Because heatboxes are (apparently) just purely a big box, calculations will be relatively light (compared to collision calcs for example).

The problem is it's incomplete. You're getting scared about something you don't even have details for. The (RP) and (PvP) groupings of the community are not the same groupings as the community [in favour of this] and [opposed to this].

Well done, correct! Perhaps you should have told that to Fellow Starmadian when he started posting about how many PvP players would or wouldn't something or other, instead of Liking his post, which is what you did instead. Try to behave consistently, regardless of whether you're responding to a...

Are most of the PvP players against this? What percentage of them have posted here? Are you worried about "chandelier" ships? In other words, are you worried about aesthetics? We'll need more details before being able to predict what efficiency looks like. But it's certainly possible that...

That's just the moisture in your skin evaporating. In cases where evaporation isn't happening, radiation is effectively the only way to dump heat into space. Radiator fins would do the trick (I don't know at what rate).

Why don't you go through the entire thread and table a list of names for and against. Then reassess whether you're able to definitively claim to know what the community wants. And no matter what your results are, remind yourself that you aren't the spokesperson for the community.

As you know perfectly well, my point was that actually yes, I do know how to "design efficiently". It's my job. What units are you interested in for thrust to mass ratio? And why are you interested in it at all? N/t? 200 to 500 kN/t? 0.2 to 0.5 kN/kg? 0.0002 to 0.0005 Typically no weapons...

A company pays me to design real life ships efficiently every day, so I can have money to eat and live in a house. You mean as opposed to the current power system which lets you choose a large triple axis reactor to be efficient, or anything else to be less efficient. And for space you have you...

No, the new system does have efficiency (you can build it efficiently, or inefficiently, or anywhere in between), with more variables to consider and optimise than the current system. And space efficiency will still exist - you'll still try to minimise volume/surface area etc, while balancing...

It's being replaced with another system that has its own efficiency.

I wonder if you intended this reply for someone else? I don't call myself a PvP player because I don't have the experience, but I do min/max. I have zero interest in interiors, and I don't care what this proposal does to aesthetics. No-one is complaining to me. No-one has explained anything...

Volume is not an ability, nor a system. It can't "be nerfed".

No-one is being forced to do any interior design - the OP even says that this proposal won't do that. (I'm one of the people who would complain if I had to build interiors) Nothing is being nerfed.

Of course - all rules force something. The current power system forces large triple armed reactors.

Or exterior empty space (within bounds). Your language wasn't an issue. You were very clear about forced interiors. You even repeated it in the same post. As for NPCs, I personally would be bored to death if I had to build furniture and rooms for NPCs.

I read the quote to read the words he put in your mouth, but couldn't find a single one, either direct or implied. The OP explicitly states that this wouldn't force the addition of interiors. It forces the addition of empty space, internal or external (within bounds), that can optionally be...

I can't see a reason why the proposed system won't reward a particular style - i.e. PvP players will still min/max the new system.

It works but it sounds much more difficult from the point of view of the devs. And speaking only for myself, I don't ever want to *have* to build interiors. I build a bridge, and that's it.

I'm 100% certain that if this proposal was implemented tomorrow, within the first week we'd already see a very clear distinction in style between RP and PvP ships.

As far as I can see, no-one from Schine has stated that there's any desire to "bridge the gap between minmax and RP".
