Hmmm you seem to be missing this piece of context: There is a somewhat notorious (if not major) faction in this game called LAS (League of Australian S###posters). While you may see Autrians as being the more infamous "s###posters" globally, within the SM comunity, the Australians are kind of...

Lol, why would they add a feature to force continuous ship building only to let you guard it with a shield bubble? I thought I read that the idea WAS to make it so that an astro could board a ship with a handgun and cripple you if he get to the power stream, and to strongly punish island ships...

I think this entire outline really underscores one point very well. While not alone in it's genre, SM WAS the closest to having a viable pvp system. It had wars and politics and rival factions, etc which no one else in the genre could touch. With PvP now broken, it has no edge, which I think...

It is just as likely a purposeful feature. Exposed stab lines are supposed to be major weak points... it's kinda why they were put there, to eliminate island ships

I liked this idea at first, but it would penalize RP building, and be mildly exploitable. For example, an RP builder might want to use his reactor as a decorative feature so he builds a nice 6x6x30 block reactor and makes it a central pillar in his reactor room. Then a meta gamer decides he's...

I am probably one of the more active Veterans left... I still log in every few days for a few minutes to add some details to my homebase here and there then logout out of boredom and play cheezy flash games because even that shit is more fun. Pre-update, I played an 3-5 hours pretty much every...

Thing is... we are the ones who WANT the vertile airplanes with decorative landing gears, AND we want them to be an equally viable alternative to wingless rockets, B-2s, and zeppelins because, creative freedom and all. So my question is this : Is this a meme about all of the weird workarounds...

This eliminates one of the principle reasons for stab lines which it to prevent island ships. This suggestion sounds like more of a design philosophy issue than a development one. If you only have one stab line, then you are leaving yourself very vulnerable, but multidimensional stabilizers...

I liked this... but without rating tags, I realized it is very unclear if I am complementing Red for being a helpful member of the community, or showing support of his disrespectful tone toward the moderators... Go Back to Ratings instead of Likes ... just saying.

As someone who's built both major databases and video games I agree with this statement. Many commercial games are released as "Open Alpha" or "Open Beta" as a marketing gimmick to justify the quarks of what is really an Agile development cycle on a full release product. (Battlestar Galactica...

Schine Criss DukeofRealms I was told yall are actively looking for ways to improve current integrity system... not sure if ya'll had the chance to read this.

Yeah, you were the fool who had to go and say "but guys, low density IS good"... other PvPers had spend over a year trying to suppress Spaghetti meta as much as possible and you went and opened that flood gate of public knowledge. Now we have bubble shields, stab noodles, AND integrity!

Even if the armor is self replicating, any ship more than a few hundred mass can pack weapons able to punch through armor and hit the systems below which I assume you mean to not be self replicating as well. The other way of doing armor is to make it fully block hits and be self healing which...

So, as for my perspective of PvP secrecy is that is was it was all on a sliding scale. Personally, I openly shared enough stuff that you could build a ship that could same mass most middle-tier ships, then I had a 20page long technical manual I would share with faction members with all sorts of...

Playing the game? It's not really in a state that I would call a game right now. Mining and designing eye candy are basically the only things you can do until they get basic AI targeting issues resolved.

My initial ick reaction at the idea of chambering weapons was that small weapons will become 50% conduits and tons of empty space, but then I started thinking about what weapons will look like if the weapon update is in fact aimed at eliminating small weapon spam. If "Acid" makes a cannon or a...

I suggested something similar this morning, and I do like the idea of breaking up all effects into a more "chamber like" system since it offers more customization options, but I REALLY hate the block storage upgrades because it introduces a new mechanic where an expected mechanic already exists...

hmmm.... looks like you found a bug. If I'm looking at things right suspect all those little stabilizers are taking advantage of the integrity advantage of really small stuff, but since they are only 1 block apart they are getting grouped as a single stabilizer group so that you can make more...

Not really... Shipyards have to interact with ship design files meaning that they have to load all the meta variables ("meta" as in self-referencing, not Most Effective Tactic Available) associated with them. Since Power 2.0 has a totally separate set of meta variables associated with each...

I have suggested a new system with lots of numbers to go with it along with a system for how to refine proposed system over time without needing full mechanical rebuilds. How to fix Integrity - Yeay Math Again! [edit] My statement was to the CURRENT state of integrity and was by no means to be...
