So, wtf? That is the error my steel factory gives me, Yet "empty cargo 543721" is what I have, is there a maximum amount of the good a factory can store regardless of cargo size?

NEVERMIND!!! I AM AN IDIOT!!! There isn't a + because you have to TRAIN THE PILOTS YOU CAN'T JUST PUT IDIOTS IN THE SEAT LOLOL!!!

Well, that would be a twist on this. That 80% though isn't wasted, put mines in them, explore and find large asteroids, make mines, make major MULAH $$$$$. That said, other then that there is hardly any use for the rest of the galaxy outside that core as you said at this time. I think a continuation of the story to be able to block the xsotan from entering our galaxy would be even better!

I noticed when I removed my XSTN-k VI (AI artifact, Pilots and fighters) I was not able to set actual pilots to the fighters any longer (there is no + to add pilots) Is this a bug or is there something I need to do to get the + (add) pilots back? Yes, the artifact was completely removed from my ship.

Gyros work better then thrusters for any size ship except in THIS instance, where you have a very long thin object. Then you want directional thrusters on the VERY back and VERY front for pitch and yaw, then gyros wherever you want for roll. Gyros have the exact same effect no matter where they are placed, but when you have ships like star destroyers, you want directional thrusters as far from the center as possible, I prefer ships like borg cubes, easier to turn mass to mass over star destroyers 🙂

All of your 3 possible percentages are wrong. The yield will be the median average of all 5 lasers based off damage. The math is a bit difficult, but I will try to explain it. You have 5 lasers: 22dps 90% 20dps 87% 24dps 80% 18dps 85% 16dps 70% if you add up the DPS (22+20+24+18+16=100) Then you take each individual dps and divide the total by the individual so 22 dps would be 22/100 = .22 or 22%, then you multiply the efficiency by this number, so 22% of 90%, you get 19.8% Do that for all of them: 22dps 90% 19.8% 20dps 87% 17.4% 24dps 80% 19.2% 18dps 85% 15.3% 16dps 70% 11.2% Add them all up 82.9% is the final efficiency. This is assuming ALL lasers are hitting the asteroid for an EQUAL time (and in most cases it is close enough) And don't forget, there is always refinery tax, usually between 20% in the outer systems (YUCK) and .5% in the core, 20% reduces what you get from 82.9% to 66.3% while the 0.5% only takes it to 82.5, a very big difference. So TLDR, it is dps AND efficiency averaged out to get the actual % of ore off the rock.

I am having trouble on a private server with ingame mail. I am the only one that has this trouble that I know of, I can send mail to others, but I can't receive mail... I have had half a dozen players send me mail, none of it has gotten to me. At first I thought it might have been my name (123 at the time) but I changed that and reloged, I checked my game files, I restarted my computer, I changed my internet (logged in at work actually) still not getting mail. I am sure this is something to do with my side and not the server side or more people would be experiencing this. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance!

This is spread out between three systems and I have to move a few supplies between them... All so I don't have to search for anything to build Railguns :) lololol A few traders/shipyards to 'store' the finished goods and 'defend' the system and I only have to stop off at 2-3 places to collect :) Works great... Now... to get lighting turrets set up... !#$!@# you Google! Changed the public access before... changed it again, hopefully it sticks this time? lolol
