Will the weapons update change or remove the weird "firing arc" feature that lets guns fire sideways and makes evasive action pointless anywhere in front of a larger ship?

As far as I'm aware, not currently. I don't know how deeply Schema has coded the "one AI per entity" thing into the code but given the age of the BOBBY AI block (really frickin old), I'd guess it's one of those annoying things like ship cores that make no sense on the outer gameplay surface, but...

This sounds annoying as heck to work with.

TBH, we can get by without shipyards, but shops really need some love ASAP.

This recently popped up on Phabricator. Hopes are rising at least slightly. ⚓ T2889 Ship Yard Bugs This looks like SmilingDemon is collecting up and testing shipyard bugs in preparation for a fixfest. I could be wrong, but we can hope.

It's still in Alpha. LOL

This is about how it was a few years ago, just more complicated than it was then.

LOL maybe I should have said "relatively" focused. In other words, Schema's developing ONE area of the game only. I'm guessing fixes will happen with or after the weapon update. As I've said before, I would consider the overall "systems update" half-done and half-released.

I suspect the game is currently (and over the next few few weeks or so) in a stage of rapid, focused development, and I’m fine with that. The weapon update needs to be finished yesterday. Once the new weapon update is done, I really hope Schema stops to do some fixing and tweaking before he...

There's something to be said for keeping a few proof-of-concept features working even while breaking new ground. I understand that some things will be changed or replaced in the future, but for a game with open alpha, just leaving things for later isn't really an option, at least not a good one...

I'm going to have to say that's a bug.

This may point to the need for a completely different set of systems for stations/planets/anything that isn't mobile.

Inputs/controls kind of deserve re-skins for immersion. Other than that, yeah keep the set motif.

They are kind of ugly now that you mention it.

Scanning for rare ores in some games is a lot of fun. That type of gameplay definitely has a place in Starmade.

Bug report? I doubt such a feature would be removed by design.

There is no longer an agree button, but if there were, I would smash a planet into it.

Oh nice. We have a new ore scanner. Now make it useful by hiding what kind of ore is in asteroids! Right now there's no point in using the ore scanner except maybe on planets. I expect this will happen with the universe update.

Yo code cat! What have you been up to lately? We miss your dev blogs. https://starmadedock.net/threads/dev-blogs.30378/

We used to get monthly updates of progress and plans, and that was awesome. Schema should definitely start doing that again.
