Edit: nevermind i misread that

Requiring the stabilizers to be a certain distance from the reactors isnt a great mechanic at the moment. I think using them to protect the reactor from damage/power loss, ignoring their distance from the reactor and focusing on numbers, would be better. Like having a 1:1 ratio of reactors to...

For offensive effects across sectors, maybe chambers that reduce/increase local projectile and ship speeds, weapons ranges, and damage outputs, affecting all ships within range of the output regardless of affiliation.

As posted in this thread: New Chamber Ideas Inertial web: Increases weapons with beam seondary range and projectile speed by 50%, but reduces ship speed and acceleration by 90% Overrides thrust and speed enhancing chambers Fake reactor/beacon Show up on scans as if it were a set of reactors...

This seems fairly reasonable. I suppose it cant recalculate each blocks situation every time its neighbor is destroyed or it could all get laggy.

Now this is an excellent idea for information warfare and fleet ops.

Ive found thick bow and front-end advanced armor will help absorb some serious impacts, especially helping to dissipate damage from missiles since their damage is being spread out over a huge number of armor blocks. Cannons not so much, a strong cannon will of course pierce right through armor...

Both of the above are pretty good ideas i think. In my own ideas, i was thinking about collision damage. I know it hasnt been worked on in a long time and probably still wont be for a while, but i figure whenever it does get some love, then having a chamber property that reduces or nullifies it...

I had a similar thought a while back. Make a new class of micro blocks (that are full cubic meter cubes), which have an inventory of eight potential component parts. These can be weapons, at which point the block becomes the origin of the projectile, or systems like shields, thrusters, power...

Improved fleet command UI, just to streamline the process, would definitely be nice. Its a good suggestion, i dunno how much cpu strain a tactical map for the purpose of displaying everything and trajectories would pose, though. Probably murder the server. Maybe ordering your ship to align in...

That takes half the fun out of it though. I think this would be a great improvement especially trying to align properly to moving objects to dock. Ever tried to catch an out of control, spinning push-effect powered vessel (or npc ship) you accidentally undocked from in a game without the...

I'm really excited about these new repulser/hover blocks. That's going to be loads of fun to play with. Any chance of a similar block that deflects other objects away from itself? Similar to how we can kinda have push beams/cannons now, without having to worry about it shooting through the...

in game development, as in writing or creating something yourself, you should always have an endgame you're working towards, to define just what the heck you're doing and so you know it when you get there. So in that way, no, its best to lay that out first and foremost, everything in between is...

schema for the universe update, were you moving away from solar systems being cubes 0f 16^3 sectors set in regular patterns? will they be spheres or ellipses or something centered around a star that are distributed randomly instead? Will they be potentially much larger or smaller than systems we...

That is quite frankly amazing and beautiful

I've been stuck with a laptop that wont let me play skyrim or anything new for four years about. It's not a hardware issue, everything worked wonderfully before updating to windows 10, but now half my steam library games wont work for more than ten minutes. I have no internet or normal...

schema I've a question regarding the universe update vaguely related to this: Will star systems, and thus orbiting planets and asteroid belts, be moved off the grid they're on now, so they're not created in 16^3 sector cubes and maybe like a sphere of sectors centered around a start or center...

Ah yes, i remember when my asteroid base got raided by heartless robot pirates, too. That useless rock you get off of asteroids makes great cheap building material, though. Ive literally constructed my home base on the server out of carved rock blocks. Its hideous and i love it.

If you'd like to join me, the Legion of Free Worlds could use some help, though I only have the chance to be on every other day on average. I can send you an invite in-game if you provide a username
