We're gonna have to get you on a lot of mods, but honestly I like the challenge of replicating them in vanilla. Glad some one else has the same ideas of faction roles. Not saying hard core role play, but yeah. Great minds think alike I guess.

Alright I can't take this poo poo anymore, and I've put it off for too long. Before I comb through my list of mods turning them off and on one at a time, reloading worlds, and looking up every mod again, does anyone know if a mods has the issue of making Large + Small Atmospheric Thrusters not appear on the G Menu and say they are not available for small ships? Asking to save myself some time and avoid posting my full list here in a block of spam.

Getting into space is easy if you add a speed limit mod, 110m/s makes it stupidly hard to get into space.

Question time. So if I do the Solar System start there will be no pirates to be found spawning anywhere? Especially on planets? If you do the easy earth start you get pirates nearby. Do they spawn randomly throughout the planet? Also importantly, is it a full star system as well or just earth? Finally, since Keen has disabled a lot of cargo ships and pirate things for the time being is there a mod out there that my buddy and I could add to incorporate some type of NPC threat?

The easy start base pirates aren't the same AI as the randomly encountered ships, heck I think it's just programming blocks set on auto to fly straight for your base. The mods still work, just not on any world you generate that has planets on it.

So if I wanted to setup some kind of game for him and I to play that had some kind of NPC threat what would you guys recommend? I take it that it's currently impossible to have an NPC threat on a planet outside of boring dogs and spiders?

I started a game, I think it was Solar System, and it had me sinking slowly toward a planet. From the moment I touched down until I gave up 20 minutes later and went back to Asteroids, the game kept spawning cyberhounds. Dozens of packs of them with 6-8 in each pack. Is that the normal spawn rate?

Ya, that seems to be the way it goes which is why it's probably best to turn them off. They don't add any real fun to the game and it's mostly frustration as they just randomly pop up and destroy your stuff. Especially annoying in the early parts of a game when you're just trying to get started.

And now they're all properly hooked up. Or at least have conveyors linking them to inside of the triple-layer armored hull  .   The big cannons are grouped in vertical "Rings" and the Heavy Defense Turrets are grouped by their respective sides this time (Up, down, port, starboard). Also actually named each of the major cannons with their location this time so you know which one you're trying to manually control instead of guessing randomly. The rest are just one big group per weapon type as generic automated defenses.

Build it up deck-by-deck with installed projectors. Just lift the respective Deck projector's vertical height to the top of the station's current peak and build away. I should also really go update it with Jump Drives and Hydrogen Thrusters for the landing engines.

pun pundit posted:How have you layered your armor? And have you tested it vs. various munitions? In one colossal three-layer brick throughout the length of the ship . The only thing getting in in one hit is either one of Eikester's nukes, which can be mitigated with secondary armor between decks and redundant conveyor lines (ie me being lazy and filling gaps between decks with more armor) or one of the BIG cannons in Rider's cannon pack, which is about the same.Not to mention you're up against a whole lot of CIWS fire on the way in and mass-fire saturation chewing up whatever tried to shoot it.

Patch time!quote:Summary Alsp some interior pics of my current build;  From the front of the ship facing back. This time there's an extra bit of armor on the sides of the multiple cargo bays (the original was just one big 9-container bay). There's two containers side-by-side behind where the forward staircase is (the tall structure with the pipes and blocks at the back)  There's also a central corridors down the middle of the ship instead of dividing the ship in thirds with two parallel corridors. The main body of the ship gets a nice wide one, the front end gets a narrow one due to limited space and I think it looks good as a general bowels-of-the-ship thing.

Anyone tried the Nanite Control Factory mod? Looks pretty badass and most of the Youtube vids I've seen show it to be a pretty stable and helpful setup. Plus apparently the author has fixed a lot of the bugs with it. Gonna download it later and give it a whirl. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=655922051 Edit: Also have yet ANOTHER question. The guys who use projectors as a form of damage repair template by projecting it from the ship/station onto the ship/station itself. How do they do that? How do you setup the projector to perfectly overlay the grid it's on? lilspooky fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Apr 15, 2016 |

It's a bit slow and the range is small, so I needed several to build a ship, but it's cool watching the ship build. You just adjust the projected blueprint so its overlapping the ship itself. It's easier if you bind all the projector adjustments to the cockpit control bar for external view and grind off an antenna or something to help see where the projection is. Make sure "Keep Projection" is toggled and turn off the projector till you need it.

Setting it to only show Buildable also helps once it's aligned properly for PC processing reasons. If you want to try messing with projectors, I've got a whole bunch of modular ships and vehicles you can poke at to get an idea of what to do with them. They're all now in a collection here for convenient searching too. I recommend the Kestrel or the Hummingbird Multipod.

lilspooky posted:Awesome, thank you sir! Important thing to note if you're going to make something with a self/auto-repair blueprint; make sure the version stored doesnt have the blueprint itself. It adds a much larger tax on the system when loading it into the game because it gets recursive. What I do is save a version with the projector empty, then save it again with the projector set up with the first iteration. Also if the merge blocks on my ship's pods fall of when welded on, set the ship-side merge blocks to "Share With All".
