Massive CV's

[stermon13]

----Disclaimer: i do not know if this is in the right place----

I am currently building a Rather Big CV 140k+ blocks so far. The dimensions are currently 73x57x110. This needs a lot of turrets to be properly protected but because of the limit on this i most likely won't ever be able to use it. I am building this to be used on a server where this limit should be turned off but i can't even get it into my factory because of the limit.

why is it the Cv's that go past a certain size can't properly protect themselves?

The Turret limit exists because they lag the game, and so people don't make ships that are just a spam of turrets. As of right now, its best not to make gigantic ships like this, because of said limit.

Its in a sticky thread http://steamcommunity.com/app/383120/discussions/0/305509857561776232/

2 threads up from this on the general part.

Also here updated recently https://eleon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213145645-Exceeds-max-number-for-certain-block-type-or-blueprint-type-disabled-by-server

It's plenty enough I find

The limit is fine for small ships, bt it doesn't scale well. Our Typhon is pretty much max length, and if we put the limit of turrets on it, it looks stupid. Oh well, given that the size classes are all screwed atm (honestly, we can't build anything smaller than size 10 these days) we're just saying screw it mostly. If people want lower gun versions, then it's relatively easy to open the BP in creative mode, remove the guns and re-save it for use in survival.

But then I doubt you'd be building something as big as Typhon in survival anyway - we certainly haven't lol.

Anyway, good show on building big. The Space Moles like big ;)

You made an Eve Typhoon?

[vicomt]

No, Typhon - only one o ;) - Typhon is the name of a Titan from Greek mythology

The limit is probly there to avoid server lag issues. No matter the limit someone will complain about it. Git good and make builds the weapon limits can support.

They need to focus on more important things then useless gigantic ships that lag out servers

Okay, just making sure it wasn't a misspelling.
