How do I increase the rate of fire of my cannons so they don't shoot painfully slowly?

[Shadowlord]

IIRC, Hook another AMC computer to them, with a sufficient number of AMC blocks in it? Mind you, I could be wrong since it's been months since I played and I didn't actually look this up.

Things have changed and the wiki's haven't. New info is hard to find.

[Eric Blank]

Shadowlord is correct. Connect a second AMC (called just "cannon" now) computer up to the first and link cannon blocks to that secondary computer. You can link the computers in the weapons control panel ('t') or in build mode by selecting the primary computer and linking the secondary to it with 'v'. If you have 100% coverage (5 blocks on the primary and 5 on the secondary, so the ratio is 1:1) your weapon will fire 10 shots/second.

I found a chart that shows the normal connections between weapons computers here:

Never used a pulse computer for a primary weapon, but the other systems seem to work fine a few weeks ago.

DPS is supposed to be the same -  dependent on the number of blocks in the primary weapon array + its secondary computer and system (if any) + its effect systems (if any) - no matter how you link up a weapon, though. If it's not, I guess submit a bug report.

GALAXY

You can plot a waypoint to stuff. Also wormholes.

Wot.

Fuck, that looks awesome.

I have yet to see more than the bland stock stations but there was a competition not long back that brought in new designs.

So... ah, anyone know a server I could join?

Because I can't do this single player now. Approaching a planet REALLY wears on my computer's memory. Probably a result of the fact the game tries to render ALL of a planet's chunks, instead of the visible/nearby ones.

I tend to keep the settings really low. This lets me (barely) render a single planet.

Galaxy update is out now and this start to look like a game now.


At least in what was said, what was implemented is half of it

[TheDarkStar]

Do we have a Bay 12 server right now?

[BigD145]

I don't think much of anything has Bay12 servers right now other than ss13 and maybe Minecraft. StarMade was silent for awhile in general and then things picked up.

[TheDarkStar]

Also, at what point will it be required to pay to play?

[NullForceOmega]

Schema has been fairly quiet on the point at which it goes paid or nothing, but the current price is very low, so if you're interested in keeping with the game, I'd buy now.  In fact I bought a year ago.

[Glloyd]

Only 5 days to get StarMade at the $6 intro price! If you haven't upgraded yet, now's the time!
