Some questions
1) I like to make ships with doors so I can cover the ship core, obviously you should never expose it to enter your ship. Anyway, so I enter my ship, press R on the core to drive it, when im done driving I press R again and here is the problem, I appear outside of the ship. How can I make it so I appear inside the ship after im done flying it?
2) When you claim a space with the faction module, you are basically in god mode if you are inside it or it depends on the server configuration? Also is there a way to hide the fact the space is claimed?
If you zoom out a lot on the map (P) you can find every single claimed territories even if they are really far, or you need to explore it in person to see if its claimed? Because if you can see all claimed territories without visiting the place first it makes no sense, because claimed would basically be giving away your position way too easy.
3) Does it make sense to claim and put your spawn point and main base in a planet? I find the best thing to do is make a space station right next to a shop so you don't need to travel to a shop everytime you want to buy or sell. I would like to live inside a planet underground nicely hidden but the problem is I need to travel to a shop all the time so it's annoying. I feel like im better off making a space station next to a shop. What are the pros/cons?
4) Is "Camera" the new block for the old "Cockpit"?
5) Is it intended that you can hide the ends of your cannons (the cannon can shoot through the materials of your ship) or is this a bug?
Thats all for now, I havent played SM for a while so there is a lot of new blocks and stuff for me to learn, it's a big overwheelming. I hope total newbies don't get too overwheelmed with it. I still don't get the crafting method, it seems not very intuitive to me. There should be squares where you put things you want to craft, then separate squares that give you the resultant item. Right now its all mixed and its kind of a mess. Also there should be a "craft" button and some sounds and not just a bar that moves at the same speed at the time. I guess this will get more work in future releases. I also miss a lot of sounds like the a sound for the salvaging cannon, misiles, a sound when you are traveling at top speed (like rumble for the motors) whatever. I guess these details will get in the next releases.
