Then people would just put them together and not require any conduit! ;)

I still want to see this built: From here

"alpha damage on par with a capital ship" sounds pretty much like same maximum damage potential to me... One F18? "I'll take that any day of the week instead of a modern destroyer please", says the frigate captain. The destroyer can throw way more hurt at the frigate that the F18 can, and...

That's only a couple of days though, and any new build could change it. Everyone's free to do what they want with dev builds, but I think investing in them at the moment is premature.

Fair enough, but when they're coming out every few hours they're probably not really being driven by player feedback, and anything you learn is likely to be obsolete soon. I think hoping old ships will play nicely with the new systems is pretty unlikely, and from my perspective it's not a good...

Why do you persistent with using dev builds? They're coming out at the rate of several per day recently, trying to update existing ships to fit them sounds like a recipe for extreme frustration to me.

More accurate to say you can't meet your own expectations for what a ship will look like? You can always add more power... Or wide ships or tall ships or spherical ships - the separation doesn't have to be on the length axis, nor just a single axis. I think maybe the parameter values in the...

True, it would...was just an idea that sprang to mind.

That's a good point about the reactor as a percentage of ship mass. I think it should be pretty large too. I think we need to remember also that, based on what we saw in power 1.0, the devs don't seem to be fans of allowing massive power generation in a ship (at least not without some serious...

Maybe a new dock block: one that holds something in place only. Doesn't cause things to become child/parent.

Which dev build will you do it for? Keep in mind the values may change again tomorrow. Yes, the minimum length you could have is 1m: all reactor blocks on an x-y plane, and all stabilisers on the same plane. Obviously no-one will do that something that extreme, but what is possible is any...

"Only" 50m? If you had to add 50m would you describe it with "only"? Closer to what? It's a very significant drop. I was thinking more like 50%, possibly as low as 20% if you really wanted to avoid length. You don't actually care about stabiliser efficiency. You care about power output...

I don't think refitting the same same systems into the same hull is going to be possible in most cases where the hull was packed full (with enough power to run them). Things have changed a lot all the way down to the foundations. We'd all like our ships to be: producing heaps of power and...

What about the power draw of everything else though? Salvage power draw went up because it was fixed. I suppose my point is that comparing 2 million e/s in the different power systems isn't comparing like with like because power consumptions have also changed, and, because of the salvage...

Is this taking into account the reduced power requirements in power 2.0? I mean if you needed 2 million e/s before you wouldn't need as much in power 2.0....

I think this case might be a little different to most though - it's amusing to put a dislike on a post that says dislikes no longer exist (well, it was for me...)

This isn't correct, stabiliser distances aren't calculated like that (you can test it yourself with a 100 block reactor) 1 million e/s or 1 million blocks?

I'm assuming you mean the entire power system if it has multiple block types, not just reactors on their own? That's a tougher question. Probably both of block counts and dimensions/volume should matter (mass should matter, but it's a function of block counts anyway). If only dimensions were...

200.145 is out, and children are now being protected by the parent's shields again. Better this way I think.
