Today's patch "fixed" it back into being a one way mirror on DX11 but added modding hooks to make two way windows. I think...

I'm inept when it comes to computers; could I convince one of you fine goongineers to take a look at my destroyer and mess around with some scripts for its mainframe? I'd like some useful displays around the command centre and engineering spaces, and maybe some basic stuff to automatically control various systems (especially the airlock). Bonus points if you can get something done with the launch, too. I've yet to figure out what to do with the primary weapons system, but I'm sure I'll get that sorted eventually.

Bonus points if you can get something done with the launch, too. I'll take a poke. For starters I've done a pass of eradicating some outdated and redundant mods (like the old version of the Azimuth Mega Mod) and consolidated one or two (the MWI weapons into the MWI Weapon Collection). You really should do a general pass of removing the excess mods too, as there's a lot of unnecessary bloat for a workshop item. To be honest I might fiddle with your ship design a little, but all you need to do if you want to reverse the changes is just go around copy/pasting the LCD text for the Configurable LCD script to your original version's displays.

Is there a reason ship/station based welders won't start blocks for blueprints? They have plenty of components supply and there's a block for it to attach to. my hand welder does it just fine.

Well I found a pirate base. They're pretty easy to spot as they have a beacon broadcasting "NO TRESSPASSERS". They'll also start spawning drones even when you're 20km away to try and hunt your rear end down. It gave me a chance to try a new toy made for the Avalon.  It's a long-range recon probe. This one's missing the rear thrusters and armor to match the front because I forgot to stock the Avalon with solar cells. But good enough for testing, as it has reactors and a battery.  Just gotta lock the Laser Antenna to one of the eight the Avalon has and-  Awaay it jumps!   Behold; an early, safe, fuzzy up-close look at the pirate base from 20km away (with a max range of 120km due to the Laser Antenna). There's cameras for all six directions, and the solar panels mean you can leave it sitting somewhere discretely for ages for future remote connection. There's also a warhead onboard and controls for the antenna for if you don't want anyone to ever know it was there...  As for the base itself;  There may have been some overkill.

Any news about the net code? This is the main thing that keeps me from diving in - I tried multiplayer before and got disenchanted with the game after getting flung into the space from the speeding ship. Also, how Medieval Engineers fare with multiplayer?

Isn't the netcode pointless without optimization?

Not necessarily. From what I understand, the current netcode is cruelly inefficient. Like, in a normal server set-up, you'd have the server tracking everything, with clients sending updates of what's around their client players, and the server keeping everyone else up to date as necessary. But in the current netcode, from what I understand, everybody talks to everybody at all times--which is to say, when you're off at your station, you're not only telling the Server that you're welding a block, but all ten other people at their stations are getting the same information... and you're not only receiving updates from the Server, but from the ten other players as well! Hopefully the netcode fix will make lag much less of an issue on MP DS setups, even without a rendering optimization pass.

Yeah, loaded up an old map after the patch and saw three pirate bases within 17km with plenty of red blips heading right for my undefended mining colony. I noped the gently caress out, ran straight into another pirate base with a jury rigged ramming ship and started taking it over bit by bit. Then decided to design myself a fighter in creative and left pirates on for the new map. They showed up after 20 minutes and blew the gently caress out of my half built ship. Including all the copy/pasted backups I scattered around. I hope someone makes a large drone carrier for the new pirates soon as they make things a fuckload of fun in the most terrifying way.

Lightning has struck twice, I found a double Raid Station on my server to pair with the double derelict I found earlier. Looks like the Scourge stations (UFO looking base) only have 2x gat turrets on each side of the disk for 4 total. They have something like 9000 ammo in the containers, so don't try to wait them out. I rushed in with my mining support ship with only 4 turrets and was able to capture the stations before they called reinforcements. I went in fast, so only 1 incisor or something came out to meet me before I ran in and clipped an antenna off with the nose of my ship. I don't actually know if disabling the antennas prevents reinforcements/drones from arriving, I just kind of assumed it from the patch notes. It seems a little easy to take over, my ship wasn't built for combat at all, just 4x gatling turrets for anti-meteor protection. Anyway, the loot in the cargo holds is amazing. Well beyond anything you get from the older NPC ships. Hundreds of every component and thousands of boxes of gat ammo and 500 missiles. If you don't completely destroy the 2 interior turrets, they seem to hold about ~1300 magazines each. Each stations cargo was more than 1 large ship large cargo containers worth of stuff, without having to salvage any of the built equipment. The 2 small reactors had about 20U each. I could go back later for thrusters and other high value stuff, but it's probably faster just to raid another station and get 500 more of everything. A "Scourge" station after capture.  One stations worth of cargo + some salvaged parts like the medbay and grav gen. Note that's 49,000 steel plate. For some reason it has a "~" in front of it, I don't know why.  After emptying both stations cargos I had filled 2 large containers and 20% of a 3rd.  I've seen "Raiding Outpost" beacons show up too, but I haven't been up close with one. Anyone got data on those? Is there other station types then outpost and station?

I've spotted one and done a cruise-past. Looks mostly like a Scourge station in your picture, but I haven't gone in for the kill and pillage yet. Also it's the No Tresspassers beacon/antenna (haven't gotta a look at which it is) that kills off Drone spawns. I've got a Raider base sitting 10km away from my Battleship's location and it's not pumping out drones anymore (went in for a pass at it with the cannons and had to jump back because it was flying a liiittle too directly at the station and not decelerating fast enough...)

Rhjamiz posted:It means "Approximately", as it is omitting the last three digits. I know it is for approximate, but it's not related to having too many digits. I played around with it and it's not related to how many digits are in the inventory. Here I've isolated the last plate in the stack and it still has the symbol. The stack of 75K plates in the container below doesn't have it. I move the odd plate from 1 container to the next, to my inventory, dropping it as a floating item and it keeps its symbol.   Here I compared it to a normal plate in my personal inventory and it looks like the odd one is almost 2 whole plates, but not quite. Anyone know why this happens? How does it spawn or manufacture approximate amounts of items? Normal Plate  Odd Plate  Guess I could disassemble the parasitic twin plate into iron to fix the issue. I think I'm cursed to find all the bugs this game can throw at me.

How does it spawn or manufacture approximate amounts of items? I'm pretty sure that all inventory items in the game have the quantity stored as a float in the code. So what you have there is about 1.98 steel plates, but now the game won't let you split the stack into 1 plate and .98 of a plate. Probably when it's dealing with components the inventory functions is sanity checked to integers for both interaction and display -- versus materials where you can always handle 0.05 of a platinum ingot or whatever. Definitely try disassembling it and see if it takes or if the assembler refuses to touch it! God knows how it happened, maybe damage? Floating point bug?

I had about 4 or 5 "~0" plates in the stack that when combined would make a few whole plates. Still had one ~0 left at the end. Off to the void with you...

Disposing of dangerous complex numbers by dumping them into space may violate local ordinances. Keep space clean!) Also also on a more serious note I wish you could disable the tool / hand bob in 1st person view, it's kinda out of control. I was experimenting with shooting various numbers of steel plates because of this topic, and carrying the gun in zero g is kinda nauseating.

It's the perfect defense. If the server is too laggy to play due to ~X items then I'm safe.  Sadly, I've realized the game actually suffers from a virtual Kessler effect. Too much space debris makes travel impossible due to collision detection lag. Good call on shooting it to scrap with the assault rifle. I now have enough mags to be wasteful thanks to pirate UFOs.

Now that skyboxes work with DX11, I'm trying to make mine look less like rear end. Unfortunately DX11 does some on-the-fly adjustment depending on skybox brightness, so all my uploads look like washed-out poo poo. Here are examples of the Caldari skybox as it is now and a new version: http://imgur.com/a/B0X2t That skybox got picked up by some popular servers and Youtubers, so it's got 32k subscribers. This makes me reluctant to make major changes to it. Should I leave it as it is and add a newer DX11 version as a different mod (which people might never find out about), or change this one and upload the old one as a new DX9 mod (which might piss people off)?
