The problem is that, when you get down to it, most ships will be far, far heavier than the projectiles they fire. So, yes, there will be recoil from your physical ammunition. However, when you are firing a 126 pound, six inch shell from a 56,000 ton ship, the recoil, while it will be there...

With the changes to warheads, they now calculate blast. Basically, shaped charges are now a thing, and blast is propagated like conventional high explosive. Though they do have problems, don't get me wrong, they've fixed enough that Alfred was willing to change the warhead blast and damage...

I didn't say that we didn't have shields, simply that you cannot buy them. So, Try reading that again. Furthermore, I quote my earlier post: So, the cusp of our argument is that warheads provide a difficult to use, highly powerful weapon that allows small ships to successfully damage larger...

We do. On this server. On this server, you can only obtain shields by building or salvaging them from old relics. My battlecruisers? They have 4-5 layers of advanced armor on them. My dreadnoughts? 5-6 layer outer skin, plus an addition 4-5 of bulkhead, built in a honeycomb shape to maximize...

I don't think you guys understand something very, very important. These warheads are neither nukes, nor are they AKs. The warheads have a blast radius of 25 blocks. They can get no further, and advanced armor will drop that down to 4-5 blocks. At the same time, they deal damage somewhere in the...

I've been on this server for a few months now, and you are forgetting something incredibly important about small ships. Just because it can kill you, doesn't mean it will kill you. These torpedo bombers, which took upwards of an hour to build in such a way that they didn't self-detonate...
