How do you set a target for the Aegis Deflector in the ship editor?

Seriously... gotta figure that thing out.

Select the aegis, then right click on the section you want Aegised and select target. or Select the Aegis and hover over the section you want aegised and press T.

Correction... drones can fly in and shoot whatever they want. So the aegis has a counter no matter what you do with it. Attack an aegis protected ship with drones.

and to tackle demeters (aka bees), use custom particle guns and/or Point Beams.

Or use a beefed up ripper field.

Drones are useless I think, quite pathetic.

Individually, yes. In swarms, no. Even small swarms should be able to cause havoc by causing the AI to shield less-useful parts of the ship, allowing your main guns to rip through the unprotected areas. But larger swarms don't need to do that- they're death by a thousand paper cuts.

Question submission:

Q: I can't do <insert feature here>in Ship Maker and other people can. Why is this?

A: More than likely, you need to download the newest version of SM. This is included in the latest download of the game.

BSF says "not responding" and something about "...not opened to read...". Ship maker works, but it shows up wrong. I've seen the game a a mates place and I know that half the screen is missing. HELP!!!
This game is on par with Dawn of War!!!

Can you rotate the core? Sorry if this is the wrong place or if it's in the help menu (which I read through but I couldn't find it).

Yes, just as you can rotate sections.

No J and L just flip it. But don't worry, I worked around the problem a while ago.
