I want to see some Commonwealth ships from Andromeda. All the factions you listed except for maybe mass effect have already seen pretty decent coverage.

Not sure if you've ever seen games like Space Engineers that allowing ramming damage by default, but it's kind of cancerous. Pretty much every fight in that game ends in a ramming maneuver (last I checked) resulting in both ships being damaged beyond repair. PvP is not viable in a system where...

An X-wing could blast the off the little turrets or put small holes here and there without causing any "meaningful" damage, unless it could plant a shot down deep in a volatile core system like the main reactor. Likewise, a SM fighter can put a tiny hole through a block of adv. armor, but...

Make your system a cube. If your charger is linear, it will have negative integrity which will result in feedback damage when your shields are hit. This is an intentional feature of the new shield/integrity system to counter a major exploit where by players would make "spaghetti" ships (large...

Planets are way more friendly than they used to be, as long as you don't try landing a battle cruiser on one, or hitting it with 1000+ mining beams at once, I have not seem major issues with them for at least a year. That said, if their value was in ownership, I'd kind of prefer to make them...

The problem with this is the same as Stick Shops. Pirates don't spawn until you harm a pirate base... and most warships worth while one-shot them; so, this would lead to massive pirate attrition. While I think they should have a payout, there needs to be a more sustainable source of credits...

Yes, they work beautifully... haven't checked to make sure the bonuses are exactly as advertised, but they let you refine and manufacture several times as quickly. I pair the refining tic speed II with refining power efficiency II. That way my base has all the excess power it needs to keep...

There is actually a mechanic in current armor that works exactly like this: Hull. Hull is way cheaper and lighter than armor or advanced armor, but has almost as much aHP. The downside of hull is that it does not get damage reduction, so it is still easy to penetrate and actually "bleeds" aHP...

When you claim a sector and when you add a mining chamber to a ship, those stack. You don't need to put a mining bonus on a station because that is the station's bonus to be able to mine... which stations don't typically do. Instead, you want to put refining bonuses on your bases to speed up...

One piece of this that is answerable is about integrity. Only system blocks have integrity so you can make your armor however complex you want. Spaced and composite armor will very likely continue to to be integral in your designs based on what info has been released about weapons and armor...

frankly, he should have just left the blocks alone, remarked their properties that make them do shit, and changed their mass/cost to make them appropriately "decorative" blocks. Then just make something to auto deletes or ignores logic connections to and from them if that is something that...

Mostly true, but not entirely; while there is a certain amount of surface area & shape optimisation that goes into meta building (so stuff like star trek ships tend to waste a lot of mass on extra hull), there is a lot of middle ground for hiding OP meta ships under a good layer of detail. For...

For the record, this is a Trident shipyard, not one of my own, in case anyone was wondering.

Wow, how long have you played this game? This update has thrown walls up in front of PvP, PvE, and RP alike. Cubefied systems mean you can no longer effectively build interiors because you need to fit giant square chunks inside of ships that you may otherwise want to be sleek, and you can no...

I've always been a big fan of this look. Basically you take each pair of arms and create a "panel" out of it, then use the next pair mostly as a gap zone with various negative space here and there. Given the scale of your shipyard you may do better with tripple sets instead of pairs, but the...

Merc Dragon's new Burnsenhel class frigate (top) and Manticore class miner (bottom) are my only power 2.0 ships and very obviously designed prior to multiple reactor vectors was a thing.

So, new issue with shields is that they now lose 100% of their ability to recharge when under continuous fire instead of 80% like they used to; so, regen tanking is no longer viable. If I recall correctly you need 1 regen block for every 10 capacitors to just maintain a shield and you need 10x...

What your Physical chamber tree needs to look like. You connect one chamber to the reactor via conduit, then you connect 3 chambers to that one via 3 seperate other conduits (don't make one conduit that branches off into 3 connections either).

Benevolent (aka Destroyer of Worlds) is the server admin on Light vs Dark and has probably done more custom work that any of the other servers. I would ask him. If you log into LvD, the general chat is linked with Discord; so, even if he is offline, you could ask for him while he is offline...
