      Why exactly is power broken?

      So with your second image, I understand this is with a peeled away hull, but let's imagine you want the ship to look like something resembling a ship and not just a pile of systems. You have internal space to manage or course. Easily arguable with the current system. You fire your weapons and...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      So the proposal introduces heat. And overheating a ship negatively impacts performance. You can't win if your ship is melting. You reduce heat by reducing the systems on a ship, or using whatever cooling system we might add in as well. Is that not a problem to solve? I am legitimately not even...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      I'm willing to listen. But hear me out on this okay? Because I think I've got a valid point that nobody here has managed to completely disprove. I play the game. It's my job. I still build stuff, if only average at systems. That proposal is more about making building interesting, and...

      Wouldn't it take the same amount of space to change the color of a display block text? Either you copy the color from a display or you copy from a light block. Still a minimum 3 blocks needed. I can't speak for how the system works, but I feel like only increases in time should be made for...

      I am sorry friend. You are talking to the wrong person about this stuff. I don't have enough knowledge on how logic works, the game stores it's block data, or possible solutions. What I do know is Schema has no intention currently to reduce logic block size. I'm not saying it's never happening...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      So what makes you think we can't find a solution to those problems? I have to think ahead. Better to plan this stuff out now rather than later. In the future we would like fleets to work, we are already planning a list of changes for the AI, and eventually a player and their faction should have...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      Well that's tough isn't it. Because arguably on many science fiction vessels, there are redundancies and systems that are less important. You could have air conditioning on a ship, to regulate heat and cold. And not just because the heat is a problem on a ship, but because people on ships want...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      First, a few times in this thread players have made claims that it doesn't matter where things are located because combat is so imprecise that attempting to target sections of ship are fruitless endeavors. So why does it matter if we changed how systems are arranged internally? An example...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      I think following simple rules that apply to more than just power is a more exciting challenge than the current game. The current rules are along the lines of "place or remove blocks so that you get some optimal penetration on your weapons" or "place a layer of blocks that you least care about...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      As far aesthetics go, we don't really care how you make something look. What we (I) care about is that I can hit the bow of a ship, which is hundreds of meters from your aesthetically pleasing "power core" and do damage to your power ca current power system extends lines of blocks through a ship...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      This right here is my point. You fail to see how anything outside of combat could have a purpose. Or that designing a ship haphazardly for anything other than combat is good gameplay. There may not be non combat oriented gameplay now, but we would like there to be. And when that happens, we...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      Well the goal is to address the issue with the norm. We can't ignore it because there are exceptions. It may be possible for players to exceed, and it's also possible players will be even more stuck than others. I'm sorry to say I doubt your claims. Two hours into my first time experience I...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      Well to start, they shouldn't be worrying about that until they've gotten onto some larger builds. I'm not sure ships will explode, but they certainly won't function well. We can introduce warnings. Also mentioned in the proposal was new build tools, ones that could help visualize how heat may...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      And what makes you think that can't change? Schine already has ways to influence that. They are not in yet because the full range of content isn't there. We can't balance the progression when we hardly have factions in. I'd like to see a new player kill one each of all the ships we have in the...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      There is a lot of stuff here that I haven't read. Six pages. But I will give my opinion on why power needs to be redone in response to the Op. A lot of the arguments come down to the PvP side of things. Our top-tier players argue that the current system is fine, and all we (schine) need to do...

      Okay, but until that is a thing in the game, my point still stands I think. Is this programmable logic-based AI expected from the community? This is the first I've heard of it. Increasing options for the bobby AI module is one thing, but programming it is an even farther step. No plans for this...

      New Eden Fleetworks | EVE Online Ships in StarMade

      Hello all. It's been a while since I've posted anything here. Decided to make a capital ship showcase since the Chimera has been redesigned. In a few days I'll post a video with the new design. Enjoy!

      I believe they do have weapons. However I have not yet seen major difference in weapon scale. Seems to be a combination of space engineers fixed sizes, and starmades customization. So a small weapon platform that one can attach different components to. Not sure how the damage system works...

      I'm not even sure the doom laser in the trailer works. How is that setup? What process does a player have to go through to tell the game that four lasers on four separate moving parts should combine and form one mega laser? Watch the trailer again. Does the ship actually blow up or was it...

      And where does this look more "complete" to you? I see similarities, the largest difference being the graphics. I see mechanics, but not gameplay. I've watched just about every video on that channel so I'm not missing anything. There are pros and cons to the differences between StarMade and...
