I am starting to wonder if I have some degree of Stockholm syndrome where this game is concerned.  I just started back in, decided to refurb my old Jotun fighter.  I got it most of the way done, then ran into a small problem, I can place every block there is in the  ship, except power generators.

I remember making my own custom variant of that ship. I think I recall you being baffled by the amount of thrust I decided to put on it. I don't have the blueprint for it (probably would be outdated anyway), but I do have screenshots.

Yes, your variant holds the official designation as Jotun II.  The III required a substantial increase in thrust capacity due to a recent rework of those mechanics (seriously, the original thrusters couldn't even break gravity in the current version.)

It also received a huge upgrade in power generation and shield capacity.

I am honored.

They're actually kind of small on my screen. Regardless, it's good to see what the ship looks like in the new engine.

I went with medium thumbnails because I use a 40+ inch Sony flatscreen for a monitor.  Should I go bigger?

[Kadzar]

Yeah, bigger would be better.

[NullForceOmega]

Updated, still really black against really black space tho'.

Also, the Gungnir is fully updated, probably going to want to re-work it's new turrets at some point, I'm not sure how to make decent looking small turrets with the new weapons and rail system yet.

some mini turret ideas

The ones in the top left corner look decent, and fit within my envelope, how are their stats?

[LoSboccacc]

rubbish! they will at most knock off missiles, if the server ai setting is accurate enough

[NullForceOmega]

The ones I've got right now have okay stats, but they look like shit.  They need to fit into a 5x5 box tho', and retain movement, since there are three 5x5 boxes in a line, the footprint has to be 3x3.  This is repeated four times for a total of twelve PD turrets.

what's an ok dps to you?

[NullForceOmega]

They aren't for PVP, just busting pirates, they don't have to be monsters, just small and inexpensive.  I've currently got twelve beam+cannon 3+3 (on a 3x3 base) micro turrets, they look like crap, but they can do a little damage.

Can someone tell me why some of the top builders and community members of the StarMade forums know who I am?  I mean, I bummed around on SATURN helping people with their builds, but seriously how is it that I actually registered on people.  Also, other than Schema himself, I appear to be the oldest forum member still active over there.

Not a damn clue how you're so memorable. I wish people acknowledged me beyond yelling at me for getting some minor detail wrong

I've updated my fighters recently too, and actually uploaded a vessel to the community content block!

Never bothered to take pics of the latest fighter design. It comes with a detachable chin component as a form of escape pod, and one variant I put two immobile beam turrets (just the turret base, unable to rotate at all, set into the hull) on it both set to fire at selected target; they do the pewing for me, so long as the target is in front of me. Quite handy. AI variant receives bigger cannons, that's all they can actually use.

Hm. I'm having a lot of trouble planning my ship out. Any advice? Do you guys follow a certain routine when you build? Planning?

[LordPorkins]

Do you think if i hollow out a planet i can make it a ship? Because I'm totally doing that.
