      Multiple Ship Core Types: Fighters, cap ships, flagships.

      Nice. But you forgot the most important kind of core.

      Satisfying/Funny Moments

      Ok... How about I tell you a story? I think I'll call it... BOARDING SCHOOL Once upon a time, in the Aetherion Galaxy, there was a Whammy. This Whammy was a benevolent corporate overlord and mad scientist. Even though he was a little bit weird and had a bit of a :schema: complex, he was...

      Lukrah asteroids currently make armor tanking nonviable.

      I don't use it for armor but I do use some of the rocks for building materials in certain environments. Carved Lukrah for desert structures. carved Dolom for Terran cities., Varis for Forest bunkers, etc. If I abandon a base, I often take those blocks with me; replacing them with sand...

      Isanth Pirates Always Attacking Me

      You have to be fast. You need to build your industry, mine and collect parts quickly. For defense, it's best to build your turret in single player creative mode and save a blueprint of it then just buy the parts rather than design/build it from scratch. That saves you valuable time that...

      Isanth Pirates Always Attacking Me

      Don't hate...:p Then again, on the last server I was on, the pirates were custom and had a tendency to send 9k mass ships with a million shields after me. :eek: Players are one thing, but I don't let NPCs kick me off my base. Edit: As sick as it may sound. I actually enjoyed the...

      Isanth Pirates Always Attacking Me

      No problem. Also; I know some people here say 'don't build within _____ distance from a pirate base'. ...but if you're feeling gutsy and you're smart about it, you can turn incoming NPC pirate raids into makeshift supply deliveries. If you get your turrets or a combat miner online fast...

      Isanth Pirates Always Attacking Me

      If you can help it, don't let pirates scare you away from a good cluster of belts/planets. Isanths are not a big enough threat to warrant abandoning a belt of say "Lukhra (Fertikeen) asteroids. Here are the steps I take when setting up a new base in a resource rich system. 1) Make your base...

      Introducing The United Star Axis

      New fighter craft with a rudimentary RP cockpit. This unit has good armor and weapons for its size as well as a 2:1 thrust/mass ratio. AI cannot use this ship without running into power management issues unless its weapons are severely de-buffed. Enemy AI controlled fighters can be a...

      Small fight aftermath

      Awesome. I love fighter battles. I once took down one of these with one of these... It was an AI spawn of a design made before shield rechargers were released (thank goodness for that:confused:)... The fight took over an hour but I eventually won by circling the AI ship and pelting it...

      Fighter Porn

      That's not entirely true. By many players' standards, my ships are small enough to be considered fighters. At only 50 meters long, this falcon gunship was the fomation leader for my close formation defensive fighters shown above. At 100 meters long, the Challenger operates like a super...

      Hey Yeah... porn is like that. What an 'arousing' thread this has become... You can clearly see the kind of effect it has on my ships...

      Building Computers

      Here's my rig. I spent $1,150 on hardware in 2014. This thing still boots in roughly 25 seconds and handles everything I've thrown at it so far. You can easily get more updated hardware for this price in 2016. Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz 16GB DDR3 ram (ram is cheap but it's been said that...

      [Philoshopy] Why do we keep trying to build something pretty ?

      Even better... My ships tend to be a bit heavier than their dimensions may suggest since I use advanced armor and force fields on many of my builds. So I don't doubt that you can go far lower than what my numbers suggest.

      [Philoshopy] Why do we keep trying to build something pretty ?

      I'm curious, what kind of ship were you flying? You should be able to take out a station with a ship of 5,000 mass or less; 3,000 with a superb build. ...and you can do it with a nice looking ship. Let me know if you need help, maybe I can give you a some pointers so that you can have both...

      [Philoshopy] Why do we keep trying to build something pretty ?

      I'll expand on the position in favor of aesthetics. For reasons I won't get into right now, I play as a one-man faction in multi-player. Over the past few months, I've been approached by multiple players; asking for everything from a blueprint of my designs to doing cosmetic work on a basic...
