Negative mass? Did you build a warp drive with it?

Yes, you could get into a blind spot and slowly rip the ship apart. However, you'd have to be small enough to dodge fire yet large enough to break through the shields of the other ship. Oh, and you've got to hope that the pilot doesn't just go ahead and warp out.

Maybe the docking timer got removed, it's been awhile since I played.

No, you get the 5 second docking timer. Although it might be 3s instead. I don't know.

A difference, RedAlert_007, you seem to be forgetting quite readily. Your suggestions universally improve PVP, the side of the game you like most, without doing anything to aid (Or even harming) the building/PVE sides of the game. For instance, changing homebase protection might very well make...

And if we could all present debate-points like that, this would be a useful discussion. Thank you, Jojomo.

Cluwne bugger off or catch the facetious tone. I don't object to being blunt and honest, I DO object to such statements because they're selfish and pointless. Schine is not going to jump when you say so and ask "How high?" on the way up. So my post was a HIGHLY exaggerated alternative method...

I think you meant "Hey extremely busy and much-appreciated developers, it would be nice if you could inform us about the status of the connected textures thing, possibly chime in with an opinion, and, even better, possibly add connected textures sometime in the nearish future."

Ehhh.....Probably not. Not unless you've got the drone power to one-shot a hostile vessel completely, or to accomplish some other goal (Bringing down shields in bursts to accompany alpha-strike ship weapon? But then you still need the drones to charge their own power reasonably quickly...)

I agree, though aesthetics is a highly personal-opinion-based thing. I don't really like the look of separated meter-cubed blocks everywhere. It's just sort of...eh.

Whammy, keep the logic out of it. That belongs somewhere else. [/sarcasm]

This would be a highly useful idea. I don't play with larger factions on multiplayer servers mostly because I've always been more of a loner (and haven't played much at all recently but also because I don't generally trust people. This makes it a lot easier to trust people. Well, it makes it...

Just for fun, rate this post Funny if your opinion has changed at all, and Disagree if it has not been changed by this discussion. Just a neat little social experiment for people to realize what happens when almost completely subjective phrases are traded back and forth along with ad hominem...

I say that that would be OK, but you need to make a decision soon so I can start building ships for that server.

No, actually. Very much no. Your ship designations are subjective, JinM, just like everyone else's---most people consider a 300 meter ship to be somewhere between "line vessel" and "small cruiser". Also, they roll slowly anyway, no need to have them set roll speed lower. In order to AVOID...

Nah---again, it'd be willfully sacrificing some or even a lot of your mobility, depending on how persistent and knowledgeable the pilot of the larger vessel is. If they've got proper turrets you're liable to get killed regardless. Taking damage should NOT force you to wave off---you're the...

Yeah, if he wants colors. Ultimately, it's an aesthetic thing, and aesthetics are a matter of opinion.

Again: Your first point is in the OP. If it's not clear, somebody please point out to me what might be done to make it clearer. As for the in-combat thing, one of the most major uses of this thing is in combat. The trick is to remember that you're sacrificing most of your mobility for the...

That would be the whole "industrial look", Thadius. They're not supposed to be colorful.

I find none of your objections convincing, and enforce my reality on the world! But seriously: I SPECIFIED that there will be no "bigger ship pacing small ships" because of thrust disadvantages----the bigger ship will almost CERTAINLY have less thrust in rotation, pitch, or just standard...
