I'm really liking the implications here for other block type stacking. Shields and chargers perhaps, or reactors and storage tanks? I would think there are too many computers to stack them like this. They could probably stack them with their weapon type. That would eliminate computer clutter...

This is a decent idea. I've seen other games work this way. However I think it needs a maximum number of updates, or a maximum time threshold to trigger updates. Otherwise someone on a server clips the edge of a sector that hasn't been visited in a few months and then lag city.

Yes you could resort to that exploit. However, many of the interiors rely on switches, area detection, and directional gravity. None of witch you can experience from build mode.

Be aware that you won't be able to explore the inside of stations on the dev server. They are all faction locked. Probably to prevent grieffing of them. I'd sugest you download the import pack found here.

All of those are awesome, I especially like the hangar door, but Jath is right. A collision enabled server would turn any of those into so much space confetti.

To answer your second question the world manager appears to the right of the single player check box.

While I like the idea of fleet AI, it is not going to solve your balance problem by its self. Instead of one player verses ten, You'll have one player and nine drones V ten players and ninety drones.

That was the case at one time. I'm not sure at what point it was fixed. I just did a test and a ship that's nothing but shield blocks and chargers will draw power and charge it's shields.

Turrets, and other docked ships, will use their own power reserves first, then draw from the host ship. The reason they appear to show less than full capacity is a display issue. The percentage is calculated using their own current power reserve. but the maximum has the mother-ship's capacity...

Twelve reactors, now that's just beautiful. What are the dimensions on that thing without the extensions?

Is your ship docked? Ships that are docked seem to count the reserves of the mother ship / station as part of their maximum capacity for the display bar.

Jayman beat me to it but yea first thing I thought when I saw that was the Jetsons.

I suggest leaving at least a 3*3*2 clear area, with the core centered, in the direction that you want to spawn. Like so. WWW WC W WWW F F F W C W F F F Where C is the core, W is the wall it's set in, and F is the floor. Edit: Also it helps to auto align your ship before you...

Sounds like the same problem as listed here. http://starmadedock.net/threads/game-wont-start.1712/ Depending on your Os you might need to get the 64-bit version of java. Details on how are in the linked thread if you want to try that.

It would probably need a duration limit unless deliberately linked to a repeating clock. Otherwise you could accidentally turn them on and watch as your ship flies of into the black of space never to return.

The problem with that is that you can't dock a station, and you can't put factories on ships. Though I'm of the mind that it should be allowed. If your system can handle being close to planets you could build the factory on one face, and turrets on the surrounding faces. downside there is you...

All your enhancers need to be in one group. The docking block it's self will not link them together. Try moving your cross by one each direction so that the dock is not separating them.

I've noticed that randomly generated AI stations, and player created stations do not face the same direction. AI stations face +Z or "galactic north", the direction your ship lines up with when you press C. Player created stations face -X (east). Visually this is nearly meaningless as...

As orange hull did not exist when the recipes were made, they are not currently included in any of them. I suspect this will probably change with the crafting update, if the recipes still exist in their current state at all. In the mean time if you really need them to work you can insert them...

Since the change to liner dampening will not affect already existing servers could you tell us what the new default value is? Edit: Never mind moved the config file and let the game recreate it. For anyone else interested the relevant lines are. PHYSICS_LINEAR_DAMPING = 0.05 //how much object...
