      A Request for Turret Advice

      If not, build it bigger anyways. I have built a PDT that could oneshot an advanced armor block. Til I tested it and found that an armor value was the missing ingredient that meant it didn't. Now I have to build a bigger one, dangit, to do damage rapidly.

      A Request for Turret Advice

      Lol. I've started experimenting with turrets too now, never built anything before now large enough to need them. Now I'm working on a station for Light v Dark server, so I can have an outpost. And I need big turrets. Madman and I are working together, and we have one, but I'm curious to know...

      Fleet AI is atrocious.

      Shipyards do not, in my experience, break turrets. I've never had that happen. Nullpointers, glitchy designs/sectors and such, and various glitches, but never displaced turrets. Thankfully.

      Fleet AI is atrocious.

      Sounds to me as if they're bundling all these AI improvements and such into this Trading Guild update roll. Dunno what's goin on with that, when it's coming out or whatnot, but it sounds taken care of. But yeah, it needs worked on, but as I've heard from at least one decent programmer, collision...

      Fleet orders.

      And find the nearest pirate station, now I think of it, and put one of your fleets between them and your miners. That'll probably head off much of the trouble, even if it is far away.

      Fleet orders.

      Station defense forces at sectors around the miners, I guess, and order them to Sentry to start with. Also perhaps fly cover for the miners yourself, no Fleet AI issues then.

      The Bane Existence (Procedural Faction)

      Excellent fleet. I'm liking it. I want those as pirates now ... sweet-lookin ships.

      Help with a hull :)

      Find its length, width, and height if available. If not, find its length. That dimension is nearly always given. Then, use some math (or some editing program like photoshop) to find the height and width, then build your self a box. Maybe use a station for the box. Then, start building. Or just...

      Mobs

      A while to go on that yet. They're establishing basics and prerequisite coding to actually put them in. If I understood correctly.

      How does one make a good looking ship?

      Yeah - place blocks in shapes until something looks right. Honestly, just step back from it, figuratively and literally in-game. Slide your view back, and look at the whole hull. Find a shape, a design, an artistic flair, some little piece, anything you like, and then compliment it. Build off of...

      How do you manage your faction?

      Build a part of your station as a half-room, open to space. Dock the other half of the room there, and edit its permissions with its faction block (it's a ship, btw) so that it can be used by whatever rank you want to be able to edit it. That's one rank's barracks, or one member's setup. Repeat...

      Sounds interesting. You should do that.

      Critical Error since last Patch

      I had that error last night, I do not know what caused it. I was, however, attempting to access an LAN (not localhost, just to make that clear) server. I had it occur twice. I restarted my client and it worked fine, no more random errors. The server was also restarted but I doubt it had anything...

      StarMade Active Development Timeline

      Does "Can you fill in all the blank spaces for us?" count? Or is that just a little too pushy for information? I mean, if that's not too pushy, I'll go and find a way to bother everyone about getting everything in the game already, but you know, one step (leap) at a time. Thanks, it's really...

      Council Resignation Letter

      The Council doesn't seem to have a defined role (for those of us not in it). Yes, they respond, yes, they "talk to Schema", but not knowing what that entails I can't complain. What I do note is that two have now dropped for the reasons A. time is limited and B. they feel like they're not...

      Weapon Choice for Personal Fighter

      If you want a nuke to get through, down the shields first. You have to have a weapon other than a missile, of any type, cause missiles, I've found, suck for shield damage (I don't use ion, I need that block damage on small-scale stuff) in all cases. I've found C-C-O to be highly effective in...

      Starmade memes

      Vektor, please post higher-definition, higher-quality anime pictures if you can find them (which you can't, anime is based off of crappy animation and repeated shots because they don't have the money or, once they do, the willpower to make new ones and intricate details) rather than posting and...

      The ultimate drone R&D thread

      Still, it's a central location for drone tech and drone fun. So we can ALL enjoy it. Besides, it's nostalgically important along with its usefulness.
