this seems like a great idea, but may cause lag. I love new features, but I hate for them to slow down the game. There are many other things that could be added with a higher fun/lag coefficient.

Yes, I agree with this. I would advise having missiles be non-stackable, so that each CPU can only have a certain number. In addition, the missile \"tubes\", the current missile launch blocks, would impart a certain base velocity to the missile, based on their number. A long-range missile...

Reload speed and damage should be a function of number of blocks in the cluster. Damage should be arithmetical, a direct function of the number of blocks. Reload speed should climb along a y=x^2 type curve, but decend along a y=SQRT(x) curve. (no pic, my mathcad is kaput right now.) This...

I also reccommend buffing hull to make it more viable. I suggest increasing all hull block hp by an order of magnitude, and increasing the damage reduction of armored hull to above 75%

You can, it would simply have to be built to scale. I.E. HUGE

I enjoy the new balance, as it forces ships to have more than just a thousand block cannon and huge piles of shields. Suddenly, ships have to watch their backs. Perhaps have turrets covering their blind spots, or use fighter escorts. Heck, this update completely adds validity to the escort...

I also enjoy the new update. I have always made fairly bulky armored ships, with heavy turrets and large engines. I enjoy relying on dynamic action and tactics to win fights, rather than passive defenses and number crunching. I strongly feel that the change, clearly meant to keep this game...

>> Just a quick and probably dumb question, but is there any restriction in buying your ship from the catalogue ? I suggest that the only use of catalog should be for \"official\" shipwrights, who could spawn certain premade ships for money. I am currently on a server with catalog...

yes, the exterior is rock, made by bombarding basic rock with hundreds of low-level missiles. There is an interior lining of hull, then the living space inside.

Launched thousands of years ago by a clearly desperate civilization, this relic is found still struggling through space, toward a destination long forgotten. What the exterior may once have looked like has long since been worn away, either through conflict, solar flares, or simple age. Now...

The answer to shields SHOULD be Disintegrators. Have a new type of docking module, that \"throws\" the ship forward when it undocks, and only has a 1 block area. Make the small torpedo ships (with disintegrator warheads) dock to anything from heavy bombers to massive cap ships. Suddenly...

sounds a little in-depth. I would love a way to just increase the armor level of hull blocks until armor actually becomes relevant.

I think derilict ships whould be a totally radical aspect to add to the game. Hyperdrives are coming (I think). I am not sure they should be tied together.

Sounds like simple piracy to me.... and the penalty for piracy is death.

I will no longer belabor the point, I just wish to say one thing. I suspect you and I wish to see very different games. What I believe in is a Starmade where battles are won by skill both in design, and ship handling. Where no one can be in a truly hopeless situation, and invincibility would...

ummm would a time lord use weapons?

In the interests of game balance, I find the total reliance on million-block shield arrays to be harmful. To that end, I have a three part proposal. 1: Have shields only begin to recharge after a ten second timer, that is reset every time they take a hit. this includes partial recharges, so...

this needs to happen, but with more types of weapons

doesn\'t go far enough
