2000 drones vs a titan should be possible in sectors that are unloaded. Second of all you wouldn't need nearly as many as you are stating to kill a titan. The only way that number makes any sense is if you are an absolutely terrible builder at small scales.

IMO you should wait and see what the fleet system looks like before you go making that kind of statement, since we're supposedly getting it in at least a partial state next release. Mass limits aren't happening

There should be a button that says upload a file on the reply bar, click that and you can attach a pic to your post.

i made this for a tournament that was supposed to happen on another server based off of a picture of a basic frame the tourney holder posted i never finished it but shoulders, arms, and head were rails. Legs were a docked gen with some articulation

Probably my biggest beef with turrets. They really shouldn't be better shots than a player in most circumstances

just consider it heavy fighter and call it a day. it looks kind of big to me but to a lot of people its pretty small

IDK what the exact metric was but iirc A smaller group of ships at like...half? 3/4ths? the bigger ships mass will always win. Higher turn rate vs the bigger ship's slower turning speed is their death knell, from what I have seen. It's even worse if you get a bunch of small ships together and...

Oddly its been the opposite for me. I've literally only been killed while testing small ships by missiles.

Ships eat fuel. He isn't sidetracking your suggestion at all

Again, it depends on what people think 'small' is. I'm not saying all smaller ships are garbage. When I talk small I refer to ships < 2-3k blocks with compact dimensions. In situations like that building bigger is a straight upgrade aside from turn speed.

Like Jaas said the previous values were OP. But the current values for it are bugged. 1 block of docked thrust gives less than the same block on the mother ship, if that makes sense. so once they fix it ships with docked thrusters should be a bit faster but not as fast as they were before this...

only if you're a masochist it really depends on how 'small' you're talking, but ships on the lower end of the scale are effectively inferior to basically everything outside of being able to out turn bigger ships

i went and double checked on a whim and it looks like you get less thrust from docks now than just sticking the thrust on the main ship. as far as i know previous value was not intended, no idea if its supposed to be like this though. 1.2 mass with 4 thrusters on mothership and 4 on dock, 2...

beforehand docked thrust was independent of the main ships thrust. it basically took the thrust of the dock and then just added it to the main ship. so you could get a higher thrust after a certain point with docks(this was considered an exploit). with the new update the thrust you get from...

EDIT: I got this thread confused with another, disregard

swarmers, swarmers, everywhere

If anyone played X3, there was something like this where certain types of ships were not allowed in core sectors below a certain racial rep level. If that's what you were aiming for OP, I think that would make sense logically. Who'd be ok with some random guy jumping into your sector with a...

If this does happen, plz consider going with Spunkies suggestion and giving higher damage missiles lower acceleration or something its pretty silly I can shoot down a nuke with a laser pistol tbh. who needs PD when you can command a bunch of daves to sit on the wings of your ship. The same...

This. That way you have options and prevents situations like, "well this 15000 block missile is flying at me at 300m/s and I don't do enough damage to shoot it down, gg"
