I dipped my toes in this a good while ago and loved it but wasn't very good.
Not that I minded. I actually had a lot of fun figuring stuff out and trying to make weapons that were decent.

I spent most of my time around then just testing stuff in creative, and once I had a particular weapon roughly figured out I would add it to a rectangular platform. That way if I was editing a ship, I could load the platform, and just pick and choose, and modify those weapons to fit whatever vehicle I was building.

I honestly didn't get very far. I spent the vast majority of the time trying to tweak missiles, big and small, trying to optimise their AI as well as the missiles themselves. To the point I never really got into the actual game.


Are there any good blueprint collections on the workshop that already have something similar to what used to do? Just a big ol block with weapons / engines / systems that you can pick and choose from, as well as being able to deconstruct them and reverse engineer them to learn how they work?

Would love to get properly in to the game. There's just a LOT to learn, and this would make it a bit easier.
