But why punish people for going the long ranged route? People will abandon it altogether if they will deal more damage closer. Especially at range, its already hard enough to land a hit, why bother trying if it will be at reduced damage. We already have accuracy to encourage close range fights...

But we both know it will happen, Why try fighting from afar, when you're not gonna deal all the damage you can, when you could get closer and deal it all. The current system is fine for now.

Alright you scienced me, But in a game thats based around large ship-ship combat, Damage dropoff is not a very good gameplay addition. I mean do you really want 2 titans within collision distance? Because thats what WILL happen, no doubt.

Seeing how its space and there isnt anything to cause resistance on our shots, It wouldn't make very much sense.

I just don't see the point in hampering something that would already be a serious disadvantage, Immobilizing a ship during production wouldn't be a balancing factor, rather a pretty severe punishment, considering a mobile shipyard will have to power many more things than a station based one...

That does sound like a server thing, in which case you should get ahole of the server owner and ask them about modifying it to included a more serious suicide penalty.

I fail to understand the issue with suicide, If you were to kill the person, literally nothing would have changed. They would have died, lost money and teleported back to spawn, Similarly if they suicided, they would have died, lost money and teleported back to spawn, Only sooner than actually...

Its good to know that its a planned feature, Hopefully it comes around to being implemented soon. This would entirely defeat the purpose of a mobile shipyard, Which is mobility. If I wanted to be stuck in one spot while building ships, I'd build a station and get the invulnerability bonus.

Rather than a Block you place, what about a tracker dart type weapon?

I REALLY like this idea, You dont have the bays for those ships, you can't create those ships. This is how I also play the game, I'd just like to be free from totally relying on stations for things that should be made possible on large motherships. Realistically any ship large enough to...

Curious why this hasnt been added already, Always thought ships went out kind of pathetically.

But its not mobile anymore and becomes like a station. The whole purpose of this is to be able to create PROPER mobile bases. Also a good solution to get around that, Any ship with a shipyard cannot dock to stations or other ships.

I suppose one way to do it, Ships built in mobile shipyards use more resources to build, While still allowing for a proper nomadic playstyle, ultimately building a station and sticking around in one place would be a lot better.

So on and off for the past 2 years or so, Adding stuff to it whenever I can think of something good enough, I've been working on this: A Hiigaran Carrier from homeworld, If you know anything about Homeworld, You'll know what that ship does, Its basically a mobile ship constructer, mainly...

Workin on this beauty, A project a few years in the making, Started it like 2013, quit the game, found the old blueprint file and bam, Continuing work on it. Gonna rebuild the power plant when I get the hull done.

To Truly balance this weapon out, The ROF should never get any faster, But slower, So a small Railgun would fire more often than a Cap ship size setup, Which means it could take a really long time to fire off that 1hk Railgun.

Now the Super Behemoths are a lot harder to maneuver, as It should be, It gives the smaller ligher ships an edge over the bigger ones.

Ahem, World War 2 Would like to have a talk with you.

I suppose, Its all coming together now.
