Will have a play round with it. Think it may make them look out of proportion to the rest of the ship, but well see.

Yeah, know what you mean. Have wedges planned for pretty much every "blocky" bit you can see to smooth her out as much as possible. Thanks for the input.

Fair point. Had considered putting a stand off "blast shield" around each hanger for additional protection, but decided against it as thought it might look a bit "dicky". Will have another look at it, but will follow your suggestion if I cannot make it work. ArgoContar , yeah details are next...

Hi All. Yes, its very light on the details, and very heavy on the grey, but is my first attempt at a big(and yes I am aware its not really) ship. Its a blend of many sci-fi themes. Central assault beam based on a Galaxy deflector. Engines- Defiant inspired, aside from the swept rear end points...

I hope this is the case as I was planning to put some fixed AI missile banks along each side of my new build.

Thanks guys. Have been playing around and have got the general hang of it. Seems to me that the whole system is a bit limiting, esp when it comes to station design. And the sheer number of enhancers required for a large ship would make it even more limiting from an design perspective. Or is...

So, I would extend downward from the unit in order to make the box higher, right? Would it also work by adding enhancers upward on top of the last enhancer on the X or Y axis?

Ok then, but if the ship centres on the docking unit, how does that lay out work for the area forward of the unit? And How do you set out for the Z axis

Just been working on X and Y, but yes all connected, right from the docking unit out(but seemingly thats not actually required.

Thanks for your quick response(again). That is pretty much what I have done. Problem is box will extend along the X axis fine, but as soon as I extend along Y, the X then gets smaller. So i can only get a long skinny rectangle going one way or the other. Edit- Have taken over a std issue...

Ok, to continue with the dumb newbie questions....... Is there some trick to setting up the docking enhancers on my station? Have extended them pretty much in every direction, far beyond the dimensions of the ship, but will not make the box big enough. Have activated the main docking unit and...

Ah, righto then....was just working off what I saw in a tutorial vid, which showed a turret firing away at an asteroid after it was built. So thought "any" was literally just that. Right, now to find the admin command to spawn a pirate......they are never around when you ACTUALLY want...

Nope, no joy with any of the above mate. Got it set with 3 rows of 10 AMCs, 2 weapons comps linked. Activated the AI in every way possible, except via the structure tab.....try to activate all AI in the turret docking system, buts seems to do nothing at all. Going to AI config after clicking...

Thanks Orphaniel, that may well be the problem, not enough range(its not a big ship). Will play around with it, add some enhancers, beef up the size and see what happens. Will also try the alternate AI activation methods. Will let you know how I go. Cheers Coldbeer

Thanks guys. Building the turrets is fine,its getting the AI to shoot......well, anything!! Tried the faction module, but no change. Turret is set up as AMC-AMC/EXP. Was going to try missiles, but cannot purchase any as they are "obsolete" and no longer for sale. Is it a case of turrets not...

Hey guys. Brand new here and am(very) slowly getting my head around the basics of the game. I am getting shredded by pirates quite frequently, and cannot get my turrets to work. Have read that there are issues in this regard, but my question is are there any basic turret set ups that are...
