I don't agree with the OP at all. Mining is one part of the game, and I don't want to spend the majority of my time, or extended periods of time, doing it. Frankly, I find wandering around and watching rocks disintegrate to be one of the least enjoyable aspects of the game.

My experience is that they only show up on the original derelict starbase, not the ones that have been recently added. Because of all the new bases that were added you will see it much less often. The spiders were added as a test for future AI additions, so I'm not surprised it hasn't been...

Might help on large turrets, the logic and beams are more than I can put on the small turrets I've been using. The resulting turrets would look silly on the ship, of course.

I have a number of ships that were built with shield supply beams hooked up to logic on the mother ship, supplying shield regeneration to numerous turrets. Since there is no visible beam animation for the supply beams yet, I hooked a light up to the logic system so I could more readily see when...

I personally like the planets the way they are. This is a voxel game and there should be a level of "blockiness." They need to do something to improve the performance of the planets they do have. Frame rates drop into single digit territory whenever I land on one, and the gravity is so strong...

How much thrust to mass do you need to leave a planet now? It never used to be so hard, but now I struggle to get any of my ships off planet.

That's depressing. I always thought that the facings of the ship were simply determined by the core's orientation, and that the ship settled on the ground based on whatever blocks touched first. It's too bad, I made a sleek looking exploration vessel with a nice open view, and I hate having to...

I built a ship with planetary landing in mind. When I took it out for a shakedown cruise, I decided to land it on a nearby planet as part of the test. The ship has 1357 thrust for the ship's mass of 998. Also, it can achieve 100% overdrive. My first surprise was that it could not escape the...

Thank you, NoK0mm3nt. :)

I like this, but does anyone have any tips on how I could import it into Excel without breaking the formulas?

Ranges were adjusted with the new galaxy, as the default system size was upped to 5km from 1km. The pirate station claimed another one of my ships last night. I really think there is a bug and the missile isn't always visible. As lethal as its payload is, it has a max range of 8km, only flies...

I see that Sven the Slayer has opened a ticket regarding this, but I'd like some clarification on how the radar jammer affects AI? As stated in the title, and as Sven describes in his support ticket, I approached a pirate base while using a radar jammer (not cloaked,) and was suddenly destroyed...

I removed a couple warp gates that were no longer needed. The gates are gone and no longer show up on the galaxy map. The connecting lines on the galaxy map are still there, however. Is this a bug, or is there some way to remove them?

You could make something more resembling the Voyager, with the nacelles out to the side rather than up at an angle. Alternatively, just wait a bit for Schema to finish the new docking system. Perhaps that will finally do away with the docking area limitations.

That isn't the default on our server. The admin hasn't changed anything regarding missile defense and turrets only fire on neutral or enemy missiles. When I test missiles, I ensure that the ship firing the missiles does not have a faction block and has not been docked to anything that has a...

We definitely need flashlights to explore the new bases. Some of them are very poorly lit.

That is "the one." It kind of explains what happened, too. I was blown up after I had dismantled the turrets, but it must have launched the missile earlier and it had snuck up on me when I thought I was safe. Still, an 40m radius explosion that can tear through 40k of shields with one hit...

The docking ship is going to have it's ship core positioned over the docking module of the mother ship. The docking ship will position itself above the docking module so that the lowest point on the ship is just above the height of the module. So, in the example of your Star Trek ship, the...

1. Turrets can rotate 360° and probably 60° up and down for their firing arcs. Alternatively, you can rotate the weapon computer so that they shoot up from their docked location. 2. A ship or turret that is docked to another vessel will draw power from that vessel if it doesn't have enough...

I have a couple of ships I haven't used much in the last month or so that I took out for a spin today. Both were well balanced in power, so that they wouldn't run out of energy even under maximum draw. The first ship has one multiple missile launcher and one cannon for hard points. I can fire...
