personal weapons are already in

with the continued addition of new items, we should get a server-wide shop restock sometime so we don't have to import them via blueprint abuse

[Urist McScoopbeard]

what I'm really waiting for is NPCs... and maybe an ingame map. God how I would love to tell my crew to set a course for some distant star system, then take a walk around my ship and inspect my crew!

There is already a map just hit P then left shift.

[Shadowlord]

Yes, but it's practically useless. If you can figure out which way to go to reach something on it, you have a lot more patience than I do.

Unless something has secretly changed in an update since I last checked, there's no such thing as a  server-wide shop restock option. The only thing available is a single-target shop restock. Which is way I cheated in some Faction Permission Blocks in my single-player mode game and imported a ship surrounded in the things, because they seem useful, but not so useful that everyone should have to go to the far reaches of space to find a previously ungenned shop to get them.

It's not too terribly useful, though, since it doesn't display any coordinates and doesn't interact with the navigation system at all. It's mostly just good for looking at it and seeing that there are planets and space stations around you, and maybe if you spend some time figuring it out you might be able to discern where they are in relation to you.

Server updated and back up.

• In case a weapons computer is orientated to something other then the front it will now always shoot straight in that direction.

Neutral AI: neutral AI will no longer fire on factions that consider neutrals enemies (not a perfect solution)

Well... It's a start.

So I hexed the ship files a bit and managed to get a bunch of factory blocks onto a ship; flying, docking, and the like works like any other ship.

Is this frowned upon on the server? The cost has not been modified and includes the factory blocks as well.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Honestly that sounds awesome, can you do it with plex lifts?

OHGODPLEASEYES

[Blaze]

Well... yes, and no.

I managed to get a bunch of plexlifts on a small ship. They're there, and the "Activate Plexlift" option shows up, but the plexlift just won't work.

Maybe the plexlift won't work when they're docked, maybe I don't have enough power, or maybe something else; they just don't work.

From what I've read on the StarMade forums, I'm assuming it's less something you've done, and more something in the way that plexlifts are currently coded. I wonder though, would undeathinators work on ships, and if so, would they key to the sector it was activated in, or the undeathinator itself.

[Blaze]

Only one way to find out.

Edit: Undeathinators do indeed work on ships. They only key to where they were activated though.

I suppose you could bring it along on a dock and activate it every now and then.

[Mech#4]

I kind of assumed that if you added a plexlift to a moving object the lift platform that's spawned would appear where the lift was initially placed and not move with the platform, partly since they only move upwards on the Z axis.
