Two things- Doesn't this force everyone to armor tank? If you can only have as much shields as your armor allows, that defeat's the point of shield tanking. What would power be based on? would you have infinate power, until you added to many system blocks? Or would it be the old system with...

I like it. I had a longer reply but I went off WiFi and it didn’t save D:

I think I used that video for a school project once.

If you base it on volume:mass people will make sponge shields. If it’s on mass to volume people will make armor bricks with weapons attached, and balancing thruster power vs effect and mass vs power would be impossible.

Because A- It's farly rediculous to see a single pixel-light missile tank a main battery cannon fire B- It's a lot easier to build a bigger missile than it is a bigger turret.

Why not just stablizers and reactors(and chambers)? Needing conduit connections kills floaty designs. I guess it would work if we had an "extender" that had high resistance(Or some other limiting method) but allowed you to have invisible conduits to a point x far away. So it would be E) (F...

The thing is that chambers don't use power, they use RC. And RC/=Power. The cost of cloaking is slower speed, less tank, a weaker JD, worse scanners, or less damage. Which is probably worse.

With the chamber update we could nerf weapons so the 20:1 ratio would be impractical, without chambers. The current meta would just be lots of weapon chamber and a little max speed chamber. That would make it a trade off between health and damage. A miner doesn't need weapons, so it gets a...

And what weapon actually kills a ship in one hit? Maybe checkerboarded, layered missiles, but besides that the burst damage will probably be from overdrive CC or something else that doesn't overpen or waste explosive damage.

But you're still using them majority of your TP, that you could be used by other people to get super strong tank in AHP or shield. Or JD strength, or weapons damage, or speed(range control), or scanners.

Does that mean i can test chambers?

One thing that the chambers seem to be missing is offensive effects. We have utilities, max speed and JD and bouncers, defensive stuff through all the defensive effects that are now chambers, but we don't have any offense things like +damage or +reload, or maybe(code permitting) + charges. Then...

Really to your liking, and mine, and all the people who want ground vehicles. I'm gonna be messing with those when the update comes out.

That's only if you just docked it I think. It worked when i tried it.

You can do this just with a rail launcher on one entity and a rail docked point thing on the other. It shoots out, then immediately docks again. It works on stationary ships, I haven't tried them while moving.

Just keep the mass limits low and tell people to avoid ramming. Also have some pre made designs on the server.

Hey, it works in EVE. Why can't it work here.

But shield caps take no power at all, they only increase your max shield. What's stoping me from filling the officer's mess with ionic stablizers and making my ship twice as tanky.

Now that the stream has dropped let's imediately spam the devs with suggestions of chamber ideas. I'll start with this: Inertal Web Increases /Beam weapon range, projectile speed and damage by 50%. Reduces max speed and Acceleraton by 90%. Must reboot to change state. Deactivates positive...

Found it for you: Make beam array "Bend" them forward 5 blocks Art your way past their 3 block thick armor.
