Is there any possible way to bring ships to a speed faster than 50?  Or is that an in-game limit, because no matter how many thrusters I add, it doesn't go any faster.

You can edit max speed. I think it's in a config file. Do a search on the official forums.

server.cfg is the file
You can edit the max speed, as well as linear & rotational dampening factors.

Edit: Change max speed to 20000, linear dampening to 0.01, and rotational dampening to 0. Get ready for high-speed Newtonian fun times.

Edit2: My latest craft:

And entirely over the top design. I started with the power core. It's that big cylinder around the craft. It consists of 4 independent cores, each of which spans the dimensions of the entire cylinder. Using that, it can easily power the entire craft, while both moving and firing. It has a central main cannon and 4 exterior guns. The central gun, in my current config of the weapon settings, has a range of over 800, 300 damage, 87 reload, and 68 speed. Exteriors are 147 damage at 520 range, 300 reload, and 30 speed.

It carved a large asteroid in half in about a minute.

Also this.

Interstellar vandalism

Going to give this a go when I get a chance between work this weekend. Based on the launcher, my biggest concern is that the developer might need somebody to help him write in English, which is so often a silent killer in indie titles.

I managed to kill a couple pirates, and wasn't even able to loot everything, but I still got over 600 L5 minerals, which sells for 1 million a piece.

Yea... forget about salvaging neutral stations, pirate loot is where the real OP is. But I guess that killing pirates is quite hard in the beggining, so at first I'd advise buying salvaging lasers and finding an ice planet, the ice crystals there sell for 500 piece and are quite abundant.

To think that when I first discovered that I could make a profit from buying minerals, separating them and making basic stuff from it in the particle press, I was so proud to get 10k credits in a few minutes... now this all seems like such a waste of time >_<

Hopefully the next versions will be a bit more fleshed out and balanced.

I've played this game for a bit and it seems it's a lot more finished than this thread leads you to believe... We really need to get a server up and start some interstellar battles soon!

Me thinks the real meat will come from player PVP faction in the game.

That's one reason i wanted a B12 server. Battles, without having to start on someone without warning/having someone start on you.

Yeah, the multiplayer in this I think is where the fun is. Granted, I've been having fun in singleplayer...but you can't really have any battles or anything. Hopefully someone here puts a server up for us.

A few good modders could make this game one hell of an interesting experience.

[GreatJustice]

A server would be awesome, but my experiences on multiplayer have been... a bit mixed.

They lag like all hell, crash out, and there are thousands of drifting space hulks cluttering up spawn. Furthermore, when you leave the game (whether it be from a crash or having to leave for a bit), you pop out of your ship. I left my super awesome ship once to go eat dinner, returned in 15 minutes, and found that it had (A) drifted a km away from my spawn position and (B) been largely decompiled for scrap by scavengers.

[alexandertnt]

I think a B12 server would be pretty good at not scrapping peoples ship randomly. Plus I think you can throw on a faction block to make it uneditable by anyone who is not part of that faction.

Does anybody know how to make a space station?

[Mrnocamera]

I can't download it.   Java, your being stupider then usual.

[jocan2003]

Does anybody know how to make a space station?

Shipcore and press B instead of X or is it M?

[ank]

I'll try all the buttons and report back!
(This could be famous last words)

Did anybody else get the bright idea to land on a planet with way too weak thrusters?
Had to strip down most of my ship to get off the damn thing!
