This basically isn't a thing anymore for internal docked reactors. Explosions no longer pass through hulls, so internal reactors cannot be hit without first dropping shields entirely and then digging through the hull and any intermediary blocks. Odds are by the time a docked reactor is even...

Thank you lawd, it done got fixed!

Yeah, if you want to do cramped hidden turrets, you have to disable turret AI and reset turrets from the all systems interface, and then deploy and re-activate all turret AIs when you want to use them again. Its kind of cumbersome at this point, which is one reason I decided against hidden...

Bench has a good video on how to make a clock pulse with an on/off switch here: Build that on your ship, using 5 delays instead of 1 (each delay is half a second, and you want 2.5 second delays, which is the fire/recharge time of the power supply beam). The activator with the not attached to...

It comes up a lot about which side has more players on it. Usually with statistics from similar games/genres about server breakdown, but I don't think I've seen anyone gather any statistics from the Starmade players themselves. Now, before you vote, I want to define the two terms in relation...

There's two ways of going about it. 1) No Capacitors You create your power reactors, and then have two separate power supply beams on two different computers built into it. Set up a clock pulse with a 2.5 second delay to an activator and a not, and hook your supply computers up to those. One...

So I turned the ring on for the first time and not only did my FPS plummet down to 15 from 150, but the entire player community in unison basically went "Lag from hell! Edy, what did you do?!?" as the server screamed in agony. So apparently I have a new, unexpected ultimate weapon. I turn the...

At the moment I've ringed the gate in anti-astronaut turrets and added several more large cannon turrets.

Whatever lets you sleep at night. I spent about a month on the server. You were running those giant Defiants as standard pirates. And just when I did manage to build a titan of my own, you decided "Hey, lets replace all of the pirates with borg" that ripped it apart less than 5 minutes after...

Long as you're buying or manufacturing the blocks in game and not just using a console command to poof a ship into existence, I wouldn't call it cheating to use someone else's design. No more than I consider it cheating to spawn one of my designs into the game from a blueprint.

Thats great news. I have several other factions butted up against where I made mine, and I can't tell my space from theirs without physically flying into it and reading the sector notice that pops up. Makes me hesitant to gather resources outside of my home system because I can't be 100% sure...

Hey man, you not a cop right? Relax, I just want to buy some salvage modules. You got 'em or not? Yeah, I got your salvage modules, I got all the salvage modules you could want...

Okay, good thing I finally got the alignments figured out then.

So, basic question. Does a Bobby AI "see" according to the direction the core is facing, or does it see along the way the weapons are facing? I'm trying to make a turret facing perpendicular to the surface instead of parallel to it, and I cannot seem to get the axis to work, so trying to...

Yeah, I really have a hard time feeling compassion for their plight of limited block IDs being why we don't get much in the way of new blocks when I can't fly through a pirate cloud without my inventory being filled with Burnt Orange Dirt and the like. Can't sell it, can't use it, it exists for...

Guess I'm going to have to make anti-personnel turrets to protect my anti-griefers turrets.

I'm already set to declare war on attack, and the gate is within range of spawn, I can't consider neutral as hostile. Does cutting with a torch not count as hostile action?

So, I build a nice looking warp gate to spawn and give it enough shields that it can't be accidentally damaged, some griefer blows it up. Fine, I build a massive turret to protect the gate, somebody uses a damned torch to cut their way into the turret, disable it, and then blows up the gate...

I still find it jarring that undiscovered derilict stations and pirate bases apparently broadcast their existence to the entire damned universe, but shops hide like the cops are looking for them.

I did. You said you can't buy or make them, just salvage them. Which for all practical purposes means you don't have them. And I'm assuming you two are on the same server, which puts everything in context (since apparently that wasn't important enough to mention up front). There are no...
