You can use slaves with mining drones. I have a drone that has had a cannon slave (100%) on it since it was built. It works. Once I fixed the cargo issue (It had no storage space, since I had improperly linked the logic) it worked fine. It will mine asteroids just as it is supposed to. These...

...Criss, I hate to be the negative person here, but build for lore, not for the poor functionality we have now. Don't base every off of the honestly dreadful docking AI, or what they WILL be able to do. Base it off of what makes SENSE. They MUST be able to connect to each other if they're in...

If anything, only trading vessels would have standardized interfaces between all factions. It would be very advantageous to make it harder for the enemy to board your combat vessels, while civilian-only vessels would WANT to be able to connect to the faction that is responsible for most of the...

AS LONG AS he doesn't step on Schine's metaphorical, copyrighted feet. I wouldn't think that it would be a problem, but you never know. Might want to ask before advertising it/profiting off of it as something other than a SM-based addon.

Because we are not as awesome as the Master Chief. Sorry, dude, but it's true.

Can't wait to see this fully made. Looks great.

No, take an entity, eject it out the front, get pulled, then capture it with pickup rails, and eject it again. Infinite use, nothing but docking/undocking lag.

That's too bad. Smaller blocks are the most interesting way I've considered of putting things into a sort of scale with the ground.

Here's my thought: Make atmosphere drastically slow things that enter them. Spaceships, missiles (REALLY slow), cannon blasts, (Beams weakened, maybe? Scattering due to particle interactions, after all), damage pulse, well, nerf damage as well. Same reason as beams. Then, make...

But what does this "aura" module do???? Explain, please.

Well, I think they'd have to be undocked somehow, so if you just made a series of disposable push-pulse drones, you could do it, but it'd be vastly underpowered compared to conventional methods. Not to mention expensive (All those lost drones...)

Good idea, Valiant, but that still doesn't account for the shape of a ship, except that, in order to really reduce calculations, you have to make a circle or sphere with radius x (Where x is the longest dimension of the ship in question) and repel the circle/sphere of radius y (Where y is the...

Yeah, well, I would start by recommending, if anything, the combination presently capable of dealing with an Isanth. Perhaps even, for this guide, a recommendation of what to do if each type of Isanth is spotted. For instance, you might want to run if you're in your first ship and you are being...

This is an excellent, comprehensive guide for the middle-ground noob. Not really "new", but not experienced yet. It could cover some more basic topics, such as "Lshift to stop your ship from flying forever", but we have tutorials that should do that. All in all, I really like it. Very good...

Please do not get confused yet. So, you've discovered the most important basics of SM: Flight, power (Did you?), pirates (Those things hurt at first), the respawning system (Next time, use an undeathinator!), enemy weapons (Maybe you should get your own?), potato-computer-effect (NEW COMP...

I don't do any scripting myself, but I still must ask: Why has this not gotten any attention from anyone? This seems simple (Forgive me for being a clueless, interfering idiot) and really should be a priority. Makes for more interesting servers, which is important to holding interest for those...

The LAG, though. No "deflectors" necessary. That'd be unnecessarily laggy.

I did it as well. Hopefully we can get SM to win a bit of publicity like this.

So you disagree with people's aesthetic choices and their stovetops? Whatever. As long as you swear your eternal servitude agree with me, I don't really care why. ;)

I looked, found nothing, so here is my obvious and simple request/suggestion/impolite demand/whatever you may call it. Make plume direction be determined by thruster orientation. Recently ran into this issue on a build where I was using thrusters for an engine-core sort of look...and needed...
