      Updated to latest client, can't find the Rails system blocks

      Rails should be under the General->Dock tabs in the shop but the shop will probably need to be restocked if you already found the shop before the update

      Door breacher and Invading ships IDEA!

      Damage pulse , damage beam, and cannon do not require a turret to fire unless on a station/planet. Firing a series of hi damage pulses is all it takes to sweep the inside of a ship clean of enemy astronauts as they cannot hide in build blocks or cores. Boarding at best only works if the pilots...

      Rail docker blocks can dock to rail dockers blocks.

      I am not sure I understand your problem Crimson-Artist you can put the rail docker currently on anywhere on any of the 6 faces of your ship while also allowing it to rotate it to point in 4 different directions. And if you build/ place the basic rail on a wall or ceiling or floor or pedestal...

      Artificial planet gravity

      It sounds like you are trying to recreate the oreo planets but using stations because if you were to use these on ships the possible problems would probably be exponentially larger than getting plex elevators to work on planets

      New AI - marker

      Missiles are a bit to annoyingly accurate as it is while we still use cores for the kill shot. Some have complained that AI lead with beams the same as cannons even though they are hit-scan weapons. Strategic use of nav filter should help some with that and if we get really lucky; they may...

      Salvage Beams: Use All Linked Storage

      It's been a while but I believe that storage sends out a logic or activation signal of some sort when it is full or not full you'll have to ask around for the setup

      Cool things that could be made with rails

      Its probably referring to the Mecha form the Aldnoah anime. Back to cool things on rails: If rails share shields at 100% with the object directly docked to it, and the docked core is still allowed to fire weapons, and if we use the rail turning system that Bench displayed on his Lambda...

      Newbie questions (very basic stuff)

      When you die( killed by pirate or suicide) or exit to desktop from game, log back in but do not spawn/respawn just let the game keep running and pray that the pirates get bored and go far away from your sector If you are alive and running around on the planet or hiding in a build block they...

      Radar jamming ship destroyed by hulk missile?

      Hence when working-> missiles have a lot of bugs that keep popping up being targeted by heat seekers while cloaked, being targeted on while jammed and cloaked, and AI lock-on while jammed pops up often enough something gets fixed and they break it again somewhere else later along the line.

      Radar jamming ship destroyed by hulk missile?

      Don't know if this still holds up ,but the AI is both less intelligent and smarter than you. As long as you are cloaked the AI used to not fire at you even if they knew you were there because you didn't use jamming. If you just used jamming and not cloak they could still see you ; read anecdote...

      I can't find my home on my planet.

      Make a giant x with dotted lines of lava or ice Make your giant tower out of a ship so you can dock/undock a ship without entering gravity also makes a nice space elevator teleporting between cores Make an asteroid belt or bridge off the planet

      Smart Jump Drive

      You are able to change your nav point at roughly any time or you may just travel in real space to the next few sectors or so to change your pathway a bit to avoid stars, pirate bases, etc.... Star systems are laid out in a grid, of the same size 16 sectors by 16 sectors, with stars at the...

      Smart Jump Drive

      Jump drives work in a straight line ,however, it does not have to be only travel on the x-axis or only travel on the y-axis or only travel on the z-axis . Distance per jump is limited to a certain number of sectors. Calculate the distance of jump target using the differences of your start and...

      Designing space ships and creativity questions.

      Realism is more or less based on the same things as common sense; the unspoken expectations, mechanics, and reasoning applied from one event and time which may in fact be completely inappropriate when used elsewhere. The rockets of modern use tend to favor rugged simplicity do to the already...

      Aren't you just using something similar to the defined area of a turret? There is the problem with why it would be worthwhile if you have an infinite oxygen supply in your helmet and if the suit doesn't have infinite oxygen you would quickly suffocate new players that are stranded with out a...
