My ship wont turn

[Migz]

when i try to turn my ship with my mouse its not working maybe i forget to put something in the ship? help

[Turtle]

Did you put gyroscopes in it?

[Ember]

Do you have gyroscopes on the ship? If so make sure they are on, and the override switch isn't on.

[Migz]

ha thats what i probably forget thanks !

[Nitro]

Heh, I tend to forget to put gyros on my ship... and forward thrusters.

LOL I made an awesome ship once but forgot the gyros so it was useless

I have this same problem. So i accidently built my large ship without using the 'New Large Ship' option. I instead made a huge platform (I was in a creative mode world) and manually picked out a landing gear and started building off of that. After i finshed i gave it a test flight and found that it would not move whatsoever. So I went out into empty space for some room, created a 'New Large Ship' and copy/pasted my prebuilt ship onto that landing gear. Now the forward/up/down/left/right directions work but i cant use my mouse to stear the ship at all. Its a 2 million KG ship and i have 100 gyros on it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

well first make sure you own all the blocks then - make sure all of them were converted from station to ship(since even one will make the whole ship unmovable) also is ship is heavy - more than one thruster will be needed to move it in any direction - so you migh try fitting more enignes too

The ownership was the problem i believe. That and the fact that i had 'override controls' so I couldnt control the gyros from the cockpit. Fixed: Put all gyros into a block group, transferred ownership to me. then made sure 'override controls' was unchecked and voila, I had control of my ship. Thanks for the help

Same problem here, i can move the ship forwards,backwards,upwards,downwards, and roll with the wasdqe+space keys,but cant move it using the mouse?

the ship has always been in "ship" mode and is not a station, all the ships blocks are under my ownership and i have thrusters on every side. everything is turned on too, and there aren't any gyro overides

its a 342769216 kg ship and has hundreds of gyroscopes, but i still cant tilt it with the mouse. can someone please help?

At 342 mill you will need thousands of gyros....and i mean thousands.

For perspective i had a 30k block cruiser weighing around 35mill. I needed 475 gyros just for sluggish turning :)

Try spamming them all over the hull till it responds in creative.

Then jot down the number and jump back to the proper build.

Post how many ot took if you can id be interested to know on something that heavy.....iv never built that big haha

Either have I, I think it would take me a decade to build something that large based on the settings I play with and by building by hand 1 block at a time.

If you are open to mods, check out the tiered gyroscope mod. The largest gyros do an amazing job at turning ships, and you don't need millions of them. It's one of those balancing things that should be in the vanilla game. If nothing else, it should include the large ship gyros that are essentially 5x5x5 or 5x5x25 and don't have as many triangles so less lag.
