Wait until the new planets come out, they haven't done them yet, and try it again. The dodeca-planets are bugged to hell and horribly un-optimized

I forgot to respond to this part, but it made me chuckle. It's got absolutely no bearing on the current discussion, so read at your own risk lol.

Damage depends on total weapon size. Primary, secondary and tertiary block counts. You would get better damage per shot if you took out the slaved cannon and used that space for more beam and punch blocks for the primary and tertiary EDIT your dps over time equals out, but beams default...

It might seem like it, but beam+punch is still better than can/can. Beam is easier to score a hit with, and punch allows more damage to transfer to blocks behind it. Also: is your complaint on beams about only being able to take out 1 block at a time? Because cannons aren't any different...

With BlackJack! And hookers! Lol. Sorry, couldn't resist. Dr. Whammy I think you're on to a good system. I'm sorry if you've gone over it before, but what would be the impact of multiple reactor cores in 1 ship? Or maybe just decentralized power in general?

I hear (er...read) you. Though, in 3 years, I've never gotten sick of running through my interiors. The entire reason I started playing starmade is because it not only allowed me to make the space ships that have existed in my brain for the last 10-15 years, but also allows me to actually use...

Yeah, Idk what I was thinking. Sometimes I just start writing and I wind up just rambling. Just...just ignore me lol.

Ok, if it becomes a thing, I'm in. I need to learn how to do stuff the "honest" way anyway lol

I still think having an interior be totally optional. And I'm not crazy about purely aesthetic interiors, even though it's what I tend to focus on. I want everything I put in my ships to serve a purpose. I hate that my interiors are basically useless except to look pretty. Interiors in a real...

Are you meaning like a creative/PvP server, or like a survival server, but with really tiny caps? lol

I've got a few ship designs. Specifically, ship designs for assholes. Each duty station is a cramped room with a simple flat bench, open toilet, a one way entrance, and a damage pulse for an exit. Needless to say, these ships wouldn't have "crew" so much as they'd have "victims" lol

As long as they don't all end up with 6 fingers on each hand and have an uncanny ability to play bluegrass music despite a very conspicuous absence of banjos....

When they auto-populate planets and stations they just hangout, freeloading lol. If you don't feel like micromanaging them, set or send an npc there to assign them duties, or even recruit for your ship. There should always be options for how micromanagy or decentralised you want to be. I would...

Build a station, or build structures on a planet, and they'll appear on their own. You can recruit them to your ship, or any ship in your fleet, or assign them duty stations to your station/base/outpost. As you recruit from them, and feed resources towards that outpost, they will replenish their...

Ah, I see that now. How presumptuous of me. Sorry lol. I'll try and cut that crap out.

I guess it does just come down to the detail I like in a doll house then. Most "rp" ships I've seen still have most of their interior space cram packed full of systems with absolutely no regard whatsoever to necessary crew compliment, maintenance areas, logistics support...you know a bunch of...

Going into "why heatboxes" didn't seem like it was part of the focus of this post. Though I suppose that was partially covered here: Which is something I can get behind. I like to build my ships with "shaped systems" already. It would be cool for MY way of doing things also become more viable...

This is a good concept. I like it. Obviously, any numbers you've used are solely for example, right? lol

Dr. Whammy these are concise and versatile. I really wouldn't feel lacking in options with these, except for maybe an option to split a fleet into different squadrons lol

I wasn't sure how everybody felt about thread based necrophilia here, but more than once I've seen ppl get jumped on for bringing up a topic that's been covered before. The complaint (at least in the one case I remember well) was that a necro was more desirable than a new thread on an old topic...
