      My Second Ship

      http://i.imgur.com/XCWWfBY.jpg After making a starter ship, I dove in and made this! The stats for the main ship aren't final because there's a ton of unused space inside still. The turrets are final though. I expect the ship to be at least 3,000 mass once filled. I also plan to experiment...

      Powerdrain Beam Stats?

      The patch notes say they\'re 5x more effective when used against a power block, and I\'ve discovered that wedges don\'t appear to block the beam. You can pass through wedges and hit power blocks this way. Perhaps this is what was causing the confusion? Also timing how long it takes to drain...

      Powerdrain Beam Fires Through Wedges

      There's no documentation on the Powerdrain Beam in-game or out of game, so I did some testing with a friend. I would shoot their ship with a certain number of linked beams, and they would say whether their power was draining. The ships in question contained mostly power generators. We noticed...

      Missiles Don't Fire Sideways

      I wanted to make BB-missiles that fired sideways at first, then turned to track a target in front of me. I set up some missile blocks sideways, but instead of firing in the direction of the missile blocks, they just fired straight forward out of the side of the missile block.

      Powerdrain Beam Stats?

      I'm looking to make a set of powerdrain beams of a particular size, but I don't know how powerful they are. Does anyone know the formula? It's really difficult to test it yourself due to inconsistencies in power ticks and power storage. Alternatively does anyone know how to check the game's...

      Cannot Dock Here! Target not compatible

      Whenever I undock a turret and try to redock I get this error message, even if I'm in nothing but a ship core. Once I get it it pretty much means that I have to scrap all the progress I've made on a turret because I won't be able to get it redocked anymore. What can I do to fix this?

      Turret Strategy

      I don\'t get it. When I fired a dumbfire missile from one of my turrets it just blew up the side of my own ship. How could that happen then? Also, do turrets require their own radar jammers or cloaking devices? Or do they use the parent ship\'s?

      So then what do you do to prevent them from blowing you up?

      Turret Strategy

      How do you keep your missile turrets from blowing you up? I tried firing a dumbfire missile from a turret and even though it seemed clear it still blew a hole in my ship and knocked another turret into space. My current design currently has 1 million e/sec, and is 6,000 blocks with the power...

      Turret Strategy

      What kinds of weapons work best with turrets? If my ship is very large, what weapons should I NOT use with turrets? Is there any reason to place turrets in particular spots on my ship?
