    I think there might be a "slight" bug, I am unable to open doors and forcefields while flying a core.

    Yeah, I'm getting this too. You can use the Wifi/hotbar logic blocks to get around it though, so long as you set up the doors as well.

    The docking beam of your ship core has lost its old functionality temporary, everything on it (besides the ability to dock, which is a server setting) should be back soon in the next hotfix or 2.

    Edit: last time I checked, its function will be separated on 2 mouse buttons now, left click would put signals to true/close doors and right would set signals to false/open doors (or vice versa).

    err ok guys I am having issues!

    so none of my ships can dock (thats ok the old docks are old) but I decided to build a new ship....a core and a rail docker and well, I can't dock. I get a message

    "Cannot use old docking and new docking systems together" but I am not I am using a core, a rail docker and a rail

    also, my previously deadly ship, can't even harm a pirate ship, it uses beam weapons, and they seem to need to sit on a target doing dmg to a block, over time

    ut the rail docker in the hotbar and fire it like a weapon, should sort the issue out

    nope, but I sort of worked it out I think, the station cannot have any old docking moduals in place. So for me to dock my ship I need to remove all the docking moduals from the 6 hangers and the 15 turrets.....

    but the weapons, grrr

    You can still have the old docks on it, but they cannot be used. Don't complain though, I know a few guys that would have to remove 100+ docks :D

    Does the thing you want to rail dock to have old docks in use? The whole entity can't have both systems.

    (and recipes will be added very soon, next hotfix)

    Guys, i managed to DOUBLE bobby AI my turrets! I can get both the barrel and base firing at the same time!

    But it looks pretty glitchy since the AI appears somewhat confused as how to attack but it works. wonder if this is a bug or a feature?

    I have managed to make 4 working independent barrels (4 bobby AI) on the same turret base. They work well enough until they decide to target multiple ships, then it goes wrong ^^

    The AI works but it's not exactly flawless, I assume we'll see some fixes about that soon since we already have another issue that causes turret + AI problems.

    Infinetly extendable turret chains are also awesome(although the AI is completely derpy about them)

    Will it soon be possible to link wirelessly the weapon computers & effects with the weapon blocks without having to put them on the "barrel" part of the turret?

    seems a little OP but as long as schema has no plans on nerfing it, its time to Bobby AI everything!

    Also I may have found another glitch. Turret axis docks can't be changed into any other rail dock and vise versa. was this a balance change since you could do this in the dev builds?
