[Rotation of blocks?]

I've heard stuff like this can't be done because violates the grid logic ships are built on.  Then again Notch thought moving blocks (pistons) would be impossible for Minecraft.  So we'll have to see what the modders can come up with.

 

This is exactly why I will wait for a talented mod author to prove us all wrong.

[General content ideas]

Fantastic ideas.

I love the Gas part.

I was coming to the forums to suggest it as well.

it could be placed around those Awesome planets in those rings of asteroids.

 

It would be nice if some of the Shipyards featured certain ships.  Either race or faction.

 

Would also be nice if we could take some of the user content and put it into those shipyards as a purchase as well.

More for RP then game function. 

[Server problems | Connection issues]

For my server it goes in

C:\Users\USerName\AppData\Roaming\Avorion\galaxies\avorion_galaxy

 

In the Server.ini

Hope that helps.

 

[Newcomers, introduce yourselves here!]

Hey Fellow Spacers

 

New Here, Saw the game on Steam green light.

Knew it was going to be a gem.

Myself and my two buddies pick this up. Have a home server running a persistent galaxy.

 

Loving this game.

Can't wait to see this grow and grow.

 

 

 

[how to get pilots and captains?]

You figured it out.

Depending on what place you are docked.

If theyhave Hire crew they often have an assortment of crew types.

Even the Security and Borders that are not implemented yet.

 

You will also need Sgt, Commanders and Lieutenant.

 

Good luck

 

[Capnbubs' Hanger]

I second\third or more the above.

Great ships, and I would love to watch you build if you recorded it.

Thanks for the post

[Shipyard with no location to dock to interact with it]

Good to know, sad, because I spend all my money and now can't sell it and am too slow and weak to go anywhere else.

But such as life with a beta.  Still a great game.

Lesson learned.

Save half your money.

 

Thanks for taking the time to let me know I am not crazy.

 

Cheers.

 

[How to give ship systems]

As for crashing a lot for you.

 

I have not had the game crash once and I am over 48 hours played.

It has crashed for my buddy. He is running Crossfire.

I told him to disable that.  IT has been much more stable for him.  He would crash every time he entered warp.

Good luck

 

[Shipyard with no location to dock to interact with it]

I was three sectors away, I used my Trade Module and say that they needed some Solar Cells. So I bought them flew here and now there is no visible Docking ring\port on this Repair Dock.

Is there a trick or was it perhaps damaged off?

I have touched it with my ship hoping that getting close would allow me to dock.

 

 

Thanks

[Rotating or Piston block]

Thanks for letting us knowKoonschi

 

Maybe a modder can figure something out like they did in Minecraft.

Thanks

[High Tech Trading system How do you use it?]

Well thank you very much.

 

I feel like a twit.  Never really been a button person, I try and learn the shortcut keys and never do the POINT and CLICK thing.

Thanks for the quick and awesome response.

 

 

[High Tech Trading system How do you use it?]

Hi fellow Avorions

i

I am failing at figuring out how to use my High Tech Trading system.

I equip it but don't see all prices for all systems It is a  Gold Exceptional one.

 

Not the faintest clue.

 

Any direction would be a huge help. I want to start trading and it is a REAL pain to screen cap each station write down the coordinates and jump and do the same for each place buying and selling stations

Thanks

[Rotating or Piston block]

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that might be the case.

Just a though.  Back to mining Titanium.

Good spacing people.

 

;)

[Rotating or Piston block]

 

Hi Lannik.

Thanks for your reply.

 

I don't mean turrets.  I don't think I was clear.

They are not a block you construct your ship with.

[/img]

I mean actual blocks in the construction kit for crafting a ship.

 

This could be used construct a Hanger Door that you could park a smaller ship in and have the door open and close.

 

This could be a block you put on the center line of a ship and that one block can spin.  You would make a line of blocks.  One block in the middle of this line would spin around.  Any blocks you attach to this central block would spin.

 

You see it all the time in space movies and TV shows.

A Ring that spins around the core.

This would allow for artificial gravity(that might help keep your crew happy as a side benefit)

Just a suggestion

Cheers.

 

 

 

 

 

[Rotating or Piston block]

I don't think these are in game. But I could be wrong.

I am still in the very early stages( 30 hours)

But is there a plan to have blocks that can move?

 

I have yet to see a ship or station that has moving parts on it.

 

I am thinking specifially of the Destroyers in Babylon 5 that had the portion of the ship that rotated around.

Or Stations with the artificial gravaty ring that spun.

And

Piston block that can go our x number of blocks and back when triggered to do so.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Should I get this game?]

This is a must buy IMHO.

I have SE, I backed  .. you know that RSI game that is not a game.

And in just two days this has scratched my Itch and more.

 

Love this game

Highly recommend it.

 

[The music in this game is superb]

Agreed.  It is fantastic.

 

 

Can we add our own music to it?

I would love to put my 2001 space audacy into it.

Anyone know if it is possible?

 

The game brings back so many memories.

Blue Danube when docking is a must. 

 

 

[Important Discovery - space rocks]

Thanks for Sharing that information LH.

Good to know.

[Proposed Changes to Accuracy, Arbitrage, and a Plethora of things]

Those are all fantastic suggestions.

Great job.

 

[Design Fighters]

Great suggestions and great that this is planned.

I would love to make some BSG Vipers or B5 fighters. Very cool.

 

 

Fighters look like Sperm flying around the void.

Wish we could reduce their Spermlike appearance.

[Holy Light]

Don't go into the light.

 

BUZZZTTTT.

 

 

[Fighters' system upgrade]

I have only got to a stage to fight against fighters but totally agree.

Improvement to fighters and hangers would be welcome.

[Resolved **Dedicated Server Failed to Connect to Port 27000 since Update r7385]

Fixed with Latest Patch

Thanks Devs

[Resolved **Dedicated Server Failed to Connect to Port 27000 since Update r7385]

Another Update

The Server is in my basement, so I chose LAN instead of IP and it connects no problem.

We are in the process of setting up and connecting to TeamViewer with the other two and creating a VPN and then trying to connect. 

So I am in.  but it is dead to the outside world.

 

I hear your pain.....

[Resolved **Dedicated Server Failed to Connect to Port 27000 since Update r7385]

Connection to :27000 failed: server unreachable.

Using Steam cmd server.. Reran update just incase update was not complete.

 

We were playing the whole weekend no issues, stopped to update when steam announced the patch a few minutes ago and now all three of us can't connect to our dedicated server.

 

Rebooted Server.

Rebooted client

 

Tried a complete wipe of the server (empty server folder with just the server.ini in it.)

just incase and same issue. (Server files backed up so we can go back to our meger ships.)

 

No other changes on hardware. 

 

 

Any help to resolve this.

WE ARE ADDICTED.. WE NEED TO GET BACK ON.. ;)

 

Love this game so far.

 

Update

All three of us tried on to get on the official servers and had the same port 27000 error.

 

Three different internet connections, Ottawa, Kanata, and Peterborough Canada.

So geographically about 500 Km apart.

 

Server info.

Vanila. No Mods

Default Server Ini with the exception of name nad server info.

 

Ports are forwarded and have been working fine all weekend.

27000, 27021, 27020, 27003  Just off the top.  Like I said, Working all weekend no issues on and off for the three of us since Friday.  We update with this last patch and the above error.
