      (Bigger stuff = better) => how this can actually NERF big ships.

      So... just make a big ship with a bunch of small guns... Still benefit from massive shields, have hundreds of lag inducing turrets. This doesn't "penalize" big ships, it repurposed them away from big guns.

      Video Series - Learn the basics of rails

      These are all spectacular videos! Glad that the speed cap is server set as well!

      If this is a personal game or server, you can use Admin commands to delete them. edit: http://starmadedock.net/threads/admin-commands.1283/ If you can select them, /destroy_entity should do the trick.

      I feel like we need cargo transfer technology next...

      Sure... but I could go either way. It might be good to be able to test with the current system and reign in a cargo setting that works with the findings. I mean, rails potentially bring us the capacity to build systems whereby cargo is ferried to a potential offloading beam that transfers...

      I feel like we need cargo transfer technology next...

      How else am I supposed to make a spinning planet drill if I can't transfer the items from my drill body to the core of the main ship?

      Supply and Dema- er, I mean Drain

      Well, you could hook a transfer computer to a clock and mount it facing forward and the AI will point at the closest enemy, so you could have an AI controlled turret (but it would be on all the time. :p)

      space engineers blocks (now with gattling guns :D)

      These doors look like they are easier to get in and out of than the Space Engineers doors. :p

      WIP - Craft recipe look up tool

      New update! I added factory information and cleaned up my items object a little. Next on the list? I want to add a "total items" link that gives a sum of all items needed to make something with a little popup to detail that. I'm still working on the format. I'm a little leery with the style...

      Finding out what builds what?

      http://starmadedock.net/threads/wip-craft-recipe-look-up-tool.4872/ I want to add the factory required to build each item, but Christmas got in the way of doing more. When I have a few minutes, I'll be adding that in.

      Quarry in Minecraft

      Whatever... I'd just throw a ship core down and a group of down firing beams and a group of side firing beams and let it eat into the planet. There'd be no need for push beams, structures, etc.

      Quarry in Minecraft

      Why build something planetside when you can just hover above and auto-mine it from orbit? I made a ship to do just that: http://starmadedock.net/threads/auto-miner.4755/

      Not only is the wiki in shambles but...

      Planet plates are randomized, but each plate will exclusively have one set of ore/crystal like the asteroids. As in, if you mine a single plate, it will have only one color of ore/crystal. Move to the next plate, however, and you could have a random new type to collect.

      How do I remove a planet?

      For anyone reading this far... If you destroy a planet core with a weapon, the plates will still exist, so if you want it totally expunged, you're going to have to deal with those as well. (It's pretty cool how it works, but I'll leave that up you you to find out.)

      Filter by availability in shops and some other shop ideas.

      I think a lot of the "away from game trading" could be simpler to allow the trade guild or other players to transfer the good for a set percentage of profit. If you want to sell 10000 ore to someone, you set up a trade order which th e trade guild or faction member would pick up. They fly to...

      Alternate lag friendly salvage methods?

      I have a mining ship that does strips along whatever automatically. It has a double row of beams and doesn't lag on my server. I even made it wider recently but haven't updated the blueprint yet. Just start it over a salvageable tile, hit the activation button and grab yourself a drink. You...

      Alternate lag friendly salvage methods?

      What are you mining that causes lag? Planets? Asteroids? Stations?

      Factories and Storage questions.

      If you want to use logic to automate the deactivation process be aware that the updates currently only work when storage transfers to another storage. If you put an OR block next to a storage it activates when that storage has any item in it. You can use this to shut off a factory when it...

      Build Mode in survival makes no sense

      Presentation is a huge part of conversation. If you come into a conversation with an aggressive tone, call everyone that doesn't agree with you a "fanboy drone", cheater, stupid, or nonsensical... You better be prepared to get the same in return. You started out somewhat OK, albeit harsh...
