Well glad you solved the issue :) have fun!

1. Hmmm. Orientation should not be an issue. Double check to make sure all the Cs are linked to the shipyard computer. 2. Okay I reread your original post. If a ship is docked to a shipyard you can repair the ship with the "repair ship using design" function. (Bottom center I believe) Select...

1. Make sure your shipyard is big enough. Sounds like it isn't. The Cs of the shipyard should surround the entire ship. If you can provide a screenshot I can help further. 2. The shipyard will pull 2500 blocks every couple of seconds. For larger ships you are looking at a few minutes. If you do...

Starting with the brigadier? Go big or go home I guess XD Why did you change the colors tho?

I think that dedicated freighters and couriers will always have a leg up on modular vessels. I've played around with the idea but the pods are easily detached in battle and left behind. Furthermore in order to make a pod durable enough you have to sacrifice a considerable amount of space. Space...

Maybe we could use this as a new thruster source. Have a pickup rail scoop them into your ship, have the interior be a "net" of pickup rails. When you need to get out of a fight fast release the ship and it will push you 8000m in a direction before being captured by the internal net.

I have actually had quite a bit of success with pulse weapons. I think people run into issues when they try to make it a primary weapon. This -as said by Panpiper- requires large build sacrifices. However Pulse really shines as a Secondary weapon on a destroyer. Having an array of 5 outputs of...

So basically a really big waffle missile cannon pierce doom cube. Man that sounds weird out of context.

I mean, if it is the design you want you can find the "outcasts" "scavengers" and "traders" (names might be wrong, might want to search for ship names like kukri or spade and then back peddle) folders in your starmade files and copy all the blueprints to your "blueprints" folder. Worked for me.

Not possible. You can build your own ships, create a fleet, and order them to defend a sector. All manually. Otherwise I believe you can make custom NPC factions that act like all other factions but I'm not sure how to do this.

Does the ship have a name or a class so that we can look up additional angles? Edit: or a Wikipedia page? Do you prefer a fully outfitted ship meant for pve or pvp? or a more historical one with multiple decks and such? Also about how big do you want it? Dimensions preferably.

The AI will only stay in range of the longest weapon on the ship. For example, if your pirates have long range missiles and regular range cannons they will stay out of range of the cannons but in range of long range missiles. This can give the appearance that they are entirely out of range...

I actually like the mining system quite a bit. It does need some fleshing out like making certain minerals more valuable (looking at you bastynn) and making resources worth fighting over but otherwise it's a great system. Does it need some work? Yes. Should we scrap it? No. Complicated? How so...

Initial Questions: These NPC factions can expand, what if any, measures will be taken to prevent them from colonizing the entire galaxy? Servers run 24/7 (in theory), players do not. I see these factions will be given large swaths of territory, and plans on letting solo players achieve a...

Yeah. If renaming is possible only claimed systems should be name able.

I can't speak for all servers. Just that Some PvP servers are more strict then others. A quick glance at the server rules or a quick chat with an admin can save you from having to restart on another server because you stole the wrong ship.

Depends on your server. Some let you get away with almost anything others will barely let you use the torch. I would be straight with people. Get a list of players who want a pc to attack them. Maybe a reasonable mass range. That way you don't have to worry about newbies or whiners complaining...

I concur, I am active on the NASS server right now and it seems like people have zero interest in a good fight. simply put there is no reason to expand, so people don't.

Well, agree to disagree I suppose. I will have to try this out though. Optimal or not it seems like an interesting idea. thanks for the polite discourse :)

Ah yes, can being the appropriate word. Furthermore -as you have demonstrated- they can be done quite well and look very pretty. However, my concern is that they are not optimal. The more mass a turret has, the more mass enchanters the main ship needs. Since these "turrets" need things like...
