[philospy} Why does Zektor keep insisting that building a good looking ship that is also functional is impossible, and that asthetics are not important?

Do we get "mystery goo"tm? *science intesifies*

Why not just give systems their own individual system HP pools? Destroy X percentage of a ships thrusters, then the other ones stop working. Could apply to all systems. Or, barring that, nail them with a lot of stop effect and possibly some EMP.

But it's already pointing forward...... oh whatever starmade, FINE< MAKE ME BUILD MY TURRETS BACKWAD!

For some reason, my turrets are pointing AWAY from targets, despite both cores being pointed forward....

Really, the reason that Skylords builds are usually not very effective is that his non-replica ships always seem to have a huge amount of scaffolding, spars, wingy-bits on the end of scaffold, and other stuff like that. It looks really cool, but it means that you can't fit in that many systems...

There is also the "oh god my eyes" factor.

Depends on how big the ship is and how fast you build. My ships take ages (or end up in 80% finished limbo) because I build for a few hours, do something else, then come back and make a few small changes. Repeat until I am more or less happy with how it looks and functions. Even then, it will...

Sekrit dokuments sey that all russian planes were equipped with 2000 rpm 15o milimeter guns, by order of glorious stalin himself. And they are made from stalinium, most stronk material in universe. can be penetrated by nothing.

Now that is definitely USSR logic. "Who cares if it works? It has a really big gun and looks cool, so it's fine!"

You know, I would have thought that if anyone would think it was a good idea to put an artillery piece on a fighter, it would be Russia, but apparently, it was Brittan that went "screw logic, screw physics, screw practicality, this plane needs moar dakka!"

Well, either way, the point is that Hitler was an idiot.

Well, that's an engine noise, not a weapon one.

The ME262 was actually deployed in enough numbers that it could have had some effect, but Hitler, again being an idiot and messing around with territory he should have left to engineers and generals, would only let them be used as bombers. Eventually, he let them be used as fighters, but by that...

Yes, it was half the speed of many heavy TDs, but on a vehicle with twice the weight, that's pretty good.

Oddly enough, the Maus was one of the few German tanks that DIDN'T have engine problems. The electric drive system was quite effective, and it even had a decent-ish speed when on a good surface. Also interestingly, on the subject of asthetics, Hitler himself demanded that the Maus be given a...

Pretty much what jayman38 said. This puts more work on the devs, and less freedom for the players. Besides, they already plan on adding several whole new weapon systems, master/slave effects included, such as flak and a minelayer. and a few more are on the table but not confirmed. And as for...

You need to pray to the dark gods. But possibly not Khorne, because then you end up putting too much blood on your ships.

TBH, losing armies sometimes fight the last war as well. remember the Gustav gun? That thing would have been great in WWI, when it was all about trenches and fortifications. But when the build it in WWII, it was almost useless because armies were moving around so fast they has to constantly pick...
