      Thoughts on Gigantism

      This whole idea was the reasoning, quite some time ago, that I dropped any and all size based classifications off my ships. I went with role based classifications instead. ____ ship is meant to escort others or act as a swarm drone, it's not clear whether it's a fighter or a frigate or even a...

      Factory Control Block

      The problem is when you have to produce odd numbers of singular objects such as computers or pentas. It's not a laziness thing so much as a quality of life thing, imagine having to produce only 18-20 penta blocks but excessive numbers of a much more common block so as basic hull or basic wedges...

      Factory Control Block

      As I was going through the troubles of creating all the various parts for some drones, I realized that it was incredibly arduous to build a small number of a certain type of block and then have to change the factory to something else. Now in a large setup I suppose it wouldn't matter, you'd...

      The ultimate drone R&D thread

      I feel this way about standard armor but not basic hull, main reason is that basic hull can be made from virtually every block in the game. It only takes a few ridiculously easy parts to make and so it's extremely cheap. My main issue with crafting at the moment is order size, I can't tell a...

      The ultimate drone R&D thread

      I have to disagree here, subjectively, mostly because sertise and rammet are not terribly uncommon materials from what I've seen so far and 50 of each capsule is ~equivalent to 2 weapons blocks. Certainly having more weapons would be useful but the shields are sort of a pre-requisite for...

      The ultimate drone R&D thread

      Soooo... back to nano drones then I take it? I'll probably keep my heavy drones as is with shielding, they're all basically externally mounted anyways that extra protection really does help. On the other hand I can safely alter or create new nano-drones seeing as how they no longer need shields...

      The ultimate drone R&D thread

      so far my results from doing noncreative production runs; mass amounts of weapons computers- neglible impact, they use the same resources as thier actual weapons blocks. once up and running its a minor cost difference. effect computers however are much more annoying to mass produce. they often...

      Liquid Systems Nano Yard (LSNY)

      I've been updating some of my older designs lately. so far I have managed to reduce the cost of the Dune from about 10 mil to roughly 2 mil. No loss in shields, some thrust is lost but there's been a massive weapons swap mainly. also it can now carry 8 heavy drones or the standard 16 flea...

      Liquid Systems Nano Yard (LSNY)

      So after much fiddling with the Undine chassis and a fair bit of liquor on the wife's part, I managed to come up with a new Drone based on the Lancer version. It still needs a name but it's oddly enough the single cheapest heavy drone I've made yet, all while keeping a fair amount of dps. I...

      Update: The Kuwaga mk3.2 is now ready to roll off the assembly lines. Honestly a few weird things happened with this latest update and I have done my absolute best to work around them in hopes that for whatever reason they will be fixed in the next round of updates. That said, the new update...

      Liquid Systems Nano Yard (LSNY)

      In the wake of today's update I will once again be re-re-balancing my ships it seems. This isn't terribly bad though, it will free up a lot of space in my ships once again. However some designs will no longer be "current" the Ju Ga mk3 however will revert to being the Ju Ga mk2 as the only...

      Liquid Systems Nano Yard (LSNY)

      So i'm making a new drone, no name yet not even a code name for the moment. It's based off the pistol shrimp, which stuns it's foes with it's crazy claw and then finishes them off. It is still very much a work in progress however once complete i'll be sure to post this asymmetrical drone up for...

      LSD Ju Ga - Weapons Re-done

      With the latest update to weapon ratios the Ju Ga lost a substantial amount of damage ~30%. I reorganized the weapons and removed a small amount of shielding in order to bring that damage back up to it's full potential. New stat changes are as follows, anything not listed is unchanged...

      Liquid Systems Nano Yard (LSNY)

      My goal for today was actually to do just that. I wanted to create a large armored turret and test it against 5- Kuwaga mk3's and 5- Ju Ga mk3's Assuming the turret is heavy enough to survive more than 10 seconds of this, I should be able to notice a STOP effect in action. Hopefully all goes...
