ya, the last time i played i would save the blueprint with temporary thrusters, then spawn a bajillion turrets, then get in each one, fly it over and dock it to the ship, then remove the thrusters. super tedious

itll take some work and use of your brain, but once you get an automated factory system going itll be pretty easy to make whatever you need. and very satisfying that you build it and made it work.

still trying to figure this out. also really want to disable physics for asteroids because my miners run into them and have issues mining when the roids are moving. nevermind. fixed it. i was editing the server.cfg in steamapps/common/starmade instead of the one in appdata/roaming/starmade

i used to always change the server.cfg to set max build area in adv build mode from default 10 to 50. since the fleet update that has no effect, in the game its still 10 no matter what. is server.cfg obsolete?

i noticed this behavior as well when i was trying to attach pickup rails to a platform that is docked to the mother ship. the coords for the pickup point were 59,20,9. (in relation to the platform) but when i hit "carrier recall" the ship went to 59,20,9 in relation to the mother ship itself...

found a better way to do it. instead of moving the part towards the ship, move the SHIP!

proof of concept you could even take it a step further and activate the process by docking your ship in the first place. then the station equips it with whatever, then you take off.

what about getting it the entity close to where you want it, undock it so its just floating, then push beam so it contacts where you want it to dock.

im always leery to do it because i know theres always someone with a deathstar that'll just turn it to stardust in a shot or two.

ok, so apparently my registry account wasnt linked to my steam account and when i tried to login with the new launcher id hit "login" then the window would disappear and nothing would happen. i then linked my registry to my steam account and now it works.

is there an up to date list somewhere of exactly what the effects do (both as weapon effects or passive)?

dont even bother with overdrive. pierce used 10% of my ships power vs overdrive using 60%. and OD only did a tiny bit more damage. wow theres a lot more to it than i thought! thanks for the lesson.

thanks for the insight guys. i did find something interesting while testing hull vs adv. pierce does more damage to advanced armor than punch does. but they do equal damage to hull. i tested with a 60missile/60effect array. pierce is on the right, punch on the left. hull: advanced armor: id...

Am i missing something? whats the point of using advanced armor instead of hull? from what i can gather the block itself is only 3 1/3 times stronger but it weighs 5 times more and costs like FORTY times more. why not use 5 layers of hull? it'd weigh the same and cost WAY less. and the 5 hull...

That. Is. AWESOME!

Opening another factions plex/blast door that has a permission block will open the whole door, you just have to look at that specific part of the door that touches the P block when you hit R. Its kind of odd, but it does work

Maybe

The idea when I started this ship was a turret that spun AROUND the ship instead of needing multiple turrets to cover all directions. the turret gun itself is cannon/cannon/explosive. it'll take down an isanth in about 10-20 seconds. the ship also has a forward facing million+ dps...

What do you mean by a rack of turrets? Like a single stationary docked entity that has turrets docked to it?

i didnt know ANYTHING could orbit the system! i know planets and asteroid fields have orbital paths on the map, but as ive always seen, they dont actually orbit. maybe they tried to incorporate things orbiting the sun early in the games development and theres still something in the server.cfg...
