Armor and unarmored defenses are both fleeting meta based stuff: armor's efficiency depends massively on its cost and on its resiliency and unarmored defense(such as capsule and/or drone chaff) depends on the automatic targeting of the varied weapons.
In fact any form of defense is useful or...
The starmade optionals:
+ Hull Plating (Exterior Design): you can do exterior design without wasting tons of money on that heavy block.
+ Armor Plates: the best armors are chaff swarm(a lot of tiny or medium ships to distract) and volume and you are unlikely to start having low shp if you are...
I believe there is a way: make like 50 different cannons with different computers all in a line and fire all of them at once(either logic or them being on a turret).
Or you could just use beam like the others.
I would like to see ships that are made for off sector fighting that does not works when loaded: it would make so interesting stuff once you watch.
Also making the optimal for both off loaded sector and in loaded sector be the same means that players will after some time have murderkill armies...
I think a server with a ship size cap at 100 and a station size cap at 1000 as well as a limit to the number of entities of a ship and on the number of ships per player could avoid lag indefinitely provided the network is good.(delay created by distance can not be fixed)
I do not like lag either.
It is just that people in servers that does not caps ship size low enough ends up stacking enough advanced armor to do the same thing as my capsule armor plan but does so at a higher cost.
On the other hand I should probably mix the two tactics for not having too ugly...
The point of capsule armor is not exactly to tank with hit points: most weapons are either manually shot(in which case the opponent have to aim at the right things) or they are automatically shot.
if the weapons are automatically shot the capsules can distract the aiming and if the weapons are...
What I was saying is that the average value of a bloc of an asteroid is high: the normal blocs are worth 30 credits and the ore blocs are worth usually like 1000 credits(due to dropping 10 ore when you are mining in an area that is of your faction)
The average value of one of the blocs of my...
Unless it have more average value per bloc than asteroids I do not see people bothering to harvest the dust cloud.
And creating stuff people will not bother with during a battle decrease the performances during the battle with no overall gain for the game
You would need many changes to the mechanics of the game.
1:Cap the size of bases or else you can just hide the other bases within the homebase.
2:Limit docking to the bases or else you can just hide the other bases within ships docked on the homebase.
3:Make so that players 933 sectors away...
I was more thinking of having each faction pick one special option in a list and have the right to use a faction specific bloc.
so it could be a list with:
1:Lava reactor(some kind of part done with a lot of lava and which have some useful properties)
2:fusion rudisplork(see lava reactor but it...
Personally all the servers that removes stick shops just ends up having the players doing everything by mining and crafting and did not result into that fabled "economy" because in fact for economy to arise we need the players to have different needs from each other and that does not usually...
Power system right now is hard.
the first thing to know is that there is generator blocs and stabilizer blocs.
generator blocs does energy(only the biggest clump of generator is taken in account for energy production calculation) and stabilizer blocs allows the generation to be more stable(if it...
I believe integrity is per system and not shipwide(or else you would just make a giant cube of capsule somewhere then ignore integrity for all the rest).
Anything that involves lava gets my support.
Maybe lava works in the XYZ maxing per group fashion but you would also place a lava core(that would cost a lot) for the lava that boosts efficiency of close lava so that when lava is too far from the lava core it becomes less efficient thus...
