Didn't we hear a while back this was possibly going to be one of the uses for command chairs?

Lots of stuff really, but here's a quick highlight: 1) Turrets How turrets are constructed has changed drastically. They use actual axis for movement instead of the old single turret block. 2) Rails Rails allow for a lot more movement, and can do lots of cool things. 3) Shipyards Shipyards...

Might be trickier than it sounds, seeing as how you would need to have the light source determine if the block covering it was a wedge/slab/etc, and then determine it's facing, but... ...I'd like to see light sources (crystals, light cubes, etc) still give some amount of light even when covered...

Yeah, on some of my ships I like to make the core into the seat of the captain's chair. Sit on it, then jump in.

Thruster Control Computer that allows you to adjust thrust in astronaut mode, that you can slave activators to like a rail speed controller to adjust plume length?

I'll leave this right here for anyone that wants to make smexy art: TOS Enterprise 1:1 Replica Shell

Been working on some engine porn and realized something during small scale testing, that while multiple thrusters next to each other will indeed combine to make a single solid thruster plume, they do not appear to change length at all. A thruster plume is apparently always 3 blocks long. While...

Row row fight the powah! Ahem, sorry about that.

Thats why you set up multiple lines. I currently run 4 separate factory lines (basic, standard, and advanced linked together) that run at 1x, 10x, 100x, and 1000x capacity. That way I can make things in whatever quantity I need.

Yup, look around at the sector markers. They're always in the center of each sector. If your sectors are 2km each, then if you look around and its roughly 2km to every sector marker around you, then you're in the middle.

Default starting supplies. Took down one of my warp gates that had a million shields and enough guns to take out a decent sized cruiser. Along with everything else on the server they could find. Just had to get a ship big enough to take out other ships, then cannibalize them, and pretty...

Dial the gate!

I would also point out that dedicated griefers already abuse the system for unlimited blocks as is. I've been on servers where coordinated griefer attacks happened. They got about a dozen people together, logged into the server, transferred all of their blocks and money to one person to hold...

Well the problem with that is ships and everything else currently store their blocks in relation to the core. So its basically storing it as "Grey Hull, 3 in front of the core, 1 above the core, 6 to the left of the core" for every single block in the ship. For big ships, changing just the...

I have to agree, the power beam is honestly pretty damned clunky and counter-intuitive to use. I'd much rather have factories either be self powered at the 1x level, or let you make power generators in your suit.

Working on some logic animated engine design, thought I'd share: Final Effect: Starmade GIF - Find & Share on GIPHY Running Logic: Animated GIF - Find & Share on GIPHY May or may not leave the logic in when I put it into the final ship, depends on how laggy it all ends up being. I...

Just came up on my server this morning. New player made their first ship, went out to find territory, and apparently a pirate fleet was hanging out just outside of spawn. Blew him away. Luckily I was on and went in to donate him a newbie brick miner so he was okay, but he was basically...

Yeah, its most likely the partial power issue, like Piper said. Basically, you need to make sure the turret is either 100% self powered, or 0% self powered. The way it seems to currently work is it checks "Do I have power?" if yes, it tries to fire on it's own. If no, it goes down a level to...

1) Each sector can only have one station, but each station can indeed have multiple warp gates on it. So you can indeed have a gate hub. 2) The short answer is no, you cannot have a base spanning multiple sectors. Technically you can, but they bug out horribly and cause system issues. Always...

I make storage rooms that automatically sort everything for me. There is a master in-box that everything gets dumped into, and then a dozen or so boxes for things like weapons, support, decorative, lights, rock, etc. Hit C on the sorted boxes, then V on the master chest. The sorting boxes can...
