New weapons look good so far. Recoil is a bit weird right now, but it's a minor problem However, does the weapon update mean that power mechanics have been finished? I hope no, because it's even worse than spaghetti lines. We were promised simple and intuitive system, that does not restrict our...

How exactly new shields will work with moving turrets?

Well, they have said that destroying conduits between chambers in battle won't change anything. So why do we even need them? It's easier to connect chambers in some sort of menu, not in the build mode. And yeah, while I didn't like old system much, it was able to divide good and bad power...

This. We surely need designs as a rewards or affordable items - both for newcomers and for those, like myself, who are too lazy to actually finish big ships they started to build

Yep, its face is funny, especially if these 2 eyes-turrets are aiming in the single spot. It's called tortoise because it has no weapons on the main entity, almost everything there is filled with shield's cap and regen.

Finished the Tortoise. Original shape was created by Bielwenass

Well, as the title says, I've built quite a few ships, but only some of them are finished. Partially because of upcoming power update. Mostly because of lack of the motivation. Dreemurr First ship I have ever made. Has been modified countless times. It's a multi-purpose ship, has deadly...

Made a platform with my oversized turrets some time ago.

Found some time and made a list of obvious tiling patterns, including their approximate stats. There will be no exact values - only comparisons between this patterns, and there again will be no capacity elements - only active and cooling. Row:Column 1:1 Checkerboard pattern - the worst...

Yes, power generation is non-linear, but I don't understand what do you mean by non-linear power consumption. Well, This idea was created in the beginning of the year, as a reaction to the first proposal, so I don't remember exact formulas I used. But I ll try to describe my idea using...

Months ago, I made my own proposal after the first official one - at that time I was really worried about lots of restrictive rules the official one had. And now we've got a new one. It's surely better, I liked many of its ideas, but I see some flaws in it - one of them is that the new proposal...

From what you listed, only EMP-ignore looks like actual issue. Yes, self-powered turrets put less strain on the main ship and can work rather independently, but they sacrificed some of their volume to the power systems - so they are not as effective as unpowered turrets in terms of offensive...

Interesting ideas, but some of them are overpowered, while some are kinda tricky to implement - for example pusing beams away from your ship, thus making your hitbox smaller

Maybe I missed something, but why this is even an issue? If power is linear, than self powered turrets do not abuse power mechanics in any way. As for TP, the easiest way is just to forbid the usage of these on docked entities.

While I agree with most of your points, I am on the other side of the barricades - depth is more important to me, and if this depth brings some complexity with it, I dont mind. Current starmade power is neighter complex, nor very deep - its difficulties are mostly that complexity conflicts you...
