Well, it could potentially be a missile defense, as well as a long-range anti-fighter weapon that is not affected by AMS. Really though, I want it more because I think that it's cool than because I need it for some role that current weapons do not fill.

Flak weaponry was originally planned for the weapons update, but was cut along with the mine layer. I propose the addition of flak as it's own weapon system, complete with master/slave effects. The function of the basic flak is to fire a shot that will detonate into a number of extremely short...

Probably the asteroid was vaporized when it hit the star destroyers particle shields, and fragments of it were what actually hit it.

Would be quite cool to hit a little ship with a massive cannon and see it fly off into space.

Yea, modern gamers just don't seem to be very smart. They all seem to flock to games with shiny graphics but little depth, and don't have the patience for a game like starmade which- heaven forbid- you need to use your brain every once in a while to enjoy fully. Not to say that space engineers...

That's actually a good point- And I do think that super high damage beams should last a bit longer. But having at least some beams just sort of be instant would still be really nice in my opinion. Something a bit like pulsar gunships from homeworld 2.

Global warming will have killed us all by the time the Charon is finished.....

I have not noticed the duration being any shorter

This is either A: a troll post or B: a post by someone that really needs to spend more time learning about shipbuilding. There is a lot of strategy that goes into shipbuilding, probably more than in space engineers, in which using heavy armor means it takes 20 years to actually damage your ship.

This is, of course, purely a matter of personal taste, but I think that beams would look better if they had a shorter duration- more of a brief pulse than staying on a target for a moment. Anyone else?

Can we make this thread die please? We have 91% of people saying that the meta was NOT better before.

....Do you plan on making use of the sound assets already hidden away in the game files? A lot of them are quite good, and I would hate to see them go to waste.

Which is odd. I mean, usually, something like that would be removed because people were overusing it and being abusive. But if anything, I think that sometimes people, myself included, have been a bit too polite in not calling out BS. I have seen very few negative ratings on posts in my rather...

What use is longer range when your projectiles are too slow to hit anything?

But missiles spread their damage out over an area, meaning they still can't pierce armor as effectively. And besides that, have you ever seen a single effective craft that uses dumb fire missiles as a primary? Cannon/cannon is just better.

I feel as if I have not done a very good job expressing myself, and thus the criticism that I have gotten is justified. I think that I should try and make myself more clear. What I am talking about has more to do with the primary weapons on ships and turrets and what role that puts them in. For...

I doubt that I am alone in thinking that a single weapon system should not be able to serve all of your ships needs. One should have to use different weapon combos for different things. Now, we do have some of this- cannon pulse is certainly not what one wants for anti-fighter weapons. But their...

I don't think that adjusting power should change how a system functions, it should just change how effective it is. If you give a cannon 50% of it's max power, it should run at 50% of it's fire rate and damage. Instead, one should simply be able to tell a system that it is allowed to use x % of...

Building a ship that works is incredibly easy. core+power block+thruster and your done. Making a super effective ship is hard- as it should be. If you won't put in effort, you should not have the best ship. And if you don't like building ships, you really should be playing a different game. The...
