1.3 KiB
Frequently Asked Questions
I just printed the ship, why can't I control the ship (version <= 1.0.1)?
If using version 1.0.1 and earlier, please read the note in the Flying the Ship section.
Why does it need so much Aegisium?
I converted all external plates to Aegisium for weight and armor, you can use other materials like Bastium for these plates by editing the blueprint in the ship designer.
Why is the compass panel label G?
I ran out of single character global variables while both the C and K are used by the ISAN and waypoint system which I was hoping to keep unmodified. I haven't used any digits though, so potentially one of those could be used. Suggestions welcomed.
As of version 1.0.1, I managed to free up a lot of global variables, but decided to keep it as it is. In fact with the panel rotated (see below), if you look closely enough the rotated G kinda looks like a compass pointing north (up/forward) :P
Why is the compass panel rotated (version > 1.0.1)?
The original Compass uses front and right receivers, but this ship uses front and bottom receivers. For ease of future upgrades, I just rotated the panel instead of making changes to the original Compass code.
Why are there so many extra hardpoints?
I don't know, I went a bit crazy there, but you can use them to add whatever you want, including weapons.
