This is awesome! Thank you! This regex allowed me to make more flexible entry commands for my logic core. With my old command towers, you had to type in the exact phrase to trigger any functions. So {SPOOL WARP COIL} would start your chain drive but "Turn warp drive on" would get you the "I...

Just a small update, working on some of the suggestions made here. The fuel tanks still need to be wedged and detailed, but I like where they're going so far. I also explored adding some additional depth to the interior of the engines. So far I've only added this to the central thruster though. :)

YAAASSS!!!!

So I spend an inordinate amount of my time pondering what interesting new things I can design in Starmade, and one thought just came to mind that I thought might be worth putting out there among our builders. Logic powered tutorials. Imagine this: You download a new mining ship from the dock...

That's why you set that gun up to fire ONLY if you have a fully charge jump drive, which triggers immediately afterwards. XD *Pirate ambush jumps the cruiser* *DEATHBLOOM OF MISSILEDOOM FIRES* *Cruiser warps away.* *Pirate raiders pray to their powerless gods while they get eaten alive...*

... (blink) "I'm not sure I followed any of that." XD

LoL. And yet you make an auxiliary ship thread?

Ah. Hmmm... That might be doable. I've got wedges forming 45 degree rifling in there right now, which might be hard to keep if I want to vary the interior thickness. I'll have to play around with it. I like the idea. I also LOVE the idea about the fuel tanks. That's a brilliant plan.

The best advice I can offer is to avoid thinking in terms of circuits and more in terms of individual block functions. If you can remember exactly what each logic block DOES, then you can reason out most practical functions for your ship. If you know you want the door to be open when the...

Seconded!

That would be a pretty simple addition. This Data Suite could also easily be expanded beyond 5 memory blocks. If you're willing to tinker, you can make this do all kinds of stuff!

When. You said 'make the walls thicker the further inside' did you mean the engines or the interior of the ship?

Thank you! :) These are the nicest ones I've ever designed by quite a large margin. I'm pretty happy with how they came out. Particularly the semi-natural variations in the colors of the thrusters. That was a happy accident.

I just wanted to stop here and say thank you for this piece. Your specific technology didn't end up in my design, but the things I learned from it, and the ideas it I spired helped me to make a programmable chain drive that will prevent me from overshooting my destination. All because your...

I just meant the RegEx + logic systems required to make your responsive dictionary of words.

IT'S ALIVE!!!! No seriously! I got the programmable chain warp drive to work!! It's HUGE, and probably expensive, but it totally works. The image above is a single cell. 25 of these are lined up to make a programmable warp drive. TAADAA! The front sensor detects the input, while the rear...

Upon review, this actually still had the same issue regarding longer jump sequences, since there's nothing to stop a computer from charging up again after it's discharged.

Nice!!

Okay, so I drew it all out on paper to review your idea. I found one problem. So the original sensor can already deactivate the charger upon hitting 95%, which is what your circuit would do, while ensuring that it could not be reactivated. The issue is that this would also prevent the manual...

I know such things are possible, but I haven't the faintest idea how to accomplish them. That takes a level of programming knowledge that I just don't have. LoL. Some of the other folks around here totally do though. Jaaskinal might know how to work something like that.
