Myeah -- I dunno how to copy/paste and fully utilize advanced build mode apparently. (See above statement regarding NOOB status.) Is there a good tutorial on that out there? Also, though, an awful lot of what happens when I'm "designing" right now comes down to "Let's see what happens when I...

The red/orange engine might look better if you change the opaque blocks to black (or something dark.... like, uh, black.)

--- NOOB ALERT --- Is there and option somewhere or a way to not show the white missile trails (and still show the missile itself) ?? I tried an option in-game to only show X-number of missile trails, but that just made the missiles themselves invisible. I still wanna see the missile, just...

A more logical means of preventing over-frequent scanning for the purpose of decloaking/dejamming would be to simply impose a longer cooldown/recharge time. The enormous power consumption still makes no sense...

Yes, I see your point(s) about the Cloak/Jammer. Actually, a bunch of counter-arguments popped into my head as soon as I posted that! But Can we get back to the explanation of a Scanner's power-consumption? Snk says Scanners are "really useful" -- care to elucidate? Clearly I already think...

I was thinking a counter-measure something like a Flak-Cannon -- throwing a bunch of junk debris out there so the missiles hit that and detonate prematurely. Of course, they would have to be AI controlled and all that jazz....

So I was just laying in 350 antenna blocks.... and noticed, "Holy Cow! 1 million power required to use a scanner of that size ??!" Is there a GOOD reason for the exorbitant consumption rate of a SCANNER ? Did someone try to scan the entire universe and crash a server? Did an...

Of course, however, I'm curious why the softcap was set to 1 million, as opposed to, say 2 million. Was there an actual reason for that # or was it merely arbitrary?

The harsh curve-rate after achieving 1-million power regen could be softened a bit. In my latest "Diamond-Jellyfish" ship, I easily got to the 1 mil mark before finishing my 2nd regen array.... Then, determined to get to 1.1 million proceeded to have to make 9 (iirc) (just to see what it would...

Thanx much. Noobers like me don't know stuff like the "grappling trick" cuz it ain't written in the regular dyrekshuns...

Well, as per title, Dave needs to be able to rotate through the X-Axis ( do a "roll" like ships can), which he currently cannot. I discovered this issue when I mistakenly popped-out of a small (downloaded) ship that was awkwardly positioned and had a 1x2 door. Since Dave is also 1x2, I never...

Come to think of it, I do need Hyper-Lineated-Crystal Armor for my Tholian ships: 6000 HP 99.44% Armor I'm joking of course (but not really...) But JUST FOR ME -- no else gets them!

My primary interest (other than the ability to be creative and design and make my own starships) is Exploration. Finding new things, encountering new life-forms and civilizations. Needing to have a well-rounded ship... *cough* I'm reminded of a little-known game I played on the original...

A slogan for Zeno: "The Sky Is Not The Limit"

A few pix of the recently finished exterior of a current project: ^ The shady side. ^ The sunny side. ^ View of the stern. The original intent was something Tholian -- crystaline and angular. It became more deep-sea aquatic/bioluminescent. Still, it's alien and exotic which was most...

:rolleyes: Well, I'm just gunna let my semi-brilliant (/chuckle) idea fade into the background, as you both seem intent on missing the point. There were other factors that contributed to this idea but i won't elucidate here. Perhaps another post when the smell of blood in the water has faded.

Well, I love THE IDEA of lots of shapes of blocks -- Wedges, Corners, Heptas, Tetras at 30°, 22-½°, 15°, and 7-½° foremost among them, but I thought the limiting of variety was conducive to a better operating game. Thus, variety creates lag and galactic warming...

Perhaps I should refine my terminology to "Point-Defense Overseer Computer." Remember this is intended to be a DEFENSIVE weapons coordinator to replace external/docked turrets. Limiting it's usage to Cannons (the only current anti-missile weapon atm) could certainly be a stipulation, as well...

Seeing as I despise the look of turrets (they look too World-War-II-era-Navy for me), combined with my little misadventure in discovering that Weapon Computer orientation determines the direction of said wep's output, AND noticing just how few options are available from old BOBBY the AI..... I...
