      Starmade and Degenerate Strategy

      I can only think that a penetrative quality of a weapon is only useful if it, in a sense, creates a "breach" in the armor, and then whether there is another weapon that can take advantage of such a breach. As it stands now, cannons/beams only naturally damage 1 block at a time. If there is a...

      Starmade and Degenerate Strategy

      Yeah, probly that is better. Well, that's why I couched it in a question.... 'Cuz I don't play with others. I don't really like the shotgun version of missiles to begin with (just a personal thing), Missile weapon is "overly effective" in the current structure. The cone idea is worth...

      Starmade and Degenerate Strategy

      Caution: EtherEel input incoming I've stated elsewhere various opinions/observations regarding the weapons and their issues. So I guess I'll assemble some those that I recall here. And add a few as well: 1. Cannons and Beams should be "swapped": Cannons -- less accurate, short range, higher...

      Dynamic Galaxies/Universe

      This is certainly good "food-for-thought" -- a place to start the necessary discussion of what to do with the galaxy. Some good ideas. I would hesitate to "fill" the galaxy with factions beyond just under 50%, however -- need room for exploration and the unexpected. I wish I could give a...

      Happy Anniversary Starmadedock

      I feel I'm obligated to complain about something, so.... Nah, I got nuthin'. I'm glad this game is around; glad that the forum works well and looks sleek. Drinks are on me! (GLWT) ~ee

      Dreadnaught - Guidelines (Help!)

      My (often maligned) opinion: Do you really like the look of yer new behemoth? If not, just let it sit there and make new (smaller) stuff -- cuz yer gunna spend a lot of time trying to figure out what to put in it, where to put it, questioning why you decided to do whatever you just did...

      Surprise Dev Update

      No, I'm scolding someone else for doing that. Someone who, with a degree of "fame", should realize that his comments are held to a higher standard. But I wasn't counting on the humor and subtlety to fully deliver the message. My apology if your sensibilities have been offended. But, wait --...

      Gauss Cannon / Magneto-Cannon, anyone?

      ♦ Whatever you do, DO NOT suggest "Plasma Torpedoes" !!! Especially as a "replacement" for the Damage-Pulse weapon.... And it's probably not a good idea to engage in the subject of "Break-off" either. Welcome to the shark tank, Markus_McCloud.

      The council propaganda thread

      I apologize profusely! :oops: But you must've said that on another thread... If it's any consolation, you have my non-vote! And Hey!, remember -- if Thomas E. Dewey can get non-elected, anyone can/can't. :confused:

      "You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means." -- I.M. And, yes, I know who you are. No, I'm not intimidated. Disappointed in your behavior, yes.

      Ship Contiguity

      Not until "break-off" becomes non-ctd-inducing. Obviously I'm living with it currently. You all just don't really care about it anymore, and are accustomed to "that's just the way Starmade is..." I do realize everything can't be a top priority. cf. Rhetorical Question - - - - - To kupu...

      Ship Contiguity

      Which is why I don't use it. If it crashes the game then it isn't really "part" of the game is it? - - - - - And you all are completely/intentionally missing the point. If I blown-off your shoulder with my high-powered rifle, your disembodied arm should not behave as if still connected...

      Surprise Dev Update

      I was not/am not complaining. It's an opinion/observation that I thought should be expressed. Everyone is foaming-at-the-mouth about how their turrets are going to be so awesome now, I want to let it be known that I don't like turrets. (I don't want pop-up turrets either, but thanx for the...

      Ship Contiguity

      [I hope I'm not the first to raise this subject, but one can only backtrack through the fora so far...] I find it exceedingly odd, absurd really, that a "Ship" (or station) can have disconnected parts/pieces/systems/weapons that continue to function. (Even more so that you can intentionally...

      Surprise Dev Update

      You are correct - no turrets. (I'm on my own little sandbox-server, tho, so not that big a deal --unless/until the "single-player experience" gets worked on. My old Chevy Nova PC can't handle other players existing in my universe...) That said, I still hate "the look" of external turrets --...

      Well, leave it to me to be the one who's unexcited by this stuff. I hate the look of external turrets; this does nothing for me. Maybe I can devise alternate uses for the new block-age... --- You may resume joyous celebration ---
