Love the idea in principle. The one thing I feel it doesn't solve for (maybe I am missing something) is encouraging the creation/use of empty spaces and reduction in system sizes, which I really liked from the last proposal. Also, as has been said, please change the name from "Tech Points" :P

I'm a huge fan of this idea, as proposed! I also like the idea of making shields more complex, but don't feel like the reactor direction is the way to go there... I feel like directional shielding is the answer (make me care about which side is currently facing the enemy).

Do you know what you googled? I can't find anything on what to do about it ( did clear my client cache but no joy)

After leaving and re-entering a sector in which I have a station built, the entire station seems to get squished and nothing on it/docked to it can be interacted with. Reloading the sector doesn't help, however restarting the client fixes the problem until the sector is loaded again. Screenshot

One thing I continually miss (and often something that keeps me from playing for longer stretches) is not having to worry about my general survival. Mostly only enemies are of threat to me, which I feel detracts from the experience. In general I think builders like this thrive a lot on the...

NOTE: This is not my original design, this is a heavily modified version of Squirrel's creation, the original can be found here. This is the first in a series of Star Wars refits I'm working on focusing first on the Empire... this will probably be by far the smallest of them. I'm sort of...

This has probably been mentioned before but... Something I always wish for when building is sound blocks: a block that when activated by logic plays the selected sound. Example sounds: -Hazard/warning siren -Various weapon sounds (think star wars blasters or star trek phasers) -door sounds...

IS the Imperial SD still being worked on?

That makes more sense. The question then is how do you balance it. For example, is there a maximum number of contiguous connected blocks? Or is there a diminishing return beyond a certain point (that would seem to make the most sense)? On a side note... so missile damage is not negated by...

I don't think the point is to make it impossible, but to make it more difficult. Doesn't having a 99% resist at 256 HP mean that even with 100k damage you can at max go through 4 blocks instead of like a thousand? or am I misunderstanding how armor mitigates damage?

I actually get what you mean, but regional damage then seems to become a difficulty. I think toying with the resistance instead of actual HP is the better solution if I'm understanding how the engine calculates damage/hp, in order to prevent performance decrease.

I think significantly increasing the HP of armor is probably the easiest way to go. Though the weapon return curves do probably need some tweaking. I really like the idea of having connected hull pieces increase the HP of each individual piece, with higher quality hull/armor increasing at a...

Out of curiosity, before I make a relatively futile effort myself, are you still working on the ISD 1:1?
