      EMP Effect

      I suppose it would make sense to compare a cannonbarrell+ion to 2 cannonbarrells instead of just one. So x2 or x4 depending on how you are counting it. So I have to modify my config file to get EMP damage? That means I wont know how much it does on any particular server.

      EMP Effect

      I set up some weapon tests. Ion cannons certainly seemed to do more damage to shields - about 4 times as much as a regular cannon shot, atleast at the small scale I tested. But I could not get EMP to do anything. I hooked up a display module to the unit I was shooting at, and power remained the...

      Implemented Save player relative to ship upon logout

      Also, not having this feature makes the servers that have "no drag" almost unplayable. If you crash while going max speed on one of those servers, the capital ship you just spent months building is GONE.

Many times I have wanted a way to just get rid of some blocks easily, when tossing them into space is not possible or convenient. I know new...

      Why is there no wiki?

      You are talking about finished games. This is alpha. Wiki is probably hard to manage because everything changes every other patch or so.

      Turret Aiming

      When making AMC's for myself to shoot, I always make them rapid fire so I can hit things better, by getting the feedback of lots of little bullets. If you make an AI turret though, is there much point to rapid fire? I have heard rapid fire actually makes overall damage go down, and in any case...

      Some New Player questions

      Thanks for the answers! Yeah I bought it for $3, but only played a few weeks. I guess I bought it before July 12 but didnt get into it right away. I started fooling with space engineers for a bit. But this has a lot more possibilities. I hope the different effects like pierce and punch thru...

      Some New Player questions

      I apologize if these questions have appeared before, but I havent seen them. 1. How do you calculate "DPS" of a weapon? 2. If I have say a 50 module cannon and want to increase its power, I have no idea how to figure out beforehand if it is better to add 50 more cannon units, or an overdrive...
