True. Shipyards have just been left incomplete for so long and something would be nice. I know all of these will see more attention again once power is back up and running with weapons adapted to it, but in the meantime it would be fun to see fighters in MP battles, but no one is going to spend...

Larger ship mobs seem to be more functional recently, and now I'm wishing for a way to bulk fill & spawn identical ships in MP as a player. Admin mass spawn is fine for testing, but there should be a way for players themselves in MP to get their fighter and drone swarms into play without...

I did a few fighter-mob tests using my new 9RB little "Pez" fighters against some very stable 1-10M shield targets and didn't have a lot of surprise reactor problems. I'm going to start testing from the pilot seat of the target so I can variably stress the reactor and experiment with various...

Fleet mining while chatting Gradiant effect systems Looking forward eagerly to new features rather than back fondly on core mechanics.

They could implement something fun like this in literally minutes. Shopkeep mobs can already be pretty fun to shoot at (and they shoot back). Easy to have pirate stations spawn a bunch of -1 factioned shopkeeps called "Pirate."

Exactly. That's my thought. Might as well skip the hull and just strap cannons directly onto your unshielded reactor at that point. Why even permit unstable reactors if they're so utterly gimped?

One of the most hilarious catastrophes I've experienced on SM MP as well. I could hardly breathe by the end of it I was laughing so hard, because he kept dropping into general chat and after a bit other players are asking what is happening. Explaining that over chat just sent me into tears...

Meaning the only viable defense for an unstable reactor is heavy armor with absolutely no shields... wow... So basically "if your reactor isn't 100% stable, do not install shields" because they'll turn your entire ship into a conduit for bypassing all shields and armor, ensuring that every shot...

I have literally been in a shootout to death with a shopkeep mob. Sooo sad... Starting new on a server, I allied with a neighbor early. Next day we've made some trades, both have bases up. Filling BPs for proper ships... I am busy crafting... he messages me. Tells me he is going to a nearby...

So... the ship took block damage and overheated while shields apparently remained up the entire time? I'm going to try to re-create that this weekend.

Yeah, they'll fix a GUI bug though. For sure. That 2nd pic is a GUI bug.

Better resource distribution, including rarity, is something supposedly 'coming soon,' along with a general universe reboot (which might also include better planets). 'Soon' probably means about six months after whenever the weapon reboot into the new power system happens. There may be some...

True and true. Some brief clarification about their position would be informative. I'd prefer it if they don't go issue a big statement or go through and fully update the road map right now though.

You should report that glitch in the bugs forum/app. They can fix that.

That's interesting... x600 10RB fighters vs a large capital make no headway. How was engine performance during that test, BTW? Was it decent?

That's a good point about small utility craft. I will have to go back and read the documentation & discussions. I may have misread; I thought I read that smaller craft, with a specific example of fighters, would be accomodated by allowing reactors to be self-stable up to a point because...

The senate has been, indefinitely, dissolved... :LOL:

That's cool. We gotta push, for sure. An organized, well-represented "party" of players could probably even sway at least some solid compromises. I haven't given up. Not on having a little effect anyway - I've totally watched Schine listen on some issues and fix some problems (trade network and...

I'm all about speaking up on the quality of their changes - as much as you have time to comfortably burn on that, anyway. In my experience of life in general though, people aren't likely to retreat from this kind of investment. That's not approval of a mistake, that's realism about human nature...

FFS; I sincerely hope nobody is designing fleets right now! I'm just testing, experimenting, and asking about what others who might be testing similar mechanics are discovering. I'm literally just testing prototypes at 9RB & under specifically to understand whether Schine needs to raise that or...
