Yes, much low how they could have fixed the shields aspect of docked hull and have been told this dozens of times yet for some reason have not turned it off.

Well, for starters, when they stole a bit from block HP for other things, they accidentally nerfed the shit out of armor. They increased the armor rating to try and balance the halving of max HP, but they seem to have forgotten that because of how pierce/punch interact with armor ratings, armor...

That's nice. "Style" isn't something quantifiable though. Can't really use it for balance, sorry. Dismissing my argument as "just trashtalking" when I am attempting to explain the problems in your methodology towards balancing the PvP game and telling me I should be banned is pretty...

Fair enough. I still disagree with your method even with traditional ship shapes, however. True, your method DOES save mass overall, but only when you don't account for other systems beyond hull and power gen.

Yes? Why would I care if my opponent's ship has a weird shape as long as it's balanced? Not even remotely good since the HP update. Huge flat surface area means they take huge damage from explosions, and cubes are only slightly more efficient in turn speed while have no other advantages. I...

It shouldn't NEED rules in the first place. The game should be balanced so that these types of ships aren't the optimal choice to begin with.

Nah, you can make aux pretty sturdy. Here's an example I just threw together quick of some spaghetti aux with forcefield laminate. Not perfectly efficient, but I have my build dims set to 250 max and was feeling lazy. Pre-Damage After poking it with my laser pistol Still all in one...

"The balance" is a catchall term to describe the way all of the systems in the game are currently "balanced" against eachother. If you're asking what specifically everything that comprises the balance is, well, that's a little hard, but the overall gist of it is that the top of the food chain is...

I don't know why RPers continue to push this meme. Dimensions mean nothing. Balance should be based off mass and build costs. Why would you want to balance off of dimensions when there is so much variation in the size and shape of ships? A ship that weighs half as much as another ship with...

Ah, the classic "if you follow my flawed hypothetical that only my idea would work in then my idea works perfectly!" strategy. The box is unnecessary. It can 100% be ignored.

It can be difficult to enjoy the game when the balance continues to go down hill, and people who do not understand the balance continue to spread lies on the forums, and the moderators give points to people who say "No, you're ignorant and wrong, stop posting this." Again, as others have said...

What do you mean by this? In what ways does my proposal prevent the creation of a big ship with lots of guns?

Wrong. We already covered this. This is only true if you pretend hull is a requirement. Which it is not. You can build a ship that has both. The word you should be remembering right now is SPAGHETTI. Correct, but only because you are currently not allowed to actually use your moderation...

This is the fundamental flaw with your argument. You are discarding the "exceptions" that prove your design philosophy wrong. Hull is unnecessary. The way to build a ship in Power 2.0 is the same as before. Max efficiency on a per mass scale is not achievable with a hull because you end up...

They are wrong. Power system changes alone could entirely eliminate spaghetti. The main problem comes with difficulty in coding a power system that blocks spaghetti and in making sure it doesn't harm "normal" ship designs. Best way? Not sure I agree, but it would certainly help. I actually...

So let me get this straight. If we agree with you, we should reply to you saying "I agree," which adds absolutely nothing to the conversation because we have an agree rating for that, but if we disagree with you and have a comment to make on WHY we disagree with you, we shouldn't say anything...

Why? Power is already incredibly cheap to produce. What would this actually add to the game? People will just use whichever is more mass efficient per power generated.

No. First off, you just stole these names from From The Depths. Second, there is no reason to have two power systems. It's unnecessary. People will just use whichever one is more powerful. We don't have fuel, so it can't be balanced like FTD where one is low power and fuelless and the other...

But he did. There's really no other way to honestly read this. "People like you make will me worry about kids committing suicide." We are included in that group of "you" when he says that, and he says he WILL have to worry about it, meaning he thinks we WILL be driving kids to suicide with our...

Our complaints are with biased forum moderators. They do not "give us" the game, which, by the way, was not "given" to many of us. We paid for it. Oh, also, Systems 2.0 current balance sucks and doesn't actually do anything to fix the perceived gap between PvP and RP players you have (which...
