So... I love the overall concept and design of the base. I did have some major issues with it however. I find the artillery turrents aren't really needed as they work best against stationary targets. I didn't care for the minigun turret inside the building either. So first, I removed the minigun turret... and a huge portion of the roof and the wall on repair pad side just broke all apart. I thought ok... I can replace those accurately... I think. So I move on to the artillery turrets. I remove the front one first... and another huge portion of the building collapsed. I then moved to the back one and removed it.. which caused a huge portion of the repair pad to collapse. Ok.. so by this point I figured I would just tear it down and try something else. As I was picking up pieces.. I picked up the furnace and half a remaining wall collapsed. Upstairs, on the second floor I believe, I picked up a plant and another huge part of the ceiling fell apart. LOL. I don't know what on earth was going on. Any ideas? I love the base, but I can't see myself using it if I can't swap out the turrets.

Hey DRU when I get home I can answer some of your questions in detail, however you have to use these hangars with SI Off option because making a proper support structure is impossible the get the correct spacing you want to fit ships through. That’s the biggest draw back. Once you turn SI off your good to do anything you like.

Ahh ok. Thanks. I play on a hosted dedicated server. So my main question is going to be how do I turn off SI. I can wait til you get home for the answer. No rush :)

Again sorry for that, what I will do is put more emphasis on the SI issues under the draw backs. When you build so much you automatically thinking everyone uses the SI commands. Sorry and thanks for your support and info. Will get back with you soon.

Drucinda, Ok it seems that the SI command is a 6+ level console command, and that may require your server admin to make it global or give you enough permissions to use it. The only other work around is to spawn it in space where SI has no effect on the structures. As far as the inside guns, thas normally for show until someone really bust into your base, they got a nice surpise coming. And the Artillery guns help for space at ranges. They got the nasty warping-in CVs now. Okay fun time....Some advice is to use the "N" key and select debug. Under debug turn the Structal intergrity on, this will show you the colors Green (Strong) to Dark Red which will break if you add or remove something near it. What I will do is try and see what I can do to remove all the red in key locations. Please note the SI changes depending on how/where you place the structure. So its always different. The strongest section on this base is the middle home sections/floors. And normally will stay green from medical up to the kitchen area. Again sorry for that issue, and I will see what I can do to fix this.

I found how to turn it off. Will it stay off or will it default back to on when I log out? And if I turn it off, does it turn it off for the server? I play on a pve only server so the pvp is not an issue. I pay for the server so the permissions isn't an issue, I'm admin. Thanks for the replies and sorry if these are questions that you have had to answer multiple times. I did try to find answers on the web first, but most of what is out there is years old and no longer applies for 8.5+ :)

Hey, cool glad your able to do it. Sorry but it will reset when you quit the game. So you will have to keep using it each time you log into a SP or MP it seems.

Haha, thats cool, yeah no problem at all Thanks for giving feedback. I asked for this from some of my other creators, but they never mention it, I guess we all got accustom to the SI off thing we forget that it requires permission when your playing on a server.
