I recently got reinterested in the game and realized I lost all my ships when my hard drive went kaput. So, I decided to start simple and began with freighters and storage devices. Current models are in 3m^3, 5m^3, and 7m^3 models. I also have a fairly large freighter that I managed to assemble...

Possible methods of being able to control drone fleets could easily vary and possibly even be implemented together. Method 1: Full Autonomy This method would have the user (drone master) input a set of instructions in the AI and set what happens when the instructions are completed (loop, stop...

I would be okay with limiting it down to a 25-45 degree angle and keeping convergence. Any farther than that is a no from me.

I knew I missed something, thanks!

Err, those of you who hate the look of them, you know that they don't need to be attached to the actual docking port right? You can place them elsewhere and just "c" and "v" them together. Saves me room and hassle since I can usually fit submerge them in some power tanks or something. Makes...

Oops, I knew I had caused a kerfuffle after posting it. Oh well, I was thinking that you could install a mini system on each turret to keep it repaired and what not. Replace NREs as necessary. So not totally maintenance free but better than repairing each and every one. Yes turrets would be...

Repair beams are obsoleted by things that are as simple as taking out and replacing a block by right clicking. If they were revamped/buffed to make it so that you can more easily repair a ship then I and many others would use them more. Otherwise they are simply a feature and not a necessity...

I may have missed it, but is there a way to disable automatically watching threads that you posted in? It's just a small QOL thing that I would like. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Ships having the ability to be spawned out of thin air from shops makes repair beams obsolete. Not to say it was even that useful in the first place :| EDIT: I have a feeling OP might get this reference

I personally am happy that nobody selected the "what is a faction" option. Makes me feel like this community is more smarter than some of the forums I have seen.

My AMD Phenom/nVidia GTX 660 TI/8 gigs RAM is capable of running the game at well over 400 FPS even around large ships. Core usage is ~25% at the most but usually around~ 20% for normal everyday stuff.

I think AI using the beam things are in the works. Would be a great thing to have Dave and friends do so that it is not super abusable. But maybe beams should be optimized a bit, along with removing blocks in mass amounts (large salvagers).

Just reposting this from r/polandball so you guys can choose to go by tradition or by your methods. Its a really big image...

I leave for a few months and there was a war? I always miss out on the fun stuff :|

I core drilled it and then towed it back to my station where I salvaged or refitted it. Unless it was server laggingly big. Then I just destroy those and run some salvage beams over the valuable looking parts.

Since there is no/very little drag in space, mass and inertia should be a focus of thrusters. Acceleration in any direction should be harder for larger ships (more mass creating more inertia) and should require directional thrusters in order to move in that direction. But, rolling and turning...

Probably the best way to do it would be to divide it up into two sub forums (and another two sub-forums) -Game suggestions (the posts already in the section would have to be moved or deleted) -- mechanic (something brand new that does not currently exist) -- content (fancy stuff that relies on...

Although double layers are not always a bad idea, they are not necessary (1st picture is a fine). Lag is always a variable in anything that is done, so don't trust something like that to keep your core safe. Angle pieces are always a good addition to the outside and can make most ships look...

Thanks for the hints. I think I fixed it.

Is it too long? If so I can (try) to put it in spoilers. Don't want to have unruly posts under my name :|
