The tab-f6 thing was removed because unloaded chunks don't collide so it could essentially be used to no-clip through otherwise impassable defenses.

It was quite a few updates ago (around the weapon update?) but updates have been coming faster lately and I don't have the best sense of time so it may well have come in after you left. And yes combat has changed, armor now boasts better protection than shields when used correctly at the cost of...

People can't do ball turrets? I made an R18 one in half an hour.

I like this idea only in reverse and with a gigantic slab of armor instead of a reactor :P

When a ship is under fire its shield regen drops to anywhere between 5 and 10 percent of the norm, with the numbers you have just supplied it would seem that shield supply beams provide 7.5% of the normal shield regen. This makes perfect sense because if they did not count as under fire then...

My personal armor system laughs at your shields ability to only take 500 million damage in one go.

I've never known this to be the case and never had problems with mass enhancers even when they first came out and were allegedly bugged, iirc default mass enhancers add 3.5 mass capacity (starts at 50) to all the rail on that ship.

We already have tech! docked reactors for power and shields, more efficient armor layouts and so much more.

Why do bugs take so long to fix? because finding the cause of bugs is hard and it takes a lot of testing to verify that a bug is actually caused by what you think is causing it.

And suddenly I need help with shield reactors, wiki has no info on shield supply beam stats and I don't trust the in-game stat display.

The griefing potential would be incredible. And it could be checker-boarded via logik linked computers thus side-steeping any debuff to multiple outputs; logic could also circumvent the long reload.

I didn't know how until 2 days ago, took all of 2 hours to work it out.

I know of at least one combat benefit that can be gained from having an interior manned by at least one other player crew member.

They currently give you 50% of the power and that is due to a bug (they are supposed to give you 66%) And even at 50% they are vastly more efficient than solid blocks to the point that with docked reactors you can theoretically perma-cloak/jam a ship of any size.

Its just the sum of the dimensions m8

Unless you're ship is about 3 times bigger than the one you intend to target you're not going to do anything meaningful with you're damage split over that many effects.

That is because mesh simply has gaps in the texture while glass actually has transparency that tints things behind it.

I see a lot of people, even otherwise experienced builders, asking for help with simple logic and rail devices. This thread is for those people; if you want me to help you understand how a logic or rail device works, or even just build the whole thing for you then simply post a comment below...

So do we have that confirmed now? it takes a rotor 0.8 seconds to turn 180 degrees at the fastest speed setting?

Disintegrators/warheads only ignore the shields of the entity they are directly attached too, rest of your ship should be fine.
