Found a nice server, no lag and fairly low pop. Come check it out. Host OK'ed it.

As soon as I click on the exe file, I get the following message:

This registry refers to a nonexistent Java Runtime Environment installation or the runtime is corrupted. The system cannot find the path specified.

Have you tried redownloading it, and if java updated to the latest version?

Redownload to a different folder solved the issue. Yay.

Ugh, as much as I like this game I'm going to have to stop. The pirates keep raiding the place where I'm building my ships, and now I'm spending more time patching holes and buying new parts than actualy building. The latest raid has about five or so enemies, which is a little more than my specialy built fighter can handle. Cool game though, it'll be awesome to see where it gets to.

well, if pirates (npc I assume) are attacking you and you REALLY need to get stuff done, spawn in some shields!

[Neonivek]

Or just finish engines and power... and leave for another station.

On that note, how do shields work? Do I just slap them about the ship or make a big "shielding bay" to cover my entire ship, or do I have to space them evenly to cover each x by y blocks? Also, how do I connect my new AMCs to my current weapons array, and how do I make it so that it shoots a whole bunch of shots from different locations rather than one stupidly powerful shot from the first spot I placed it?

If you join the server I posted, look for the faction called MAGMACANNON in the faction menu. Then join it Thats going to be the B12 faction.

I don't know. I've stolen acquired two very nice ships on two of the major servers and have had a lot of fun with them. The one had some great cannons that, with a bit of modification, were capable of slicing a Battlestar Galactica v2 in half after about two minutes of firing, though an Enterprise B had shields too strong to penetrate.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

I believe shields have a certain radius, so you need to place multiple of them. Im not really sure, my ship has good armor (compared to damage done by silly pirates) so I havent used them as of yet.

They don't but when they are at less then 50% your ship takes damage.

So everyone agree? Is this the server that's going to be the main B12 server? If so, I'll add it to the original post and mention it in the thread title.

And so the accidental DDOS began.

Shield blocks protect the entire structure and don't get any benefits from being grouped, so they're perfect for filling up the gaps in your 5x5x5 power matrix.

To connect new AMCs, select the weapon controller block thingy and then press 'V' on all the new AMC blocks.
You need seperate groups of blocks to fire seperate beams, although they can be added to the same controlller block thingy. Grouped weapon blocks are always more effective than seperate blocks, but you might want to split them for aesthetics/coverage.

To make the beam from a group of weapons pop out of a specific block, press 'R' in front of it while in astronaut mode.

If you do not want pirate or other play to use ship blueprints got to the ship menu and uncheck them. As for protecting your ships when docked in a faction space station your ship be invincible as long as both the ship an the station have the same faction blocks.
