It's been about four months since I last wrote about Blockade Runner, the space craft building game inspired by Infiniminer and Minecraft, and a few days ago they put up footage of multiplayer being tested. The grand design of Blockade Runner is about far more than just building space ships, ZanMgt plans to eventually have a procedurally generated galaxy that will host some mighty fine multiplayer adventures, but the game is currently at a point where everything is focused on crafting space ships. Last time I wrote about the game they had just put symmetry into the game and a couple of other user-friendly features, check that out here, and it has gone quite some ways since then. The most recent updates have discussed character models and faces, plus their new swiss army knife tool that will help players with almost everything. They also seem to highlight different player designs every week, like this one.

 

Just like Minecraft players have been quite creative with ship designs. There are giant battleships, huge carriers, and even a Star Wars Nebulon B Frigate.
