How do I do these things?

[Scottnov]

-------------------------------------------------

Hello everyone.

Nobody seems to help me on my problems that often, so I'm posting here.

Various questions:

How do I set up a turret?

How do I expand my docking station?

I cannot seem to defeat pirates, help.

How do I make ores refined?

How do you set up the other machines(I.E. Missles, Salvage cannon.

What is a good plan for a ship?

I will add more to this later.

I cannot join servers.

Thanks!

This is a lot of stuff, but here goes:

To set up a turret you need a turret docking station, a ship with nothing underneath the core, and two faction modules. One module to claim the station or planet you want to place the turret on, and the other on the ship that will become the turret. Once that\'s all in place you can board the turret ship and dock it to your base.

To expand docking stations, you need to have claimed the area for your faction (using a faction module), then enter build mode, place your docking module and hit C when looking at it to link the docking expansion modules you\'re going to place. Put expansion blocks outwards and away from the module (just experiment with it) to increase the size of the docking bay.

Need more firepower, shields and hull to kill pirates.

Refining ore is basically crafting. Place factory equipment, put in stuff, other stuff comes out. http://starmade.wikia.com/wiki/Crafting

Different weapon systems need to be linked, so for example with salvage cannons, you need to place a salvage control module, then select it in build mode (with C) and then you can place your salvage cannons. It works the same way for any weapon/beam type.

Experiment with ship design, that\'s the fun of this game!
