Space Engineers - Say goodbye to Starmade and Blockade runner. - Games

[QUOTE=Gnomical;45557144]Wish there was a toggle one for rotors. Press, it starts rotating, press, it stops.[/QUOTE] Set the braking torque to max, your desired RPM, then use the On/Off toggle, it's the best you can do right now

what i do is i have a throttle up button, throttle down button, and a stop throttle button. for instance, throttle up would make a rotor turn right, throttle down makes it turn left, vice versa depending on the axis.

[QUOTE=kopd;45554587]Okay, people. We can control thrusters and rotors with the toolbar now. Somebody needs to make this happen. [t]http://www.fireflyshipworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/serenity_render_background1.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] I doubt you can make working nacelles (with thrust) since the rotor connection is so flimsy it could just be decorative but we could always do that :v: I made an overly complicated mechanism for VTOL engines a few days ago but the paper mache pistons bug killed it, I'll have to check whether it works now

Does anybody else have a problem with building small ship cars? Everything goes fine until I add the artificial mass, and then it just bounces every few seconds for no reason even though there is no collision. Anybody know if I'm just adjusting something wrong?

It looks like a legit screenshot from EVE. I love it.

Holy fuck that's nice

Time to test out controlling blocks through the toolbar.... [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/37471571964911098/92FC71942EE31A92F0F616A9DB9B4A1E008ECA64/[/t] They need to add filters or a search system to this thing. I can't access the options for new stuff I add to my existing ships because there is so much shit already on it it as it fills up all the space on there already with interior lights, thrusters and doors that were placed before it.

[QUOTE=JesseR92;45560703]So I am guessing you can hotbar specific modules well my gun turret idea is still on track.[/QUOTE] If you can change the option for it through the Control Panel, you will be able to add that action to the toolbar. For example, you can increase or decrease the max height of the piston or you can increase or decrease the velocity (raise or lower) of it through adding each action to the toolbar.

[QUOTE=krail9;45560764]just make groups, they're always at the top[/QUOTE] That makes finding what I need in that menu a lot easier. Thank you.

Nice update, too bad gyro turrets are still more precise

Can confirm next update will be a big update for modders.

Wait, are turrets now manually controllable, too?

I tested out thrusters on rotors. It's not as bad as I thought, but it is entirely gimmicky. For one thing, the rotors are facing opposite directions, so you can't group them because moving both of them "up" means increasing rotation speed on one and decreasing on the other. Control is a pain. But putting the thrusters at angles so one is 45 degrees up and the other 45 down locks the ship into a spiral which is kind of nifty. Ruling: fun but otherwise pointless.

[sp]hopefully workshop mods soon fellow engineers, there's a "mod" filter in the workshop[/sp]

[QUOTE=darth-veger;45562827]Can confirm next update will be a big update for modders.[/QUOTE] this is what im really excited for.

Now that I have all the parts, I should hopefully get my new gaming rig assembled this weekend. With my new system I should actually have enough power to play and record at the same time. I'm not willing to spend any money on that, though. So, fraps? Something else?

getting pretty fed up with rockets arbitrarily exploding/colliding with your own ship

That's the first thing you're getting fed up with? SE is riddled with problems.

If anything, the worse thing is joining a server, then after download the map, WORLD IS CORRUPTED

[QUOTE=Kommodore;45566378]getting pretty fed up with rockets arbitrarily exploding/colliding with your own ship[/QUOTE] I talked about this issue with devs a couple of days ago, they simply don't have time to work on rockets ATM.

[QUOTE=damnatus;45566288]Hah just noticed it... You sure you didn't accitentally use mine as the inspiration? :v:[/QUOTE] I copied yours exactly actually :v: I saw it, sent it to a friend and was just, I NEED to make this. I'm not very creative lol

[QUOTE=damnatus;45566609]I talked about this issue with devs a couple of days ago, they simply don't have time to work on rockets ATM.[/QUOTE] Didn't a modder fix this somewhat by simply moving the rocket spawn point to right at the front of the launcher outside of the tubes?

did they invert the home/end rotation axis in the latest hotfix? it's driving me crazy

You're not supposed to control them as the sole commander of a ship, you can have other players worry about aiming up to 4 turrets for each menu bar setup and target enemy weak points manually. Though they do need to tie hotkeys to the menu buttons next.
