Wait, what?! No! WTF ... I was so looking forward to that - making the planets actually INTERESTING and worth exploring not just this bland industry-crap all around.

You really think that? You DO know that MANY are actually 12 or so ...

LoLz ...

Alright. Got it. Wasn't sure about that since many things don't seem to adhere much to Laws of Physics (like the fact it does not matter where you put retro-rockets, they still work ...).

I don't partake in pvp, but I'll take the acceleration, although just before did not notice much of a difference TBH.

Just strapped 3 more space angines to my ship - the max speed is still 29.999 kmh. So ... what exactly is the point of more engines, except consuming more fuel?

Interesting ... Do carry on, I would really like to hear your thoughts on this.

Not wanting to hijack the thread, but since it is about ship building: How come my atmo ship which uses Hover Engines, and is not really balanced (as in some elements are not completely aligned) stays perfectly still in once place while hovering - but my spaceship which uses Vertical Boosters instead, although aligned to the millimeter keeps veering off to one side or another - as in, the moment I sit on the command chair, and the ship hovers a little it starts going either backwards, or sideways and the only way to keep it in one place is if I keep holding the break key. What sorcery is this? TBH I hate vertical boosters, the hover engines on my atmo ship are superior.

At least that's something. This is what I see at that page:

For hours now, the server has been completely sucking. Repeated disconnects, then a Queue with hundreds, then Timeout, then when finally connecting the inventory is empty. Then getting disconnected again, then once connected after an hour cannot move things between inventories, keep getting "Internal Server Error". Then a bunch of other errors .... Is there some page somewhere where we can see the current server status or something? Because here, in this forum there doesn't seem to be anything.

Well, there are some of us who do play solo. Should we be forced to join an organization? The game is about rebuilding civilization. Take a look around, at the current civilization -- is everyone part of some organization? No. Look, as a simple example: Let's say we could fish in this game. I would build a nice cabin near my Twin Lakes, then I would go out, relax and fish. Then some of the fish I would use to make food for myself, while maybe some I would go to a market and sell. Now, someone who does not want to fish, or does not know how, but likes fish for dinner, would buy a few fish from me. And that would be nice. THEN YOU WALZ UP with your ORGANIZATION, BOMB the bloody fish from the air, kill a million fish with one stroke and overwhelm the market. See what happened now? Why the hell would I fish anymore, when you with your organizations flood everything with millions of products. There is no more specializations, different skills and tasks different people would do and thus CREATE A CIVILIZATION. The whole game is turning into a GIANT INDUSTRIALIZED CLUSTERF*CK where there is no place for actual roleplaying, skills and specializations per individuum.

-.-

Thus, a lot of digging.

He is mostly right though, at least for now ... there is nothing to do, just dig The only way to earn money, so that you could, say, build cool stuff, is to mine. So that's apparently what everyone is doing. There are endless ships and container clusterf*cks parked on every market, so much rubbish parked there, I cannot even enter the bloody market often because of all the Ad displays and "Join us!!! We are the best!11!111" panels everywhere. Carrot on the stick. Still missing.

I "fixed" it, in that there was nothing wrong, the ships engines are simply underpowered for that mass. The ship had 1 L atmo and 2 Ms, but it has many heavy elements, like 10 containers, 2 massive Space L engines, 6 tanks, etc. Whoever designed this at NQ simply sucks at ship designing. I switched the 2 smaller atmo engines with 2 Ls, and now the ship flies straight to space in a matter of seconds. The vertical booster is also underpowered for a ship with rating capacity of 150 tons. I now bought a second L booster and going to install that. I also changed the design of the ship and polished it to be a high end space limousine with a touch of the 50s cars flair. Will attach screens later, coz I am on the road now.

I don't know anyone.

I was going up at an angle of max 20 degrees, and carrying nothing. I also noticed when starting that the vertical booster would randomly fire to the right side (straight through voxels) instead of downwards. If this doesn't work I think I will have to take completely apart and build anew.

Just bought one an hour or so ago. And crashed 3 times now. I cannot leave the atmosphere - the atmo engines are working fine up until 2000m or so, then they throttle down almost completely and I keep falling like a rock. Also the giant vertical booster doesn't seem to help, as it says there to hold Alt+Space to use it - which does nothing (doesn't work). I mean this is the Spaceship from Novaquark, so I thought it should be perfectly made etc. BTW I had no cargo whatsoever on me or containers. Just bought the ship,. deployed it, started flying up and then back to earth in thousand pieces ... Those were 4+ million wasted it would seem ...

I bought a cheap 49k grasshopper. Flew there. I am fixing the ship now. I really do not like the control scheme for the ship. I much prefer my mouse controlled control scheme but cannot seem to apply that to this ship.

This does not work. Alt click with Dig tool does nothing. There is no "soil" or sand or whatever equipped.

So, I just bought one of the stock spaceships and wanted to leave Alioth for the first time --- first of all - how on earth could I change the controls - on my atmo ship / hovercraft I already changed them, but I did not see the option for the spaceship (I changed them so that I control the direction with the mouse, and thrust with W/S). Second: the stupid thing - Despite slowing down to basically zero - I crashed on the smaller Alioth moon (is it Moon 4?) - the ship was destroyed and I resurrected on Alioth in one of the districts. Now, how the bloody hell am I supposed to get the ship back? I cannot get to the moon. And I also cannot fetch it because it is apparently too far.

Yeah, would like to know that as well - I cannot retrieve some material because it is almost double the volume of the nanopack. And splitting does not work. That is rather stupid. BTW even selling it directly from the Market Container does not work - although on right click you have the option to create sell order or instant sell -- and the selling interface opens, and it even says "X amount available" - but then you cannot enter any amount to sell.

I have already reinstalled a few times, also installed on a separate SSD ... anyway: every few minutes or so my Constructs vanish --- for example my ship, my house, my factory ... The frustrating part is this: Sometimes I could be far away from my factory, and would go mining ... but when I get back, say after 20 minutes I see that my whole Factory has disappeared - and in this lost time of course nothing is being produced either. This happens a lot with my ship as well: If I go somewhere to mine, then walk a bit away from the ship, mine, and then I get back to the ship - and the ship is gone again --- you can see this happen in the VIDEO. It is not like the ship is underground or something - it simply is not there -- this happens with whole DISTRICTS as well! I fly to a district, but it isnt there --- the ground below that is there, the grass is there and everything - just the WHOLE district - with Market, ships AND PEOPLE -- simply is not there. So, again I have to log out and log in again - and what you know - all of a sudden a very busy district with dozens of ships and people appears. This is extremely frustrating lads.

yep ... have to constantly check the industry because of so much crappy H and O2 clogging up my containers ...
