Also remember that in atmosphere there is drag. And drag is decided by the frontal cross section of the construct, meaning a long slender ship will go faster with less engine power then a bulky one.
Ah okay that makes sense, and is a very good thing to know. Thank you sir for the advice ?

Pretty much. Also depends on the intended role for that vessel. Like my work truck in atmosphere is made of carbon fiber or plastic and it is not meant to get shot.
That makes sense. Combat ready material vs non-combat. Why not use the cheapest/lightest for something that’s going to be out of combat. Okay I gotcha. I appreciate the help.

You don't even have to have items connected with honeycomb if you don't want to.
But yes less mass means less power required to achieve the same velocity. But most things with low mass have low Hit points.
Hmm, that’s interesting. So I guess some sort of middle ground with good weight but also not compromising on hit points. Thanks for the reply

Hey all, just wanted to ask a quick question aimed at the more experienced ship builders. I can assume that less weight is more or less always a good thing when building as it would require less power, and therefore less resources to have the ship function. Having said that, would it be advisable to limit the amount of voxel honeycomb material I use and stick to mostly just the elements to have the ship function? I just don’t want to waste a bunch of material when I could just connect the elements together with small strips of honeycomb and be done with it. Or should it be maybe somewhere in between? I’m just unsure.
any and all replies are greatly appreciated guys

Game will occasionally CTD when you are in a high populated area., mostly because of all the ships, abandoned speeders and corporations that decided to spam their adverts all over the place.
The best thing to do it get out of the starting area as soon as you can.
You may also get the dreaded 'Fatal Network Error' where you get kicked off the server and back onto the login screen. This can be very annoying when you're flying in an atmosphere with a heavy cargo load, since your ship comes to a dead stop. When you log back in and jump back in the pilots seat, you have to fire up the engines and hope to gain some speed as your ship plummets to the ground. If you're in a larger ship, this usually ends in disaster.
Thankfully, this has been greatly improved over time.
Ah okay that makes a lot of sense. I really appreciate the reply. A buddy of mine and myself were super excited for the game and both got it yesterday and I was worried about the crashes. I’ll make sure to leave the starting area quickly then. I thankfully haven’t gotten the Fatal Network Error yet but I’ll keep my eyes out for it. Thanks again for the info

Hey all, just bought a six month subscription yesterday to give the game a shot and I’m enjoying it a lot. The unbridled creativity is super nice. I was wondering if anyone else has had the game crash multiple times. Mine did twice during about a 30 minute period.
thanks in advance for any replies to the topic

This is awesome advice, thank you sir. I needed something like this just to get me up and running. I do really want to improve at this game, so I’m grateful for the help. I’ll be sure to put it all to good use.
