I chose other, to me Starmade is ideally a casual game where I get to float throug the void between galaxies on board a city ship filled with places that defy reason... somehow I ended up miticulously designing hyper efficient death machines instead.

Happy birthday Schema! now about those railguns and ftl :P

Figured I'd just submit a normal application now that I know the people I like are here Name: AtraUnam Experience: Started playing just after bubble shields stopped being a thing. Desired Branch: Builder Steam name: Chiboko

Aww don't say that, you've always been way better at everything logic clock related than me. I still can't figure out your pulse equalizer.

I heard you guys had a Jaaskinal and an Incap? if thats true then sign me up.

Most of the above, if you want to grief without war-declaration then warheads are about the worst way you could do it.

Oh schema if we get at least audio streaming capability. Permament player run starmade news stations anyone?

Just comming up to defend plain old cannon. Its about as viable as cannon/pulse or perhaps even cannon/cannon. Its really the go-to gun for any ship/turret that needs a relatively fast weapon but is too small to mount a worthwhile cannon/cannon.

I understand half of this and agree with all of it!

I think that stopped working recently, regular rail docked barrels got their field of fire greatly reduced compared to turrets so now they don't fire most of the time.

I miss Z and X drives, I mean they needed to be patched but damn they were convinient.

Reads through post... "All hail god builder dphilostrate !" Very awesome build, I'm totally stealing the idea of deployable base components.

Putting everything on forward and turning can be quite good for small fighters, lots of speed and agility if you don't strafe much. Strangely this is also a good setup on titans because one of those thing is never going to strafe anyway.

Oh I thought from your last comment you meant do away with the pickup rails altogether and just have it dock the same way players eventualy would. Yeh that would work but in the meantime it would just be jarring because it would make the 'snap' more noticable when they dock,

Optimal thrust configuration is entierly dependant on ship design/role.

The manual beam wouldn't path find around obstacles, if you used it for AI you would get shittiest non-functional fleet behaviour imaginable.

Well theoretically the game will get more and more immersive and this being the case we don't want ships teleporting onto docks to ruin that. At some point even manual docking beams are intended to cause the ship to begin to automatically move onto the dock rather than just snapping straight on.

Nah starcraft is way more stressful than programming.

The pickup point stuff is there because coding a path finding ai for drones to be able to redock to any ship configuration would be up there with the ai MIT uses for their bipedal robots. Its much easier just to let the player handle the path finding.

You are correct that ion reduces physical damage, removing it completely at 100% How much you want to reduce your ion by depends on what blocks you want to kill and how much damage the beam does per tick.
