Speking of refineries...thy are next on my list...
Spaceports are in, but they can't accept cargo. That, guys, is what the cargo terminal is for. You might wonder what the spaceport is for. Well, I'll tell ya. It's for buying, selling and hanging out, a safe place to store your landable ships...but the cargo terminal is where you will transer cargo and get money for it. That cargo then will have to be moved to a warehouse. I don't suggest putting all your facilities next to each other, as they do beep to alert you to their presence.
By the way, aircraft speed is i knots, not MPH, as we found a stupidly easy way to conver it.
Also, as per the MotD earlier,the Lockheed's turret has been upgraded.
Also, side note: If you got a cargo terminal, no need to go back to Sol t o drop off cargo. Just a little hint.
So, what am I working on as of this post?
First off, starting n the ine and refinery. The mine will allow for more resources. Remember I mentoned sand? Yeah, you need that for glass. Which means you neeed a desert area, and again, aircraft to ferry the sand to a refinery to be turned into glass and then on to where it's needed.
Also I am working on the mall for ship upgrades, weapons, and all that interesting stuff...well...I said mall, it's sorta just a collection of terminals in a store.
Lasgtly for now, I'm helping with the aircraft side of things in testing. Those engines spool up and down reallly nice. I got a Comet to go 1042mph or...supersonic, on the ground. Physics happened, folks....:)
So...here's some FAQ about the buildings:
How do I get started?
You have to be in a faction, and capture a forest planet after a system. You need an axe to chop down trees. Once you got wood....hit B, pick the building you want. It builds it in front of you.
Why do I need a shelter?
Because they are somewhere safe to stay, that's why
Why do I need a spaceport?
Because, in addition to the cargo terminal you're also able to transfer argo, once fixed up, at the spaceport for credits....though you try doing that at somebody else's system and you'll get lit up most likely depending on who it is.
Why join a factiion?
Because factions havea lotta cool stuff in the works, plus, here's a sneak peek of one thing I like:
Factions earn money based on people buying stuff. If you buy 500cr of shotgun ammo, the faction who owns that building and terminal, gets that money into the ir faction account. So if anyone pays 20 mill for a cruiser.....that's a nice, rich faction there.
What about faction PVP
That's a thing, but no coded systems, find a faction and blast them, and be prepared for retribution if that happens and you tangle witht he wrong guy. Or me, If I happen to catch you roid mining in my system...you get a warning shot, then boom, yer dead. Does that make me an asshole? Maybe. Is it defending my system? Absolutely.

Also don't be afraid to say hey to me in chat. I don't bite...without a reason
