Well then, fine. I guess I just enjoy language. English was a good second language to pick up, as it turns out. :^)
>>128714314
You only set the gun itself to the weapon group, the turret itself (the rotating base) has to also be manually set.
>>128716346

Mostly unenforcable in court, except for the arbitration clauses. Thanks, SCOTUS!
>>128716971
If the arbitration clause works, doesn't that mean you don't get to go to court?
>>128717107
It means you have an "independent" arbitrator, in a state well known for siding with the companies, handle your case. If you do win, the maximum payout is usually somewhere in the $100 range. No, I am not missing zeroes.
>>128717320
Well duh, the arbitrator isn't gonna shit on the guy who pays his bills.
More questions about ACCs in FTD.
First, what does the number of barrels do? Just decrease the gauge while increasing the rate of fire?
Second, I set my turret to group 1, but when I go to group 1, it won't let me control it.
>>128717778
Scrab the second question, >>128716670 answered it.
Now, I've got the ammo thingies for them, I've got them plugged into the controller, I've got the transfer block on the turret and the ship, but it keeps saying that there's no ammo. What now?
>>128717778
It can increase rate of fire because the other barrels can fire while the first is still cooling down.
As for the turret, you have to be close to control it yourself. If you have a Fire Control Computer, you can control weapons anywhere on the ship as long as you're close to the computer itself. Good idea to put it next to your chair
Man, I'm in the Discord chat for KSH right now, and the guy behind SESE is the most jaded, hardassed Alpha-Apologist keendrone I have ever fucking seen.

this nignog is literally the ONLY PERSON in that reddit thread defending keen over this recent clusterfuck.
He's getting downvoted by his fellow redditors because they are ANGRY.
ANGRY ABOUT KEEN.
It's actually starting to look like something that isn't a total spess dick-brick!
Though it's supposed to be a fucking CORVETTE.
I wonder how maneuverable it is since it's closer to spherical shape with CoM somewhere near the center.
>>128720681
>That build spacing
Holy hell man, what are you trying to do?
>>128717778
Each of the barrels has its own independent cooldown. This means that A: The cannon can fire as many shots as it has barrels at the rate of one shot per frame if you have at least that many autoloaders, and B: Effective cooldown is divided by the number of barrels. The downside is, of course, the smaller shells.
>>128721531
If you're referring to the hazard striped blocks, those marked the future corridor that would lead to the aneurysm-bridge. However after I decided to put the entrance to the rear, along with corridor, this space is going to be used for a gigantic generator+cap setup. I'm starting to think that I overdid this ship's systems a bit.
What went wrong with Spengies now?
>>128722467
Keen
>>128722348
So for a one gun patrol boat with a missile rack that's probably gonna be relegated to escort duty, a double barrel is alright?
Also, I have the ammo customizer, that linker block thing and everything that the guide says I need, but it's not actually firing, any idea why not?
Think it is really worth trying to contact Marek regarding the fucked up updates? He seemed legitimately unaware of and unhappy about the state of the game, maybe this is our chance to push him into making his team competent?
>>128723104
Double barrel should be fine, what's your shell size and shell setup?
You've assigned shells to the inputs?
How large are your autoloaders?
>>128723396
Uh I don't have it open right now, but iirc the shells are 80cm long, with... shaped charge, HE, fins and tracer.
My autoloader is 1m.

That should flow fine with the current slopes. I'd extend it downwards four or five meters by just duplicating the slopes below it, then curve it off with corner and inverted corner blocks.

Oh, I wasn't getting negative feedback. I'm being hailed as a hero of the ages for being the most kindly saint in history and making a female model, and sticking it to those big misogynists over at keen who didn't make one themselves(despite being pretty obvious why they don't).
>>128726347
Oh, yeah, I can see where that would get on nerves.
>(despite being pretty obvious why they don't).
Besides not being able to do anything right, I don't see why Keen wouldn't, at least eventually, add other character models.
FtD campagin spawn resource is now 12 Natural and 12 Metal, thank god for that, natural with scrap rarity was insane.
Also is the Irelan fortress now the default?
Because it's a fucking eyesore.
>>128722451
I mean the clusterfuckery of jamming essential ship blocks in one location. You get better capacity and regen capabilities by spacing out energy and shield blocks throughout your ship, not just cramming them into one section like that.

Apparently firing two 500mm cannons with relatively little recoil mitigation has, well, goddamn immense recoil. It shoved the entire thing back at 4 m/s.

So, FtD bros, this is the hull of my basic destroyer type. It's pretty narrow, as ships go.
It's decently stable without any real loading, but with turrets and such, it can capsize when turning hard, and the freeboard is a bit low for my tastes.
Any tips for designing a stable ship with high freeboard?
>>128730209
>this "corvette" already had way more energy than it could possibly utilize.MORE DAKKA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_stability
>>128730302
Kek.
But for real, my plan for that thing is to have that monster in the front, a smaller cannon in the back, then have some AA turrets on either side.When I make a full on battleship, I'm thinking three of those giant motherfuckers. In the front and in the back. With more, smaller cannons on the sides.And missiles.
>tfw might someday go back and make a ship for these turrets
>>128730818
I'll put more dakka on the cruiser. Diverse dakka too.
Actually, this thing looks lot more like a frigate than a corvette - 2 weapon and 2 mod "slots", whether corvette should have 1 weapon and 2 mod slots i.e. cannon+cannon+mod, all 1:1 with ratio.
>>128731983
When we get AI fleets, use those for new battleships. Then we produce enough ships to make every single /egg/man and admiral.

Also scavenging fleet to salvage shipwrecks and mine everything we can.Shipyards on ships fucking when?Elevators on ships when? I wanna see a Silly Drive-powered titan clanging enemies to death.
>>128731983
What game?
FtD: the front end of the ship should be nice and pointy without too many large flat angles to catch fire, but how ought the back of the ship be designed?
>>128734364
However you want if you're never going in reverse, much the same way as the front if you intend to back that aft up in a hurry.
>>128729801
I feel like this tip will be helpful for you, so I slaved over this diagram for many hours in Photoshop.
Basically, there's something I call the "center of recoil." It's a conceptual thing rather than something to be calculated, but it's useful to keep in mind. Basically, the high-recoil turrets should be behind the center of mass. Remember that that's not necessarily the big guns; I once neglected to place any recoil mitigation on the AA guns of a cruiser, so they were causing far more recoil at 400rpm than the main guns were at 20rpm, even though the force per shot was far lower.
Anyway, if the center of recoil is ahead of the center of mass (green circle in the pic), then the front of the ship is pushed away from the red enemy ship. If it's behind, then the front of the ship is pushed in the direction of the enemy. The idea is that you're using your guns as steering aids. This is especially important for casemate ships (think floating Vindicators)
I hope this wasn't so stupid that it was completely unhelpful or so pedantic that you've given up at this point and aren't even reading this sentence, but it's 2 in the morning right now and the parts of my brain governing language and the restraint of autism have clocked out for the weekend.
>>128734364
Round the edges so it doesn't look ugly, but flat so you can fit as many propellers on there as possible.
>>128733364
I mean at least give me the option to issue waypoint commands to groups of ships so I can fight things without being there.
>>128734146
Starmade. 2 blocks is about the height of a player character.
>>128734696
>Basically, the high-recoil turrets should be behind the center of mass.
If and only if you want the ship to turn towards the enemy when engaged. If you want it to turn away, by all means mount them to fore.
But yes, that's a rather important thing to consider when designing a ship.
>>128734680
I thought FtD didn't give a fuck how gracefully curved your boxy ass is when it comes to aerodynamics?
>>128735007
It does when you're going in reverse. Other than that, it doesn't give a shit as long as your fat aft isn't the widest part of the ship.
>>128735007
Make a box, put inside it an aerial AI, fuel, a chair and an engine. Put tailplanes on the back and some jet engines, along with two stubby little wings made of ailerons. Remember how fast it's going.
Now cover the front in slopes and check again how fast it's going. You should see a substantial gain in speed.
>>128734897
You can design your own weapons in starmade? Fugg
>>128733364
Oh is there a server that /vg/ plays on for StarMade? I got like at least 2 people who are looking to play again.

Sort of, its mostly just groups of blocks together will fire a weapon of whatever the weapon type is. But when you start combining weapon types is when shit gets fun.

>>128736362
what would an ion missile cannon look like
>>128736490
It's 15$ on steam
>>128736660
Rapid-firing dumb-fire missile launcher that deals most/all of the damage to shields.
Mite b gud actually for quickly taking down shields without damaging the ship itself.Ion Beam + Stopping/Energy drain Beam in logic setup seem really good for GOP STOP'ing and general annoyance.
>>128736660
>ion missile cannon
Youd get fast dumb firing rockets that do good damage against shields, but do piss poor damage to blocks/structure.
But you can totally customize the ratios in which you combine weapon blocks. You dont have to use 1:1:1 ratio to get 100% of everything all the time.
Ion converts regular damage into boosted shield damage.
Adding cannon increases reload time, but reduces damage.
You can mix and match those two modifiers attached to your missiles to get all sorts of super specific weapons.
>>128736992
Get the Demo version. Its the full game and its free until they come out of Alpha/Beta and decide its complete enough to remove/limit the demo version.

Unless you're a sick masochistic pervert, this shit ain't fun.
What IS fun is watching your carefully-designed ship blast the shit out of some dorko's artship that he brought to the battlefield in hopes of pointing and laughing at the "ugly" pieces of military and utilitarian art and winning the battle by making his opponent cry.Then it turns out that the retard didn't even saved his shit and it was the only copy on the serb which makes it so much more satisfying to read his assplosion in the chat.
About to give FtD a try. I've got a question though. Am I better off aiming to put lots of resources into single hyper capable vehicles or aiming for a diverse fleet with multiple roles?
>>128740185
Well, you can always try capturing enemy ships, so I guess you can kinda do whatever.
Granted, I've only watched Robbaz's videos of FtD so far, so I have no first-hand experience yet.
Alright StarCucks, I'm coming in hot
>>128740185
It's a question of risk versus reward. A single large ship is a lot less likely to get totaled, but if it does then you're fucked. It's also hard to get the resources early to make such a monster in the first place.
A fleet is more likely to take losses, but replacements come cheap and easy. You can also expand over time from the start.
I'm personally of the opinion that a few medium ships beats both a single giant and a swarm of gnats.
>>128711693
Ced, your 'official statements' are incredibly well-worded and a pleasure to read.
since in FtD you play as a robot wouldnt it make sense to make all your bases underwater if possible for maximum security?
>>128742597
Why do you have to be a robot for that? You have air pumps if you're human.
Although I am surprised to see less underwater bases, since rounds slow down a bunch in water. Maybe its because its harder to defend against torpedoes?
>>128740185
It really depends on the preference of the player really. A couple of people like me prefer to make ships for certain roles while others may prefer jack of all trades ones like the starting DWG campaign ship.
It's part of the fun.
>>128742762
i think flares still work underwater and the concept of an interceptor torpedo intrigues me
>>128742762
I thought it's because resource collection doesn't work underwater?
what do i do with all this excess natural resource if my vehicles are bottlenecked with metal and scrap
>>128743447
Use wood instead of metal/alloy for armour.
>>128743624
but i dun wanna maek botes with wood unless it uses sails and sails are awkward as fuck
dammit i need to design myself some airships or attack helicopters with this stuff
>>128743356
i dont know if thats true but if it was, your home base doesnt necessarily have to be on a resource node
>>128744040
Don't even bother. Unreliable as fuck.
Just use heliblades for lift and propulsion.
Requires no fuel, generates no heat and pretty reliable. The downside is that ambient temperature will not make you invisible to IRs, as well as still being a relatively easy target.
When are we going to be able to put turrets on turrets in FTD?
Is it just me or when you attach an aircraft to a surface fleet and tell the group to move somewhere the aircraft nosedives because it thinks all vehicles need to be at sea level?

>>128754184But the very idea of a space suit is liberatingly androgynous. Inside a space suit, we are all one; nothing but a human, until you talk on the comms.
Is there some way to keep my ships from sinking while under construction in the vehicle designer in From the Depths without having to build a small fortress first just to house a dock?
>>128756061Yeah, I totally agree. Honestly I was hoping when keen added the ability to remove helmets that there'd be a generic male and a generic female face, because that was all the differentiation the game needed.
They didnt, and I didnt care enough to do it myself.

It's incredibly fucking retarded on a development, political and marketing level, and only panders to the latest trend of liberal bullshit.
Sure, having the option between male and female is good in a protagonist driven game. KSP is neither protagonist driven nor does it have a player controlled character.
With spengies, Keen should have simply saved themselves the effort of making a helm-less character and just keep it on all the time. It would make the base model more 'iconic' yet still be all inclusive and workable. Adding a helm-less model just made more problems and took time away from >developing the >game

My current problem right now is that I think I made the guns for this lil patrol boat way too goddamn big, it keeps sinking.

Yea, added computer and salvage lazors, set them as slave and it worked. Some time. Then I tried to add cannon computer to increase firing speed and it didn't work, reverted everything to the previous state and I still could operate mining lasers from salvage computer, but not from the core. And In "t" salvage computer group didn't show up. And then I removed everything and assemble it again and it worked fine. Dunno what'v fcked up that time.
Hey guys, what happened...?
Everything is gone. All my ores, components, construction ships...
>>128768449
Normally the only time I've seen a computer not show up is when it gets slaved to a logic block, you might have somehow accidentally broken the connection between the core and the computer. If you have the problem again try selecting your core in build mode and slaving the computer to it.

You wont be able to pull large guns off on such a small craft as a general rule missiles(Or torpedoes) work better for small craft.If you really want a gun on that id recommend a small caliber AA or a deck gun with the guts of the gun placed in the hull and the firing piece contained in a small turret the gauge could probably be a 120-160mm single barrel.Also rethink that hind keel you should be able to work it out of the design it would gain you quite a bit of speed.If for some reason you cant handle the recoil or you face stability issues consider making it a trimaran it wont make the ship too costly and it doubles as armor.
>>128770476
the game is purely creative with little to no more depth than creating, perhaps you can make battlebots or such, but the game while clang-free it's quite in an early stage to be hyped for(didn't saw pistons yet, only suspension for example)
perhaps when we get a survival and more blocks we might try to make a community in it

In a way it doesn't. Stuff won't normally show up as if it's been slaved. Still I learned some interesting things while playing around with logic clocked jump drives. Stumbled onto it while fumbling around looking for a way to compare the charge levels of a drive connected to a regular clock and one connected to an overclocked logic clock.

Expert difficulty means a one in nine of spawning on easy. Somebody on easy WILL be fighting expert ships from time to time.
And the fact that they're glass cannons makes them easy for a skilled player to deal with, sure, but a beginning player is likely to have anemic offense and defense. Glass cannons are the worst thing to throw against a newbie because all they see is "Holy shit my stuff died fast".

Am I going to need to look into radiators for my engine designs later, or will venting exhaust out of turbochargers give me enough cooling to run my engines decently?

>>128803510
turns out, now
>>128808543
each have their advantages but better for cooling is the radiator no doubt, but you can always do science with the exhausts and see if combining gases causes more heat, making the exhausts more tasty for the ir missiles
or you can jut make some missiles with a flare or two fire when there is an enemy misssile close, put as many ejectors as possible in it and let them make the missiles go above your ship and get out their cone of vision with uses ammo, but it's more easy to tinker

to be honest the game is simple enough that you can just fuck around and get it eventually. There's only a few things - sequences, invisible parts and block pushing that take some getting used to. But the sample folder has a lot of robots that use these features you can reverse engineer anyway.
Some of us just use steam chat. Just ask if anyone in a server is from egg when you're there I guess.

I'm a submariner and am here to inform you that this is referred to as "flying by altitude" and is typically only done in extremely shallow water for obvious reasons. In fact it's entirely normal to now actually know your exact distance from the bottom.

It's very nice. Coming right out of StarMade I'm missing a few of the advanced build mode features from that game though. But at least the prefab function works in a sane manner unlike StarMade's copy paste.
>>128829449

You can always use prefabs to build shit in an open area, then move it to the inside of the ship.
"Middle mouse to select weapon group"
YEAH.
BECAUSE 'POPPING THEN WHOLE GUN OFF LIKE A CHAMPAGNE CORK' IS THE SAME AS SELECTING WEAPON GROUP.
Goddammit.
>>128830365
It clearly says middle mouse for perma build
Whatever that means
>tfw broken middle mouse button
>>128830493
Permabuild means that you automatically place a block when you move the cursor in keyboard mode. Permadelete means the cursor deletes what it touches in KB mode.
>>128830493
Nigger I know that. When I was hovering over the turret mount (to try and figure out why it wasn't rotating, the barrel only had like 5 degrees to rotate), it said "middle mouse to select weapon group."My MMB's been broken for a year or two, I just rebound it to M4.
>>128830586

>>128830689

I guess you should try it outside build mode next time
Its a bit weird how it overlaps like that
>>128830820
Mhh.
At least I know how to rebuild the turret. Luckily it wasn't making the ship tilt forward too much. If anything, it was tilting too far back, even with the turret.
Also, what sort of AI things do I need for a simple patrol/escort boat? And should I replace the anti-ship cannon with a small flak cannon?
And is there any real advantage to having belt fed autoloaders?
>>128829285
>>128829531
It's a flat.
Maybe you should try designing a ship in creative, saving the design and building it using a hologram projector in survival.
>>128824036
Is that a modified Mining Hauler?
>>128830950
You'll need a movement AI card, most likely naval.
You'll also likely want an aim point selection card so your ship shoots at the important bits, a patrol card so you can give orders in battle, and a target prioritization card so you can tell it what to shoot.

What's this I hear about a "graviton ram" for APS? I can't find anything in the shell options, is it something that happens automatically?
>>128832951
It fires every 4.57 seconds for a few rounds, then takes about 30 seconds to reload and start over.
It's still pretty stupid since it's got four guns.
But hey, it does capsize if it uses it's AA gun to fire to its sides.
How do I set the barrels on my ACCs to be staggered, /egg/? I don't want my flak cannon shooting all six barrels at once, I want then to fire in sequence.
Also, what's a good size for a flak cannon?
>>128834174
Adjust the RPM in the 'q' menu.
For flak, the magic number is a 11 meter blast radius.
>>128834305
Increase the RPM as high as I want, or decrease it?
And what size shell would you recommend for that? I was going with 40mm but should I buff it up?
>>128834305
Any reason for 11m?
Regarding AA, I usually just go with 1000m/s sabot, usually 40mm.
>>128834464
Set it to whatever your desired RPM is. For example, if you have a six-barrel gun with a cooldown of one second and sufficient loading to fire at cooldown rate, the RPM for sustained fire is 360. (60/1*6). The exact formula is (60/[time between shots per barrel]*[number of barrels]).
40mm is likely a bit small, I generally shoot for something in the 80-120 range for my flak guns.
>>128834749
Blast radius caps at 11 for everything you care about.

Barges are a thing.
Okay can someone explain to me why my turret isn't rotating? I've got the one axis turret mount set up to the proper group, but only the gun itself is rotating-and that has barely any arc.
Furthermore, what's the optimal rate of fire for a 6 barreled gun that has a cooldown of 0.55 seconds? No matter what I set it to, it seems like there's two seconds between each barrel firing.
>>128837835

>>128838352
Furthermore, does this look good for a patrol boat? Does it sit too low in the water?
>>128839150
It doesn't sit too low in the water, but the bow definitely needs to be raised.
>>128839550
Should I just bring it up to level with the deck that has the gun? I was going for the aesthetics.
>>128839150
Sitting very low in the water may be a good thing; shells can sometimes bounce off the surface and fly over the boat instead of hitting something important. You could even try to bait the enemy to miss like this by placing the AI, ammo and engines so they're always far enough underwater, preferably at some end of the ship, away from propulsion systems and turrets.
Control blocks, heli spinners and hydrofoils may be useful for automatically adjusting the boat's pitch and depth in case it's not too stable on its own.
>>128839637
I mean it looks shitty because it's pitched forwards.
>>128839872
That's because of the movements of the waves dipshit.
>>128773406

>>128837681

>>128839939
If it moves that much because of the tiny waves you have there, good luck hitting anything beyond 200 meters.

Nigga it's a patrol/escort boat with a flak cannon and missiles. It's meant to protect stuff from aircraft with its gun and use its missiles on ships.
>>128840489

>>128838670
>being undecisive cuck

There are some bad problems with LUA and multiplayer that I don't understand the details of.
But it seems to amount to "Don't use LUA modules in multiplayer, especially on missiles."
Regardless multiplayer isn't a feature that's been heavily developed at this point in time and understandably it's janky as shit as a result. I'm sure at some point Nick will get on it.

I don't even know what to do with all this space. I'll probably end up just filling it with dedicated helis for even more sanics, but I really feel like I'm missing something. I can't put broadside cannons in because they'd just end up shooting my oars off, and I already have resources, ammo and engines.
Right now armament only consists of two rapetastic fixed 333mm cannons, but I'll probably just end up adding some AA shit on the top deck and calling it good as far as weapons go.

>>128852834
Make the barrels longer than the oars?
>>128855894
>b-but my aesthetic!
It's not supposed to broadside anyway. It should just approach the enemy straight on, firing and ramming until it's dead, then move on to the next enemy. In any case, now that I've remembered lasers exist, a lot of that room will probably be engines.
Speaking of, I'm still trying to get high-efficiency engines. 240 energy per fuel or so is the highest I've gotten, and even that seems to guzzle fuel like Marek guzzles cum. Maybe I'm just still used to the superengines of days past.
I cannot seem to get vertical launch one turn IR missiles to work. They never seem to lock onto the enemy except around their max operating range.
So I just got intoRobocraftand Ilikeit.

>>128857948
Hovering is fun. You can go fast as fuck, and go right over shit on the ground everyone else has to drive around or jump over.
Just watch out for flak guns, since they will blow your asshole apart if you are hovering high in the air. If you see somebody shooting at you with flak just drop to the ground so you dont set off the flak explosions.
Flying is fun as fuck, but enemy meta builds(tesseracts), rails, and flak will fuck your shit up instantly.

Oh wait, so this is what flaks look like. good thing I have seen that in pubs only like once.
Now, another question is, a bunch of hornet lasers or plasma disruptors?
FtD /egg/ faction when?
Do I just have to learn to accept the overhangs?
>>128858358
Plasma and SMG are both good, but SMG can hurt things at all ranges because its LOL HITSCAN.
Dont try to lead targets with SMGs. Just point and shoot directly at your target. If they are far away just tap your fire button for more accurate shots. Go full auto when things get close.
Plasma are fun to use, but its hard as fuck to hit air targets with it, and theres also the problem of if you miss you have to wait until you reload before firing again, where as SMGs can fire nonstop. Plasmas also have this fucked up thing where their damage seems to be totally random. Sometimes they are taking huge chunks out of enemy bots with every shot. Sometimes they blow an enemy bot right in half with one shot. Sometimes they do hardly anything. Its really weird.
>>128859806
>Plasmas also have this fucked up thing where their damage seems to be totally random

>What's the fastest way to get levels? Use all the latest stuff to increase my robot's rank and then play the battle arena?
Fastest way to gain levels is to put as much higher tier shit on your bot as you can possibly fit to increase your robot ranking. Either that or buy some GC for real money and buy somebodys robot in the shop that will instantly bump you up to level 100. People have made super cheap bots specifically for that that only cost a few dollars.
Also Battle Arena is shit. I cant stand that mode. Shooting towers for 20min for minimal payout, and then getting spawn camped with a team that refuses to surrender. And if you quit a match you get punished with a wait timer before your next match for being a bad sport.
Play Team Death Match instead. Short matches, with much better payout. And if its a shitty match with a shitty team, who cares because it will be over in 2min anyways, instead of 15min like in battle arena.
Please post some Starmade ships
I need inspiration
>>128861232
Have some pics of things Ive made and will probably never finish because I keep starting new ships and never actually finish anything.
I dont know how well any of this shit would work in the current game.
I always tend to like making orky/spacepirate shit, but never go far enough with asymmetrical designs and things. I always end up too symmetrical.
But dat booty tho.
Heres a ship i never finished.
I built the skeleton, and started internals and made a sweet bridge. I eventually added some turrets, and then eventually thought of better ways to do some things and scrapped it.
Heres what I ended up makign next, which was a bigger verison of that previous ship I made.
I also ended up abandoning this, but I basically stopped playing Starmade after this because all the servers are basically ded.
Before I stopped playing though I added a retarded amount of dakka to it.
Guns, errywhere, and the ship was only like half done.
I really liked my giant laser.
How do you defend the gaps between your hull and the turret?
>>128862501
I think that ship has enough dakka
>FUCK BEING ABLE TO SEE WHATS ON OUR STARBOARD SIDE WE GOT A GIANT LASER
>>128862867
Can you fire those giant missiles?
>>128861015
Oh, I didn't think TDM actually granted more exp since it took less time and you generally did less. Thanks for clearing that up.
>>128862930
They are just for show unfortunatley. The actual missiles fire out of the tips of the fake missiles.
Currently in starmade bullets/lasers/missiles/etc dont seem to get larger as you make them more powerful, which is dumb, but I think they plan on adding it at some point last i heard.
Id love to fire off giant missiles at people.
>>128863074
I doest grant more XP per match. But since TDM amtches are over so fast, youll earn much more XP and money.
In the time it takes to finish an arena match, you can easily finish 3-4 TDM matches and make way more money and XP.
Heres a battleship style turret I was working on as well.
>>128859220
Aesthetics are inconsequential.
>>128731983
And this massive turret earlier in the thread is one I made too. It was way bigger than it had any right to be. But maybe I will actually use it one day.
Heres a screenshot of a base I was working on for a while. Its one of the stock bases in the game, but I added a massive turret on the top, a bunch of smaller turrets, and some "solar panels" that were just power reactors and capacitors to power the turrets.
>>128863364needs more dakka
>>128863440
But it'll be nicely streamlined, right?
I can get it to almost 10m/s with 8 large engines, turns oddly with the rudder all the way at the back, does the rudder need to be in water/outside?
>get a job
>suddenly FtD becomes a lot less appealing
Fuck I loved the game when I was unemployed but now I'm a wagecuck I just can't afford to spend 5 hours building a ship only to have it be destroyed by 20 seconds of combat against DWG and have to revise the design from scratch.
Does anyone else play it by just loading in ships that other people built?

Because it hasn't been done before, they succeeded last time on solid ground.
It is much safer to have shit landing at sea than above ground.
>>128870743
You mean a TEG.
Imagine the clang if there was a temperature and pressure system in Spengies, but goddamn I love the autism that is atmos. I'd like some kind of superstructure method of power generation though, a multi block setup for endgame power levels like a SME.
>>128871996
And the drone ship will be bobbing about, making it much harder to land.
And much more of a breakthrough if it succeeds.

Alright. All weird grids should become proper again. Log in, approach your grids, and they should put themselves back together.
I tested it on about a dozen grids that were fractured, they got back to how they shoulld be. It only seems to affect mobile grids, stations stay solid. Please log in and verify.
>>128876272
>everyone in this general is cautious
>>128874975
Watched it for a while and it confirms my thoughts: It's a creative building game with 4/10 eggs when it comes to engineering. Very little options, bare block selection. At the end of the day, the most important block is the controller and the most visually important block is the bearing. Performance seems to be rather shite, and I already play a game with shit performance.
Not impressed/10.
>>128876272
>no shilling

everybody here is hype for yet another early access game for 19 bucks!

no direct source, but:

so, "because we can"?
>>128876798
Because landing on water is more fuel efficient, than landing on ground. Also new Falcon is bigger and heavier than that one, which was previously landed on the land, what means, that landing on sea platform becoming even more efficient.
>>128876798
Because there's a lot more of sea than there is of land, and there is a much smaller chance of hitting something on the sea than on land.

Does it always take so fucking long to build something in Starmade? I started building maybe 1,5 hours ago and I'm not even done with the bridge
>>128880692
pretty much. I'm too lazy to starmade.
>>128880692
That's the reason why I can never get myself to play it for long. The building in it is fucking shit, and it doesn't help that nearly 100% of the time, you'll be building in the depressing vastness of space.
I like the mirroring in it, though. If you could set three independent XY/YZ/ZX mirrors in FTD, it would be the perfect building system. Although diagonal mirrors would be nice, too.
>>128878726
well, if it doesn't work, he doesn't get keys.
if it does work, I'll get a key for free and had to do nothing whatsoever.
So I'm not complaining.
>>128878272
Yes, because they really need to make it work.
>>128879430
Actually it is. The less booster need to burn to reach designated landing site on the ground - the less fuel it will need to carry -> less overall mass -> cheaper rocket. With landing on the sea platform booster don't need to be guided anywhere - landing platform will reach it by self.
>>128877534
>>128879430
>>128881205
realistically, none of that is the point.
The current launch and landing was intended to come down on land. They filed for permission to do so and it was rejected this time, so they reverted to the ocean landing. If you're landing in the ocean you don't need to go through red tape to do so, which considering said red tape can make or break the ability to attempt a landing, it makes good sense to circumvent that issue.
>>128881205
But that doesn't matter when all the boosters are the same size and reusable, and like I said the goal is to land everything at the "spaceport".
Landing at sea is just a waste of time
>>128880781
>>128880941

>>128883773
Ah thanks, got it working now. Now, how do I get the rate of fire to increase? I have six barrels all with a cooldown of 0.55 seconds, but even when set to, like, 360 RPM, it barely fires more than once every two seconds, I should be able to get somewhere around 1500 with six barrels right?
>>128884398
You can get 654 RPM with that level of cooling.
Do you have enough autoloading to sustain that RoF?
>>128884398
At that point it's reloading, not cooldown that is limiting your fire rate.
More autoloaders or belt feed autoloaders will fix your problem.
>>128884650
>>128884721
So should I design it with an autoloader for each barrel? Right now I only have one.
>>128884816
No you retard, you design it with enough autoloaders to sustain fire. Autoloaders aren't voodoo magic instant loading. Check the shell customizer to see how long it takes to load a shell.
>>128884995
H-hey, pls no bully.
My shell customizer says it takes 1.84 seconds to load, do I need two autoloaders in that case?
>>128883364
How is that clang?
>>128884398
Put the overclock on like 1 or 2
In my experience outrageous rpm is pretty useless because of the tiny gauge, it can barely destroy wood
>>128885218
It's more like "flump, drrr"
I don't think Clang is even possible because there doesn't seem to be a damage model implemented yet.
>>128885153
To sustain a rate of fire of 654 RPM, you will need
55 autoloaders with a clip attached to one face
OR
35 autoloaders with clips attached to two faces
OR
27 autoloaders with clips attached to three faces
OR
22 autoloaders with clips attached to four faces
Has anybody worked out whether it's more efficient to have a turret with two guns, or a single gun with twice as many components?
>>128885932
Yeesh. What would be a good sustained fire for a flak cannon, then? 360? 540?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivdKRJzl6y0
>>128885218
The "legs" are jamming themselves into the ground.
They aren't supposed to do that
>>128886002
Depends on how lethal you want it to be. If your shells are shorter than one meter, you could also try seven beltfed autoloaders. The wiki's information says that should provide the desired ROF, but I'm a bit skeptical.
>>128885993
Depends on the size of the guns. As size increases, doubling the number of components leads to less and less of an increase in RoF due to nonlinear scaling. As such, as size increases adding a second gun becomes a more desirable alternative to doubling size.
