I gotcha, I just wanted to be sure and make sure my original rationale was explained, so it didn't seem like I was going to such an extreme for no reason. Having a fleet of tanks to berserker rush them while I sit back and lob artillery (and missiles!) in the background works a lot better with...

Phone derped on me. Hold on lol. I agree that this is a much better idea that my "all offense all the time" but after what you described: I figure, if I'm gonna get insta-killed with a tank, why waste the resources on defense? Speed and firepower will be my armor, just like Jackie Fisher...

I haven't hopped on in a while. Got hit with inspiration for one of my RP destroyers. I need to get back on. I'm trying to design the cheapest glass cannon I can lol. If the toughest ship you can make will get one-shot killed regardless, then why put anything into defense at all? If you can...

If starmade crashes and burns because of mismanagement, then I'll simply keep the last published distribution, then go on to make my own starmade! With blackjack! And hookers! In fact, forget starmade! But until that day, I will be patiently waiting for starmade to turn into a game that not...

Oh, awesome! Glad it helped!

Ah, gotcha. I use mine as an R&D platform, so messing with the factions has been low on my ever growing to-do list. Sorry I was unhelpful lol

The npc factions aren't working correctly for Linux. There was another thread on it. Is the new Faction/fleet stuff broken on Linux? I run a small server on BunsenLabs myself, and I've never gotten the npc factions to work right lol.

Sounds like your processor overheating is the cause. Starmade is really cpu intensive, and if it's clock speed is dropping down that could do it. Not sure what you could do though. Hopefully it's something else. something that's easily fixed

Added some stuff to make it more finished looking.

I usually download the ships from the blood and steel competitions that get posted. I'll hop into a "spectator pod", go to an empty sector and spawn my ship as a mob faction, and whatever I'm testing against as pirates. Then I sit back and watch. I do it this way because I'm testing my design...

I've got 8.1 on my laptop. 6GB ram total, and I allocate upwards of 5000MB (don't remember the exact number) just fine. Try upping the memory in SM and see if that helps. If it doesn't you can always go back. Just looked some stuff up. how hot does your computer get when you play?

Ouch lol. What have you got the game settings set to? That ram is a little light. every update has made starmade more and more intensive to run. They're not focused on optimizing until beta Also, I'm pretty sure splatthecat meant the mouse battery lol.

Meh, I think everybody here has enough ideas of their own, they're not gonna want to attempt anyone else's. I like the concept though. You know, YOU could always build your ideas lol

If the Bobby acts the same when set to "turret" as it does when set to "ship" then it will fire each weapon as It's target comes into range. Are you planning on a simple proof of concept first?

Just finished. I'm too tired to write any fluff, but I'll work on it tomorrow. Some of it is already written down here: Brokengauge's Shipyard Let me know what you like, what you don't, and what you think might work better for this type of thing. thanks! Also: I took these recently, but the...

Lol very true. It's best to find a good balance between defense and offense. Its just not very effective in SM to devote the majority of your mass to shields at the expense of offensive capability.

With regards to the Graf spee, the British felt that they couldn't contain her with what they had left after the battle. The British ambassador in Montevideo had local British radios report that British reinforcements had arrived. The captain had the Graf spee scuttled because he didn't think...

I just stopped by to say: it's nice to finally meet someone else who knows a thing or two about WWI naval warfare lol

Sorry, wasn't referring to warfare specifically with regards to gunfights. I was speaking more about 1 on 1 shootouts between pissed off civilians. Anything involving a group is going to last a long time, but I did over simplify. As far as naval battles, I was thinking of the battle of the...

Is it a bug? Or a sweet new rave feature to go with what Danki is working on? lol
