Just sit in front of a computer block and alt tab to an actual asteroids / space invaders game. Imagination!

There isn't anything stopping NPC shipyards from existing.

spawning a core at spawn and attaching a thruster and power cap to it? From what I have read, Shipyards are only going to be absolutely necessary for larger ships, so there's nothing stopping you from making smaller stuff by hand.

I didn't insinuate you said anything. The flaw in your reasoning is the presumption that smaller ships are designed to 'just' destroy turrets, and that's all they are capable of doing, which couldn't be further from the truth.

IMO build mode outside of shipyards needs to go if only for the fact that you can 'cheat' with it, like looking inside of another ship to check if it has any traps or the like in it before attempting to board it, etc

why is it that every time someone mentions 'small ship', the knee jerk reaction is to picture a fighter with a machinegun? no, a fighter shouldn't be able to damage a cap ship, but that doesn't make them, or bombers, gunships, corvettes, and the like irrelevant, or that they SHOULD be. In a lot...

*Deploy drones to kill bigger ship* *bigger ship jumps out of system* And that's how you waste a boatload of resources.

well, that gives me a few ideas.

This already happens, at least for CC. It's a pretty small minimum, though, more than likely to accommodate for smaller ships.

straw-man aside that's like saying astronauts can kill a cap ship because of torches. I haven't seen masses of people destroying battleships with them lately, have you? on topic though, I don't see how a weak low dmg weapon would make a fighter/other small ships anymore viable. You will still...

-Reduced width by 6m to make docking easier. Manuevers a bit better as a result -reduced combined height by 1m. -Added Rail Docker on the bottom of the ship. -Increased shield regen -increased power cap -Made arm weapons prettier With missile update, the dual launchers now have max damage of...

First off, Daniel L I think you should make another topic if you really want to debate this..this one isn't really for what you are talking about. This game isn't like a single-player shmup like r-type where you can slap a battleships main gun on a fighter and blow through entire fleets. Imagine...

IMO some people have pretty wonky ship classifications, but i would say what thadius is spot on. What you have here looks more along the lines of a heavy fighter/anti-fighter corvette.

I'm trying to figure it out as well. Missiles on the fighter I was testing with went from doing 9k to 50k per the damage screen, but they seem to do negligble damage while having a pumped up energy cost. I think with the missile rework not 100% of that damage is being applied depending on...

id rather have this than people slapping 5 jump drives on their ship, charging them all, then warping into a sector and spamming missiles, then warping away to repeat until everything is dead

Aside from the FX? IMO, that looks extremely boring

Battle, you know you can nest cameras inside of armor? I'm just curious, it's very rare for me to lose a camera

It's possible and already has been done. The main issue is what crash master mentioned. With the new update to missiles in dev its a bit better since your rails all wont be instantly destroyed the instant a missile hits you sub 50 shields..but if you care for maneuverability I would only use...

I'd recommend learning ruby/rails if you have the free time. It's kind of fun and very programmer friendly. I have no idea what Transact-SQL or Redis is though. Going to have to see what those are about. On the bright side you know what they are looking for if the position ever comes up again...
