Sudden and massive recalculations of hitbox, graphics, placement, physics, you name it, the CPU's gotta do it, every block that mesh moves. And, to throw a tiny bit of icing, it's also gotta calculate dimensions for it. So yeah, placing that mesh lags. It's gonna lag even if (and possibly more!)...

Sorry I wasn't clear. Cannons and Beams both have issues with actually hitting targets in their way (if I read bug reports/updates correctly, and correctly interpreted what has happened on my games), especially under laggy conditions; as I understood the update notes, they've fixed a problem...

Check update before responding further to this thread. Lol this update just outdated much of the info on this thread: cannons and beams are no longer bugged (assuming update notes are correct and I didn't misread) with hitting and raycast. For large ships .... all the above advice is good. You...

I regret to inform you that we are warping in several capital ships to deal with your puny little build, because we completely unfairly dislike it. Have a nice day.

Niiiiice. I'm one of the ones who's going to enjoy these optimizations, cause I can lag a home server with 200m ships duelling with one other player online. Plus a couple AI vessels. Also, loading into it is not fast.

Cool interior. It looks like it needs wings - you've got that drop-back tail section, and I think it would help if you had short anhedral wings, kind of like the UNSC Pelican but with an F-4 Phantom II-style downturn on the tips. So, a short straight section then a down slope. Or something like...

That's really cool. Nice ship.

That's an amazing ship build, absolutely amazing. I love the detailing; it's clean, and yet interesting to look at. It's not overwhelming or underwhelming, and it just looks sweet. Just an epic design. I might actually need to go and spend the effort to download it ... hmm.... Lol, I don't...

You guys all need to back off each other. What's done is done, and is going to stay done. No need to dredge up old arguments for any reason, in any post, even if somebody else does so. Leave their ill-natured comments hang, and go on with something more helpful. Because really, these forums see...

If you're doing curves, the first rule is, blocks. Place'em, find what you like/don't like/burned your eyes out, and fix it or keep it. Keep going til it curves right. Other than that ... well .... if you're working on any large scales and want absolute symmetry, well, dangit, the ellipse tool...

That's just awesome. Keep'em coming. I might have to touch up my Vengeance-class missile cruiser and set it on CC ... I think it'd look cool, though tiny, up there. It's over 250 meters long, but some of those things ... dang ... I've gotta up my scale. A lot.

I was indeed talking about the ventral box structure. Good luck with the rest of this!

As I recall the Paris class did indeed have ODST drop pods. No clue where though, but it was somewhere near the underside vehicle bay. Also, if you build a turret, it HAS to have 2 axes of rotation; otherwise the AI will behave as a ship. And if the turret can't point directly at it, it can't...

Blasted real life got in the way of my procrastinating, and I had less time than I expected to build anything. Oh well, next time I'll procrastinate a little harder and have no excuse. The time after that.... well, I might get one drone built...

Amazing vessel. Probably the best large vertical ship I've ever seen (I've seen like two others above frigate-size, or heck even corvette-size, but this is even better, and those were done by skilled builders (And one of them was EVE)). Can't wait to see some more!

So, for weaponry: have a LOT of computers to your Archer emitters. AI will fire them all rapidly, without such a huge power cost (though if you build them big enough to be realistic it'll still be huge); otherwise, click through them all fast and keep'em coming. For 70 launchers, 10 different...

Awesome stuff. Great work!

The classification systems in the real world were, and are, always meant to differentiate in relative terms between dissimilar vessels. That's why there's never going to be the StarMade class system. I build on one scale, you build on another, the one that makes sense to you. Hence the fact that...

Depends on what sort of PDTs you're working with. In Halo, it's cannon. Most certainly.

Lol, I hit over 10k mass (iirc) on my new large-ship-build and I'm aiming for less than 500m, but it's advanced armor and over 20k blocks, I believe. Don't quote me on these numbers; I'd have to look. The idea is to match and defeat Vaygr's stupid 142k mass monstrosities on LvD.
