I saw a reference once in a post to "fixed turrets". For the ship I am building I will have a few turrets that fire at "selected", and I would like the turrets to be in a fixed position. Is there a way to make your turret unable to move?

I much prefer this type of server to the "vote and get 25 million credits" variety, which is ridiculous. I played on a survival server (one with no space drag), but before going all out in one I want to wait for the crafting system overhaul.

Whats to stop someone from destroying all your stuff while you are logged out?

I have never seen a game with as much potential for expansion as this one. Its dizzying.

To me the point of an untouchable base is to fix the fact that we do not actually sleep on our ships or a base, we humans go to bed, while our ships, illogically, are empty and unattended. IRL we would be on the ships and if attacked alarm bells would wake us up so we could shoot whoever is...

What else do you have to do besides hit "p" to make a map come up? Just hitting P removes the GUI elements, like the hot bar at the bottom, but nothing else.

So are power units a waste in turrets, or does it use its own power before drawing on mothership power?

I have been putting power in all my turrets, but I just realized they will shoot even if not powered. So how does this work? Do they always draw ship power, even if they have power reactors? I was trying to build a maxed ship, with power usage at the edge (Firing all 9 cannon banks slightly...

Awesome - so in the future, the stars will all be actual objects...like suns or planets.

I dont get it...is that some sort of mod?

Lasers and beams and cannons, oh my. Now I am confused. I am waiting for turrets to do it, because I know I have no prayer of shooting a missile, beam or otherwise. Its "Oh look a mis - " BOOOOM.

I kind of like some restrictions on how some blocks get put up, like power (and power tanks) are now. The loop idea for jump drives sounds thematic since warp gates are similar. Though it would be one more step to encouraging cubes, I think like someone suggested turning really needs to be based...

That sounds good, if thats doable codewise then its more flexible.

Currently if I want to put up some sort of sign, I either need to use the tiny display module, or go through the hassle of GIGANTIC lettering with blocks. There is perhaps an easier, intermediate way. I suggest a block, similiar to the display module, but which contains a user-defined...

As a programmer.... This type of bug that only shows up on one type of machine can be very difficult to diagnose. Unless Schematic has access to that hardware, it comes under the heading of "bug that cannot be reproduced", which I can tell you from personal experience is the bane of any...

Considering the $3 I spent on this game and its already better than any $50 game I have bought in a long time, hell yeah me too. It could very well eventually beat out my favorite games of all time (Sacrifice and age of wonders: shadow magic)

What map is everyone talking about? I see the keyboard item "p" which supposedly ceates a map, but all it does is clear the GUI. What have I been missing?

I thought AI accuracy was server configurable, something turrets shared with pirates.

In any game when some weapon/defense combos are almost never used, and others are considered default, it is a sign of "imba". Fast cannons seem to be a default setup for cannons. I think for example, other cannon combos should be ramped up (and perhaps fast cannon nerfed) until enough people...

Well the target was small to, just about 15 power units. I increased the EMP module count to about 20, and it made no difference.
