You're right, dunno where i said that but its wrong :confused: You've gotta know the cloaked ship is around before you can scan, although i don't think large cloakers are really a thing. Cloak gets you a first strike but i don't think they're currently viable for taking on an actual combat...

because you have to build ships for the new config, or are you suggesting devs should waste their time making ships for us? I started thinking of values that would warrant a rebuild but i think what DOESN'T require a rebuild...? If you change any damage value, gotta rework all dem guns...

Man i can't even finish a ship in that time :confused: Omg yes please do this :^D

Thanks for the breakdown. Again, speaking as someone who does not have combat experience with ships this size, i just assume cruiser weapons will turn either of those setups into a fine snortable powder in <1 second. Armored is obviously better for pistols :p If you dont mind providing an...

YES!!! This would be an improvement but i'm more in favor of reworking passive effects to have their own scales, like linear damage mitigation for armor/ion effects to open up ships for more different designs; like armored ships with shallow armor but high mitigation that are completely immune...

Add option to turn weapons on/off to control power drain, have the weapons continously drain power and lose charge if they can't to prevent instakill ships and i think we're good. Could also add batteries instead of capacitors or convert aux into that (would make sense interface ways) that...

We're using tapes now? No wonder my vinyl won't fit in the slot :confused: Your post is hella solid, but there are a few things i think needs to adressed: Focusing on gameplay and failing 100% on the shipbuilding side, precisely because they're only focused on cosmetics/interior decorating...

Sorry i'm super shit at formatting posts, i was quoting you in response to neonsturm :oops: If it's so easy why is it every cosmetic build is such an abject failure at it? What do you want to replace the mechanic with to make it better, because all i've heard is you just want to remove this so...

Option 3: 24 turrets which occupy 80% of the visible surface Your entire premise for this is ridiculous, how about instead of yet another poorly thought out solution to a problem that doesn't exist you explain why your ships shape and layout should have zero impact on functionality. You...

If you're not familiar with modular ships please look at RAI Arbalest Chronos FTL 180K or LRSF-1 Orion This leads to much stronger ships but it can be a bit of a nightmare building them since they're multiple ships woven together; plus once they disconnect they tend to lag a lot. Part of the...

So you're a mindreader? It will emerge based on the description of the system they have provided. What on earth is your problem with that? Are you part of the indecision inquisition here to prevent me from making assertations that may conceivably in the future be wrong if the premisses...

I just explained why the new system is going to produce the new post-chandelier meta. You're going to see E-carriers that fill the void with fighters, since those fighters wont cause power issues after they're launched, raising PVP ships to 20x their current strength and doing nothing for RP...

And again no argument, no examples, just more uninformed drivel. By your definition that is a ship with ZERO external plating, composed only of systems and docked entities. It also wouldn't be a solid shape, but a bunch of individual blocks and reactor lines floating around in empty space...

Again with these made up issues. LRSF-1 Orion (800 mass, 230k power regen) RAI Valkyrie (4000 mass, 1mil + power regen) I've seen smaller but don't remember the links, i know there is an x-shaped fighter at around 300 mass with 100k+ regen. Unless you're talking about ultrasmall fighters which...

This is not how a discussion works. Schine asked for a discussion, if all they wanted was a popular vote they could've made a poll, but they didn't. In a discussion you post arguments. The only arguments that's come out of the RP community are less penalty for interiors (valid, but extremely...

Popular vote = what most people on forum want most people on forum = roleplaying, aesthetics and star trek replica builders who have never played the game and have no idea how it works. For reference, see the entire power thread. Schine needs to be strapped to a chair and forced to read through...

Anything based on popular vote is going to be more roleplaying and aesthetics while ignoring gameplay. Why bother, just pile on beach balls and furniture like starbound did.

I already explained this in more details, but dont blame you for not reading the entire thread... Power System Overhaul Proposal I play to solve design problems, when design is made easier, such as removing space limitation, you're eliminating what makes the game fun. Things like designing a...

So you bash my opinion? im AGAINST creative freedom, at least read my posts if you're going to get all offended. Would also be nice if you could adress some of the points brought up instead of doing nothing but whine. Yes its a proposal, im responding to the proposal halfwit, as opposed to you...

the weird ship-in-ship-in-ship thing.
