I keep hearing there is a lot of block physics optimisation coming for next patch, maybe that will help.

It's really weird, because I'm running one of the best CPU's for gaming money can buy, and it's still capping at 100% core load whenever I try to add or move a shield block on my ship and causing huge lag spikes. :(

:D One of my favourite trek episodes of all time, I love any eps where the Borg get screen time, specially the combat, but this one was just awesome.

Yeah I saw that some time ago, the turrets I'm currently working on have a 10x10 face on the surface, but extend 30 blocks back into a recess in the hull behind it, allowing a nice amount of power, but little visible "noise".

Federation vessel detected in grid two-nine-five. Pursue and assimilate. Resistance, is futile. Cool! I'll post details here also when I'm ready to set things up, wont be too soon though, pretty busy at the moment.

Another random question - does a Bobby AI module control systems placed in the 3^3 cube surrounding it, or just the 6 faces they can touch?

Absolutely! But it'll have to wait for a while until my fleet is ready and I've got some station design done, also I'll need to find a few other players interested in it, whilst I have confidence that my ships can stand up to a federation onslaught, it would be pretty boring to play multiplayer...

Yeah there is still a lot of greebling to do, as well as indenting turret sockets and some all around tidying up. Just wanted to give a little preview of what the hull design is based on - and I do say based, because there will be turrets (not giant obnoxious ones sticking out though) and other...

I'd like to share a couple images of the outer hull design in progress, just to give people an idea of what it'll look like. For this carrier ship I'm trying to recreate the look of the Borg Tactical Cube's hull armour plates, as well my own other additions. The flat black areas on covered in...

I always apply fixed framerate to 60 on any game - you can't physically notice a framerate above that anyway, so it's useless. In any case, my GPU isn't breaking a sweat at all, even with framerate fix turned off and running at silly high FPS - I have software that monitor's my GPU and CPU...

It's definitely not a texture issue, lag isn't affected by looking in any particular direction, and my graphics card isn't breaking a sweat. It's also lagging like a mother every time I load up the game with my ship in it, capping my CPU at 100% load, takes about a minute or so for the ship to...

WIP screenshot - view of the internal hangar from the main entrance, very close to finishing it, then i'll be moving onto hull design and weapons systems. Ship build is ~60% complete as of now.

No I mean the shield displayed on my ship are higher than it's current max capacity, it is displaying 9.31m out of 9.26m. Weird? Also, I checked the RAM stats, I'm nowhere near hitting my RAM limit according to the game, it's just maxing out my CPU and causing the FPS to drop massively...

Also.. what is wrong with my ship, higher shields than the shield limit, wat?

Whilst constructing my capital ship, I've noticed extreme spikes in FPS lag every time I place more shield blocks after reaching about ~1m blocks. The lag is getting spikier and spikier the more I place, and also started for some reason giving me a "shields are down" warning when I'm placing...

Good lord, that formatting.

Sure it will, if you want every light source to be blue :) We need wedges for every block, or every light source block at least.

Wedges for every block please, especially lights, can't count the amount of times a design has gone to the trash can just because you can only get wedges for a very select few blocks.

Another WIP screenshot, the outside entrance to the carriers internal hangar, you can just about make out one of the docking spires inside. Each spire has 20 docking hardpoints, and there are 4 of them in total, allowing the internal bay to hold up to 80 Light Fighter type vessels. Not sure...
