      OK, I decided to try building another ship, with lots of shields, and see if I could escape my deathtrap of a home planet. When I was halfway through, it blew up, killing me yet again. I checked the radar when I respawned. The nearest pirate ship was 11 km away - 11 km! Furthermore, my base is...

      Thanks for the replies! Both of my ships had radar jammers operating. Isn't that supposed to prevent missile attacks? Do pirates use radar jammers themselves? I thought maybe there were pirates up close that I just couldn't see on the navigation screen, because they were using jammers. Oh...

      OK, thanks, guys. I've got more questions, though. :) Not about the docking module. I hugely enlarged that, but I didn't get a chance to try it out,... and I may not, now. I was going to be afk for a minute, so I hit escape, thinking that bringing up the options menu would pause the game...

      Hmm,... clearly, I don't understand the docking module at all. I thought the ship was supposed to perch on top of the docking module, but that's not where the colored box is showing up. Eventually, I built a pillar for the docking module, which got the box up above the ground (in front of the...

      1. Well, I figured out why I wasn't even seeing a cube. :) I thought the cube was supposed to show up when you 'activated' the docking module. Apparently, it only shows up when you're in a ship, and click on the module while the ship core is selected. So now I've got a cube,... though it's...

      A few other questions, if you don't mind: 1. How do I set up a docking module? It says to press 'R' to activate it, but nothing happens when I do that. (I've seen videos that show a blue cube around the docking module, when it's activated. I don't get anything like that.) Once it's activated...

      Newbie questions (very basic stuff)

      I've played a lot of confusing games, but this one might take the cake. Then again, I just bought it yesterday, so I suppose that explains it. Heh, heh. Anyway, I've got a few very simple questions. I'd appreciate any help. (Yes, I've been watching video tutorials and reading the wiki, and...
