For a ship 716 m long, or a ship with a mass of 77k?

Is there a name yet for over-ambitious new players with grand plans that won't ever be completed? o_O:-p Controlgamer you might want to use Vox2sm3 instead of SMEdit.

I recently "kidnapped" an npc ship by flying along side it with a ship tipped with a rail, and pushing the rail onto the NPC ship's docker (this unintended possibility is something that I saw in another thread is going to be fixed). Once I'd cut my way in, and cut out the faction block (while...

Gorgeous! Is there a link where I can download it? :^D:-p:^D

So you mean the advantage is that you can have fleets do your selling for you? That does sound like a nice benefit.

I'm not against the idea, I just don't currently really feel that there's a pressing reason to worry about implementing it. Station shops pretty much have it all covered. (I've numbered your points in the quote DrTardis) 1. This seems a very narrow and specific use, I don't feel like it...

Ooh, economy tweaks, great!

Has anyone built an actual 3D holo map? As in a large 3D display showing one or more sectors and the position of everything in it? I.e. a scaled up version of the mini-map that sits in the corner of the screen. I'm certain it's a very common item in sci fi fiction, but right now the only...

Why? New forum member posting in multiple forums that they'll give money to someone who does something for them ("Trust me"), and that 'something' appears to be of no value, not even in SM. I'm very sceptical and suspicious about this.

I know it's not a possibility, and only marginally on topic, but I think I'd really like weapon stats to change with shape, e.g. make them longer for more range, wider for more damage, etc., along those lines. The fact that some ships wouldn't be able to fit some weapons they desired would be...

Apologies Calhoun, yes, you are correct, I was off on another planet: if you're losing hull only then forcefields mean you're losing a smaller percentage of SHP. But.... once there are holes in your hull and you start losing system blocks (while some armour remains) the situation is reversed...

Losses to SHP are proportional to the SHP value of a block. So if you're only losing armour or forcefield blocks from an entity it makes no difference which you use. But if that entity has shields etc and it starts losing those blocks, the SHP losses are proportional to shield SHP values...

Well I won't assume you're wrong until you explain more, but if you replace your hull with forcefields your total structure HP pool will be very significantly less, meaning your entities will be overheating and exploding at the drop of a hat.

Could you elaborate a little? It sounds interesting, but I didn't get the full point you were making.

The alternative is for everyone you visit with your mobile "shop" ship to have their own shop modules on their stations. Only one party needs a shop module...

Because forcefields offer less protection than advanced armour, for the same mass, if you were going to do this you might as well build two layers of hull as separate entities, and give each it's own shields. Assuming Tydeth's explanation is right (I'm assuming it is) then multiple shields...

That'd be fine except that we all know "docked reactor" as a term specifically referring to brick-shaped reactor entities firing a power supply beam. For the sake of people understanding exactly what you're referring to, simply use a different term (e.g. "multiple reactors" like I do)...

Wouldn't this allow ships to regen their own armour HP by spending some credits though?

I have no idea whether you use them or not, and haven't commented on that. You support them though (that's on record for anyone to read, through the link in my previous post). Support for "truly massive turrets" inside the hull, while getting upset about other docked entity types is...
