The miners absolutely interfere with each other. The fleets go after the same asteroid, and attempt to mine it from the same positions, resulting in a very great deal of collision checks, followed by a great deal of collisions. Inevitably, they'll manage to get the asteroid moving, and then...

Odd, it is supposed to work, and did work when I tried that a few days ago. (is possible I just got lucky, and slagged the faction computer) Lemme do a test-run, see if the hotfixes haven't borked something. (or, if it is just being in a fleet doing the screwing) EDIT: Hmm, a thought occurs...

Not really. NPC fleets are only, lemme stress this, ONLY spawned at the completion of an NPC "turn" (there's even a command to force one, that's how important the turn is) Pirates, however, very very rarely spawn additional ships from their ships being shot. What most likely happens it this...

Aye, some of it is superstition. On the other hand, I literally gave a BP of a perfectly working drone (had just demonstrated it) to a friend, and the little shit refused to even attempt to work. Finally got sick of fucking with it, built a new one by hand in the exact same pattern, and it...

I've not yet reached the point of needing to re-fleet. I have, however, occasionally had to recall and tell 'em to mine again.

There's been a lot of training accidents. (I think over half the deaths thus far were from training) More than a few mis-jumps into a Star. (Calhoun, Calhoun, Calhoun again, Me, one of my attack fleet tests) Oh, and NPC fleets near constantly flying through stars, but as they weren't loaded...

Y'know, I'd love to have thrusters scale like Capacitor. It won't punish anyone, it'll boost every design currently out there, and those who like doing the minimum neccesary thrust can go even lower on their percentage of ship to thruster. Meanwhile, the rest of us won't feel like we're flying...

Yeah, that'd probably be better. Thank you!

Just commenting, you may want to have Crusade update the OP with that link, I got lucky and remembered that you'd posted it several pages in, and went looking.

Man, I begin to wonder if it keeps dropping from malice aforethought, of if you've just gotten really, really unlucky. I'm leaning towards the luck explanation, because I've caught a few things like this in several games. (just an un-ending run of "errors" that crash it, when nothing I do or...

Actually, in my single player world they spawned just fine, and I've been running that world for the last 3 updates. On the other hand, on three different servers I've been to, the NPC factions would not spawn. (this may be due to them being run on Linux. I know one was, as it had just switched...

Awwright!

Got on for a few minutes, seems the server has/is choking on a battle between the Traders Homestation, it's guard fleets, and a Pirate ALPHA station a few sectors over. EDIT: this may actually be my connection derping out again. 1AM is about the right time for that. At least the pirate ships...

Sounds like fun. Sorry I wasn't on today, was doing shit on a different server, (mostly helping a friend get set up) and then I got busy watching Raiben.

I quite agree, and I'm even one of the crazies that was installing 10 or so of those single-module jump drives, (usually alongside one large anti-interdiction drive) before chaindrives. I'd just charge them while running a logic-miner, or while tranisting through a warp-gate network. (or...

Surprisingly, the biggest problem with AI and "ramming" into one another, is that the AI doesn't bother paying any attention to what anything other than it's chosen target is doing. (save, perhaps, for whether something else is a better/closer target) So, for example, an Isanth tracking a...

Ah, so the truth is that you want an AI that can only stop working after it's bobby module,[ hidden behind 5 (possibly 9) faction modules via docked-hull chicanery,] gets popped, and not, say, from getting it's RAM shot to shit (which would simply cause it to shoot anything hostile, instead of...

Indeed you did Slobo, I was trying to use Radar-Jammer as an example of one of the many other blocks the AI is too damn dumb to use. I had thought I'd made that clear, but I guess your English really is that bad, and that my anger at yet another thread about anything to do with AI, when there...

TL:DR for those of you that hate exposition: If pirates could use a radar-jammer, you would never see the pirates coming untill the first hits strike your ship. Then, being jammed, you would not have the indicators pointing to them, so you would spin in an endless circle trying to find them...
