NQ-Deckard Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 With production on the Demeter update well underway, we wanted to make you aware of one of the big changes that will be included in the release, the Stacked Element Detection function. Previously, it was possible (though not permissible) to stack elements while creating ships. We’ve since eliminated the means to do this; however, there could still be players who are unknowingly piloting purchased ships that contain stacked elements. Used in tandem with the in-game build helper, we will now provide a way to identify stacked elements on constructs so that the owner can remove them. You may now find that some elements listed have a red triangle in front of them, indicating a stacked element and/or an element that is overlapping another element. The following elements* are currently subject to disabling: Repair units Shield generators Weapons Elevators Anti-gravity generators Anti-gravity pulsors Containers Industries Mining units Airfoils (wings, stabilizers, and ailerons) Space and air brakes Adjustors Engines (atmospheric, space, rocket, hover, and vertical boosters) Control units (including PvP seats) Deep space asteroid trackers Resurrection nodes Surrogate pods and VR stations Territory scanners *List subject to change Please note that this is a temporary method to address the issues caused by stacked elements. An automated process will be introduced in a future update in which any stacked or overlapping element will have its function disabled. We highly recommend that all players use this to retrofit, redesign, or unstack any stacked elements to ensure retention of functionality once the final phase of the stacking fixes is implemented.
