Common Beginner Mistakes

Aerodynamic Shapes

This is a really quick, semi-efficient way of making your ship move faster. To build this, all we need to do is add slopes to the sides of your ship, whilst decreasing the interior of your ship by 2 blocks until you are down to 1. Basically, just make your ship look like an arrow.

Ignoring the Centre of Mass (CM)

Remember to review the center of mass while building. This can be found by pressing [P]and locating the ball of Arrows, this ball is the CM

Not Using Metal or Alloy

Cover the important parts of your ship in it, like the AI or ammo barrels.

Not Using Beams

Each beam has the same cost as 4 blocks of the type of beam (e.g. an alloy beam has the same cost as 4 light-weight alloy blocks) however, each beam has the health of 6 blocks, and only takes up the space of 4 blocks. Also, constructables spawn much quicker and the game runs smoother with less blocks

Large Missiles

For most purposes the largest missle you will need is a 4 block. It may not seem like a lot, but it truley is. If you're thinking, "Well, this 4 block missle, you say, is good. So what should I put on it?" I would recommened a thruster, 2 fuel tanks, 2 fins, a one-turn, a warhead of any kind, and an infrared-seeker.

Using One Vehicle

Having one ship specializing in one thing (e.g. a missle carrier or a battelship) generally does better than an all-rounder because if you had to make one ship have both missiles and cannons, would you have more space for more missiles).

Pressing [G] will switch the orientation of the selection square. For example, if you place a slope with the camera facing downwards, the slope will be oriented downwards. This is dependent on the camera direction.
