Ah, bummer. Even if it hadn't, it likely would have been patched regardless. So what about a Hacking and Transport Disperser module/computer? If a ship has a Hacking Comp and enough modules they can break through the faction restriction and beam aboard, but if the defending ship has enough...

Has anyone tried putting the transporter on a separate docked entity? Or would that still drop the shields when going to another undocked entity?

I'm starting the turrets on my ship and was wondering if the y-axis was really necessary for a missile-beam turret? Can the AI-controlled missiles acquire locks without being pointed at the enemy (as in they just auto-acquire regardless of orientation)?

You'll need ME on the ship and base

I, personally, made a graph sketch of what I want and then go from there. You can design half the ship, copy-paste-flip it and have the other half (if you're going for exact symmetry). Have an idea for length width, but keep height in mind if you want to include interior docking and hangars...

I can attest to this. My ship's only going to be about 500m long and I'm on day 5 and have less than a quarter finished. So much time goes into logic, symmetric design, internal/external corridors and access. Unless you build a massive ship using axis-mirrors and have one hallway going in and...

I've had a few ideas about using rails to better "launch" things, but the amount of space needed vs how practical it would be is pretty much not worth the developing time. Thank you everyone for the support and feedback on this. With any luck a council member can see this and push it through...

Thank you very much! I'll get started. also, if I'm successful, I'll probably post the design and instructions for if anyone wants a Star-trek type weapon. I'm probably going to go with beams on at least a couple

So I've got the idea to make a low-profile ball turret, but before I start I want to make sure my effort won't be wasted. The turret would rest in a crater and be attached to a logic-rotator. When activated the turret will either rotate around and be on the outside of the ship, ready for use...

No sir, using current modules, so current mechanics should be in effect. I scrapped the entire ship and have started over altogether. If the problem arises I'll find another way to combat it

Look at the orientation of your weapons computer. From what I've noticed, that's what determines the direction that the weapons fire. The "screen" should be facing rear of where you want your weapons to be pointing

For me, and maybe other players, multiple 'pults in a single sector could be set up to allow a player faction to move their fleet somewhere and attack another faction (provided they make multiple catapults) each equipped to handle their respective ships. Also, for those that don't mind a trip...

As much as I liked BSG's Dradis, I still found it kinda confusing. What I would like , though, are new 3 blocks. Holo-computer, holo-projector, and holo-display. Computer being at the very center (Which is also where your ship would be in \/ ), with emitters surrounding it (the more emitters...

I haven't found too much mention of how AI drones are going to be reworked, but I did have an idea. A drone is, at its base, no different from any modern aircraft/drone. It requires fuel. If a new Bobby AI setting is added for Drone, it could have a requirement - No Power Generation blocks...

Didn't go anywhere near a star, which is why I'm still incredibly perplexed. As for shielding on the turret, each turret had at least 75k shields each, iirc ( I scrapped the entire ship to reallocate blocks ) I'll run more trials and see if the problem repeats. Thanks for the feedback. I'll...

That would be awesome. No longer have to find and activate a gravity module (assuming there's no logic blocks that already activate it for you) since you'd already be under the ship's gravity effects

Hey sorry, gonna pop in here. I saw the Activation Gate mentioned and did remember reading some stuff, but one thing wasn't asked about (that I noticed, anyway), but will there be a way for these activation gates to be used on stations to create gravity'd pads for fighters? i.e. a fighter...

So I built myself up a nice small-size cruiser complete with turrets and all the goodies for taking hits at pirate stations. I knocked out 3 stations and my shields didn't go below 90%. Awesome. I got back to homebase to do some upgrades and tweak some internals and was surprised to see my...

I'd thought about it before I came up with the "set it anywhere you want" option. How about a compromise... A turret with the catapult. Difference being, when you set the coordinates after docking, it rotates you around (slowly) to face the direction.

This idea is as an alternative to warp gates, which currently require you set up connections at both ends and are limited to 128 sector distances. The Catapult is a one-way trip and can exceed that distance (however at great cost to building requirements). Warpgates are two-way and...
