How do you get rid of the puffing smoke that seems to come from the core unit?

I don't know if you can, but it'd sure be nice if you could. The core isn't very customizable.

This may sound n00bish, but how do you save custom colors in the Shipmaker, the ones under the three player color buttons?

How do you disable a weapon by default, and only if a section is rotated/moved to the border the weapon is enabled?

The weapon online/offline mode doesn't seem to respond to border reaching triggers. The other difficulty is getting weapons disabled by default rather than enabled by default.

There no direct way to do it, but you can achieve the same effect by, for example, triggering it off immediately after ship spawns with some rotating/moving/fading section.

Looks like a bug.

Well, anything could be wrong. It depends on how you have the triggers set up.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying to make a section that covers a weapon, then moves aside when the weapon aquires a target. Maybe I've overlooked something, but when the weapon aquires a target, the section moves to its target, then instantly jumps back to its origin. Is it supposed to do that? How do I get something to stop along its move path, instead of jumping back to the origin? By the way, I'm using these triggers: On 1: weapon aquired target. On 2: Weapon lost target. Off 1: Move reach target. Off 2: Move reach origin.

Check return speed.

Hmm, no, I see what you're saying, but I don't think that's it. The return speed is set to 1.11. In fact, after looking at it again, the mover behavior is even more eratic than what I described in the first post.. When I launch the sandbox to test the ship, the mover starts at its target, moves somewat along its path, then jumps back to its origin. When the gun starts firing, the mover again jumps instantly to the target, moves back to the origin correctly, then moves correctly to the target. upon reaching the target, the mover jumps back to its origin and stops moving altogether. Idk if this is just me being newbish, or maybe a bug. If it is a bug, it might even a bug that was fixed in the v.90a release; I still haven't updated yet.
