Yeah, it's just like the blocks - the asteroid ones - jump, or switch position a bit. It seemed to be triggered when the beam animation- and the corresponding block vanishes. I thought it could be because of working on a sector edge, but it happened not every time though. I wonder if the edge...

Hmm, I saw something like this yesterday while mining an asteroid. From time to time while using my salvage beams it seemed like the asteroid position jumped a little bit. Certainly not as much as OP described, but a very noticeably few meters nevertheless. (using release 0.163 with all default...

Very interesting the concept of modular building ships like this. Certainly something to have a go at. ;-) Forgive my ignorance, but am I correct in supposing you just start like creating any other ship with a core and pressing X to put it in the game and create a template of your choice? EDIT...

As a little follow up I made a screenshot with a nebula backdrop instead of just black with stars and the result makes me believe it has to do with how the alpha channel is used in the game and is interpreted for the *.png screenshot export. It seems as if black is interpreted as transparent by...

One thing using Windows Vista or later that can really hamper operations for programs that need to read and write from and to the hard-disk is using the default Program Files and Program Files(x86) folders. These are extra protected for writing by the OS and need extended user account rights...

Nope, all the settings found in the advanced settings view are default, so anti-aliasing is set to zero, I just checked. <g> On the main connection screen the only things changed from default, if I remember correctly, are the screen resolution, Fullscreen on, Normal/Bump mapping on and Shadows...

I noticed today that screen shots taken with either F5, or F6 in v. 0.163 (release) display the space background as transparent. Probably a flag that's set wrongly for the *.png format. Needless to say this wasn't the case in the previous version 0.1617 Greets, Jan

Actually what is shown in the video is the principle I tried to describe. Obviously English isn't my first language so maybe it was slightly hard to understand what I meant. ;-) It's also good to know there's a cap at higher values although I'm hardly there to start building things that need...

Actually I started thinking placing them as three connected sides of a cube or rectangle was the most efficient way, and then interweave this idea as a pattern in the space inside that thus created virtual cube or rectangle space shape. Have I interpreted the second tutorial on the home page...

In the latest build 0.163(release) I can't seem to open the faction module with R. Has something changed with this? It seems impossible to create a home-base now, or I must be doing something wrong... EDIT: Nevermind, had picked the wrong block called Faction Permissive Module, silly me. ;-)...

When I watched that video on Twitch immediately the movie and the spin-off TV series with the name Stargate came to mind. I wonder if it will be possible to put in a kind of dial up system in there. That would be interesting indeed and add a lot of tactical possibilities. ;-) Greets, Jan

Noticed a video about this new development too, although on Twitch. ;-) The name Stargate does remind me of a movie and spin off TV-series from some time ago. I wonder if and when this is released it would be possible to create a dial-up system like used there, maybe using logic blocks perhaps...

Some very interesting thoughts are vented here and the initial ideas described sound like a good way to upgrade the propulsion system. Trying to read a little between the lines I presume that also the dampening system (the left shift key) will be adjusted accordingly. In other words higher...

I've seen the concept gravitational lift mentioned in other posts as well and, although I can envision how that could work, a video or more in depth description would be handy to see what's involved exactly. ;-) Greets, Jan

@K10wN: If this happens more often when the docking beam hits other blocks as well as the docking block itself, then that's probably the case here too since the docking block is flush with the surface of the planet and from some distance the aiming cross is notably not that precise. ;-) I won't...

Well, to be precise, I did / do use the normal docking block and enhancers and yes I did see the tutorial about turrets, so I know there are two docking versions and I'm sure I used the right one here. ;-) From your responses I gather it's a bug then, thanks for the info. Greets, Jan

Hello All, After I made a small landing area with a docking spot on the surface next to my first foothold on a planet, I noticed that when I dock on that spot the server throws out the warning message "cannot dock here! target not compatible". As you can see the docking went just fine...

Well, being relatively new to the game and a single player type in general, also to learn the ropes at the moment, I feel the open environment - read sandbox style - should be kept as one of the real attractive parts of the current game. That doesn't mean however that some more realistic...

As far as I gather, you probably only have to download the new launcher and replace the old one with it. For the game itself, it checks what needs to be updated and downloads only that. Also it seems to have the option to differentiate between types of build. So you can decide to update only...

This is something what I, as a new user of this game, was wondering about too. I know that making video tutorials can be a lot of work, so I would already be happy with some written, up to date, documentation, since that's more simple and quicker to do. I can understand that a full blown user...
