Er, my brain was kinda cloudy at the time, didn't make say what exactly what was going on. The rules have been changed because of the recent server crash disaster. From now on, we're going to be trying to have a fight or two every day, with pilots being given a rating for matchmaking purposes...

Update: We're doing the fight at 10:00 GMT tomorrow (11/9)

Just give us a zoom-in function and I'll be happy. That'll be great for people with "normal" screen resolutions, or anything lower than the default. I want to be able to hit a target at maximum sniper cannon range if it's standing still. If it's moving, that's an entirely different issue - but...

Tournament postponed until an admin gets online and restarts the server (someone crashed a large salvager into a planet at full speed).

20x20? Bit small for a proper freighter, but I'll work with it. But then, I suppose anything big enough to be a proper freighter is also big enough to be full of guns. :u Think you could up that to a square 21x21? 19 width can fit through with decent piloting that way. Edit: Just make sure a...

Why to the headquarters? Why not to an outpost in an owned territory, with a core or astronaut size warpgate linking the storage area at the homebase to the shop, behind a factioned doorway or something? With the faction system in place as it is, I'd personally be a bit on the paranoid side...

May I recommend someone setting up a billboard for getting into the gate network at spawn? Just a cheap piece of crap with lights and display modules, really.

If you want to put it on Steam, do so when the full release hits, not just the beta, I'd say. It needs to be a complete game before the Steam userbase will be happy with it, and even then, they'll complain.

You're allowed to have up to four ships, and you have to dock them to the interior of the hangar. You can modify the hangar as per the instructions in the Display Modules next to the door to the core room. You should also have several copies of your own nametag in the hangar as well. Also...

Perhaps I am. I was thinking along the lines of how warp gates detect whether they're a closed loop or not.

It's still a form of multi-block collision detection between multiple ships. I suppose one could theoretically do it by making a closed loop of docking ring modules that projects a detection box outwards from the directional face, and has an ID assigned based on the shape of the loop. That way...

As much as I love the idea of having docking clamps, I imagine it'd be a bit difficult to code. Could just add an indicator of direction to the texture for the docking modules, and give them the same number of orientations as corner blocks, as a temporary method. Also: Vertical launch docking...

Salvage/Beam = Capital class mining ships no longer have to worry about crashing into planets Salvage/Missile = Don't need it to look like a brick to do a good job mining, but does need to be very close, and often results in not successfully salvaging every single block. Suddenly, different...

This does not only impact build blocks. This impacts all construction. Build blocks may have been disabled, but that's different from disabling advanced build mode for ships, which is exactly what you have done. Go, build a ship longer than 50 meters, and tell me what it feels like compared to...

A server thread's job is to inform the public about a given server. If vital information is intentionally left out, then it is the job of the rest of the posters to make it known.

The point I'm making is that it should be disclosed in full detail, not that it shouldn't be done. As it stands, the advertisement on this forum is earning a negative quantity of users.

That can mean anything. Generally, "Creative Mode" refers to build servers, which grant all players automatic admin and access to the give block commands. Artificial restrictions on creativity in an attempt to force players into exclusively using borg cubes seems like something that should be...
