Thanks for the info, but despite placing 20 times more enhancers than what I need on the main carrier, the system still runs slow. I also placed rail enhancers on the elevator platform, too, but to no effect. When I go into the systems panel, it only shows a mass enhancement of 50 and states...

I'm currently building a large carrier style vessel that will have platforms that raise smaller ships out of bays for launch. Given that the smaller ships are around 2K of mass, the platforms are moving very slow. I realize that I need to use mass rail enhancers, but have forgotten where I...

Phocian, TheSmelter, thank you both for your answer. I believe I understand it a little better now.

Yup. Looking forward to an ai fleet that holds formation and fights as a group. Then ships can have specific roles instead of having to be jacks of all trades.

I've been thinking about hosting a Starmade server and have been doing a little research. Problem is that I've never hosted a game server before, so this is all new to me. I see the pricing is laid out by GB per month, but am not sure Noe that factors in to the total monthly charge. Would...

My apologies for not applying credit where it is due. I remember from several months back when Crimson Artist posted a picture that simplified the logic behind the torpedo. As such, I thought it was his design and that the video on this thread was likely his, too.

I've built a torpedo based on Crimson Artist's logic, and it does produce a system that will ram enemy vessels. I tried to create a vehicle that could dock to a larger ship and then engage targets as soon as it was undocked. I experienced a problem where the AI onboard the torpedo kept ramming...

A word of caution on some of the lower ranked servers. Take a look at how long they've been around and their operational status. I can tell you that it is frustrating to work diligently on a base and ships, only have it all disappear when the server goes away. Also, with regard to what...

I redesigned my missile systems. Originally they were large blocks of the primary, slave and effect modules, essentially firing 1 missile. I broke these down and arranged them into clusters, resulting in 56 individual missiles per shot. Doing so shot the power consumption through the roof...

Has anyone tried to use Blender to modify blueprints?

I'm just uploading this to the page, as someone offered assistance to find out what might be wrong with one of the weapons systems. Of course, anyone that's interested in it is welcome to download it. It is incomplete, as there's still much work to do, but there's still a number of features...

I've uploaded the .sment file on the content page. It's listed under the title of Shogun Class Dreadnaught.

Maybe it does have to do with the explosive effect bleeding off, I can replace with overdrive and see how that affects it. Still, I did shoot missiles into a pirate station after boring a hole in it with cannons, still not the result I expected. I can do that later today when I get back to my...

I'm currently building a large ship and have outfitted it with a large missile system. I've slaved damage beams to the missile system and explosive effect, too. Everything is balanced for a 100% yield from the slaved modules. The details box informs me that the damage rates above 10 million...

We at Crazy Shadar’s Shipyard would like to know: Do you have a problem getting your cargo to your client? Maybe there’s a faction full of jerks between you and your customer, or you’re surrounded by a bunch of asshole pirates. Whatever the case may be, we have the solution for you, our new...

Interesting concept. Puts me in mind if the space diner towards the end of the movie Space Balls.

Good points, and I agree. Still, there are countermeasures that can be deployed for your station. * Place weapon platforms around your stations, armed with turrets. Granted you'll still have the AI issue, but your fire power has been increased, as has your range. * Add drone racks to your...

I'm cruising through the galaxy on one of the servers I play on and notice a ship in the middle of nowhere on my nav screen. I decided to investigate further and it turns out to be one of my ship designs I shared in the community content section. It just struck me as cool that someone else was...

I recall someone making a planetary miner and placing it in the community content section. It was automated , though it required to be set at a precise distance from the planet's surface. I found the ship. Look for CRARS - Gyro Miner in the community content section. I would post a link, but...

I've been there before, having to start over with next to nothing after encountering jacked-up pirates. It encouraged me to build underground bunkers on planets and designing lethal ships to counter the pirate threat. Enjoy the learning experience, it will mold you into a great ship designer.
