I'm on a multiplayer server, but it was at a time of the day when I was the only player online. Not only that, but we don't have any PvP players. It had a damaged look to it - in that the hull blocks around the edge showed the damaged state. Still, we're talking about an 80 block diameter...

I still struggle with that notion. The previous system had no confusion at all. It was one computer block and the modules attached to it. In fact, given that most players are going to start out by using a salvage beam, it was probably an easier introduction than the weapon system.

I just discovered that pirate bases have shop modules, too. Not sure who they trade with... :)

Ew. Just, ew. I hated the lack of weaponry we had, and no matter how large your turret, they always fired little pew pew pellets. It was just silly. Yeah, our server has always been survivor mode. My salvager is new, and takes into account the changes. My astro technician ships - all very...

Yeah, but this change seemed like it was fixing something that wasn't broke. Overhauling the weapon system brought a lot of needed diversity to weapons. Overhauling the support beams does nothing other than obsolete all existing ships.

I died and my ship exploded very suddenly. The only threat in the area were a few Isanth pirates that had been called by a pirate station. I had just removed the turrets from that station, and was turning to finish off the Isanths. They did not have the firepower to harm me, and I fully...

Place a cannon computer. We'll call it Cannon #1. Add as many cannon weapon blocks for Cannon #1 as you would like. Place a second cannon computer. We'll call it Cannon #2. Add cannon weapon blocks for Cannon #2, but not more than you have for Cannon #1. Mouse over Cannon#1 and type "c"...

Your first point is out-dated. As was pointed out, stations only produce scrap when salvaged. I don't know what you are referring to with the "build without exposing yourself," unless you think players should have to space walk and place blocks? They certainly are at risk from pirate/player...

I'm really just curious as to what rationale was behind the change to require support beams to need secondary systems to improve their refresh. The change has ruined every support vessel I own, and I really don't know that anyone found the system to be unbalanced in the first place.

That's exactly what I did...minus the "carefully." I returned with a small ship of mine that is armed with half a dozen multiple-warhead heat-seeking missile launchers and evaporated the base. I finally found the faction block.

It would be the Hub Station by Vanhelzing *shake fist at Van*, but knowing all of the pirate faction module locations would be beneficial, since my own sector is 90% pirate base and I need to start clearing them out so I can have some peace and quiet while I mine.

A friend of mine was building his space station and asked me for help when he started getting overrun by pirate Isanths. I showed up with one of my cruisers and figured out that it was because he was too close to a pirate station, after wave after wave of Isanth's kept appearing. I flew over...

Not sure if missiles are visible through glass yet, either. That might be why it seems like a mystery hit.

The number of blocks does increase the charge rate, but it is a very gradual increase in performance. I'm generally happy if I can get it to charge in about 40 seconds, anything more than that would likely take an absurd amount of blocks.

I have just the server for you. We are a small group of friends who play casually. The server has few modifications, other than that docking clearance is ignored. There are only a couple of faction controlled sectors and the vast majority of the galaxy is unexplored. I will check with our...

I'm thinking pop-up turrets and overhead cranes. Aw, yeah.

The new update mentions a future rail system for docking - this sounds useful for creating sliding parts. An example might be the retractable landing bays for fighters on Galactica. I have at least one ship that I've wanted to add retractable wings to for carrier docking.

I'm excited to hear that a rework of the docking system is in the cards, based on the update notes for .1862. I was worried that Schema had put docking to rest given that it already got a rework sometime ago. Players have long wanted to have more control over the direction ships dock in, and I...

Since we don't really have PvP on the server I play on, there isn't the whole race for bigger ships. The players are all friends, and our main joy comes from building stuff. I build ships endlessly, but what I consider a dreadnought would barely reach cruiser status based on some of the...

Probably the same as with activating weapons while cloaked. I used to have a couple decent stealth ships. The first one was based on the Minmatar Vigil from Eve Online: The sails, or fins, on the bottom were made out of lines of power/shield blocks and produced enough power for a radar jammer...
