      JVM Crash Error (Just bought the game)

      Couldn't tell you what GPU chip-set it uses. It's a Dell Inspiron 15. Only couple of months old. Can't get a straight answer from my brother as to the specs of the laptop. My daughter's PC is running one the ASUS Z77 (Ivy Bridge) motherboards. Again, not at home, so I can't tell you beyond...

      JVM Crash Error (Just bought the game)

      In my daughter's case, I built her PC. The direct install drivers work fine. I know there are specialized chip-sets out there. (Dell is notorious for this.) Even still, it's better to go to Intel's website first, and if the auto-detect tool can't figure it out, go to the manufacturer's site...

      JVM Crash Error (Just bought the game)

      Tator, that's a pretty bad video and half the steps he tells you has nothing to do about fixing the JVM crash. The whole reason for downloading the game directly from Schine and installing it in a folder closer to C:\ is to reduce the number of folders you have to type/click to reach the game...

      Damage Beams and ships inside ships

      Thank you to everyone who replied. Yeah, I'm going to report this. I still think it's beam weapons based on the position and location of the docked ship, and the position, location, and type of damage to the shuttle. Right now, having bigger fish to fry with daughter's PC not launching the game.

      Questions about computer facing and fire direction

      I'm not sure why they chose the computer orientation versus the module orientation, but it does lead to some really nice effects. You can build a cannon or missile frigate like the old wind powered schooners and galleons, which totally changes the mechanics and tactics from head on targeting to...

      Damage Beams and ships inside ships

      Not sure if this is a bug, overlooked game mechanic, or just the game working as normal. If it's a bug, I'll post it in the bug forum, but don't want to bother them unless it is... Playing on a private server using version 0.189996. Have a small shuttle docked inside my big miner. Everywhere...

      What are the generally accepted rules for building on a community server?

      Thanks for replying everyone. So, that 600 meter rule, is that a turret or ships in general. (I'm thinking of building a capitol size battleship with spacecraft hanger/runways.) Also, please forgive my ignorance. What are the definition of death cubes and system cubes? And would a box with an...

      What are the generally accepted rules for building on a community server?

      I have some questions about building on public servers. My family recently started playing this game, and we're currently playing on a private server my brother is hosting. At some point, we may take our brood out on to a public server, and I'm wanting to know what is acceptable, so members of...
