The shell of a small cargo ship with a surprisingly big cargo hold.

Seems like you're bad at making points then. Maybe you have non?

As I see it you're distracting from your unlogical argumentation and lack of thought you put into them. I'm not even sure why I'm answering since you will accuse me of distracting again. And that's why I just directly follow up with the answer to your question about the 1-km long freighter to...

You have a really confusing mindset. Do you think we want small npc ships with 30+ layers of armor in front? Do you think it is possible to make armor work without putting armor on a ship? Do you think buffing thin armor layers wouldn't make small ships unbearable tanky? Your posts don't make...

We actually tried that first and I am pretty sure we would still add it if it would work. Having the ships hp bar reflect the state of all systems is preferable to just the reactor.

There should be an update for dev build that has newer config values that probably fix the armor situation. Also I'm pretty sure you have to use the dev build because if I remember right there are some changes to the calculations (by schema) that are needed for it to work. I don't think they...

Just a friendly reminder that the configs in the dev build are always a bit outdated. If you find any weird behaving things you should consider testing it again on the quickfire server.

Tbh I have no idea. Saber seems to do a lot with KSP these days and goes to space themed trips with attached streamers. The main issue at the moment is that we are still in the process to work on the balance with the quickfire config, so running a contest doesn't make much sense if the ships end...

Since you aren't a schiney anymore you can enter it for sabers community contracts once he starts them. :davetongue:

I would say the the proper way to compare ships are resource cost. But that is a bit complicated. Might get more common once survival is more than just clicking asteroids.

I agree and disagree at the same time. Starmade is not realistic and shouldn't really try to be. Forcing people to build a realistic engine setup might cause a lot of problems not only with ship design but also gameplay (not even talking about bugs). Strafing combat is kind of silly at least at...

I really have a hard time to get any clearer. Undermining Power 2.0 is the goal of this. It is a terrible system. It restricts creative building by making the ships ineffective if they don't follow obnauxious design rules and all the pvp ships don't care and just make their vertical power stick...

You're right. The current level size is not a great mechanic for smaller ships but I think we are currently only able to set one size of steps if we use the linear mode in the config which limits our ability to make that adjustment. To be honest if we were able to we would've removed the reactor...

Ok I clear this up for you. We're not inviting people for debating, we're inviting people to give us feedback. Things we managed to do with this approach: -> Improving on the config values to a point where combat is going in a direction that looks like it could make the game fun again and...

Yeah armor is currently too strong which is a weird problem that starmade never had. We're still trying to get armor to a point where it scales better for different sizes. Shield adjustmenst will likely follow to bring them on equal level. Things in general still change a lot.

I just quote myself here: We're still changing it. You're misinterpreting buffed shields as increasing numbers for shields. It might be a surprise for you but if weapons are getting weaker shields in comparison get stronger. If you look at the picture you posted at the shield upkeep you'll...

Or you simply decloak the ships with a scanner and shoot incoming bombs with ams...

We aren't piranhas, we simply dealt with a lot of these problems for some time now. We (mostly Ith because he's a boss) even made a whole big document about the problems of the current systems (with a lot of pvp player input) and why the pvp meta is that terrible to show Schine what is wrong...

The main reason why we didn't touch that too much yet is because we know from multiple talks with Schema that these effects will likely play a big role in the universe update (Ion storms, Nebulas, etc.). Because of that simple fact we didn't want to encorporate it into the base balance of the...
