[QUOTE=Trekintosh;42560986]Is there any way to speed up the jetpack? I can't build with it moving as slow as it does, it's just painful.[/QUOTE]
You can do half of the old Descent trick where if you go forward and strafe at the same time it's a little bit faster but you can't combine it with strafing up for maximum speeds.
[QUOTE=Diago21;42560932]Wait, the alpha is out? Where can I get it?[/QUOTE]
They only put it out for three hours, at a time which prevented anyone in Australia, New Zealand, Burma, Paupa New Guinea, the Sea of Okhostk, Petropavlosk-Kamchatsky, The Marinaris Trench and reka Moma from getting it.
I wish the jetpack was a bit faster, you can't go without a ship when getting far enough from the station to do stuff.

[QUOTE=scratch (nl);42561429]I wish the jetpack was a bit faster, you can't go without a ship when getting far enough from the station to do stuff.[/QUOTE]I'm guessing it was set at that speed for survival; I and a few others on their forums have suggested faster jetpack speeds for creative.

[QUOTE=teh pirate;42560196]This game becomes ridiculously unresponsive and difficult to play with large vessels. The lag (~10 fps) would even be tolerable if it didn't sometimes outright refuse to consider input from my mouse and keyboard.[/QUOTE]If you're having serious hardware problems like no input, then you'll want to inform them on their forums. Bugs like that are what this early alpha release are meant to catch.

Nooooooooo..
[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;42561488]Hold down ctrl when placing blocks to place a line of them.[/QUOTE]
I meant to make more than one line of them. Like to create a whole cube of blocks or a plate or something. It would make filling the sides of larger ships in much easier.

I don't think so, yet. Those and mirroring along an axis are three must have things ASAP. Still this works really well for being an early earlyaccess.

Is that the games music or your own? Because it's most defiantly from Homeworld 2.
My first proper large ship, and me ramming it into the blue ship.

you can make really sweet hexagonal shapes using the 2 triangle pieces, I can't post pics now but I'll show it when I can. It isn't difficult to make it yourself anyway.

[QUOTE=Kaihong;42553979]I'm really annoyed that you can't bind Left CTRL for crouch... Anyone know a work around? I'm totally not a "C" for crouch kind of guy.[/QUOTE]
Go to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers
Open SpaceEngineers.cfg
find the string 7E7A219F1D21CA347B97407DF70BA277
A couple lines below that, replace "LeftControl" with "None" under the keyboard setting
Then find BC774DBAA28AB873797147F063002D70
And change "None" to "LeftControl" :v:
Have they ever said anything about (presumeably hostile) AI ships?
Occasional Raider attacks during survival mode and being able to salvage the husks of those ships for stuff would be amazing.
That or turning your world into a raider graveyard.
My latest big ship. I took some inspiration from the Naglfar in EVE.

I started this with the aim to create an asymmetrical ship, but now I'm tempted to make another 3 of these and just build a "fuck-off hueg" ship.

Not enough memory to create new block. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/AHaBAMb.png[/IMG][/QUOTE]I learnt the hard way that one should either delete everything else, or create large ships on a blank or survival world (easy start one at a minumum; 2's giant station is a memory sink).
Restarting does seem to give a temporary reprieve from that error.
I hope they'll add some kind of winching tool, so you can tow broken bits of ships around the place. Would be better than just attaching thrusters and a cockpit to floating bits of ship.

I hope they up the memory restriction then because that doesn't look very large at all.
[QUOTE=blazingfly;42563292]I hope they up the memory restriction then because that doesn't look very large at all.[/QUOTE]It's also a bit unclear as to what memory is being referred to. I'm guessing it's VRAM, as i've got 12GB RAM and there's no way it's sucking up that much. But then we have people on decrepit laptops building stuff on the more populated maps without any apparent issues.

Weird. Hm, don't laptops normally borrow RAM to use as vRAM? Which might explain how they can build larger stuff. Try enabling that, I know there's a control for that somewhere.
Also, this game guys.

This shit is too cool.
This game as a lot of potential.
I guess it really~ isn't worth buying just yet unless you have space autism, but I can't wait for more functionality.
I finished my first big ship, it's supposed to be a boarding vessel (by puncturing a hole in it's target)

It's the Turanic Raiders track from Mission 2 of Homeworld 1
So no, it's not from Homeworld 2.
I tried to make a cargo transporter with two large cargo holds
Ended up having to add its mass in engines and two large reactors, its ugly as sin :v:

If you keep thrusting the ships seem to be able to just cut through each other. :v:
Should I get it? I am considering getting it.
