      How to free your sector from faction ships ramming all your stuff?

      Have you tried the last command on this list? :-p You could remove the faction completely, claim your system, and then respawn them if, when, and where desired. ~ /npc_spawn_faction Spawning an NPC faction yourself using the ones in the npcFactions folder. ~ /npc_spawn_faction_pos_fixed Same...

      Show us your colors!

      I need to check Audible for that book! That quote alone had me cracking up :ROFLMAO: Ok, onto my colors. My mining ships - Grey or Dark Grey Hull - Orange Plating - Black and Hazard Yellow trim - Green lighting for the mining array - Red Engines, but given the new thruster plume, I may just...

      Public Permission Modules on Stations?

      I'm working on a potential future home base that I would like to turn into a public trading hub, what is the trick to attach public permission modules to docking points? I can't seem to attach the rail to the permission module nor the permission module to the rail.

      Is armor too weak?

      Before, I'm assuming they fixed some of those issues? I heard rumours that shipyards where better, but I didn't look hard enough to confirm or deny. Somehow I missed that patch note.

      Is armor too weak?

      I haven't experimented with Shipyards for a while, but when I was messing around with them, it had trouble with docked entities. Any docked entity felt like it had a roughly 50/50 chance of just not spawning in. On the flip side of deconstructing ships, docked entities sometimes would hang...

      Warship Design Philosophy (RP Perspective)

      Kind of, my primary goal when making a ship is to make it both interesting and effective. I do like to include a decent amount of interior, but I also want my ships to hold their own in a fight. I'd say my building style tends to be right between the extremes of carefully optimized PVP ships and...

      Warship Design Philosophy (RP Perspective)

      I have a rough layout most of my ships stick to. Crew and R+R facilities tend to be exposed and forward and upwards with some nice views through a few layers of white crystal armor. My bridge tends to be towards the top of a WWII/ Star Blazers inspired command structure, again with a sweet...

      Loadout for a smaller (460k blocks) capital ship?

      Ok, so 5 million shields with full ion needs to go to 6? So I'd need to find another 10k blocks to divert to shields. I'd probably have to sacrifice thrusters. From your numbers, and the numbers on the Deimos, do you run about 40% blocks devoted to shields on your ship? How many outputs and how...

      Loadout for a smaller (460k blocks) capital ship?

      I have a very pretty light cruiser that is underperforming versus the slightly improved pirates and pirate stations on the GenXNova server. Part of the problem is this is the first ship I've built larger than an escort and evidently I have no idea how to equip ships on this scale :whistle:. She...

      Weapon drills on smaller ships?

      I did a little testing on this concept last night, 8x roughly 300 Cannon 300 Cannon 300 Punch firing in line had an interesting quickly repeating bars of fire look, went clear through my 200 block penetration target with on clock, and made a mess of the frigate and destroyer I used as target...

      Weapon drills on smaller ships?

      Hmm, Dire Venom, how big is that targeting box on the display module and how far out from the gun camera is it? And I'm assuming the camera is directly in line with the projectile path or is actually offset a block or two? Now I'm thinking of kicking it up a notch and building the ship around a...

      Weapon drills on smaller ships?

      I had a crazy idea at work tonight, and I was wondering if I'm just tired and a little cracked or if this might actually work. I want to build a fast attack gun corvette/frigate as my next project (something that will hopefully only take a week or two and NOT six months :-p), and I was...

      Ship of the month (monthly community build)

      I'm interested, but for convenience sake, could you post the shell as a sment file? I've had mixed luck manually importing ships in SM file by file. :)

      My first build - Obligatory Mining Ship

      Oops. nm me, I'm out of date. That first mining ship looks much better than my first mining ship!

      Ares Aerospace new Tempest class light cruiser!

      Thanks! Yeah, the blue highlights are one of the things I struggled with on this ship, the plating looked odd without something on it, I just had a hard time figuring out what to put on them. In the end, I justified the blue strips in my head as a kind of passive detection system to tell if...

      What are reasonable and enforceable limits to reduce lag in multiplayer?

      Resources are a non issue on NFD, it's a dedicated building server and everyone has creative mode and access to admin commands. One of the requirements to get on the whitelist is to post a picture of your work to prove you are physically capable of building something other than a cube...

      How do I add thumbnails to Community Content?

      Dumb question, but I can't seem to find a clicky-thingy or texty-thingy to add thumbnails to the title line of my ships in community content. It'd be greatly appreciated if someone could explain to me where and what I'm obviously missing :P Technomancy hard! Me no understand! Gonna find some...

      What are reasonable and enforceable limits to reduce lag in multiplayer?

      GenXNova has the following ruleset, and for the most part the server runs pretty smoothly. Community Guidelines Contrasted to the NFD build server which has no limits besides "try not to crash the server". The Genx server is hands down more reliable, but I enjoy the freedom of building...
