Oh yeah, there is a certain enforced style server that I'm sure we've all seen but I won't name that looked great until I saw "All ships and stations have to be in X style". Did not give one rat's ass about how awesome the rest of the server might have been, I logged out of it and put it on my...

The amount of bitchiness people have about how slow things go who don't seem to understand that for most of the game's development cycle its been literally one guy working out of his garage to make it (we're up to what, 3 whole people now?) make it so even jokes like that are in fairly poor...

Dude, take the negativity outside, we don't want it.

Yeah, its still really early for something like this. You're asking for basically decorations when we are still trying to build the walls. This is something that would be nice a year or two from now when the game is much more finished and we're basically in beta and about to launch. Right now...

Devs have said that a Capital Ship update is coming that will allow us to designate one single ship as our faction capital, and that it will be allowed to have some previously station-only blocks. We've seen suggestion threads where people asking for factories and shipyards on ships have been...

You can dock to the anchor using a rail beam, yes, I said that. But the beam has limited range, and if your ship is large and the shipyard is large, you have to get the ship half way in the yard before you're in range of the anchor, which means you have been flying several hundred thousand...

Working on my carrier/capital ship and I'm currently building with future updates in mind. Primarily at the moment I am building a small shipyard into the belly of my carrier that is just big enough to let it build it's own fighters so that it can replace any lost fighters/drones on the fly...

Oh I always have a real jump drive installed. I'm thinking about adding a small drive like this not for chain driving but as an auto-charging emergency drive in case I fall out of warp on a star.

It can and will fire all weapons at the same time and will fire them as frequently as possible. However it can only aim one at a time, which means if you have a beam and a cannon on one turret (instant hit beam vs. travel time cannon shot), it will either lead the shot for the cannon and miss...

I've seen server mods that would let you use !core to spawn in a free core every hour. It was very handy.

Found this: Some info on installing one from the dock, but no real info on how to build it.

I've never actually built one, anyone got an example of just the basic drive setup on community content so that we could see how to build it?

I've been waiting for the "Well how are we supposed to completely win if the other guy can just go pick up new stuff and start over?" people for a while now, actually. Because they always pop their heads up. Anything that would prevent someone from being completely erased off the face of the...

Yup, whether or not they need access to actual critical systems (again, like a room with the various weapon computers in it) so that they can directly interact with them, or if we can just make little play areas for them will end up with vastly different results in terms of builds. If they do...

I've built 2 on servers before, and I'm building a third one in single player that I will be importing and blueprint filling on my current server when it is done. All three being at least a kilometer long. Last server I was on, my home base included a shipyard that was 1,000m x 600m x 400m for...

1) If you have to ask for help just to be able to play at all, then the game has a serious design flaw. Your ability to play should never be 100% dependent on handouts from admin or other players. 2) The point here was that it is entirely possible to be blown up to the point you don't HAVE...

1) Yes they will eventually, but will it be in the first update? 2) How? Do they need access to computers or thrusters, or does them just being on the ship work? These will be important questions.

I've seen servers with ship/station size limits. I immediately leave said server and never come back because I don't want some arbitrary limit (that I may or may not hit) telling me what I am and am not allowed to make.

I've put solar panels on stations before. I made them out of blue ingot wedges and ran power generators through the support arms. Bam, solar panels that generate plenty of power. I don't think we actually need more blocks for what amounts to a flavor option, not when you can already do it...

Working on a small titan that will be my main carrier/capital ship, wishing I knew a few things about: 1) How smart will NPC crew be? Do I need to make sure everything they do is on one level because they won't be able to use elevators? Or do I need to put in ramps between floors for them...
