My core has disapeared! Help please.

I just started playing this game two weeks ago, and I've run into trouble. After successfully creating and saving a ship, I tested it out in Sandbox. After an exchange of fire, the area around the core opened up, and the core was gone, rendering it invulnerable! Only the blue circle remained. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas on how to fix it? (I've tried changing the core as well as the color, but to no avail.)

hmm thats weird. Someone probably knows exactly what it is but I don't, sorry. I've screwed up the parenting so nothing is parented to the core though lol. Has it happened more than once, and does it do anything when it disappears?

A lot of parts are parented to the core, and apart from the side effect of invulnerability, nothing out of the ordinary happens.

That is one of the weirdest things I've heard. Can you see if this only happens with this ship or others as well? Either the issue is in the ship, in which case you should just rebuild it and save a new file, or it's in the program, in which case you should un/re-install.

Just the one ship. I was trying to put off rebuilding it, but I guess I have no choice.

Try to save your Shp File And your Sb4 or sb3 in a Folder (Whatever Which Version you use With Shipmaker).
Reinstall Bsf And try to put them back in your custom ships folder maybe that will fix it

I think you may have shrunk the core. Check to see if you accidentally shrunk it in ship maker.

DanDrester31 check the dates on the last post. This topic and the one you posted in about music hasn't been touched since 2011. Don't necro stuff.
For the sake of contributing, shamrock's right, you can't delete the core so having it shrunk is pretty much the only option. Unless the .sb4 was edited in text editor, I can't say what can be done there.

Note the last visited, Wed Oct 19, 2011 4:43 pm. In short, he's no longer here and no matter what your intentions were they won't help him. I'm just suggesting you pay more attention to dates in future. It's not really a big deal here cause the forums are dead but in forums with actual activity necroing is frowned upon so it's a good idea to get used to avoiding it.
Same deal with double posts, there's an edit button for a reason.

Hey, Bad Boy, fuck off with your backseat moderating. Leave it to the actual moderators. We'll deal with it if we think it's necessary.

Sure, fine by me. I kinda assumed you guys weren't really here much, for obvious reasons.

Honestly dude? don't be a dick. at least we're trying to contribute to the fucking forum. I give zero fucks about your mod status, the fact that the only time you contribute is to smack people on the knuckles is fucking upsetting. you wanna know how many topic posts I've seen from you in the last 6 months? zero. you haven't even commented any criticism on any new stuff. Try contributing to the forums again, like Bad boy has been doing. Quit it with your "holier than thou" attitude.

So curse me out. Warn me, Do whatever the fuck you want. Just know your acting like a prick.

That's Anna bud, just ignore the attitude and swearing and he's a nice enough guy. He always comes off this way til you're used to it. The trick is to mentally replace expletives with pleasantries so "Hey, Bad Boy, fuck off with your backseat moderating" would be read as "Hey, Bad Boy, please stop your backseat moderating" :P
Thanks for defending me though, much appreciated :)

That said, the point here is that there's been little indication that you (Anna) or any of the rest of the mod team actually show up on the forum. Perhaps I should have gone to irc for it or used the report button instead but both of those seem like a lot more work than simply telling him.
Griping aside, as I mentioned before I'm happy to leave this to you guys since I now know you're here. That said, if necroing and useless multiposting are now allowed I'd suggest updating the rules to show it. I know the forums are all but dead but contradictions are still contradictions.
