Are these reports from combat testing small craft, or just descriptions of ideas about possible craft? Any chance you could upload a few of these as examples?

Except the part that is based on Schine's implemented maximum self-stable reactor. That only exists expressly to address the question "what about fighters?" Meaning that technically, a fighter in the current pre-release SM dev build is a ship with 9 or less RB. But otherwise, yes. It is totally...

So Power 2.0 was billed as being scaled so that fighters and other small craft (EDIT: Names aside - doesn't matter if you're calling it a fighter, gunship, bomber, or banana boat - just refering to small combat craft) would not require stabilizers to effectively function. Based on...

Eh. They will say the new system is new, it's pre-release, it has bugs to work out, and will make more sense when it's fully implemented. Then they will update the roadmap to us. Waste of time. It solves nothing to ask for additional explanations from them. Making them stop whatever it is they...

I guess it's not always easy when you're fighting the good fight and beset on all sides by the forces of ignorance. Keep sticking it to the man, Red!

Of course not, lol Everyone wants some content (or at least better ability to mod the game). Ain't no one out there sayin' to themselves "I hope they never put anything for us to actually do in the game!" Never seen that position once.

And for consistency, if AA is a 3-stage craft, why aren't shields? It's not like AA is somehow superior to shields in practice... It just isn't sensible. I think it should all be simplified until/unless profitable specialization is a viable option.:)

I don't find the resource system or refining process horrible at all. On its own. Manufacturing is the worst part for me. I used to have great automated factories, but I got tired of reworking them to accommodate constant changes. The fact that one of the most basic components in the game...

Absolutely. I have several entire ship lines designed to share with newer players. In these, first order is simplicity (then efficient function, then trying not to look hideous) because in training noobs on the servers you give them a BP, coach them through filling a few items, then send them...

Exactly; you ever try shopping someplace all disorganized, like Food4Less??:eek: Like I said - huge fan.(y)

And in more than one way, the toggle system is more hostile: The old system was only placing blocks; now it's placing blocks and working the toggles. The old system was more forgiving and if your ratios were slightly over or under you only slightly lost efficiency; now if you're 0.5% over or...

Also, 'survival' is probably a bit of hyperbole here... You can stand around on an asteroid forever and not die; I've never played what I see as a proper survival game where the clock wasn't always ticking. There really isn't a 'survival' mode, just plain old sandbox mode. And I agree with you...

и кто знает что они теперь делают! We can only hope that the code changes to the core system will result in a better pace for implementing improvements from now on.

Happy Roman New Year, all!(y)

Qweesdy you are correct that schema just bowing directly to the winds of community opinion would almost certainly be bad, but it is not because The Community is stupid, it's because there are a variety of different philosophies within the community, it's not a coherent, persistent group...

Thanks for the introduction, glad to have you aboard. You are very young, but since brain function begins to decline after about 20, it's probably for the best... :ROFLMAO: I'm a huge fan of your work, BTW. The dairy department, I mean. I do all the cooking and shopping for my little fam...

Heh. IKR. Better fleets in general would be so nice... I just want a good interface to be able to control things like factories and faction modules I own without flying there and doing it in person, to start. I don't need crazy RTS control from the map, but being able to interact with things by...

I would add a strategic layer. A map you could actually use to interface with your fleets, planets and stations directly and a decent suite of GUI interfaces for all your fleets, facilities, ships, factories, shipyards, etc. Essentially I'd make physically zooming around to various things I...

I find this ironic (and hilarious) because you may have noticed that I'm not a fan of the new power system either. And the entire thread has become an intervention. Oh well.

Well, Red, if he's incorrect and neither PvE nor PvP are the main factors affecting creative building (acknowledging that they are 'restricting' does not mean they "should not" affect building, BTW), then what - in your opinion - are the main factors that restrict (restrict, as in resist by...
