I wonder if anyone have built this beauty yet

Also, the latest update has made the game really hard. I have started over, and now pirate ships just wreck me. It turned AI into attacking when I provoked them or at least when I came close, but now when I enter the sector, they instantly lock on and [I]never[/I] miss. The can still aim perfectly if I'm behind something, despite not being able to even see me. I mean, when I'm on the other side of the planet, I can see damage numbers right where my core would be had it been on the other side.

I really, really want to. Unfortunately, I'm crap at making things like this.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;40394221]You know what would be handy? Something similar to a Zero Point Module, extremely rare/expensive but it has a hilarious power output.[/QUOTE]
Make it explode violently if it takes the slightest amount of damage.
Then force it so that there has to be an external exhaust port that will make the entire ship blow up if a single X-Wing manages to shoot a proton torpedo into it.

My first ship, vaguely based off a Starfury from Babylon 5. Now to build something bigger.
Just visited my first planet - i'm amazed, holy shit, this game is already better than minecraft :v:
So I'm now starting on my next ship, which is going to be a behemoth. So far I'm not even finished with the reactor (yes, only the reactor). Here's pics of what it looks like:

So far it's looking pretty good and generates about 300k/sec power and holds about 2.5mil power. It's not even nearly finished and yet I'm astounded by how much it can create.

And yes, I made the core room glowy blue.
I miss the hell out of my ludicrous sums of money and generators from my old save. It's brutal even trying to face enemies now, you just can't dodge them.
We're gonna need a new thread soon.
I'm going to try to make this as my first real ship:

I hope we get a relative perspective/gravity thing for players instead of just ships, eventually.
I want to be able to walk "upside down" on asteroids and in my ships and such.
oh god, so when you activate a gravity module its only for you, just had a friend floating around me while I was stuck to the floor

Really? That sucks. I thought the gravity module worked like planets, where if you're inside the ship you'd have gravity all the time.

I'd try, but I am building a massive salvage/carrier ship, and its fairly hard to do good organic looking shapes without making it as big as a planet

even with these shields i doubt i can survive some of the huge missiles i've seen
So I managed to crash myself by deleting the core on a ship that myself and another person were occupying at the same time.
And then I tried to join and some mishmash of Steam Overlay and StarMade made it so I connected but didn't actually join.
I had one of those regular missile launchers destroy like half a planet on my old save.

Just because he's building it doesn't mean you can't.
So how do factories work? Is there a way I can manufacture ship hulls from resources mined from asteroids?
Have people built a star destroyer yet
Hunhh, I froze out and everything got fucked up and eventually the game crashed when I tried to access a planet.
[QUOTE=PopLot;40395695]So how do factories work? Is there a way I can manufacture ship hulls from resources mined from asteroids?[/QUOTE]
You can, but from what I've seen on [url=http://www.star-made.org/wiki/Factory]the factory recipes[/url], 1 pluxtanium and 25 rock for 1 gray hull every 5 seconds, you're probably better off hunting pirates or buying hulls from various shops.
[editline]a[/editline]
Or salvage space stations. Thousands of free hulls, engines, glass and lights.
Also, it's really easy to fuck up a ship if you manage to land on it, I wrecked a pirate ship after I floated over to it by breaking all of the engine blocks.
What servers are everybody playing on?
Woo, screenshots!

The Pillar of Autumn. The front is a bit big, I think I'm going to scale that down. Detail will be added later, I'm just doing the frame now.

[b]MOTHER FUCKER. THE ENTIRE GODDAMN SHIP IS BACKWARDS.
SHIT.[/b]
How does one turn L1 ore into L2, and then L3, etc.

Couldn't you just put a cockpit at the other end facing the other way?

You'd think so but no, doesn't let you.
Whelp, that ship is fucked. God damnit, there goes 6 hours of work.
