      Strangest Glitch Yet Last Night, The Picard Manuever

      Yeah, my last super-capitol ship I was working on had the same thing happen to all 6 of the AMS turrets I was docking to the front of it. They'd "Picard maneuver" to the neighboring sector as soon as I docked them. Otherwise they work normally; still rotate like they are docked, still intercept...

      *points at Dominion in sig. I don't know a patric, but you can say hi to Bobby and Levist for me if yer a LG player. Me, I'm even MORE lazy and like the boosted mining. Agreement there. Oh no, words! They'll give the children a conniption and the womenfolk The Vapors!

      lol is usd just a logic loop that switches a rail in all 32 directions every couple seconds? (fire till you fit)

      Small change to the advanced build mode.

      ...you mean the "replace block with current selection" checkbox in the remove/replace filter on the bottom of your ctrl menu?

      Destroy a sun?

      god mode -> go to the EXACT center of the sector-> build a station in cubic form-> one-several blocks should refuse to place, showing you the star's "origin" block.

      docked energy reactor question

      best option save for auto-self nuke is to have a blast door and push-beams/pulse tied to the undock. second best option is constantly rotation 3rd tier power supplies external (yes a target, but they don't clip when they detach) (reactor) --> (rail**) ---> (main ship**external rails mounted to...

      Good Salvaging Ships?

      http://starmadedock.net/content/ares-class-autosalvager.1680/ older planet eater, SHOULD still work just fine. Click a toggle and it crawls along at a set pace just eating entire planets beneith it. Illegal on GenXnova and DominonGaming due to lag-bombs when it starts up.

      Andromeda Ascendant

      Clocks? Why? Activated(blue) activation block (detector) -> "or" -> light control. No clock required. If/when the activation (detector) block is destroyed the "or" should drop "low"(orange) giving your your damage signal. Throw in a "not" off the "or" connected to some doors and you can have...

      Tank VS Mech

      ...tanks are MECHanised infantry... But if you mean "wheeled vehicle(wheeles wrapped in tracks or not)" vs. "articulated walker" 9/10 times a wheeled vehicle wins. on "hull down": No reason a bipedal walker can't go "prone" just like a typical bullet-catcher jarhead dumb enough to be out of...

      Damage Pulse + Missile = ?

      I thought that was the abandoned "minelayer" mechanic?

      A counter to cloaking?

      have 50% of your ships mass as scanners, resulting in a short cooldown, letting you repeatedly scan-pulse. +1 proness: Also, your minimap still shows the cloaked/jammed ship(if you understand which dot it is) +2 proness: Having a dedicated CREWMATE sitting in a docked entity that is ENTIRELY...

      Destroy a sun?

      AFAIK the sun is actually a single invisible block, directly at the center of the bloom effect, and has 5 hp. so, a large enough explosion, targeted well enough, could very well destroy a sun. Back in the day a 3^3 "skin" around that block would stop the damage rays from hitting other...

      Can this game be "Played" actually?

      That is unfortunately the downside of a randomly generated world and luck. for starter packages edit you game.cfg and use different usernames. If it's that bad i guess "Sijaiko" on your local game was a great martyr to be remembered by his sucessor, "Sijaiko II"

      Any way to fix the Ghost Computer bug? /Nope

      You can fix this problem ingame by going though the following arduous tasks: -select core (default bind d-pad "up" in build mode) -build a computer inside the ghost computer (preferably the computer type that was there originally, if known) -cycle the spot with [v] twice -delete computer -if...

      A manifesto on crewability

      It's currently possible, many peopel don't DO it though. Like you can have someone "hot swap" your cannon-cannon-ion sytem into a cannon-cannon-explosive/peircing/unlinked. filling the "engineer" role. "Divert weapons power to shields?" -> unlink the ion, so it can be activated as shield...

      cockpit-overlay for the screen. Could it even save FPS?

      You kan KIND OF do this right now! Big crystal wall in front of your camera, display modules to output numeric of shields and energy (WHY NOT SPEED YET!!?!?!) Still I see what you actually mean, and I agree, drag-n-drop +scale vector hud you could customise to some degree would be awesome. drag...

      A Manifesto on Fuel, Balancing, and Various Play Styles

      Bravo. +1 A use for all those "placeholder" blocks. Are we talking Bussard collecters / ramscoops, crystal power, zero point(the current method of power, note: "unlimited" like below but that softcap...), fission/fusion, entropic, blood magic......? A use for all those "placeholder" blocks...

      Implemented Save player relative to ship upon logout

      Having thought on this for a while, and seeing it's renewed discussion...let's crack this can and see what the worms catch. I suppose the "exploits" mentioned could be easily mitigated by dialog box ->"you have entered the gravity of..." 'warning' that EVERYBODY IN THE SECTOR SEES, could be...
