      Introducing The United Star Axis

      Nice. Mine is more of a cross between the original MCV and the amphibious APC from Tiberian Sun. I always loved the GDI units in those games.

      Introducing The United Star Axis

      Thanks man, Here's another goodie for you! This planetary mining unit is based on the M.C.V. from Command & Conquer. It has a salvager system and the ability to (theoretically) carry up to 10 passengers using astro-tech computers. I could do internal passengers but the unit would have no...

      Any tips on how to build space stations or asteroid bases?

      Recon huh? Either way, it looks nice from the view shown. You'd match well with me and some of the other smaller builders I've met. How cool would it be if a bunch of us got together and swarmed a server with thousands of "little guys" until the titan junkies begged us for mercy? (smiles...

      NPC Faction Update Video

      Macet ingot wedge. Awesome update. One little tweak I'd be interested in seeing would be to allow the capture of faction stations without them becoming decayed.

      Aux Power & Gigantism

      In the game's current state, better fleet controls would be the best option to counter giant-ism. The concept of crews, while a fun idea, has not been presented in such a way that would benefit players without becoming redundant or overly complex. More work and discussion on crews will be...

      Quick and Easy Picture Tutorial: Automatic Doors

      I'm aware of that. Position wasn't the problem. As I mentioned before, the sensor detects ANY change in the door's open/close state; which in turn generates a new signal and another change in state for yet another signal. Lather rinse and repeat.

      Quick and Easy Picture Tutorial: Automatic Doors

      - Area triggers don't seem affected by permission modules. I've had doors with no permission blocks attached and visitors walked right through them. - The new sensor block has some potential and I experimented with it for a bit but the sensor would detect the door's open state, then send...

      Any tips on how to build space stations or asteroid bases?

      I stand corrected. Must have been a Light vs Dark exclusive setting. Are you saying that you can take over a station and bypass the decayed effect by taking out the faction block?

      Any tips on how to build space stations or asteroid bases?

      I've done that before but I think Schine has recently (within the last 6 months) reduced the cost of a new station to 50,000 credits. Also, am I the only one who thinks it was a lousy idea to make pirate stations automatically decay after you neutralize them?

      Highlight a target without active turrets firing at it

      Yeah, I've actually been shot at repeatedly by people who leave their turrets set to "any". Blew up one of my construction mechs once. That got me thinking of a work-around. As such; while manual fire turrets are not officially implemented, there are ways to accomplish this kind of...

      Target Painting

      HIJACKED!!! Thread hijack hijinks aside, I like the idea. Maybe tie it into warhead guidance so torpedoes can focus on a specific target.

      Any crazy build ideas for the future?

      Ummm... excuse me?o_O I didn't quite catch that. Oh, I understand now. Wait a minute... It's "Mechas" not Mechs. If you're going to tell me it's wrong, don't be more wrong... :D

      Any tips on how to build space stations or asteroid bases?

      You can remove your faction block at any time and place it elsewhere without penalty. You will however, need to reclaim the system and set the base as faction home once again. Failure to do these things will cause you to waste resources by mining without a bonus and can lead to a very nasty...

      Aux Pwr on Stations

      The reasons why stations are under-powered are because they're immobile and because turret AI isn't very bright. Maybe we should increase the power softcap on stations/planets and change the passives to always-on to offset these weaknesses. Failing that, make the turret AI smarter than its...

      Any tips on how to build space stations or asteroid bases?

      For a space station: - Make a faction, use a faction block to apply homebase protection to your station then claim the system for your faction so you get the mining boost. - Add a plex undeathinator in case you get killed so you don't respawn half way across the galaxy away from your new base...
