[What are your favorite things to do in Avorion?]

Turning enemy ships into fireworks, then sending my support carrier equipped with salvage fighter wings to clean the mess up for even more fireworks, then using the mats from the fireworks to build stations while watching more fireworks (those pirates and aliens probably never heard of a definition of insanity) :)

[Recoving my wrecked ship]

Hello, I have just registered just to answer your question :D

 

Anyway, what I do most of the time with the root block is that I select it, transform it to any other type of block I like to (there is tool for that in a build mode) and then I scale the block up (another tool that allows changing material and scale of the whole ship). Once the root block has the material, function and scale I like, I build the rest of the ship around it.
