It has been a while since I last made a suggestion. Both of these suggestions relate to turrets AI and function. 1: Add an option that will allow the turret to prioritize larger or smaller targets (Much the same way it does high or low damage missiles. [this could be designated by block count...

Well the only way to find out is to make one of your own using the current code set. Then take out what does not work, and find a solution to the issue. Though this may not end in an exact replica, it may be as good. So give it a shot and see what happens.

Except, that neither the power update nor the weapons updates invalidated all shells, as this form of update would cause 100% of all shells/ships/stations/planets/asteroids to be redesigned form the ground up. Which would be akin to starting over from the beginning.

The Devistator fighter chassis has been refitted from simple strike craft to multi-roll scout fighter/bomber. Dimensions: 33L, 16H, 24W. Each sport over 40k+ shields, a level 3 stealth drive, a level 3 Recon Drive. Upper and lower AMS turrets. The Scout Fighter mounts a Auto cannon under...

I was thinking about deep frying it, but then I realized that might not work. In all actuality though you can get a few good turrets on a ship that size, some Arc beam (Beam/Missile) and some rapid cannon (Cannon/Cannon) are also not bad choices, though Beams weapons seem to be where its at for...

There seems to be two different Scanning systems, one is the old Scanner Computer and Antenna combo that does not seem to function correctly with the new power set up. The other is what I like to refer to as the combat scanner which is a reactor chamber, or series of chambers. I may be doing...

Again I was testing this against what I felt I would encounter in a solo survival game. As for a PvP setting I could test against bigger missiles types. Of course I had wanted to create a good foundation before jumping into larger systems to get a handle on how things interact. Admittedly a...

Those were 3 blocks per barrel and 3 for slave, no effects. so total 6/3

I was retro fitting some older PD turrets last night, and I learned some interesting things. For some reason having barrels on opposite sides of turret base cause the turret (under A.I.) to target backwards (just as if the computer was in backwards) I tried re-orientating the weapons computer...

Thank you for the information, at least what I was seeing was supported by math. We shall see if this gets revisited in a future patch, Other than that I can see how this can be used to stop Missile spam. Oh well the systems I have now still hits like a brick so :)

Cool but if a fighter drops a bomb would it not be a bomber?? :) Maybe a fighter bomber... Things to consider

So I gutted the whole refit, and started over, what I found was in a small craft (>30x30) getting a missile storage to 2 missiles was easy, however anything over that took massive amounts of Storage. For a 6 missile system consisting of 18 total blocks it took nearly 20 blocks of Missile Storage...

So I was retro fitting one of my fighters last night and I ran into what I can only call a missile issue. This fighter has six total (3 block missile weapons), each with a beam slave so that they are lock on, so the total system is around 36 blocks not counting the computers. What I noticed is...

So after getting both the target and the main ship in the same sector I got it to work, one heck of a hole too. Thanks for the help, though we will likely need to get this reported as a Main cannon should not be a point blank weapon.

Maybe that is the issue it may be a cross sector thing, I will need to continue testing it. Still boggles my mind that regular beam works just fine, but the combo is not atm.
