flair to it.
Automaton Commissar 17 Aug, 2018 @ 5:19am 
im not sure if im asking in the right comment place but any tip for makeing ships look more pretty
k_medlock 19 Jul, 2018 @ 12:36am 
No this group is just a place for creative minds and people that like building ships in Space Engineers. People share ideas and give constructive criticism etc.
toilet water 18 Jul, 2018 @ 1:17pm 
Hm. So this is ACI? I wondered if you guys were a group or not with your ships. But I have a general question, do you perform raids or any kind of training exercises??
CaitSith 16 Mar, 2018 @ 10:54pm 
btw our film is about a civil war inside the solar system (something similar to The Expanse or Call of Duty Infinity Warfare) between Earth-Moon and Mars. I would love to use the ACI ships in the Martian fleet, but I might not use your background settings (though I would use your ship class names). I don't know if it's possible :P
CaitSith 16 Mar, 2018 @ 10:50pm 
Hey there, I'm a Space Engineers player. I'm making a short film using the game with some friends, and I hope I might use your "Ares Combat Industries" ships in our film. Can I get your permission to use those ships in the film? We will put your name(s) in the acknowledgment as the creator of these ships. I look forward to your response. Thanks a lot!

Hello Celestite!
Celestite 5 Mar, 2018 @ 11:59am 
hey medlock
k_medlock 7 Feb, 2018 @ 9:53am 
@[RG]Chase Yes i know. Quite a bummer but I am working on restoring the colors on the more recent ships. So from the warden up to the sentinel I'll redo the coloring, update the thumbnail and screenshots probably.
Chase 7 Feb, 2018 @ 9:49am 
You know whats unfortunate about the new graphic changes? All the ACI ships have lost their colouring.
k_medlock 20 Jan, 2018 @ 11:53am 
@[RG]Chase☭ Sure you can post screenshots of the station in one of the discussion threads. There you and others can talk about it for example. Also i am a bit curious to see what you have build. ;)
Chase 12 Dec, 2017 @ 2:22pm 
So we have a ship discussion area for AOE and ACI but what about a station idea/discussion area for AOE. I just finished a station design for AOE and am in the middle of another and I want to make them known or show them here. The complete station is not on workshop yet as I only finished today
Rhea.licious 1 Dec, 2017 @ 10:11pm 
Wait, Skeeter, is it possible to create a shaded sphere? I want to make my profile pic the SBF insignia.
k_medlock 29 Nov, 2017 @ 1:22pm 
@Zankar Haha oh my how did i not see this for so long.

Dr. Skeeter 31 Aug, 2017 @ 4:47am 
@JaumePlaayer http://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1117047406 take a look at the last picture. I didn't even try, 10 minutes. If you don't think its good looking, then I don't know what do you need. #powerpointwins :P
Nosta99 30 Aug, 2017 @ 10:01am 
i aggree with skeeter. i made mine with microsoft word xD. i had a blue logo first and shaped this one from it. but it took me a while
Conductor Génerico 28 Aug, 2017 @ 9:00am 
@Dr. Dark , i know but i use it and photoshop , but i try to do same to k_medlock , but i can't.
Dr. Skeeter 28 Aug, 2017 @ 5:18am 
@Jaume Microsoft powerpoint is an excellent application for this, it really is amazing. Look at my logo. Think for a bit, draw, and collect ideas.
Conductor Génerico 27 Aug, 2017 @ 5:01pm 
@k_medlock [Reply] rlly , i like it.. i don't know how to do a similiar logo , but i know it's dificult to do it.. but i love it. U do it to me permission to use it for mi logo of my steam , and all sides.
k_medlock 27 Aug, 2017 @ 1:14am 
@JaumePlaayer I can not forbid you to use my logo, but i would rather like it if you did not. I mean you could make a logo similar to it or change it in some way. Really do hope that you understand.
Conductor Génerico 25 Aug, 2017 @ 10:57am
