The Ship Editor is Almost Perfect

I love playing interior designer nearly more than flying the ship I made around the galaxy. But there's one thing I've found holding the editor back from utter greatness: Doors are only one color.

If each side could hold a different color scheme, my rooms' palletes could shine in their own. Alas, my hallways end up with patches of red or blue or green wall, instead of a unified color for the whole room. Interior windows, too, only hold one color for both sides.

It's a shame, really.

Joystick?

Does this game have joystick support? I'm looking for a game I can play like the old X-Wing games in some way.

Do any systems that aren't starting systems have ship editors?

I'm trying to avoid having to build a ship editor station in every system I visit. Do any of the NPC stations have ship editors outside the home systems?

How do you reset your progress in a server?

Basically, I wanted to start from scratch in a server since, playing in NA servers is too laggy, and I wanted to stay in one of the EU ones

Is this game dying?

I love this game but I just wished we'd have more and more players in the game, since that'd make it so much better. I feel it has such a problem, like Elite Dangerous, to put an example. Is there any way to find more people to play with/bring into the game?

Personal Trading

Is there a way to trade from person to person? and do like a funds transfer? My friend was trying to give me credits but there seems to be no UI for this. The only thing I could find was a thread saying

/Transfermoney "playername" Amount

Would work but it didn't and threw some errors

Thinking about playing this game (dedicated server?) with 3-5 friends..

We've played 7 days to die, empyrion, conan, etc... How does this game play with 4 to 6 people? Is that overkill for Coop play? Are there well defined roles or will there be a lot overlap? etc

Heat machine broke

The central hallway in my ship is really warm. It shouldn't be.

This room is smaller then my Engineering section and has the same number of fans. It also has far less equipment. The heat just keeps spiking, even when all the equipment bar life support is turned off.

Resolution Bug

Has anyone been able to find a solution to the issue where in-game resolution setting only changes the resolution of the display but not the game? it seems no matter what resolution I select for fullscreen mode, the game will occupy the top left quadrant of my screen and the display.

Public Service Announcement

Public Service Announcement:

So after spending a lot of time, resources, money and close calls I lost my prize ship today. It was 125 blocks in length, 45 blocks in width 2 x drone bays, 2 x Large Shields, 1 x Station Shield, cloak over 600,000 k hydrogen tank capacity for extended trips, ship storage system, armed to the teeth, 4 x refineries, 4 x extractors complete multipurpose ship. Well over 5.5 mil to insure (didn't insure it couldn't afford to)

So why is this a public service announcement? Well after surviving an onslaught of Skrill with torpedo's and missiles in a T3 system I rifted into a relatively safe T2 system to do some mining and collect resources, refuel etc. Parked at the mining station, activated station shields, deployed drones, started extracting water to make fuel for my 4 x Extra Large Hydrogen tanks.

10 x Skrill attack, my weapons are dropping their numbers but my station shield is not online (10 min to go), so I turn off the shield and start running, manage to destroy them all then get back to my parking spot. Engage station shield and start doing repairs etc. After 9 minutes I hear guns, thinking oh more skrill, next my shields are going down I jump to the cockpit no skrill??? WTF??? see a swarm of protection drones all red around me shooting me. Did I leave my guns on? Did I accidently shoot the station? No to both my guns were off I was 800 m from station so why are these drones attacking me??!!???! I attempt to run, call for repair drones to repair the ship but more drones arrive only to attack me and worse they took my credits so WTF I paid to be attacked? No it wasn't a reputation issue I was at 3500 rep for my faction and around 1500 for all the other factions. So after freaking out I ran around the ship and noticed the Skrill had infected my ship with their internal creatures. After removing them the drones continued to attack me, apparently awaiting the cooldown timer, so once again I request repairs from the service....cost me 4.5 million for the service call. Guess what more drones appeared and started attacking me needless to say I died, my ship was destroyed and now am broke sitting in the station going WTF just happened.

So long story short what I have learned and am guessing the issue was if your ship is infected by the Skrill, the AI considers you as an enemy and will attack you so anytime you are attacked and your shields go down, do yourself a favor stay away from stations until you have done a complete check of your ship for the internal parasites otherwise you will end up in the same situation I was in getting attacked and not knowing why.

Will I recover? Absolutely I have another great ship in another system in storage and I have always dumped my high value resources into my vault or my freighter then store my ship in the station for protection.

Long slow process to get to where I was but just the nature of the game, you can't always win and sometimes it takes a good asskicking to get your head straight. That is my Public Service Announcement.

What do you think is the most Confusing aspect in this game that the ingame Tutorial doesn't explain

I am a Video Creator and strive to bring the content that helps the Playerbase of this game.

for this, it would be helpful if some of you post your Problems in the Comments of this post.

maybe I can explain it on the spot. if I don't I and other creators can make Detailed Videos about this subject
