      Suggestions for making good turrets - post them here!

      I don't have any problems making a good ship, but making lasting turrets is driving me crazy. With the need to provide effective firepower, but also have reasonable defenses, I end up with turrets that are as big as the ship I want to put it on! All it takes is one isanth with missile...

      Is there someplace that explains the new 1.58 mechanics?

      I see that changes to thrusters and the like have been made, but no explanation of how they're supposed to be used now. Is there a link somewhere that I'm missing? If not, would someone who knows the information please post it? Thanks.

      How do I control NPC's?

      I bought an NPC at a shop on a multiplayer server. My only conversation options are to ask him to leave/join my crew, and "goodbye." I'd like to get him on my ship, at a minimum, and perhaps assign him to a weapon or something. Can anyone point me to a link or something? Thank you.

      Ships don't vanish after core overheat?

      This is something that's been going on with our server for a couple of weeks now. Everybody's home bases are littered with dead ships that get killed but never vanish. As you're travelling through space you'll find ships that were destroyed by someone just floating in the middle of nowhere...

      Pirates not spawning?

      The server I play on has been having issues getting pirates to spawn on a regular basis. Random pirates will attack areas where players are situated, but the pirates that sit in sectors when you're out flying around have nearly dried up altogether. The server admin has greatly increased the...

      Any plans for making missiles work with turrets?

      After each of the recent updates that worked to improve AI missile use, I tried to create a turret using missiles, but was dissapointed to discover that the Bobby AI still won't fire them. Are there any plans to fix that? Really, I feel that there is a great need for some kind of heavy weapon...

      Is power generation (e/sec) determined by box shape?

      It might be because I've hit the cap on my power without adding more storage tanks, but it seems that the e/sec is only adding 25 per block no matter what configuration I put them in. I've tried single lines, T-shapes, and just packing them in together.

      A couple small improvements to the UI.

      It would help if the player's window for navigation, weapons, etc., was configurable for size. As it stands now, when I look at the various undock options on the left side window, I can't tell which command undocks which ship/turret. This is because the text for each entry scrolls off the page...

      Turrets not showing up in weapons list?

      I've watched a dozen tutorials on youtube, and probably read as many in forums and the like. I can make the turret. I get into its ship core and test-fire the cannons/missiles, and then dock the turret to the turret docking unit. After that, I switch the BOBBY AI to "all," "turret," and...

      Exiting the ship core?

      Is there a way to exit the ship core without being teleported outside the ship? After practicing with ship design a bit, I've finally graduated to a ship large enough to have multiple decks and a "bridge" with the ship core. I like the idea of wandering my ship and going to the bridge to fly...
