Jakeblake the guide is abit outdated as you can see. I agree i should change the energy storge part to be more up to date. im not going to add ftl tho

    You know the wiki has guides and articles on these, too.

      Lafiel yea i do, still want to write this

          WRONG about the ammo and missile storage. They are much more useful than the power storage, in fact.

          mystique nope... only energy storage is useful, in fact storage is allmost useless 😃(take too many mun) and you can explan about why the ammo and missiles storage are better

            mystique In my experience (14 months) and multiplayer experience, ammo and missile storage are pretty much useless. Except for the one or two times they might be useful. (which I have never encountered, but have been told there are.) They are just as explosive (maybe) as the factories, and they cost too much/ take too much space to be easily added.

              Oneye im not sure about this but i think the factory and the storage is explosive when they have ammo/missile

                CATMASTER yes

                    CATMASTER Incorrect. I have plenty of personal experience biulding ships, and many a well-placed ammo storage has saved ships from wimpiness.

                        CATMASTER Somewhat

                            Oneye Energy storages have just as many hitpoints as the ammo storages, and are more explosive. They also are nearly useless. Ammo storages, though, can be extremely useful if placed correctly.

                                mystique energy storages don't explode...

                                  mystique and the fact that ammo factorys are the same size, but factorys create an unlimited supply of ammo while storages only hold a specific amount.

                                    mystique Using storage on this ship is absolutely pointless. You could simply replace the storages with factories and have your rocketlaunchers fire (almost) continually. The explosiveness of factories wouldn't even matter cause the reactor above would blow the area anyway.
                                    I kinda feel bad for doing so but I would advise you to read this guide again and possibly check @Oneye s Dos and Don'ts for building guide too.

                                      CursedPh4nt0m I have tried that, and... it doesn't work. At all. @Oneye 's guide is very useful, but i have personally easily destroyed him in multiplayer with properly placed storages.

                                          mystique And who are you in multiplayer? As far as I remember nobody that has beaten me in MP besides Verania has used (ammo) storages.

                                            mystique Everything "explodes" when it's destroyed, what we are talking about is if it does damage to things around it when it's destroyed. And as I've already said in my guide, energy storage doesn't do damage to things around it (aka it doesn't explode). You can test this yourself by putting parts around a full energy storage and then self destructing it.
