Thank you everyone for the help! I've since flooded the fortress I was working on and now have a new one going up.

The controls are a bit unintuitive for me and the building seems a bit wonky at times, but the idea certainly intrigues me.

But I have to wonder why every sector I jump into is apparently empty. :L
EDIT: disregard, I'm being a nub. :p

Then I too, am being a nub. I jumped around for 10 minutes and only found one sector of wreckage and one of asteroids. Any exploration advice?

fly to the green dots that show up on your map. each one should be a system to explore.

also, is there any way to get more than 3 turrets on a ship, or are you locked to that number?

I only see a green dot when I land on top of it. All the other "stars" are just back ground images that throw me off.

How do you get more green dots to show up?

when you hit "m" to bring up the map, there should be green dots that fade in and out in your warp range. if you select one of those dots and jump to it, it should create a new sector to fly in.

if you hit an empty square to jump to, it creates an empty sector with nothing in it, or it does when I do it.

My piece of shit antivir detected a trojan in the bin folder, someone might want to double check that.

EDIT: the file is SpaceServer.exe
probably a false alarm, but I'd love a check from someone more experienced

The game apparently runs an internal server. Like minecraft.
SpaceServer.exe is the game's internal server exe. It, for some reason, requests internet access. Possibly for ease of multiplayer but what do I know?

Update!

The three turret limit is annoying! On the plus side, blowing other ships into pieces is pretty satisfying, if remarkably easy.

Also note: White stars NOT in the background have ships. The green stars that fade in and out have asteroids. As a general rule, the former seems to tend to be on top of the latter, so that helps.

I think whatever the hell I downloaded may be malicious... I can't find it anywhere after installing except the AppData folder.

I think the 3 turret maximum thing might be related to ship size? Biger ones are way to expensive for me to farm but ill give it a try for science.
