Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!

In honesty I'm trying to turn them off. Like how people turn off the Tachyon Repeaters. I just don't know how.

Anyway, good work BlueEcho, your ship was great. :D :D :D

try set the reload or cool down higher if you want to turn them offf.

if you want to make them more deadly, increse the fir rate of thr demeters.
if everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.......idiot.

You want it to not fire, like how people use the megatachs as "turrets"?

Set burst size to 0.

For good measure, set clipsize and range to 0, and reload+fire rate to 999999~.
But I think just the burst size is enough.

Yep. and I forgot to edit the range. I think thats the Problem.

Also I can't seem to get My station to act like a station. It wants to fly around like a ship. And it's annoying, because It's not suppose to do that.

Setting max speed to zero should cause it to just rotate in place.

Nice looking platform, in any event; much more aesthetically pleasing than most of my space stations.

No No No No. Its acceleration that must be 0.

The other way around. Zero speed and a high acceleration should do the job. Or at least a speed of 0.01. Because, if you spawn a station with zero acceleration, and choose a facing, it will not be able to stop moving towards that facing, and rotate.

Eh? It acts as a space station, immobile, and spinning at its turn rate, if and only if the acceleration is set to zero. :?:

Space station: Set Acceleration to 0, Max Speed to 0.01, and Turning to whatever speed you like.

And for an Orbital Defence Platform (aka Halo Style), set Acceleration to 0.01, Max Speed to 0.01, and Turning to a rather slow speed...

Max speed doesn't need to be at 0.01.
For a space station, max speed will only effect how fast you can drag it around with gravbeams. A small station (such as a fabricator platform) could make use of a higher max speed (maybe 1 at most), whereas a gigantic monster station would use something lower (Like 0.01)

From what I gathered:

For Space Stations to work Like a Space Station, Accel must = 0. Speed does nothing execpt when gravbeams come into play, like Ethril said. and I think Turn controls how fast a Station rotates. So anything higher than 1 would make a HighSpeed Fan.
