A dual core 2.5 gigahertz processor can reach a theoretical limit of 10 gigaFlops...

I would... but it requires a spatula and a sledge hammer...

Unless you have the equivalent of 100 dual core 2.5 gigahertz processors... you can't have even 1 teraflop... let alone 16... 22SAS_Wimp Ya... if you see a score system it was taken from pong, if it's first person(perspective) then it was yanked from either maze war or spasim(nobody knows...

What if it gets shot at while being built? Or if some troll flies a core into the ship that is being built?

woops... I still think you're shitting me...

Yes, yes it does... I can definitely see the use of this. hmm.... How would the ship build? Would it build the ship inside the box? If so, then what about decorative spikes?

Every Ship can have the same acceleration, and they all have the same top speed... the turn rate is affected by both... I could go above the planet and my turrets would have coverage over everything... also... turrets would destroy a fighter, because all of that big ships shields would have time...

I'm sorry, 15 teraflops? There is no way you have that much of anything, let alone RAM... Also, the CPU and/or graphics card could still struggle even if you had that much RAM...

No, not what I mean :confused::rolleyes: I was referring to the idea in and of itself. If the dock is closed then I don't like the suggestion, if not... then it needs tweaking, but I could see the use. This thing needs more smilies :p

Every game ever has done that... except for pong...

Hurray! Someone understands basic math!

Ok, would the dock be a closed system, as in will it have walls? If so then it would take a massive amount of time and effort including what you put forth to make the original ship. If no, then how would you expand it?

If it is for all weapons then it can be used for missiles... even if it can't be used for missiles it is still too powerful, or not powerful enough. It would weaken AMCs and strengthen pulsars(when they eventually do damage), missiles, possibly lasers, and minelayers to ridiculous degrees. You...

I meant expansive personal weapons...

No... it's a confirmation of you not having the ability to read posts in context. Let me spell it out for you: 1.You are being shot at. 2.Your shields go down and you start taking large amounts of damage. 3.You try to run away to use the NRE. 4.As the person is still in range he keeps shooting...

You mean this exact suggestion??? Weapons have a slow firing rate for a reason... balance. You remove that, and they do too much DPS... sure it may have a cooldown... but that doesn't matter when the other ship has no shields...

Lets say I design a very large ship... will I have to make a new, bigger, station?

Fair enough...

If you are getting shot to the point that you need repairs, you aren't out of range...

How was I ever mean to you?
