      Can you add shields to stations?

      I concur. I have 11,000+ units of shielding on my station right now. It\'s good for a full minute of hammering by a pirate ship. That\'s more than enough time for me to drop what I\'m doing and scramble for my fighter to drive them off.

      Insufficient Power alarm on factory...

      Yep, that\'s what it was. Figured it out on my own, though. Now I have an absolute forest of power tanks growing alongside my generators. Turns out that the factory modules consume a TON of power during the processing cycle, and none the rest of the time. What happened was that I was consuming...

      Insufficient Power alarm on factory...

      I'm trying to start up a factory on a station, and I have part of it working. However, I'm hitting a point where I'm getting a flashing red text prompt over some of my factory input blocks saying, "Insufficient Power (0/100)" ((0/200) if I have an enhancer linked). I've set up a few powerplants...

      Increasing pirate and Trade Guild frequency?

      I did that, and that\'s when they disappeared.

      Increasing pirate and Trade Guild frequency?

      Aha, now that is something I need to try. Thanks for the tip!

      Increasing pirate and Trade Guild frequency?

      I'm pretty sure this has been asked before, but a search turned up nothing... When I first started playing, the pirates and Trade Guild would both appear at regular intervals, and would even come by whatever asteroid or station I was hanging out at. However, the last few hours of actual...

      Sleeper Bays

      I love this idea. I\'d put one on my ship in a heartbeat. It\'d be so dang useful! I agree with the \"low/no armor\" group. You\'re asleep. You\'re easy to kill. That way, a \"carrier\" could carry a LOT of pilots for flight crews. Also, once this is in place, how far of a jump is it to...

      Plant growth?

      I was just kicking around on an Alien Planet collecting y-holes and vines, heading away from the ship I had landed in. As I began to return to the previously picked over area near my landing site, I found that the area was now thick with y-holes and vines. Has anyone else seen this behavior...

      Scrap Option for ships...

      I'm sure a lot of people here have wanted to tear apart an old ship, but if they're really large, it can take a while. Therefor, is it possible to add a "Scrap" option to the Ship Core?

      Space station vs ship

      You need at least 40 cannon blocks linked to a single tip to start making any progress. Overclocking an Isanth IV MIGHT do the trick, but I haven\'t tried this yet. I usually custom make a \"blockbuster\" ship for the task. Be careful, though: there\'s a lot of loot at the bottom of the station...

      Particle Press tips?

      I'm just getting started with crafting, and I can't seem to get the particle press to start running. WHat's the trick to getting it to run? Also, I have a couple of factory blocks, but they keep flashing "Needs Power" at me. I'm on a station, so I know I have enough power. Any ideas as to...
