Let damage pulse primary ignore shields -- swords can be a viable tactic, especially with small cloaking ships. Damage pulse/beam should be 3km, shield-piercing beam with a duty cycle of 1/10; damage pulse/missile should be a dumbfire, shield-piercing missile, and damage/pulse cannon should be a...

Thanks Lord Greyscale, you've got a really informative and useful post. Trying to engineer a slow trickle of new players is different from driving off everyone except for 50 people that play your game. There's literally like 50 or 100 gamers that are actually playing this game right now (at...

OK, the long-awaited Shadow logo of the Tenebris Lux. Obviously very similar, but as you can see this ship is plagued by off-by-one symmetry errors...I need to stop building when I'm tired :p Haven't made a lot of progress on the main ship in the last couple days because... I've been...

What's better than a couple of towers on a battlecruiser? A whole bunch of towers. The free-standing towers will mount turrets on top (probably AMS turrets) and the recessed towers will not. Copy and paste saves the day! Also I decided on a logo for my faction. In keeping with its current...

A quick google reports the Schlock forums (zoo.nightstar) as saying 80 meters, and someone tried to link a comic to back that up, but the link appears broken. Since I'm home, here's a good view of the ship's figurehead and primary turrets. I'll probably wedge the dragon at some later date and...

If you use a Bobby with warheads the drone will do suicide runs on incoming enemy ships. Disadvantage: They show as your faction and enemy turrets automatically shoot them.

Why are you so angry? You very much come across as saying, "We don't want to have players for our game, and we most especially don't want pompous nerds who think they know how to run a business. Good day, sir!" My proposal is to ask Schine to at least consider the impact to you and your friends...

I've been in companies where the clients got so impatient they actually hired third-party investigators to determine whether my employer was actually doing any work at all or just billing fake hours (we were doing the work). I totally understand that nobody likes a half-baked cake. However...

Hey all, I figured I'd get some public input on the cruiser I'm presently building. I was able to sketch together a quick blueprint, and I'll post screen shots tonight. The features on the blueprint are mostly skinned out with grey hull but no modules yet. The whole thing has a length of about...

The suggestion is intended to interest admins and developers, who are more interested in seeing the game grow and flourish than necessarily playing it themselves. However, players are humans, and humans are social animals. We need to feel like part of a group in order to be psychologically...

How many years has the game been in "alpha"? To quote someone who is way better at my job than I am, shipping is a feature. A very important feature. Your product must have it. Schine has already alienated probably everyone in their target market who ISN'T a hardcore space fan, and I can't...

Right that's why I'm proposing they add another frame of reference to their game mechanics list. I have a job, and it pays better than a PR job. Helping newbies is a hobby, like growing tomatoes might be, for example. This is simply false. I am a software engineer, and I've studied game...

So I noticed on the list of six player archetypes that there is something missing. I have to make some assumptions here because I don't have all the information yet, but I am going to assume that the imperialist is focused on global domination. They might interact with other players, but the...
