For your "switch": Use a BUTTON connected to a FLIP which is then connected to a NOT. The FLIP then activates one state and the NOT the other. For your door "hinges": Use 2 BUTTONS. One directly adjacent to a counterclockwise rail and the other directly adjacent to a clockwise rail. Connect...

It was deleted as a result of the post it was responding to being deleted. I had nothing to do with it. It was intentionally condescending. There once was a time when childish tantrums were addressed as such. I've no need of a thin veil. A turd is a turd and I label it as such. I do not...

*chuckles* Somehow I doubt that large multi-server factions need game mechanics modified in their favor in order to defend themselves =) Actual trolls, as rare as they might be within this game at least, will never go away. Yet their scarcity here, and the ease of which they are defended...

This is what you got from, "F*ck your sci fi?" (a) No one is arguing that Starmade power generation should be a carbon copy of the systems depicted in other venues. Taking 1000's of examples of those who came before you into consideration is not normally frowned upon. (b) If this is his...

By definition, would not a ship unable to defend itself be a relatively poor source of resources?

Does any of this really matter? Is PvP in general, and newbie ganking specifically, so prevalent as to merit asking these questions in the first place? I've played on multiple servers, through multiple server wipes, and without exception, had an entire base and multiple ships built before ever...

I believe you are right, as I've never been able to successfully use anything but a button or activator to control rail direction either.

Although I agree with you 100% that this is an excellent way to perform mining operations, I have to admit that in practice, it still fails rather dismally. The issue is that the mining drones require constant intervention in order to maintain their operations which invariably leads to...

You are equating non consensual pvp with "screwing another player so bad they have to leave the game." They are not synonymous.

I'll provide a short and concise answer: Fleet Mining: A method of mining far less efficient and far more frustrating in it's current format than simply designing a well thought out dedicated mining cruiser. Sigh.

PvP is consensual on non-PvP servers. I might offer a suggestion that our established players not harass new players, or those who have little to offer in terms of loot, but this is my personal opinion....not canon. Rest assured that if I'm piloting my cruiser, and see you flying by loaded with...

This is the callsign of an individual who plays on a PvP server. "Griefer" is simply a term used to label anyone who engages in pvp with anyone else who is not prepared for pvp, and applied only by the latter. If this practice upsets you, perhaps you'd be happier on a server that restricts...

How else will they become aware of it if someone doesn't point it out!? =)

There is a reason U.S. naval and airforce stealth ships and aircraft are radically different than their non stealth counterparts. Stealth, much like other complicated systems, directly impacts the design of the vehicle it is embedded in. Ever seen a U.S. navy railgun installed on a smaller...

Here ya go, no exposed systems, full complement of warhead torpedoes (auto consecutive launch or manual), full cloak, full jam, can/can/ovd, custom chain drive, scanner, jump inhibitor, and even a custom loading dock that will autoload 30 torps from an independent entity that was build for just...

It will likely be much harder to refit into my class of ships, as their smaller total dimensions and efficient use of available space leaves little to no room for design changes. Many of them have such intricate and redundant logic systems, that even I forget what does what without significant...

There's a reason I avoid titan class ships...... =)))) Personally, my weakness is sub-100k mass cruisers loaded to the gills with logic. 16 stage twin gatling shotguns anyone?

Aye, I hear you. It is not the fact that I will have to retrofit and/or completely rebuild my current lineup, nor it is that I will have to learn new systems and change my build style.... ....it is, "what the heck do I do, besides logic circuit design, until they have decided on a course and...

Perhaps the fact that it will all become obsolete all at once is the determining factor behind his frustration....

I don't believe the point he was making was that he is no longer able to utilize his current lineup, but that the proposed changes are so vast in nature, and so unpredictable in the timing of their implementation, that any current or near future designs will likely be completely fruitless...
