I found a new glitch technique (new to me at least, don't know if anyone already found this) in my last build, that lets you attach a weapon to the underside of any piece with a bottom attachment point. I'm sure there are mods out there that let you just flip equipment plates to the bottom anyway, but this is for the people who can't or don't want to use those mods. Picture guide inside post if it isn't showing up.

1. Attach porthole to bottom of piece where the weapon will end up.
2. Move piece, attach equipment plate to porthole and weapon to equipment plate.
3. Duplicate glitch down the weapon (just the weapon) and a glitch buddy piece.
4. Direct attach (LT+RT+A when weapon attachment point is highlighted) a Nova Spine C to the duplicated weapon. Attach a second Spine C to the first one, and copy the weapon to the second Spine C so that it's now upside-down.
5. Delete the original and the upper weapons so only the upside-down weapon remains, and glitch the ship part from (1) back into the space with the equipment plate on the porthole. Delete the upper Spine C. Now duplicate the remaining weapon up - it should should still have its attachment point facing upwards.
6. Duplicate the weapon up again - it should end up with the attachment point facing upwards, just underneath the original porthole.
7. The weapon should now be merged with the other pieces because the attachment point is still close enough to the equipment plate's one, just coming from the other side.

The weapon isn't visible inside habs, though you will see the equipment plate itself because of the porthole that the plate needs to attach to making that hole in the floor. The plate isn't visible if you use this to mount a weapon under cockpits like the Nova C1, it's only on habs because of the porthole. And yes, you could just put a Spine C or similar piece directly underneath and attach the weapon to that, but this technique will let you attach weapons on low-slung ships where a Spine C or similar piece would be below the level of the landing gear.

(From a ship building perspective, I mean, not strengths and weaknesses for story/combat/exploration etc)

I had a go at No Man's Sky a few months ago, and was curious how other people got on with it. I've seen some incredible ships in the NMS subreddit and I know there are a lot more ways to 'glitch build' even without mods - using the ship decoration tool to manipulate where ship parts go, using the outposts to glitch outpost parts onto a ship, using a holographic projector to fake parts of its appearance etc.

At the same time, though, I found the NMS interfaces to be awkward to use, without the precision of Starfield's one. It's also annoying to have to switch between corvette/decoration/outpost building menus if you want to use all of those options, whereas Starfield at least has everything you can do incorporated into a single system.

In the Logbook, P50, one of the quizzes is about the springlock suits, basically repeating a lot of the info from Ralph's tapes in FNAF3. But the first question has a clear reference to Baby, as it's about an animatronic that can make ice cream and inflate balloons.

Since the quiz refers to the 'new springlock suits', this mean they should have been recorded just after the suits were brought to the MCI location (assuming that they originally came from Fredbear's), either if they had them from the start or if it had already opened before the Bite and the springlocks were a later addition.

And if Baby already existed (and she was common enough knowledge to be referenced in a quiz for Freddy's employees) before the tapes were recorded, that should mean that Elizabeth had already died by that time.

No, this wouldn't have to mean ElizaFirst - you could still have Charlie first, which might have given William his first insight into the supernatural, then CBPW as he starts experimenting with trying to reproduce what happened to her, then the Bite. An alternative would be that there was a gap between the Bite of '83 and the opening of the MCI location, which is when CBPW happened. As long as it happened before the suits went to the MCI location, it should work with the Logbook evidence.

I'm sure some people will dismiss this because the Logbook is screwy with the timeline, but its mix of things from the FNAF1 era, MCI era, modern references like the own-brand Apple laptop, are all on different pages, separated. I can't see a case where things from clearly different eras are in the same page, directly linked together.
