      Still a bug, has been a over a year

      No, it could lead to someone with faction permission dismantling it. Big difference. No game threatening bugs are present. The only threat is from humans intentionally screwing you over. Now, if this were a bug that would remove homebase invincibility or let anyone walk in and dismantle your...

      A step forward

      The fact that they turtle has nothing to do with their interaction (or lack thereof) with other players. By most people's definitions, I turtle. I stick to one base, I dock everything I'm not actively using, and I only fight pirates. But I chat with other people, I visit their bases, have...

      Tracker cannon

      Problem I see is that if someone is jumping out of battle, they're likely going to head home and dock. If they're heading home, were this a thing, they'd likely always dock the ship in a shipyard and deconstruct it then reconstruct it from the original design, meaning all you've really done is...

      Restricted Build Mode

      You could rotate the block if you had it, but the only way to get the slab in the first place is in advanced build mode. Otherwise you're just rotating a full cube.

      Building a jump interdiction drone

      Hmmm... doe jump inhibitors drain the drives of faction aligned ships, or only the other guy's? Thinking about installing these in my fighters and drones as well...

      A step forward

      Generally when I see this come up, its "I can't blow anybody up because they all sit at home!" types. Nobody would even notice if you were turtling or not if they weren't actively trying to hunt you down and kill you. And frankly, if they've got somebody trying that hard to blow up everything...

      Weapon systems acting weird

      Well, for the cannons, they fire in the direction the computer is facing. All the weapons do. You can't rotate the computer to make it look better without rotating the direction the weapon fires as well. I'd wager your guns are firing, they're just shooting backwards or off to the side...

      Still a bug, has been a over a year

      Because it doesn't have a big effect on gameplay. Big effect on gameplay means "The game crashes every time you drop Block X" or "You link a monitor to a shield capacitor and it bugs out giving you infinite shields". Those are big effects on gameplay. Not being able to stop a faction member...

      Lot of Null Error Exceptions Lately...

      In single player I've been getting a lot of null error exceptions during a variety of activities like taking screenshots via F6 and even just looking around the ship I'm currently building to see what to do next.

      A step forward

      Agreed. Stop telling other people how they are allowed to enjoy a sandbox game. If you don't like turtling, then don't turtle. Simple as that.

      Latest Dev Video: Going Back to Strip Mined Systems?

      Its not exactly a "Yes this will always happen" kind of thing, but it does greatly increase the chances of a corruption, yes. The more sectors that are explored/loaded, the larger the save files become. The larger the files become, the longer it takes them to save/load. The longer it takes...

      Quick and Easy Picture Tutorial: Automatic Doors

      Yeah, there is no way to faction lock the door if its on a sensor like this. Anything that goes through the trigger wall will make the door open. Its highly recommended if you think boarders are going to be a thing that you add a lock-down mode to your doors (namely an AND block to make it so...

      Latest Dev Video: Going Back to Strip Mined Systems?

      Problem there is that the wider ranging people are, the more the server has to keep track of. Shooting off into another galaxy inflates the file sizes of the database MUCH faster than staying in the starter galaxy. The more galaxies you spread out into, the faster you head towards corrupting...

      Latest Dev Video: Going Back to Strip Mined Systems?

      System richness dictating the respawn rate of asteroids would be good, that would create variety and actually make some systems more desirable than others. Limited/finite resources just are not acceptable in a game like this though. It would quickly become a case of resource hoarding, followed...

      Latest Dev Video: Going Back to Strip Mined Systems?

      One thing I noted in the video, he said that if the NPC faction uses up all of the resources there won't be any asteroids when the player gets there. So I'm rather forced to conclude that we're going back to the bad old days of total strip mining of systems due to lack of respawning resources...

      Target Painting

      Ooh, what if you could paint specific systems? As in, you could have your ship set to "Paint Thrusters" and it would find the largest single mass of thrusters and lock onto it's center of mass. Or you could "Paint Shields", "Paint Power", "Paint Weapons", etc so that the gunships could...

      How to Easily Kill Pirate Stations

      Seems that there are still lots of people that don't know the easy way to kill pirate stations and are still trying to brute force destroy them. Thats a huge pain in the rear, especially when most of them can be killed by simply dropping their shields and doing a quick surgical strike to cut...
