I don't think you can re-dock with logic, but as for transporters, if they are within the same entity I don't think it does (haven't played with them yet though, got into other things while waiting for cargo update, but shall return with that)

Well, I can only think of possibilities that odds are you've checked, but I'll ask anyway; is the activation module activated and slaved to the speed module? perhaps you need mass enhancers, as being over mass will slow down the movement of rails (but you should get a warning for this)

Finally, a cure for *accidentally bops ship* *desperately deploys ship core and chases wayward ship before it gets too far away*

Shut off the power to the rails meaning? Speed to 0? or some logic magics to the rails?

Soon™ is the most reliable predictor

What you require is to have a rail docker on your shuttle, and a rail basic block on your main ship Both of these you'll notice have an arrow pattern, these arrows will align when you dock When you're on your ship, to initiate docking, you need to select the rail docker through the weapons tab...

I think to make this idea work, the outer layer needs to be regenerating yes, but to make sure that survives long enough to regenerate, it needs to have a bank of armor somewhere else to up the armor HP enough to allow sustained shots. Is it known if regenerating a blocks HP in this way can...

In order to get one of these plates to overheat however, you need to have broken the shield of the mothership, so odds are even if it didn't disappear after overheating, it wouldn't be much of a defense as the attacker obviously has enough firepower to break the most advantageous part of this design

I wouldn't say so, as breaking it up into pieces makes shielding and power boosted, but reduces your ability to withstand attack if your shields get broken as the armour plating on each piece don't sum together to protect the whole entity, so there would be a limit to how fine you can slice and...

Also, for power concerns, factory enhancers might as well be treated as an additional factory, five factories will draw the same amount of power as one factory with four slaved enhancers, as both of those groups produce five items per factory tick.

Well, you could design it so that all the docked components have 1M e/s regeneration, and pass most if not all back to the main ship, and then use the main ship to provide shielding which can regenerate in the order of 10M shield/s (easily) and it'd produce a ship that's pretty difficult to...

Since I didn't see it posted on this thread, Yes shipyards will be a thing, and they will be soon https://trello.com/b/9Kg5Jn6g/starmade-roadmap (Sooner than SoonTM) Not many details are released about how they may work, but there's a lot of suggestions which don't seem that bad (I at least...

But do not NPC shipyards have to be a thing to allow for early-game ship building? That seems to be a void in which there is little information on how it's going to be filled

Absolutely can have too many shield blocks (Rechargers mind you, not capacitors) Shield rechargers take 55 e/s in default configs I believe.

Unsure, I know that if you're within a certain distance (same sector I believe) you can pick them up on your nav screen, which also tells what type they are. This is probably much shorter range than you're wanting.

Precursor: I have modified vacuum resistance to be significantly lower, and max speed to be a bit higher on my games. This has lead to numerous times where I'll be building a ship, and say for instance try and dock a turret or undock a turret/other ship and accidentally turn too vigorously...

while not entirely random, this would be hard to predict the output, you could use rotator blocks of varying speeds to control the activation of buttons which you could save into a binary signal for your number output based on the rotation of another rotator block set differently to all of the...

Can scanners be activated by logic? If so, you could have a ship/satellite station that is designed around getting near instant scanning recharges and constantly pinging an area to prevent permanent cloaking in that particular area.

Mobility should be linked more to rail mass enhancers than the size of the turret. (Although last I knew they're still a bit buggy in that the mass of the barrel is squared and multiplied by the base instead of being added, or something like that)

Thoughts sparked by this thread It would be interesting to add this as a feature with a "credit locked" docking mechanism. Thoughts are, create someway that to undock a ship, you need to pay credits, that way it'd be easy to set up a ship sales yard, with pre-built ships locked on docking, and...
