Thanks, guys, I know I was too hasty here, I vow to return with a ship and gifs 100x better than this shambles! ;D

These are AMAZING. I can't even put it into words :o if you could make this I will be your slave for a year

Ahhhahaha, I just saw the other WH40k thread, I have some serious competition there ;D oh well, I have added the xml to 1st post anyways :p EDIT: Hmm apparently the file size of the .xml is too large! I can try to organize google drive or something later

Hello :) here is my first rough Imperium of Man inspired ship! Set out with no plan and that probably shows ;D It has a few fixed cannons just for aesthetic fun, I will have to remove those to cram all my actual guns on there when I use it later. (PS my colour pallet is pretty empty so far, had limited choice, and loading the ship in a creative galaxy seemed to miss a lot of the blocks) Thanks for looking! Will attach .xml if anybody wants it... but be warned integrity fields miss a lot of the little detail blocks... :-X

My only insight is that I can tell you that hasn't happened to me so far in 50 hours of play, don't let it kill the game for you! You could just jump to another sector :)

I've yet to try it but I've seen it said that they are handy for holding enemies close to you while you blow them apart with short-range high-power energy weapons etc.

I would imagine they share the mechanic with other wrecks and loot, unless there's a special rule for player wrecks and loot idk. Earlier today my ship was destroyed in a mass invasion fight which happened to be on the opposite corner of the galaxy to my start sector.. I was able to build a ship at the dockyard and chuck all my +hyperspace reach upgrades in and get back there in time all my stuff to still be there. I guess it took me around 20-30 minutes.

Dang, that's the record so far, 254k! :o you look like you were in need of some Naonite, too ;D

My fighters were attacking each other today and then they turned on the faction in the sector.. I crashed my ship at high speed when looking backwards and the fighters were still deployed and I was forced into controlling them. I exited to drone and started to build a new ship until they went haywire and made me hated in the sector and my build was destroyed... I was then stuck controlling fighters that I couldn't even kamikazi into anything. That was a rubbish hour :P

Nice ship design, man! I love the glow blocks made to look like the engines are on both sides, or are those guns on the back? I have put my guns on armour now on my new ship and they are protected by integrity fields, so I shouldn't lose turrets anymore (I hope!)

I thought this thread might have been about another type of salvage auto-fire chaos that I experience frequently - the turrets lock onto one piece of wreckage which may be several km's away from the one I want them to salvage. I either have to reload the galaxy or just follow the reticles around until it has finished and freed up again.

Oh yes! I now have a lot of shield and life is good. ;D One major problem though.. I keep losing turrets when I repair my ship in the build menu and I'm not sure why! I think it may be where the turrets are placed, slightly overlapping the diagonal edge they are mounted to which bugs and removes them when I repair.. will test. Thanks for the bumpers idea. Can I make bumpers to protect my guns at all or will the projectiles be blocked and just destroy the bumper?

Damn okay my asteroid was small-time I guess! I need to find a hidden mass asap. The trouble with the large asteroid was that by the time I had finished mining it, I had fought so many pirates and invasions off and repaired afterwards which ate all the ore I had just mined, doh ::)

Hi guys! As title says what is the largest mineral asteroid you've found so far? I am on my 3rd day playing so far and I found a 170,000 Titanium :o did not think to screenshot it so I have no proof! But I'm a noob so maybe that's not crazy ;D
