      No, because you've got the capacity, this is just giving you a rapid vent for it that's NOT permanent. Say all the systems you could fit are drawing, except, Idk, a nuke that you don't want to / can't manage to punch through an enemy's defenses to use; you have no use for this capacity, unless...

      Lol. Docked reactor + penetrating cannon round + lucky (read: unlucky for server) shot on docker = Sli---deshow.

      Another Star Wars Inspired Ship

      I like minimalistic. It's more realistic. If people can make that epic-looking crystal matrix and crap in their vessel, great, I love it. But for stubbornly un-artistic me, I just make it work. I get an idea, I'll go with it, but once it functions and isn't a newbcube, I'm good enough. At least...

      Planned Fleet Formations

      A few suggestions. They throw some behaviors in with the formations, however, which may need to be 2 separate things. First, an orbital formation. This just assigns an entity, inside or outside the fleet, to the vessels. They then proceed to patrol around it, in 3D space, not just 2 dimensions...

      Classing Ships for Fleets

      Neat idea for the set power lines, and I can see some ships to build off a setup like that ... Anyways, neat idea, but say I run all rapid-fire heavy cannon armament off many, many turrets on a small glass cannon type ship ... and I have 2 mil regen on, Idk, a 2K mass, 20-25K block ship (I think...

      Another Star Wars Inspired Ship

      My 3K block corvette design (unnamed as of now) uses transporters. I just saved all the blocks from the underside access to the topside bridge that would have been used for a nice-looking claustrophobic corridor. But OK, if that's how you like it. I just like to save space. I'm an efficiency...

      This game would be a lot more fun if...

      I love Criss's answer. For repairing ships ... no, you cannot generate blocks. You got yourself in that mess, get yourself out. You want PvP, build something expendable or build something bigger and badder than the other guys. Then you don't have to repair too often. For shops replacing blocks...

      Planned Keep a Steam-Free Option

      Man, you don't like Steam, do you? Steam isn't a terrible cost for games like this, but yeah, having a separate executable is nice. Might result in more profit for Schema when it becomes a purchased game only, because they're not running through that intermediary. Although, perhaps running Steam...

      Another Star Wars Inspired Ship

      Make a turbolift. Sliding door closes, and you use a standard, probably 3x3, teleporter array to move around. Saves you on corridors and shafts, still looks neat, and also, it's faster.

      Drone Wars Competition , Season 2

      Set it up with explosive rounds to deal more damage to small targets. Nice X-Wings. I gotta make some myself, one of these days. I've got a TIE Fighter and Y-Wing Bomber (made by Madman but we work together), and a Republic Frigate (more or less to scale, the length is right but I think the...

      Plus logic takes up valuable space on smaller vessels, that could be used for other things like, Idk, more thrust, power, or firepower ... something useless like that. :)

      Why do you build big ships?

      My largest current ship is an empty hull still, incomplete but getting there. It's sitting at, I believe, 89K blocks. I built it big because I got a good idea for a big ship, and I wanted to see it, so I built it. Mostly. The design changed, but I still thing some refinement and greebling will...

      Suddenly Sentient Ships

      Did the 2nd ship take fire from the first? If its shields dropped and it took hull damage, even unfactioned, neutral ships will begin assaulting the attacking vessel, immediately. Other than that, Idk.

      Read by Council Sitting

      I'd like to see it. That would mean you could have a weirdly built diamond ship and still sit on the outside while rescuing friendlies who clipped out of the station or... something... awkward like that.

      Factories have me completely baffled.

      I think the best way to do it would be have a few straight-through setups; they constantly run, as you feed the correct raw materials in, they spit out basic things like jumpdrive setups (make ALL computers separately though), cannon/missile/beam (main weapons used), and advanced armor...

      Drone Wars Competition , Season 2

      Time to build some new and improved gunship drones. I recently refitted a crappy design as an AMS turret testbed. I might just reuse it... in a suitably improved format, of course. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

      PvP Anti-Player Research

      Unless said Titan subscribes to my philosophy of anti-small-crap defense: Ultra-heatseeking-missile-array-of-doom. Just fire loads of powerful heatseeking missiles and you should be good. Max scatter effect for a few turrets, or min scatter effect for many, many outputs. Doesn't matter. The...
