So I've been working on a torpedo bomber and managed to get things working pretty well with some help from people on the forums, but much to my disappointment, when I launched my first torpedo at a local pirate base it only destroyed 2 or 3 blocks. WTF? Those warheads used to do a lot more...

Got it to launch properly, but the damage still sucks. Thanks for the help kiraen. Once they fix warheads this ship will be a force to be reckoned with.

Okay, so I've been working on a torpedo bomber and I've come across a few issues: 1. Launching the torpedoes doesn't seem to be working. I've set up an inner ship remote for each torpedo which is slaved to the rail that the torpedo is docked to. Yet when I hit the remote on the hotbar, nothing...

I've seen a few threads like this now, and I like the idea in general. Seeing as I like to build and fly a lot of fighters, I find that generating a lot of energy in a small ship can be challenging at times, so this could be a viable solution for many of my short range fighter designs...

I think there should be dedicated ships for pirates and trade guild. Pirate ships should look more menacing and junky IMO, and tg ships should have freighters with sleek looking escort fighters.

Also just noticed that shift v doesn't multiselect shipyard modules, this needs to be a thing.

So I've put in a fair amount of time playing around with my new shipyard, but one thing does get on my nerves a bit. Once you load a design, you have to travel to your virtual core on your holoship to enter build mode. Why not just go straight to build mode from the shipyard computer if there's...

Not sure I'd want this to use blocks though, that could get really big really fast. Someone also suggested a similar system a while back, but using a flowchart of sorts. You just drop the conditions and behaviors into the chart at hit run program.

There is an option to filter out docked entities in the nav menu if seeing the cores on your ship's doors and elevators bothers you that much. I keep it toggled off myself, some ships have lots of them and they clutter up the nav screen.

If I were to build such a ship, it would be comparable to Red Dwarf, which is 11 km long by 6 km wide by 5.5 km tall! That's gargantuant! Plus it has no weapons seeing as it's a dedicated mining ship. It would have to rely on smaller ships to defend it, would move like a slug, and manuver like a...

Wasn't this supposed to happen in the capital ship update?

"3rd technician Dave Lister, reporting for duty." Because someone has to clean the gunk out of the chicken soup dispenser. I like this. Make it so.

+1 Been pushing for this for a while now. Can't stand having a weapon I call the Armageddonator that fires a laser pointer sized beam.

Needless to say taking a direct hit from ship weapons and surviving would be too much, but being able to soak some damage from anti personel turrets would be okay.

Getting back to plasma weapons discussed in a previous post ( can't be bothered to find it on my phone right now) plasma weapons could apply a damage over time effect to exposed hull, like a plasma fire of sorts. Shouldn't hurt shields thought, that would be op.

I'd like a personal shield generator over body armor myself. Keeps with the sci-fi theme better and they regenerate over time.

Agreed. Heat seeking tech is last generation even today, and generally indescriminate as to what targets they seek out. I find that unless you build a massive heat seeker array the damage isn't really spectacular. I'd prefer better targeting over massive damage anyway, seeing as a tend to slave...

Like the idea, but I have to agree with Divine on this one. Instead of a block you could have all these settings put into the AI menu. You could have it so the AI patrols around a selected entity, say a ship or a station, within a set distance.

Saves me from having to build a new version of a ship just to have a repaint of one. +1

As cool as it would be, especially as welding is what I do for a living, I think this would be better off as a gadget you can use as an astronaut. The astrotech beam pretty much does just that.
