Not a set speed unless you mean max server speed, and even then it will probably take a while to accelerate to that. You can get a regular pulse from a Push, but how that effects speed depends on the power of the Push and the mass of the ship. You could probably rig a Push system to adjust your...

The permission module will allow access to every one, regardless of faction. Currently permissions are all or none. This is a known issue and there have been hundreds of requests for this to change and just as many suggestions on how to implement such changes. Eventually the devs will get...

I obviously missed that. Combat isn't my biggest concern. Still, there are 4 weapon systems on this turret. 2 require leading (Cc/Mc), 2 require direct targeting (Bp,Mm). Even a human operator wouldn't be able to do both at the same time.

Yup. Nailed it on the head. The AI can't aim. The problem is the cannon fire actually travels thru space. The turret aims straight at the target, by the time the cannon fire reaches that spot the ship isn't there any longer. The AI needs to lead the target with cannons but that is a bit more...

Since the engine will be using LUA for several things, I'm wondering why we don't just go straight to an actual programmable computer. All the logic blocks are fun to mess around with, to a point. But really, this is supposed to be futuristic. I like the grid based logic as a middle ground, but...

I don't know about the random ore or the credits, but the rest can all be done by editing the config file. I agree the recipes need adjustment, but we are a long way from bothering with that. First we have to get all the stuff we need to build, then we have to get all the stuff we build out of.

Even if you don't scan a ship the name, pilot, and mass are available in the N list. I'm suggesting you need to make an active scan before that information can be transmitted via the alert system. Of course, if there is someone actually in the system and sees you, they don't need to scan. They...

Jump drives are not late game. I generally have one on my starter ship. It's small and inefficient, but it's a priority.

Definitely mesh/grill. The compressed texture on the edge would just look like some sort of support and well, catwalks.

Some thoughts... The general 'conflict in sector' should be sent to the whole faction, but a more specific 'X in attack Y' should be sent to faction within [limited radius]. 8 sectors? 1 system? Basically those who could reasonably respond. If the enemy is scanned, then their identity (ship and...

It looks like they are in the right place, but didn't rotate properly. Did you double check your mirror settings?

Actually, you did. I think you are attempting to compensate for your rose colored glasses. With regards to price this may be true initially, but eventually they will be able to afford more blocks. And then they will buy them and have 1k blocks. This just slows down the expansion of the ship...

Bubble shields used to be in the game. They were remove for many reasons. One of those reasons was the severe performance impact. Bubble shields are not going to happen.

Rocket Sled == Thruster + Power + Core The core also already fires a beam that can trigger logic.

You seem to think that by increasing the output value of the weapons that people will reduce the number of blocks that they use. "The cannon is 20% stronger now so I will get rid of 20% of my barrels and still have the same damage!" Sadly, that is not the case. Most players will simple respond...

Make it a sunvisor helmet instead. No need for a block.

One thing that seems to have been over looked is power consumption. The single power block on the torpedo is for the 'engine' and does not effect the warhead damage at all. In fact, the entire 'engine' assembly could be left off and the warhead's damage would not be affected. You can just as...
