      Block non-faction in build mode

      Err, no. An empty shell will be empty and light as hell. I am doubtful systems would be made so light they'd be hard to notice if there were missing or not. Only thing seeing inside has ever done was revealing how much interior/empty space was left, or hunting for a possibly hidden faction...

      Just a thought

      Might be able to do that with shipyards, since you would need to put the BP into a shipyard block for it to build iirc. If blueprints can be pulled from storage by another storage and the shipyard block via logic, it'd be doable ingame. Could poke a dev and see if they plan or have considered...

      Question about block ratio for weapons

      The only thing stopping people from waffle-boarding now is the power increase per group. All this really does is force the front of a ship to be bigger and bulkier if you want more weapons, or to make it wider (unless you want beams spitting our from the middle of the ship). 'Master' to me is...

      Question about block ratio for weapons

      I suppose it makes sense if you look at it from a effect standpoint, since effects are expensivem but that could be changed so # of effect needed is half of the weapon group. The total block count would still be the same though, and it is harder to control the % ratio of effects like that (100%...

      procedurally generated horror mobs

      The spiders appeared in the abandoned stations, but why were they abandoned? Wasn't a pirate raid because the stations were still intact. couldn't have been anything big because how would it get there? Would have to be something small enough to find in the station and the ship that brought it...

      Question about block ratio for weapons

      I don't follow this logic at all, since the total block count still remains the same, it uses the same amount of space. Want a single block output? Sure, it'll be hard to hit, but once you lose it, the gun is gone. What about when you start losing blocks? Masters tend to be upfront in my...

      procedurally generated horror mobs

      That spider was unfinished, Animations were still being worked on, but it was added as sort of a test.

      download problem

      That or people have no idea. I think 20 views and no posts is better than 20 posts saying "I dont know" and possibly burying answers.

      Nova Fleet Dynamics Build Server- Build, Play, Explore! [Whitelist]

      Server is working again, sector bugged out and everything in my sector got undocked and collided, including my Battleship with had over 50 things docked to it (40 of which were internal). Was a fun mess to clean up.

      Is there a good way to add custom pirate ships?

      Loot drops depend in very little, >Is it part if faction ID -1 [A pirate] >Is it active (AI is on and shooting at stuff) If the answer is yes to both, it should drop loot (scale-able in the config) upon death, depending on it's size (bigger ships give bigger lootz) . You could also make a backup...

      WARNING: arctic gaming admins corrupt

      The game has this really weird no-clipping 'fix' for collisions, I remember someone on the build server smacking around against the sides of my ship until it activated and he could freely clip through because he was too lazy for build mode or something. Could have also been tab+f6, but that has...

      Recognized Personal Lock Block

      I was under the impression that factions were suppose to share and distribute resources (which includes ships). I can see why it would be an issue on your server Lidren, since you disallow 1 man factions ad the like, but people who come to RP should also respect the implied rules set by their...

      Ship purchasing

      If you surrounded the shop with another station or covered the sector in Area of Denial style turrets, I wouldn't think you'd have to worry about other people buying the ships. Maybe a faction already has twice as many ships as they could possibly use out and docked, but then have 3 times that...

      How to make Warheads usfull

      If you find an undocked titan, without AI making it move, you can shoot at it till it pops, might take a while, but if he is offline it doesn't really matter. I don't know, it just seems like a cheap excuse to speed things up and increase the dependency on invincible homebases (because cloakers...

      How to make Warheads usfull

      Or people who like to explore and can't always make it back to their base. Or factions without a giant ass base to dock everything. Or people who are tired of the cowardice that is docking everything to an invincible structure, which can become vulnerable on servers that allow that.

      Starmade Shipwrights Alliance [SSA]

      Why not try looking at Paranid ships from X3? Those are kinda curvy (if I got the race right), or try making a Kha'ak cluster. Kha'ak would make a great pirate set methinks, or player ship with drones.

      Hp being taken instead of shields.

      This is support, not suggestions. As for OP, are you sure it was your shields that were full? Didn't mix up yours' and your targeted entity's?

      Recognized Personal Lock Block

      I thought you could put faction permissions on cores now? Restricting the rank? Generally speaking if you are a member of a faction and cant trust your allies, I would suggest finding a new faction.

      Suggestions to Improve Mining and Pirate Hunting

      MINING_BONUS = 1 //general multiplier on all mining; in the server.cfg for easy modifying. Pirate loot as a whole needs to be overhauled at some point, assuming they still just spit out a cloud of random blocks.
