StarMade - Ahhhh Big Ships

[Lugnut]

the ai doesn't control my turrets properly

what am i doing wrong

i have constructed a ship, attached it to my main one on a turret mount dock thing, and made the bobby ai block thing and activated it with r

set to turret, aim at any, checkmark enabled

doesn't do jack stuff while pirate turrets are like "lol forget you"

Are you sure it's in range? I had a problem like that when I first started, my turrets only had like a 300m range so the pirates would float at like 500m so the turrets couldn't shoot them.

Press T and check the weapons computer on the turret and check the maximum range.

[Lugnut]

that's probably it.

aside from that i'm actually getting the hang of this game

pirates are ripping through me pretty quick, but at least i figured out how to go from 0 to 200 kph in like <1 second

so i got that going for me

yes, i know about weapon groups. i just haven't figured out the perfect balance of assorted things yet. i need to make a big ship before i figure that out. my biggest ship so far is like a stuffty 5x7 block, not very streamlined, but i was hoping i wouldn't die in a second because of a stuffload of shields and reinforced hull pieces in the front. not so, but i've only got like 5 shields so yeah

i'll get this game figured out. do we have a server up anywhere?

TURRETS DO NOT SHOOT OTHER TURRETS.

that is your problem

Where the hell do i even GET turrets?

you build them and dock them to a turret docking module

Stocking, I applaud your ability to make spaceships. It reminds me of Gratuitous Space Battles.
Make one with four massive tri-barrel turrets.

this is major dumb stuff.

this is major dumb stuff.

well AI revamp is imminent, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

If you set the turrets to "selected target" and target the turrets they'll engage. At least turrets don't shoot through your ship anymore lol. I remember when that was a thing.

[Tayasaurus]

Yeah these ships are real cute n' all

How to have more than 2 weapons useable at once? I put down a weapons computer and an SDBB missle cpu and a d1000 missle cpu, but only the SDBB and the antimatters show up when I go into the roosterpit.

[comr4de]

Make sure that the weapons CPU is linked to a numkey in the weapons menu (T)

[Cassord²]

Any good servers out there that blocklanders play on?

[darkhunter88]

I would be willing to host a server if you guys want me to. I have done it before, but I primarily shut it down since there was barely anyone on.
