This is a list of common ship building questions.

=== What do the different ship multiblocks do? ===

* Hyperdrive
** Allows ship to jump into hyperspace
** Higher tiers increase hyperspace travel speed
* Navigation computers
** Allows ship to use the /jump command
** Higher tiers increase the jump range of the ship
** Without a navigation computer, ships can still take hyperspace beacons but cannot /jump
** Shuttles can /jump without a navigation computer, but their range is halved

=== Why aren't my guns firing? ===

* Forward-facing ship weapons require a thruster to determine what the "front" of the ship is. Add a thruster.
* The weapon you are trying to use is disabled by default. (See [https://github.com/HorizonsEndMC/Ion/blob/main/server/src/main/kotlin/net/horizonsend/ion/server/configuration/starship/StarshipWeapons.kt default weapon balancing values].)
* The weapon you are trying to use is disabled for your ship class. (See [https://github.com/HorizonsEndMC/Ion/blob/main/server/src/main/kotlin/net/horizonsend/ion/server/configuration/starship/StarshipTypeBalancing.kt balancing values for your ship class].)
* Your ship does not have enough weapon capacitor/power.
* For light weapons:
** Take your ship's block count. If the block count would be less than 500, assume your block count is 500.
** Take the cube root.
** Multiply by 3000.
** If your ship is not a warship, multiply by 0.7. (See your [https://github.com/HorizonsEndMC/Ion/blob/main/server/src/main/kotlin/net/horizonsend/ion/server/features/starship/StarshipType.kt starship type's powerOverrider] for the exact value.)
** If your ship is oversized (larger than the maximum block count for its class), multiply by 0.5.
** Divide by 6.
** Divide by the weapon's [https://github.com/HorizonsEndMC/Ion/blob/main/server/src/main/kotlin/net/horizonsend/ion/server/configuration/starship/StarshipWeapons.kt firePowerConsumption], or the [https://github.com/HorizonsEndMC/Ion/blob/main/server/src/main/kotlin/net/horizonsend/ion/server/configuration/starship/StarshipTypeBalancing.kt weapon's firePowerConsumption on a certain class].
** Your ship can fire a number of weapons of this type equal to the calculated value, or the value of [https://github.com/HorizonsEndMC/Ion/blob/main/server/src/main/kotlin/net/horizonsend/ion/server/configuration/starship/StarshipWeapons.kt maxPerShot], whichever is lower, whenever you fire your light weapons.
* For heavy weapons:
** Take your ship's block count. If the block count would be less than 500, assume your block count is 500.
** Take the cube root.
** Multiply by 3000.
** If your ship is not a warship, multiply by 0.7. (See your [https://github.com/HorizonsEndMC/Ion/blob/main/server/src/main/kotlin/net/horizonsend/ion/server/features/starship/StarshipType.kt starship type's powerOverrider] for the exact value.)
** If your ship is oversized (larger than the maximum block count for its class), multiply by 0.5.

** Your ship can fire a number of weapons of this type equal to the calculated value, or the value of [https://github.com/HorizonsEndMC/Ion/blob/main/server/src/main/kotlin/net/horizonsend/ion/server/configuration/starship/StarshipWeapons.kt maxPerShot], whichever is lower, whenever you fire your heavy weapons.
