[QUOTE=NoDachi;43557751]yeah but then you get useless monstrosities like this [url]http://forums.keenswh.com/post/sol-corp-sovereign-mega-cannon-ship-turret-6715196[/url][/QUOTE] that's what happens when people try to make "practical" things without ever knowing what will actually be practical in MP [editline]16th January 2014[/editline] I especially laugh at the countless "look at my impenetrable armor solution, totally gonna own everyone in MP"
I mean you can probably theorize about somethings that would be practical. But its more like realizing that making a turret with 150 rocket launchers and 200 gyroscopes and weighs more than most large ships is not. Like I've tried to work out how cheaply resources wise I can make supposedly functional ships so I can quickly bang them out in MP and not rage quit every time it gets ganked. Like 270 ton large ship with only 2 gyros, one large engine and small reactors.
I won't even attempt making turrets before remote control gets added. And something that won't break the turret if the ship moves. [editline]16th January 2014[/editline] update when
[QUOTE=Kyle902;43557737][t]http://imgur.com/85FvgJU.jpg[/t] Well you can also shoot 5 million ton gold nuggets at ships and watch them disintegrate. Seriously that nugget is bigger then the ship[/QUOTE] Hell, even chunks that are 5 thousand kg will do some serious damage if they impact a ship.
I need more RAM, I keep sucking up 4.5Gb to support my ships and then my computer gets slower and slower. Even upon exiting the game the process remains alive and unkillable and using all my ram for a decent amount of time after. :v:
Updaaate... updaaaaate my nipples are tingling with anticipation [editline]16th January 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=blazingfly;43558495]I need more RAM, I keep sucking up 4.5Gb to support my ships and then my computer gets slower and slower. Even upon exiting the game the process remains alive and unkillable and using all my ram for a decent amount of time after. :v:[/QUOTE]That's unusual, it terminates almost immediately for me. Then again, i've not built anything large enough to suck up 4.5gb of memory, so perhaps it becomes slower to terminate at those kinds of RAM usages.
I can't imagine how laggy this game will handle on multiplayer servers. When they implement it, they need to make it have a way to render most of the map server-side rather than client and put all the pressure there. [editline]16th January 2014[/editline] Actually, I think the biggest priority to fix all this is a way to render less blocks than we are now. As it stands the game (I think) renders everything, making it take up a lot more resources with each block.

sweeeeeeeeeeet
I especially like how one can save a copy of the world to their own computer, allows me to work on things from MP back in SP; although i'm guessing it doesn't work the other way round yet.
its happening
T key now opens and closes doors, doors are fixed, multiplayer is in.

fp server pls
Anyone going to get an FP server started, just for a bit? I'm in northern Europe with rather meh upload speeds, but I could give it a try if anyone's interested.
so how do I go about connecting to a LAN server?
I'm guessing we'll need to use steam chat until they add in-game chat. EDIT: automerge deaded :c
Good time to get back into the game; I haven't been on in weeks. TIE fighter spam, ho!
Welp, guess it's time to buy this game. Incoming ships made for da [B]WAAAAAGH!!![/B]
I got an FP server up, it's simply called "FP server".
It's actually rather exciting to build inside a hollow asteroid while a full-blown war goes on outside. Same the server owner quit (presumably he lost the battle) before I could finish my fighter and join in. [editline]16th January 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=blorgyboy;43559215]I got an FP server up, it's simply called "FP server".[/QUOTE]I'm not seeing it on the list :c
So apparently games aren't getting removed from the server list or it takes a long time. Cause 4 people are in a game that I'm hosting... but not actually hosting.
Goddammit, I want to test multiplayer so bad and yet I also want to play on Devinity 2 server in Gmod ([URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1013221&page=23"]Dedicated server was set up recently[/URL]), FastDLing content. Hnnggg.... You won, Space Engineers. You won. Edit: Nevermind, can't join in any server :I
Can't seem to join anything. Just gets hung on joining world for ages
[QUOTE=darkrei9n;43559254]So apparently games aren't getting removed from the server list or it takes a long time. Cause 4 people are in a game that I'm hosting... but not actually hosting.[/QUOTE]Yeah, the server I was on up until a moment ago is still on the list.
Crap, I can't see any servers on the list. :(
[QUOTE=Mort and Charon;43559265]Can't seem to join anything.[/QUOTE]At this stage, it's a matter of luck to find a working server.
[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;43559268]Yeah, the server I was on up until a moment ago is still on the list.[/QUOTE] I just decided to host another game and got kicked from my own game because it said the server was shutting down.
I love how they added a hotswap system for changing hosts... I've got some friends I play with who live a few hours behind me, so it'll be great to be able to give them the server when I head off to bed. Fantastic job, SE crew! Super jazzed, super impressed. Also, thanks for the door toggle.
