DO you know of any software that could be used for planning out a large structure, voxel by voxel?

[Kadzar]

Alright, so I just finished uploading an album of pictures from last night. A lot of cool things happened, like tanks and Eric's neutral station that he built into his home planet, but I just want to quickly highlight one thing:

Spoiler: I made a faction base! (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: I stupidly didn't think to make it a faction base until I was shot up twice by pirates, but I was able to fill in the gaps they made with purple rock, which added a nice bit of randomness to the build (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: The entire thing was made completely by hand, albeit I used mirroring and it is almost completely hollow (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: If you notice the name, it is eventually intended to become a huge wizardy tower (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: However, for now it simply serves as a good place to put some chests and an undeathinator (click to show/hide)

Okay, so it's really not all that great right now, but I'm just proud that I finally have a faction base of my own.

I just found a hilarious way to make some pretty OP small ships.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Weaponry consists of:
4x 315DMG Rapid-Fire AMCs
1x 365DMG D1000 Missile Launcher

Each "Bulkhead" has 100,000+ shields each. It costs a ton now due to the latest update correctly adding the price of docked objects, but still. It seems that they add ZERO mass to the ship itself so speed and maneuverability are completely unaffected. I could add some weaponry to it but eh...

Give it a try.

What's the best way to find unspoiled planets to make into my own faction base? Just go really far away?

[Blaze]

Pretty much yeah.

Really wish there was a way to make some kind of jumpgate or something.

[Micro102]

I think I'll continue playing this once they add something like life support systems, food, and personal weapons. Otherwise you just have a contest for who can make the biggest solid block of expensive materials. Which translates into who can make the ship that lags the server the most.

[Blaze]

Which translates into who can make the ship that lags the server the most.

That's actually fairly simple. Since docked objects ignore clipping rules, you can trap one docked object with other docked objects and undock it. Forcing the server to lag and possibly crash if the anti-clipping feature doesn't react fast enough; which is likely considering the now-undocked object eats up massive amounts of CPU power as well...

Don't actually do this please.

I have discovered that landing a huge ship onto a planet is a bad idea and lags everything to hell and back.

[Facekillz058]

Looking at a planet in general does that.

[Shadowlord]

I haven't noticed any lag looking at planets.

[Facekillz058]

I mean like, within the range which planets are actually rendered as tons of blocks.

[Glloyd]

Ahh, I updated, but the server isn't updated. Anyone know how to revert that?

You should have a zip backup in the folder.

Yeah, noticed that right after I posted...

Another question... I lost a few million credits buying stuff from the catalog, only to have it disappear upon buying. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

[Kadzar]

It is a known bug. Here is the solution.
