So, bubble shields: They are bad because you are trying to force a SPHERE into a cube-based game. It ain't gonna work. The performance drop would be unbearable. I like the idea of having blocks that can expand the radius of a shield away from a ship (Giving massive advantages against missiles...

Also, never combine missiles and cannons with closely-spaced outputs----the cannot shots invariably shoot down the missiles.

Well, Ithirahad, they could go play Overwatch until then......but they should have to play for a good long while (Several days?) ******EDIT******* Sorry, skimmed over part of your post (I'm tired, alright?). They can only do this after securing faction point supplies.

Yeah. The only problem is that when your corridors average 3x3 or less, powered armor is almost not possible in SM. I built a humanoid suit of armor, and the only thing it'd be good for is planetary action. Anything else and it's just too big to fit. (I probably could've squeezed a weaker suit...

Very nice idea. I definitely agree. Food for thought: Can this be folded into the present rail rotators instead?

Or just use cannons for turrets. And beams for anti-shield.

One idea I like is the idea of having some sort of driller-ship capable of latching on to an enemy (Perhaps only a shieldless or otherwise disabled enemy?) and then slowly cutting its way into the ship. Or just the latching mechanism, since boarding in other ways is just a huge pain.

Heeeeyyyy Sauron! Where's the rest of Barad-dur?

I do not want to lose 3rd person. There's no reason. If you don't like it, don't use it, but don't bother trying to take it from others.

Again, I'd like to see the mechanics I pointed out worked-into the game, instead of needing a workaround. To repeat: I understand and have used workarounds to allow two people to be a sort of sub-faction, but I would like to see no need for workarounds.

Mathematics question, <SCRIPTKITTY>: Do you mean [hull mass + mass of system blocks^2]/stations OR ([hull mass + mass of system blocks]^2)/stations OR hull mass + (mass of system blocks^2/stations)??? All three give different answers. I think that the last one's illogical, so its really just...

Edymnion, don't forget that certain blocks (Full blocks, light bars, other symmetrical blocks, etc.) do not need 24 rotation states. You save bits for those blocks, and could then possibly use them for more IDs (I don't know how exactly this works, but I'll try anyway). As in, while a block with...

It does. Defense stations are hard, because there's so many ways to troll them. The best way to make a defense station is to have absurd amounts of regen on decent shields. This will make it harder to alpha-strike the station down. Also, an undocked shield-supply drone in the center might be a...

Lukwan, you have won yourself a Like. Good thought. That is actually a very neat idea.

I'm just gonna rate that complex yet well-thought-out post informative and put the agree right here. Good job, you've successfully tested a clearly damaged and damaging mechanic that most people would much rather (and some do) just shoot repeatedly with a Death Star III (Yes, you all know...

Don't have any. We do however have some zealots. And more bad puns than even Darth Vader could take. Also, don't forget the cookies.

Well, everyone, my point is that game mechanics should not require workarounds. Trust me, I've found and used some before.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no. An ISD II is 1600 meters of pure warship, carrying a full wing of assorted TIEs (But I prefer me a good New Republic SD instead, with several squadrons of more-effective X-, A-, Y-, and B-Wings. Its turbolasers are capable of going end-to-end through some older...

They aren't? Maybe they're just too good at what they do.

I want him able to specifically edit my ships, not just spawn in new ones, but to change shared vessels and save them without going through me. Admittedly its not that much of a problem, but this would still be nice for me.
