This could work well with my idea on arithmetic logic blocks, described here: http://starmadedock.net/threads/arithmetics-and-logic.6423 Essentially you could assign warp gates belonging to the same faction a numeric code. Then, if an arithmetic logic block passes a numeric code to a warp gate...

Meh, valid point. When you think about it tetras, heptas and the like still take up a full 1x1x1 cube of space with regards to block placement (eg you can't put two wedge shapes together to make a cube because both would be occupying the same cube place). So if they're going to take up a block...

So my question is, if you have multiple artificial gravity blocks on a ship or station, and you trigger one to enable/disable/change direction of gravity, does this affect other astronauts on your station or just you? I guess I'm trying to figure out whether the gravity blocks merely affect...

Yeah, cause just imagine the tears when some poor bastard just finished the final touches on his sector-long titan, and some noob in a 3-block pod comes flying in from Goddess-knows-where, hits the retros too late, nails him broadside and blows his $#!7 into the next galaxy. Us EVE Online...

Agreed, because some languages are just pitfall traps when it comes to mistranslations, especially if you try and translate directly. Anime fans have a somewhat intimate relationship with this due to the hilarious phenomenon that is bad fan-subbing, because people don't realize that you're...

Well, the underlying idea is to make building ship-controlled logic systems more practical. To me building an AMU out of logic blocks is a cool novelty exercise but not very practical due to the amount of space it takes up and the work going into it. Not to mention that the meter blocks are the...

I think cores should still be vulnerable to astronaut weapons but not ship weapons, to encourage boarding parties and other acts of piracy, especially if we end up getting improvements to out-of-ship movement and combat like some people are discussing. In other words, we need to ensure that...

Hel~lo! I'm Auriga Nexus, but just call me Auriga or Aurie if you're feeling lazy. I'm a 24-yr-old Computer Information Systems major from Laramie, WY who has been addicted to space combat simulators since playing Freelancer in the sixth grade, crafting/survival games since Don't Starve a year...

I think that what we should have is a block-shaping system that works based on 3d geometry. So, for example, if you have your bog-standard cube, you can slice it it to make either a) two wedges, b) a penta and a tetra, or c) a corner and... some scrap maybe? And also have it to where the...

Yeah those will work too. The Constant Block I was already thinking of... instead of it being just an entry textbox however, why don't we make it a keypad block instead? Like, when you press R, it shows a keypad on screen with the numbers 0-9. You type in the number setting and hit Enter to set...

Build kamikaze fighter out of warheads. Die gloriously for your Emperor. Respawn. Rebuild. Repeat. Banzai b****es.

How about a weapon effect, like say "Phase Shift", that allows all or part of a weapon's damage to bypass shields entirely? To keep it balanced the Phase Shift effect would decrease overall damage AND increase overall power consumption; also since you cant have two effects at the same time...

So this is an idea that I had to add additional functionality to the logic system, making it more practical in use. Because even if you could design arithmetic circuits using purely boolean logic, it would take a LOT of blocks and a LOT of work, and may not exactly be practical for logic-based...

I've been experimenting on circuits for a bit, and I've noticed that people have already built functional timers/counters, as well as bit storage. I want to know how to build a bitwise incrementor/decrementor circuit that would work for an 8-bit stack. Essentially what I want to do is to be...
