Starmade V3 - You cannot attach thrusters to planets. - Games

Found a nice planet by a shop. I'm gonna build my faction base now.

[QUOTE=mecaguy03;40522186]that moment when you realize you built your ship backwards[/QUOTE] Can't you change it? Or is that just certain blocks?

Managed to build my ship into the middle of an asteroid field and a group of pirates. Luckily the core is far enough away that they don't attack. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/7o9cR2Jh.jpg[/IMG]

Anybody else having trouble with Lifts? I somehow fucked one up, cause the platform won't go away. I had to transform it into a table.

The only space pirates that actually attack the cruise ships with other cruise ships.

Would be nice if pirates did not use ships that didn't have weapons or engines. Shouldn't be too hard to implement. [editline]4th May 2013[/editline] My ship survived a lot better than I had expected it would, being up against multiples of itself. The turret turned out to be bloody useless, the antimatter blasts would head everywhere except the target, and this'd worsen the closer I was. Had to chase it across a different sector when the docking module for it got blown off.

I can't seem to find pirates anywhere.

It also has enough space in the middle for another, smaller generator.

One guy would dock to his turret slot, forget he was still on docking beam, left click to test the weapons and end up floating away. :v:

[QUOTE=DigitalySane;40524883]Consider it a blessing if you're in a starter salvage ship, Anyway I just finished my ship and realized I built it backwards, now I'm foaming from the mouth because you can't rotate the ship core.[/QUOTE] I figured it out, I had deleted the default pirate ship so the game didn't spawn any. [editline]4th May 2013[/editline] I tried building a turret but it sucked at aiming, should I give turrets missiles instead of lasers?

Apparently cloaking is so freaking taxing that having nothing but 64 of the game's most efficient generators STILL isn't enough to sustain it. [editline]4th May 2013[/editline] Like, I created a ship of nothing but 64 generators and a cloaking module - no hull, no cockpit, no thrusters, just generators - and it's not sustaining. I have nearly 1.6mil regen.

I think they never meant for cloaking to be a permanent thing, but I'm not sure how short-lived it is right now with the horror stories of it's draining-ness. :v:

[QUOTE=Doom14;40525517]I think they never meant for cloaking to be a permanent thing, but I'm not sure how short-lived it is right now with the horror stories of it's draining-ness. :v:[/QUOTE] It drains all power almost instantly.

Okay, I found out what I've been doing wrong with all my generators. I've been talking to Calibiri in the chat and he explained how they work. Here's some pictures of the single most efficient generator in the game: [img]http://i.imgur.com/Cbnhs57.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/hgfax8o.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/189aDbm.jpg[/img] It's ratio is 3-to-1. The most efficient possible in the game.

It's safe to assume you literally cannot generate more energy per second with that setup considering it just so happens to be the max number a signed int can hold. Hell, you could probably make it smaller and still hit that number.

That particular design had 2.2billion regen approx. Schema used it to bugfix the game.

The number is in your second image. 2,147,483,647

Can you dock a turret on a turret? :v:

I love how at the start of V1 that if you had a massive like pretty much any of the ships from the last few pages you would get spammed with the Winner rating while now its all very normal :v:

The ridiculousness of shielding and power generators and the likes has thoroughly discouraged me from wanting to keep building much of anything.

Also going to dock turrets on it.

Anyway you can turn L1 blocks into L2 and whatnot? I have a factory setup.

Can't decide what type of front to put on the starship, halp. [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/34sgtcl.png[/IMG]

That fighter landing bay/pad/thing you showed in one of your other pictures was crazy good looking.

[QUOTE=smeismastger;40527083]Can't decide what type of front to put on the starship, halp. [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/34sgtcl.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Do your turrets not shoot through each other/your own ship? Even after it got supposedly fixed I still had the issue.
