Is it close to the exterior of your ship? Because if so, you could put a viewport and/or a turret on the wall. As in, a turret access, just in case someone should want to enter that particular turret. Also, make sure the turret or viewport would fit the hull shape at that point. Or make an...

Nice. Exactly my thoughts on experimental procedure. Very good results. Now, maybe we should go about testing more effective combinations? I'll look into doing that, but it probably won't get done today.

Alright, that's a place to start. I've started by making an ion beam turret. Then I'll change the modules and voila, instant different turret.

I just tested area detectors, and they didn't work on a player-piloted ship. No clue why not.

What's the best combination of effects/secondaries and ratios for AI turrets meant to deal block damage to enemy ships of most sizes over fighter class?

Oh, so the four-barrel AMS is probably not going to work? Yeah, I spent probably 30 minutes yesterday designing and building 3 AMS mounts of differing sizes, all on the same design. The most minimal rapid-fire AMS barrel possible, mounted on a neat platform, a double-barrel version, and the...

Why not just warp the astronaut into a star? Transporter them into a coffin (2x1x1, perfect size for caging astronauts), inside a docked drone ship with no AI and a logic jump drive. Then, set the logic clock, drop the coffin pointing at the nearest star, and wait for the swearing to begin...

Very good testing methodology. However, you should've simply each one a separate test, so they don't all eat the same asteroid simultaneously. For future reference, I would recommend the same course, but instead of mining 1 asteroid, you send them out for a specific length of time, then...

The pyramid scheme is logical and necessary. You will face more missiles than you will fighters, bombers and corvettes, and you will face more small ships that you will battleships. And if you see a titan when you're in a cruiser, turn around and run. No questions asked. Edited that last...

Yeah, we intend to have a good mix of suppression and heavy turrets. Not decided on the exact means of suppression, but it'll probably be a cannon-cannon-ion setup in a large turret mount. Right now, however, I have to make an actual ship-killing turret that isn't ineffective. I suppose it's...

Yeah, 160ish weapon blocks, should've made that clear. Right now I've got no citadel built for the turret, but I'm considering the possibility of making a larger citadel than planned in order to squeeze in more blocks for the gun itself. I'm aiming for a fully protected turret assembly...

The Sentinel is for planetary landings or troop transport between friendly vessels, but the TIE boarding craft are for, well, boarding other peoples' ships.

Nice. Now you've got a truly Imperial ship. Now, because it's part Venator and Acclamator as well, you need a LAAT/I or LAAT/c or whatever the vehicle carrier is---I can never remember. Also, some Eta-2s or Aethersprites, assuming this ship has a Jedi onboard. Perhaps some vessels for your...

So, what's the footprint on this turret? More importantly, is this turret designed for a particular class of vessel? Or rather, size/role? Because right now I'm considering ways to make a 160ish block turret (That I built today xD) powerful enough to be relevant on a large heavy cruiser/small...

The Empire uses Star Destroyer Grey on all their ships. That's the only color. It's meant to access the unity and lack of identity of the Empire. Nothing's unique in the Empire, save the leaders. Everything's industrial and identical. Same with TIE Fighters. They're all identical, and few...

Removing middlemen blocks will decrease micromanagement required, and also improve experience because, as you said, no more "Oh darn, I needed white standard armor tetras, and I made grey standard armor tetras, now I'm done." Or, make a tetra, and then be one normal block short because a tetra...

Actually, if I recall, the TIE boarding craft shows up in A New Hope. It does in one of the Star Wars cross-sections books, at least.

Also, the Empire uses TIE boarding craft, not Lambda shuttles, for boarding ships.

Where's the TIE fighters? Can you fit a 140 meter long Republic Frigate in that bay? Or is this a mini-sized Venator/ISD/Acclamator mashup?

Neat idea. Also, I'd like to see a better replacing feature. Right now, you can replace blocks by selecting them with the "Remove/Replace Filter" button, but this gets annoying when you're working on a ship with lots of tetras and wedges, because you have to go from block form, reset, choose...
