The starter guide you all need (and advance guide)

mystique

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.

@kieffer5101 and @Oneye are correct that energy storage is not explosive, while ammo and especially missile storage are. Also, reactors are extremely explosive and dangerous to put near weapons, while ammo factories are much less deadly. As a result, ammo storage is seldom useful and missile storage is basically never useful, while energy storage has niche uses.

I would strongly, strongly advise you to listen more to some of the guides and to the other players posting here. There are plenty of resources around to help all players learn.

mystique At all. @Oneye 's guide is very useful, but i have personally easily destroyed him in multiplayer with properly placed storages.

I haven't played against Oneye in a while, but he's definitely a strong ship builder. It seems unlikely that you could "easily destroy" him with ships of similar quality to the one you posted above.

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.

kieffer5101 Incorrect.

mystique

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.

Oneye

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.

Oneye

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.

mystique

Oneye Same name I have here.

mystique

Oneye Thanks for clearing that up.

I applaud your arguments. (seriously, I do). I completely agree about the reactors. Ammo factories are very explosive. Can I just be un-mobbed? I'm actually working on a mod for all of you, and this is slowing me down.
