For me, the Plasma Thruster (which I played with for the first time in the designer only very recently, and was astonished by the size of) and the Ball Turret make a degree of sense. The PT is a thing that's meant for big ships, to give them a cruising mode that doesn't require a massive...

The Safe Zone should probably have all the ores needed for T1 stuff. Including Charodium. That's sitting at a 'natural' price, not "hovering just above the NPC buyprice", and is the way the PvP-averse can make enough money to buy the things that aren't available in the safe zone, because people...

The people who came here expecting, against all given notice, a finished game, are clearing off. Maybe they'll come back if they saw anything that persuaded them to keep watching the game's progress. The people who came here expecting an alpha, "just to see what it's like", have cleared off...

I can confirm that it was my starter ship which I was using earlier in this thread to confirm that the Xponder fields were populated as expected. Sounds like a ship-specific bug; you might get a voucher for a replacement once you're back at F1 :)

Makes no difference to how wonky it is to code it as a real-time effect rather than calculating it when the ship's composition changes.

They're working on having the option of "chopping in" an existing ship to use as components for a new one. I guess there are a few wrinkles to it, like "what to do with bits that aren't used in the new one", that they have to decide where to go with. A "disassembly hall" that will (for a fee)...

As I said before "this is possible", look at my previous post with the link to the reddit thread. You set the Universal tool "Blueprint" tab to "fill blueprint" and let the blueprint pull the components you've pulled off and repaired with the repair tool back into position, and then you use the...

That'd be nearly as quick as one endo with a pickaxe (you can't just fly away and leave 'em running...). Yay. It's kinda proof-of-concept, but it's more proof that YOLOL (and the position-measuring setup) is just too, too, slow to make it practicable. However cool the work done on it is, and it...

You probably won't get much in the way of feedback from most bugs. Many will already be under investigation, others are just "in the triage queue" and the rest are just waiting to be attended to. But if what you're seeing is systematic, it might well get dealt with quickly. If no one reports it...

It's a good point. Makes personal stations distinctly less useful if you can't reliably keep your fleet there.

Have you put in a bug report with F1? If this is as bad as it sounds, that's the only way it's likely to get any betterer.

It's sufficiently wrong-headed programming that I felt it justified the expletive for once. :) Of course, it may not be the case, at all; I only have "third hand" accounts with no attribution, over in the Steam forums.

That's great news Lauri. Very glad indeed to hear it!

Completely fair point. It's deeply frustrating. Even if a partial refill cost the same as a full refill, it'd be better; I get that the system probably isn't set up to have variable amounts of needed ore based on the conditions pertaining at time of creation. If you want to refill a half-empty...

It looks, from discussions elsewhere that they're not joking when they say an enhancer projects a beam into the reactor setup. And that the calculations for that beam lag behind the moving reactor, once you get under way. Which is stupid. Why base it on a thing that has to be recalculated...

Well, those ducts don't look like they have bolts in them... Did you move or rotate the whole ship with bolts locked out? Won't be able to check my own setup til later, but has this happened to other designs? If it has, you may have found a bug. The "needs more bolts" message on a beam is a...

What would be the point of a PvE server though? There's literally nothing to do except mine, design and build. And you can do that perfectly well on the current server, as far as it goes, and it would be an incredibly frustrating experience on a "finished" PvE server where all the gas clouds...

You're talking like the basic building blocks are the only resources that will be in the finished game. They aren't. So probably not a good plan to go about drawing conclusions from just the current state of play, when you are either fully aware, or wilfully ignorant of the eventual intentions...

Piracy totally fits in the game. Pretty much everything you've said is wrong, because you're projecting. If you want law, you're going to have to support it. Either by helping the lawmen with their economy, or uphoding it yourself. There is no Annapolis. The safe zones are gamist constructs to...

Also: network continuity. WTB continuity tester for pipes and cables. Cables isn't so bad; you can jury-rig a continuity tester with a display once you have power in the loop, but you have to go into Test mode, and that shouldn't be necessary. But pipe networks are a bear to diagnose.
