Projector Ship Problem

[Sh4dy3lement]

Hey guys, so I built a ship using the projector, its complete except 1 block, but i heard this doesn't matter if its not 100% complete. It has power and everything, but once I detach it and try to fly it won't move, the thrusters engage, can't turn or anything like its frozen in place, anyone have an idea or answer? Thank you.

Did you build it attached to a station?

[Tourettes Guy]

I think you need to go into the options menu and "convert to ship"

[Sh4dy3lement]

oh never thought of that that would make sense thanks

[Sh4dy3lement]

I have the same problem, But the button of transfer to a ship isnt clickable,
The ship's weight wont show either.
Hope to hear soon

Do you have "convert to station" enabled in your advanced world options?

Im not sure, Currently playing on a hosted server, Do i need to enable that or the admins ?, And some parts of the sip arent mine but its like 15 parts from a 2000 block ship

It'll be the admins who need to change it, but they may not want to. It allows a very destructive exploit in competitive multiplayer when enabled.

Hmm so to get this straight ? I'm not able to fly the ship ? I build it with a projector. Thrusters work, everything works. it wont show its weight or let me view the ship from third person. so im just zooming in and out inside the cockpit,

If it won't show the ship's weight, it means that the ship is still considered to be part of a station: probably the station that the projector was on.

If "convert to ship" is greyed out, that means station voxel support is enabled.

Your ship is still attached to the projecting station somewhere. Find the attachment point, cut it free, and you'll be able to fly away.

If a block is still touching the projector, that's an attachment point too, btw.

You're positive? No ship blocks touching any base blocks at all? Including the projector itself?

This is a long shot, but try this:

Go sit in the main cockpit of your ship. Open the control panel, select that cockpit, and tick the "main cockpit" checkbox. Make sure every block on the ship is owned by you.

Now go to the info tab while still sitting in the cockpit and see if "convert to ship" is available.
