      Do I need faction blocks for turrets?

      I've noticed that when you dock anything without a faction block to a faction-blocked entity, it becomes faction property. Does that mean that I can build my AMS and defense turrets without faction blocks? Will they shoot at eachother without faction blocks? And will the AMS shoot down friendly...

      Easier way to dock rails (maybe creative mode only?)

      The idea is that you select a rail using C, admin load the blueprint you want to be docked, and it spawns docked to whatever rail you selected.

      Red standard armor dissapearing on placement?

      For some reason I can't use red standard armor in single player creative. The only way I can get it is through loaded blueprints. I can't place it using templates, area build, normal build, not in build mode, etc. It disappears upon being placed. Is there reason for this?

      A loose collection of ideas of how to make starmade's ship systems interesting

      NOTE: These ideas were thought up out of random and may have holes or seem too simple. This thread is up to discussion and interpretation of adding or removing some details, or changing them to make them interesting, simple, efficient, and/or easy to code in. I will be putting any other...

      Limit on station size?

      In singleplayer I'm trying to make a big shipyard for my next project. The problem is that the symmetry only goes so far, around 150-200 blocks or so. Where it ends I can't place anymore blocks. What's the reason for this?

      Question: Why are heatseekers still the way they are?

      Seriously. Has this game been around for maybe 2-3 years? And heatseekers literally target anything that isn't you to this day. Why? Is there any specific reason for this? I know Schine is working really hard on optimization and bug fixes and new content but could they atleast take a few seconds...

      Solar's average shipyard! (SCIENCE IN PROGRESS)

      How do you guys shape your ships?

      I'm about to work on another ship which is going to be bigger than the YC-10 DD, and I was thinking. The transition of shapes throughout the YC-10 was okay. Not the best, but okay. Anyway, the new ship that I'm working on is going to be similar to Nuclear Fun's ship shape: a big rectangle with a...

      Bug Ship blueprint damage?

      So I was working on a ship and I saved it around half an hour before some pirates attacked. I moved away from the sector and admin loaded it, but it came out with all of the battle damage. Is there any way I can fix this?

      Is there a way to get a drone to use all of its weapons?

      So the server that I play on is down for migration to professional hosting. I went into single player, took a bunch of my ships, made them drones, and had them seige stations. Now one of my ships has 4 sniper missles, 2 anti shield beams, and one cannon-cannon double barrel setup. When I spawned...

      how do you guys make your ships look good and function well?

      There are plenty of threads of effectiveness but not really about building plans or simple details. How do you guys decorate ships inside and outside?

      I'm new to the game. How do weapon systems work?

      I just soloed my first pirate station (the round one with the weak turrets) with a missile/missile setup and although I'm happy, I'm still a bit confused on how the weapon systems work.
