And periods. But there are better symbols for depicting stars: * ͓ ☼ • ● ☻ :)

Since there are more than enough angular shaped designs, my ships are typically a combination of various more or less round shapes. At the beginning there is the desired role and some thoughts about the rough shape. Then I make a few drawings on paper or in paint. Next up, I fiddle with an...

Pardon that comment, please.

If thrusters don't have to be exposed, it doesn't matter where they are, unless you want to realistically factor in each thruster block's force vector, which would turn shipbuilding into real rocket science. If position doesn't matter, we could simply rotate some of our thrusters and had the...

This only makes sense if it is enforced, that the nozzle side of thrusters must be exposed, which would irreparably ruin a lot of designs.

Use beam/beam turrets.

There's definitely not another button needed. A popup asking "Insufficient materials, still wanna build?" would do the trick.

Known Bug.

You can't distinguish between different ship types by using only the rails.

When I place one million blocks at once my computer freezes for a while, which isn't a problem, since I can do something else in the meantime. On a server, however, that's not so good, which is why server owners keep the maximum build area pretty small. While you can place large numbers of the...

When the flagship isn't in the same sector as the miners the "mining" state immediately switches back to "idle". So I sent a flagship core with four mining ships to a sector with asteroids and told them to mine. But after a while I admin warped to that sector and the miners were still empty.

That's a bug.

Fleets are severely bugged, don't expect anything to work properly atm. Maybe your miners are too big, that seems to be a common problem.

Unloaded mining doesn't work for me.

Phabricator

There's a sub-forum for suggestions. Advanced build mode is still pretty provisory and needs a general overhaul, including the possibilities to move and mirror blocks within a selection frame. Known bugs. A quick test showed that templates do hold texts. Docked ships do already use all their...

I made a quick test and my unfactioned turret shot a pirate ship consisting only of a core. This was directly next to my homebase, btw. What weapon does the turret use?

I used the following setup: a) 1 * 51 cannon + 51 beam -> 14 blocks destroyed b) 3* 17 cannon + 51 beam -> 21 blocks destroyed Target was basic hull with 75 HP and 0% armor If you hit 'G', then click on the cannon computer -> details -> weapon unit, next to "Damage/Penetration" there are a lot...

What was your exact setup? How many weapon modules, which blocks did you shoot at?

Several smaller weapon groups can do more damage than a single big one, since bigger weapons waste more block damage. It doesn't matter if you hit a block with 3000 or with 100 000 damage, you destroy one block in both cases. It does make a difference for armor HP, though. It's (N-1)*10%.
