Alright, I logged in and reset the faction to non-asshole. Glloyd, you're also now a member of the first rank and have most permissions enabled.

Also, whoever made the blockade runner; that's awesome. I couldnt really admire it because this computer is crap and wants to catch on fire if I run the game too long. A few days and I'll have a connection on my personal desktop and I can actually have some fun.

Yay, Eric's almost back

Ah, the blockade runner was mine. I factioned it, but then the pods messed up, so I need to change their design. Which is why it's unfactioned right now. Also, yay! I'll be logging in again tonight finally.

EDIT: Noone's on right now. So lonely.

I have attempted to make that factory room seem as creepy as possible.  The strange omnipresent roaring sound, the feeling of being on a small white platform in a endless abyss of pitch black...  I also may or may not be breeding baby Grues in there.

Did I succeed?

I didn't see any Grues, but it might be that the young ones prefer to hide until they're big enough to swallow a person whole.

Hey guys, just wanted to say I won't be around much this week, as moving will be temporarily absorbing my life.  Hopefully I'll be back in few days to a week.

I made a corvette class ship, but felt that it didn't have enough Dakka.

Spoiler: So I gave it MOAR dakka (click to show/hide)

Did I mention I suck at turret design?

Solar Federation and GM seem to have a bug with eachother.  I keep sending peace offers but they don't seem to be received, and I'm not getting peace offers from Solar federation either.

Not sure whether to give it a day or two and see if it sorts itself out or what.

P.S. I have also recently discovered an old factory I forgot about that has apparently been cranking out thrusters for days.  I currently have a little over 1.5 million thrusters, the capability of turning 2 vappicide L1 into 22 thrusters, per cycle,(via a 2 step process) and more than 100 million vappicide. 

So I'm selling thrusters 99999 at a time for 50 credits each.  (which I think is some crazy fraction of the price) so if you need thrusters cheap, come and get them.

So I made a salvage ship with 300 different cannon groups, all consisting of 30 cannon blocks. I then proceeded to eat a planet within minutes. It was a good day.

Wasn't there some mention about an update causing weapons groups for which the computer is oriented in a direction other than straight forward actually firing the weapons group in the direction the computer is facing? Because then you could totally make a 400-meter-diameter ship, something like the warships in Independence Day, and have the entire bottom of the ship one gargantuan checkerboard of salvage beams.

Speaking of big ships, I am currently constructing a 300x250xsomething meter, oval-shaped titan of a ship, including docks for four enormous turrets on the top deck, and probably two more below. Pics of that tomorrow.

Yup. I was thinking about doing something like that with dumb missiles, and making a bomber.

[Kadzar]

I'd probably have to test it, but I bet you could make a pretty effective hit-and-run bomber if you used lock-on targeting missiles mounted on the sides, getting the lock on with your approach and firing as you pass them.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Not to mention a skirmish ship charging at a crowd softening everyone ahead with cannons before letting loose a cloud of heat-seekers as he passes them.

This looks very interesting..
I think I might download it now
