do not build stations inside asteroids
This thread only applies to survival players. If you are a creative player sissy your input isnt relovant here.
Yes building hidden stations and ships inside asteroids is a awesome idea, but there are a few things to consider.
If the maps asteroids are refreshed your stuff will be either deleted or fossilized.
Its asking to get scraped by accident.
It will actually make your defenses much worse, as those who find it by accident mining will have access to your ship because there will be no defenses, because there cant be as they will be buried in the rock. And outside defenses dont work well inside so you will be limited to inside defenses which are limited to line of sight. The rock just making it easy to cut around paths out of line of sight. So long story short, it will be easy to infiltrate and sneak around your station or ships.
It takes a long time to intricately carve out rock and takes no time at all to mine it all up, so if you have cave walls your base can be sucked up in a few gulps where iron walls are harder to dismantle or destroy. I could take a small ship with a grinder on front and ram through a thin cave wall before the guns stop me but couldnt against hardened armor.
Worst of all whether you are home or not you cant see whats going on right next to you. You can literally be picked apart before realizing its happening only to have to chase somebody on foot through tunnels they created back to their ship.
The defenses just arent there.

Of course, what you meant to say is multiplayer not "survival players".

Because the thread "isnt relovant" if it's not MP is it?

Creative mode sissies? Realy? Not that I am one, but that's not nice.

Anyways, building inside an astroid is not realy usefull unless you want to protect it from metiors. In that case it's perfect. It does take forever to carve out a hole for the thing, though. I've always sort of thought of an astroid base as an endgame objective; something to collect materials for and to work towards.

About having worse defence capabilities. I'm planning to leave a few blocks space between the walls of the astroid and the walls of my station and then covering then min turrets. That way the turrets don't use ammo unless they have to (unlike outside) and I can still be protected from any *ssholes.

I also plan on advertising my existance so that they know it's there. If they realy want to get in, they'll have to mine in and they'll still be ripped to pieces.

Of course a mobile base that you hide behind the astroid is infinitely more effective, but not nearly as cool.

Sorry for being off-topic, but I just wanted to say that I loved that review.

Reason I posted was to clarify "survival" as being equal to MP. It's not. NOT creative is also in SP. We DO build in asteroids to protect against..... meteors.

So your thread is only "relovant" to MP. I quoted THAT because THAT is what you said.

You think you should call other people arrogant when you mock people for playing creative? Didn't really think that through did you?
