Reply to Need some assistance with ship design and implementation... in Star Control StarControl Forums

Greetings, Starfighter! Glad to see someone else who still appreciates this. The Gunstar is still to this day one of my very favorite ship designs in all of sci-fi. I'm glad I finally figured out how to get it to fly and shoot straight in the game. If you have any suggestions on the design, let me know. I uploaded the most recent incarnation into the Steam Workshop. I definitely agree about Dual Shot being the best match for a Gunstar - I have been playing with many different loadouts

It looks like the problem is much simpler than that. I observed that, while in the ship selection menu, the orientation of the ship appears to be critical to its in-game thrust direction. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/68/95/6895909

First time poster, long time fan of Star Control. I am immensely excited about this game - especially the ship designer capability. I've been tinkering a bit in the beta, and I have some questions about setup of components. Let me show what I have been attempting to design and then see if I can explain the trouble I am having with it. I'm an 80's kid, and I'm a big fan of the Rylan Gunstar from the movie The Last Starfighter. I figured I'd see what I could do with the design tools to
