I also thought that mounting a turret onto another turret caused all directional control to go to the top most turret. Is this not how that works?

That is sweet looking! Reminds me of the moldy crow:

Yes, you can dock a turret to a docked wing. You can dock a turret to another turret, just be ready for the top turret to assume control over all rotational axis lol. The docked entity's shields take the hit first. Any remaining damage left over after the shields are drained gets passed up to...

It's fun to talk about though! And hijack threads over...

All very true. I just don't think we'll see a return to huge massive battleships. The dreadnoughts, and post dreadnought battleships were all built around their main guns. The Yamato was such a huge monster because that's exactly how big it had to be to be able to safely use those massive 18"...

Hey, less is more! Lol Also: These are all great. Keep it up!

Yeah, I saw the detail you put in to those stations. Very impressive! There's only 1 person I play with, and I know him IRL lol. Trying to get more buddies together and start my own server, but I'm mainly focusing on filling out my fleet roles. Haven't had to deal with an arms race, but if I...

I see. I'm primarily an RP type guy, though I can appreciate pure function. From what I've gathered so far, my own weapons layouts seem a bit...insane. and not the smart, scary type of insane. More like, pants on head while wielding a knife type of insane. Still, your stuff looks really good...

Hey, Dr. Whammy, I've been curious about an aspect of your ships: what kind of RP elements, if any, do you incorporate into your designs? Such as, what do you consider reasonable crew sizes? Do you go so far as to make sure you have enough " living space" in proportion to your duty stations? If...

Real world precedent: the USN first battleship was only 308' long and weighed about 6,500 tons. The last battleship was 887' long, and weighed around 57,000 tons! Classify your ships how you want. The whole point is to identify their role, not simply their size. Just keep in mind that of you...

This is a good idea. While the core is overheating, you still have a chance to salvage the wreck as a functioning vessel. Take too long, and you miss that. But it still offers a reason to go hunting for disabled wrecks. Scrap is useful!

No argument here! Lol

I'm just gonna leave this here lol Close-in weapon system - Wikipedia

What would keep you from selecting each individual block and setting their shape? Or have I fundamentally misunderstood his idea? Lol

A Although I enjoy the current building mechanic, I forsee a LOT of potential in this, and it would be really cool to see this type of system implemented.

Well, if you dontbwant your targets to shoot back, pick targets that CAN'T shoot back. While missiles and aircraft have superseded the big guns of the last century, in a way we're bringing that kind of weapon back: the railgun in the new overpriced, underperforming and constantly broken...

Look up the starmade tutorials by Bench on YouTube. He'll show you the basics on how all the systems work.

HOLY CRAP, my frigate made it into one of your videos! I'm honored! Always enjoyed watching what you do, and getting on the first "ship of the week" video this year was really cool! Glad you liked the ship, as well!

It's just uploading a copy. It doesn't erase anything from your computer.

Both hard drives are HDD's. I'm totally gonna change my server settings tonight. Thanks!
