The heat makes systems worse if they're inside its radius. So you put the reactors far away from the rest of your systems on spokes, with additional sponge spokes in front of the reactor spokes to defend them, a "chandelier ship," if you will, and can continue to stuff your ships to the brim...

Yes, and the counter to that is- they're armored, they're at the back of the ship, a ship with this design will be able to kill you before you can even do that, and you are overestimating how easy it is to hit specific parts over a ship 5 or more kilometers away.

Because the chandelier ship, which puts a huge number of the new generator system out on armored spokes, allowing for the same "fill everything with systems" we currently have, just with uglier ships.

Because this heat system encourages the creation of chandelier shaped ships, which would be significantly more difficult to incorporate in a variety of aesthetic choices. I appreciate your optimism, but I do not think the devs, who spend most of their time coding or creating art assets, know...

As a PvP player, I would prefer if my builds could look good and also compete. This is currently possible. With the upcoming Chandelier Meta, it will be significantly more difficult to do this.

No, not really. The meta ship shape and shapes that can look good with ease and accommodate numerous aesthetics styles are currently the same. You currently only have to sacrifice an absolutely miniscule amount of performance for external aesthetics with 90% of builds in the current game.

Power Auxiliary - StarMade Wiki No, it's just going to make it a lot easier for us to build terrible, ugly, meta ships.

You would rather have ONLY chandeliers rather than the occasional brick that has no real advantages besides being easier on the builder on a more conventional, good looking ship? You don't even do PvP. You are exclusively an RP builder, yes? What do you know about what PvP is like? You don't...

If you think that your ships are even going to survive long enough to do that against the new breed of meta boats this update will create, you clearly have not thought through the consequences of this change.

Let me make this as simple as possible. In the current system, you can make any ship into an ultra effective meta boat as long as it is even remotely wedge shaped. So you can still easily make a good looking ship that is also min-maxed. With the proposed system, every meta ship is going to be...

Actually, no. The most effective fighting tactic for small ships versus large ships is to get into knife fighting range, as large ships will be unable to outturn you. Jamming is primarily something activated if the big ship manages to get its guns on you, allowing you to escape back into its...

So you're both pro gigantism and unaware of the current state of large versus small? That's embarrassing. I am not talking about 1:1000 mass differences, I am talking about 1:2 or 1:3 mass differences, where a smaller ship can take on a bigger ship currently. Being able to jam can play a big...

Definitely not. Not only would it be faster and more regular with logic, it would be fully automated as well. You don't even need to switch into another entity anymore. That's definitely overpowered. It doesn't JUST kill stealth warheads (which are currently only OP vs unmanned stations and...

"the jd and cannons kinda look like these things from other scifi so you shouldnt complain about the suggestion forum being constantly swamped with pointless suggestions asking for aesthetic changes to match another scifi thing (which is star trek 90% of the time) xDDDDDDDDD" It's a video...

Absolutely not. Beams are hitscan. Either you make them NOT hitscan, removing the entire point, or you make them stay hitscan but have a visual effect with travel time, which would result in an obnoxious disconnect between visual impact and damage. Considering how cannons and beams (and...

Asteroids are large enough knowadays that planets aren't a better choice of mining, especially since you can refine and then sell carved rocks if you mine asteroids instead. EDIT- Also, this isn't really a suggestion.

Sorry, what? Are you accusing me of using stealth torpedo launchers vs an AI station and that I think this should remain in the game? As I've stated, I want AI/stations to scan upon taking damage from a cloaker or if there's a jammed ship near them, and I've never used stealth warheads on...

Coredrilling? What? That's been out of the game for over a year at this point, I think. And NPCs can still target jammed ships, they just have reduced accuracy. A surprise attack with a stealth torpedo launcher isn't "real" combat? Yes it is.

This doesn't exist. A single block scanner will decloak and unjam anything. The "unable to" message was a bug that only appeared when you scanned and there was nothing in the sector and not for anything else.

All discussion of potential balance is pointless because, as we have covered, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH HOW THE GAME ENGINE WORKS.
