Why not if you want a separate map, then make your own server?

LEGO Universe devs had some clips of "Name of the Game" by The Crystal Method used as temporary music. It was never used in any publicly tested areas of the game, but it was found in a beta version's audio assets (along with a song ripped from the Little Big Planet OST). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A12-KN5UijA Years later, Funcom received a bunch of LU assets to aid in the development of LEGO Minifigures Online, and, well... This happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJBhExJmEbY

Thanks Jamesster for these pictures! When I look at this model, it kinda confirms my thoughts about the Hornet. It can't be build IRL, well it might be, but it will be very unstable due to a single link on the steering parts. I will update the model to a second version, to make it in-game accurate in the next few days. Meanwhile, enjoy this one. Never found a kit for it. I belive it's 95% game accurate. I know that the middle 5m panels should have been the 10m ones, but it glitches in LDD. It does in Drome Racers too, if you take a good look. The 10m panels will probably flex enough IRL to make it work, though.

Speaking of the Hornet, here it is:

Hey guys, new here! Recently I discovered an old box full of old games I used to play. I spotted a lot of Lego games too, including Drome Racers, which I have played a LOT. I decided to reinstall it too see if I was still able to play it. After a while I wondered if I could build the models (I had the Raptor kit when I was younger), so I started searching for building instructions and ended up here. After seeing a lot of models already done, I decided to help you It's far from done though, the rear of the vehicle is not the way it is in the game, but it is buildable this way. Might not be very stable, haha. So, here's a list with features that need to be done: - Lights, they are not possible with the in-game design - Rubber tubes - Steering - Framework in the back Some more pictures: Well, see the rest of it for yourself, here's the .lxf file! hornet.lxf Greetings from the Netherlands, - MvdL95

We are evaluating possible game engines, there is a realistic voxel landscape with Unity or a 'blocky' look similar to Minecraft. I like the lookof the realistic landscape, but the classic blocky look is easy to visualize and fits well with a LEGO look product.

OK a bit more on the design ideas: It is still being fleshed out, but it answers some questions that have been raised. STORYLINE: The year is 3099 and the far reaches of the universe are being colonized with the search for valuable resources. Sending men to these remote and far away lands is dangerous, so instead we teleport a remote controlled android. For some strange reason these look like a Lego MiniFigure, but it’s not exactly the same, as there are still copyright laws even in the 31st century! Your Minifig wants to explore and discover resources, such as minerals, gems and power crystals. These are usually hidden beneath the surface, and unless you can discover caverns and tunnels, your minifig will need to dig deep underground to get these. When you find a good seam, you can choose to chip away at it with your pick axe, or you could teleport back some of your wealth and rent some serious, upgraded excavation equipment. Crushers, or laser drills can get the work done in short time, but for big equipment you need big power supplies and support buildings. Its up to you, choose to build a large mining complex or keep it simple. Then there are the ‘local’ inhabitants to deal with. The more disturbance you make, the more local wildlife you will disturb. Some of the locals are easy to catch, and we call these ‘food’ but many can bite back, and they will call YOU food. You will need to build defenses to protect you and your base. In some cases, if they dislike water, this might be a simple ditch, but in the case of a Rock Monster, I would recommend a river of flowing lava, and make it wide as these monsters can jump! The universe is a pretty big place, so big in-fact that there is a type of world to suit everyone. Planetoids are in zones, which are rated 1 (peaceful) to 5 (wild), so you can choose your neighbors and style of world for the style of game that you want to play. Some people may want to build a magnificent city, design buildings, and create landscaped gardens, and these can be on worlds where you can build, without interruption from other minifigs. Or you can goto a high risk and reward, ‘5 zone’, where you will have to spend as much on defense equipment as you do on mining. You will want to craft or buy, defense towers, weapons and armor. If you want combat and action in these zones you can also choose to be a mercenary, flying from planetoid to planetoid taking what you can steal from the inhabitants.

Though LRR is classed as an RTS, you do realize that it's not a military/war RTS, right? Lego are adamant that things are family friendly, hense no guns, death etc, however in focus groups, kids immediately wanted to 'kill' the monsters, it is a balancing act between the brand image and what the customer wants. We are hoping to have more of an open sandbox where the player decides what style of game they want - i will post the zone rating details, players choose the peaceful or wild (agressive) planetoids they want to play in and this reflects the combat and neighbours - basically you can play without combat or more aggresively like a traditional RTS.

I don't know whether to post here or make it a new topic, but we are thinking of being more creative and allowing you to build your own types of vehicles from a collection of ready made parts. So the basic list goes something like this.. Vehicles: You create the parts to make the vehicles that you can afford, or that you need, to suit your world. CHASSIS Small - Stand on Small 4 wheel , light, medium or heavy weight. Medium 6 wheel, light, medium or heavy weight. Static base . 1 to 8 blocks. Power unit: Push Steam Oil Electric Fusion Power Crystals Traction: light wheels, Strong wheels All terrain wheels Ski Tracks Flying Hover Helicopter blades Jet Anti gravity Space Propulsion Armour: Wood Hard wood Copper Bronze Iron Steel Carbon Steel Alloys Work bits: Drill Medium Drill Large Drill WTF Drill Lasers 1-5 Wrecking ball Lump hammer 1-5 You create the Vehicle combination, add the power supply, add in the work bits, and get constructing. Modding options will allow for player designed, vehicles, in various models and graphical styles to be created and available as downloads. Buildings. Buildings and vehicles can be created from any block of any material, and saved as a ‘plan’. If you want to recreate a building you choose a spot and place the ‘plan’ in the build list. Your engineer minifigs will then try and build it from materials that you have in storage. You can purchase and sell designs, to other players. There will be an online site for choosing, rating and voting on the best plans, functionality, good design, and cool new looks. What do you think? The code will allow for MODS, so original Lego rock raiders models can go in from fans designs (we will not be able to do this as a pre-defined set) but create your vehicles and design a mesh 'look' for it I think would be cool - your input please!
