So, is there meaningful persistence and PVP yet ?

That's been in for ages, but everybody is waiting for the new net code to do serious multiplayer.

That being said, there's nothing really wrong with doing 2v2 or so, network-wise.

This is odd. I built a welding/grinder ship. The cargo containers are on the back of the vessel, with various conveyors to the tools on the front. The lights on the tubes are on. I cannot, however, move any resources from the rear cargo container(only one accessible to the outside) to anywhere else on the ship - not even the cargo container right next to it with a conveyor block in between - except a single motor. Maybe a few other things, like a single computer. Everything else is blocked, including stacks of motors greater than one. Plenty of room in the destination points.

Are you using small tubes? Many things cannot traverse the small tubes.

Also make sure there is adequate power

Now I find this out. >_<

Damn, and I thought I designed it well.

Small conveyors can send ore and ammo, so fighters and miners only need small conveyors. But construction/deconstruction ships need big conveyors.

Can they send missiles? Missile blocks dont have small attachment points, so I assume they cant...

no, they can't send missiles, but I normally stick my reloadable missile launcher directly on top of a crate, so I never have to worry about it.

 Do small conveyors block gasses? It seems like they block gasses. Which is a pain in the ass if its true.

Wait, you can a hollow interior of a small ship that's filled with gas?

[Aseaheru]

Sortof. They have vents, but no doors.

However, I was talking about oxygen and, more importantly, hydrogen.

Redesign my construction ship. Had to make it bulkier than before, with large conveyor lines sticking out of the ship. Also figured out how to place blocks from the cockpit. Apparently, you cannot place new vessels directly, at least from a small ship. I'm pretty sure I've seen a video of a gravity cannonship using automated welders to fabricate ammo separate from the main vessel - assuming it's not actually building them attached to the vessel then using an automated grinder to separate it. PRE-EDIT: Actually, it does exactly that. Video I was talking about.

Used my ship to build a small beacon "ship"(immobile, attached via the starting landing gear) on another asteroid. Then I forgot that none of the components(battery, solar panel, antenna, beacon) have a control panel, so I had to fly back and one on.

That's pretty awesome.

THE SPICE MUST FLOW

[Akura]

I just spent most of my evening building an atmospheric attack transport for a contest. Most of the features on it work, including the rather nifty folding ramps and niftier rotating engines(this one kinda bugged out, can't figure out why). Except, it gets next to nothing on vertical lift. Worse, I can't seem to get a stable platform built to take off from; it just rolls off. I tried spawning one in the upper atmosphere to try and fly it. It gets extreme forward thrust, but also gets the same vertical thrust a brick does. Cue face-planting a mountain from low orbit. Might be too heavy. The folding ramps, which also protect the occupants when raised, are heavy armor blocks(armor is a requirement however).

Contest details.

PRE-EDIT: It also seems that engines on rotors do not work properly, according to some posts I read(which may well be old). Strangely, the engines I rotated did work, in that the craft's flight dynamics did change. I flew into the ground faster.
