Do you mean you want a rail that gradually accelerates fighters up to speed? Or do you mean a barrel-roll sort of roll?

Do they have enough energy to fire their weapons? Are the weapons computers pointed the direction you intend to fire? Are you sure that the Bobby AI blocks are activated? Are the targets in range?

If you have a counterargument to the points for good-looking and functional vessels that have been raised, then you have lost. If you can't successfully argue against (Come up with reasoned arguments about why a ship can't look good and yet function at the same time, or whatever it is you're...

Zektor, that clearly means that you've not got counters to the rest of the points raised against you. Since this should be regarded as a decent, logical debate, your case is clearly inferior. To be clear: You've lost AND gotten the answer you apparently started this thread for. The community...

Actually, I think that they're trying to say that they're the good parts of being bad (Freedom to kill things or something? I'm not entirely sure....), as opposed to the less-good parts of being bad, including, getting shot to pieces by everyone who isn't also evil.

No, but a builder who builds doomcubes is probably not going to enjoy the game, because every time they go fly somewhere, they realize that all they've ever built is a very large, Star Destroyer White (Most likely) space brick. With no purpose. Another appropriate way to say what Chckn said...

Really? Interesting.

If you don't want a super combat vehicle, don't make one. Build a small ship with interior and almost no weapons instead.

Just remember: The rail rotator is the master, the activation module the slave. Get it backwards and you'll undock your turrets. You only need one 45* rotator. Use the ability of ships to have 0 connections between pieces to place turret docks with this ghost ship, wherever you need a 45*...

But another problem: You have to go to that menu anyway, to reset turret orientations. If you don't, the turrets aren't going to work.

Depends---is that 100k mass ship the Death Star? If so, then yes, it will. Because a sphere has a higher ratio of volume/surface area. You must be stupid to think that decorative blocks and empty interior space used for RP purposes add significant mass. That 100k ship will have more (Mostly...

I've noticed that turrets don't always appear to be pointing at targets they're firing at. Minor glitch, probably.

Another note: A good measuring stick is: If the turret is meant to deal serious damage to combat vessels, can it take out an advanced armor block with armor HP still present? If not, then it might be a good idea to upsize a bit.

If you're worried about data, why on earth are you still watching a forum, where text, images, even whole videos can appear at random to drain your data?

See? Already mentioned it....in the first post where I explained my torpedoes to you.

Damage pulse, as I said, makes the AI get FAR CLOSER to the target. DP has a small range, so a torpedo guided by DP does most of the hard work for you---it'll use its 2.5 T/M ratio to get within 20 meters (Depending on sector size, of course) of a target, instead of several kilometers away...

Around 260 per group is correct on the larger turret. The beam-beam-ion is a prototype standardized turret. I'm going to be refitting it (Read: Build mode one-block-only delete-and-replace modules) to make any combination I need or want. The ion turret can rake a lot of shields off of a target...

Just start slapping blocks around. Find a simple geometric form you can build in SM (And put on most of your vessels). Heck, just use a common color scheme or something.

I think the first time I ever played with Legos I was around 6 years old. Got them for Christmas at my grandfather's. Opened the box there. Later, I tried to build the set at home. Oddly enough, there were fewer Legos in the box at home than there were at my grandfather's home. I wonder why...

Don't ever, ever use a cannon for torpedo guidance. Use a damage pulse, it'll drive the vessel to within 20 meters of the target's hull. Then a small push effect can easily take the target out, accurately. That said, I'm working on ultra-simplistic torpedoes to use in battle. All I have on a...
