The real question is, will they make any of their male characters gay.  That'll be an interesting day considering the MANLY MACHO MURDER MEN advertising FPSs have been getting for...ever, I guess.  Since DOOM?

The comic was full of little gems.  Dapper Omnic for next hero

Who's to say the woman and child are the ones that reaper is eyeing here?

If it's not an automation unique to fleets, then logic blocks will probably be needed. you can only transfer cargo through a rail docker if the source's cargo has pulling disabled, which means you could have the flagship pull the cargo form the miners but pulling from it to a station would be impossible unless you turn off the pulling on the flagship cargo first. I haven't tried logic circuits at all in Starmade, but I'm guessing there's  a way to detect that a ship is docked and temporarily turn off pulling.

sun does reach out quite far, I think five sectors or so. that said iirc it damaged directly the pilot, not ship blocks, unless it has changed recently

btw consider investing in a mining fleet instead of a planet eater, should be way less laggy (And works even when you're offline)

I have no idea how I'd go about making a functional fleet of automated miners.

I played a couple more placement matches, currently at three wins, one loss.  Played McCree in two matches, Zen in another.

That "Stay in Group" button actually worked for once.  After we sort of facerolled an Anubis game, we randos grouped up six-man style for a second game, where we in turn got bested by team of mostly gold and plat players.  Ah well.

One of the guys in the group finished his ten games.  He got around 2300-2400, so I imagine that's around where I'll end up

Nah, where you'll end up is based on your previous season's final ranking, and if it's your first competitive season, it will use your quickplay matchmaking rating which really could dump you anywhere depending on how much you practice things you're bad at in quickplay. You should end up near your previous season's rating or QP MMR no matter how you do on those matches, maybe drop a few hundreds if you do REALLY bad.

I really don't suggest using that "stay as group" button in competitive, it's a trap. You're taking a team that was good at managing an uncoordinated or half-coordinated match against an equally uncoordinated team and making it into a large premade group that will end up fighting other large groups, a lot of which are coordinated. I tried it a couple times. I've had teams that just worked together so great and crushed the enemy just to be embarrassingly stomped once we turned it into a large group.

Don't do it if you value having a balanced match. Solo/duo queue and 6-stack are two completely different playing styles.

Server seems to be working fine again. That or I'm too busy building to notice the warning popup. I'll be leaving for a week or two in a few days, hopefully the server and my stuff will still be around when I get back.

Base is coming along nicely. I've got more power than I know what to do with at this point.

Anyone know of a transparent block that's not as fragile as plain glass? Googling tells me there is or was something called plex glass and crystal armor, but I can't find anything about those or how to get/make them on the wiki. Looking through the various factories I can't find those either.

Nah, I managed to get where I wanted to go after a bunch of slow jumps. I've started building a station with a shipyard and am currently trying to figure out the docking and turret systems.

Well, I'm done repairing and upgrading it with some shields and a jump drive. I also created a faction so I could rename the ship with the faction block. Now I'm wondering what I should do next. Find a quiet spot and create a faction home? Is it better for it to be a station or a planet? The shop I started next to ran out of jump drives(only had 7) and the system has a bunch of "undiscovered stations" could some of those be shops? I'm guessing things won't end well if I just go see in a mining craft.

Any specific rules I should be aware of for the server?
