We\'ve been quite busy, yes - it\'s all going to hell now, though, as they are gonna restart the server...
But that is only an opportunity to build things even better the second time! ( -also would be a great opportunity for you to join us from the start wink wink)
Don\'t worry about learning how to do stuff, Mike - we are all pretty new here. I myself started four days ago :D
Quick answer: When you launch the game and are in the menu where you select whether you want to play SP or MP, there are five or so options at the very top of the box. One of them is \"modding\" - you click that, and there is \"upload a custom skin\" or something of the kind. Tadaah!
And yes, stacking rockets together makes them awfully stronger than when you put them alone.
I absolutely understand you on this one - I, for example, wanted to make a ship with 2 lines of broadside cannons, rather small, but many of them.
Then I found that they pretty much sucked that way, and that they could only shoot straight in the direction of the core.
It\'s really shame, but perhaps it\'s better to give in to the game sometimes... Then again, I still prefer building ships I like over ships that would be useful in combat, so... :D
