I like alterintel's idea. However: Make it so that effects and secondaries can be placed in the base. That way, it acts like a real weapon (Effects are in the ammo, sheer firepower comes from size/barrel length) and is not too overpowered.

Woah....maybe go smaller on turret numbers. Over 1000 entities on a multi-million block vessel is just begging for lag and crashes. Maybe make some absurdly large turrets (And no multiple barrels on a turret base. Those just glitch out. They won't track targets properly) and place down fewer of...

Yeah, Star Trek seems to have forgotten the laws of physics and rules of survivability. Thin bits connecting engines tend to break (Forces don't like to be applied that way) and get shot. Also, why a disk? A flat disk is just asking for missiles to destroy entire sections of the ship (No...

Wonderful view from a distance. WONDERFUL. MORE PICTURES! Actually, more progress, then MORE PICTURES!

He already mentioned that it was, Anubis. As long as it's not an actual canon ship, you should be fine.

Actually, Edymnion, only cannons can hit missiles right now, for whatever reason.

I'd say have one or two replicas for comparison.

If they're set like that, you can get away with 4 independent rotation entities per group of Archer pods. That'd give you two doors per hatch cover, just like you wanted, while also cutting down on overall cores used.

If you have many doors close together....perhaps have them all rotate off of the same base? Only problem is that the hinges each door would have much all share 2 coordinate points with each other, otherwise the doors won't open properly/will look very strange.

The problem is that shipyards are terrible. Every time you use one, you risk ships vanishing into nothingness the next time you create a ship in the shipyard...and that's only one of the glitches that they have. So, no, shipyards do not help encourage people to get into combat. Once they work as...

You probably won't want to go with two doors per silo, and it might be easiest to just make them sliding covers. That's what I do with the doors I've made so far. Especially since ships like these carried dozens of Archer pods...adding up to 2*several dozen=Many, many cores. Cores=Lag...usually.

So, you point in a direction, the computer reduces your velocity in all other directions, and accelerates you in that direction? As long as it's a toggle. High-speed strafing and similar maneuvers are easier with the present uncorrected system. Also, if you want this, you could just hold the...

So, a non-Newtonian corrected flight mode? Basically, inefficiency in thrust in return for aircraft-like motion? Is that what you're thinking, GRHayes?

The problem is that right now none of the four principle weapons systems have restrictions on the kinds of damage they deal...which means that this one operates in a substantially different and potentially confusing way. Yes, damage pulse is useless. Perhaps this is the way to fix it. I...

Can't wait for the new textures---they look absolutely amazing.

How exactly do they move? Star Wars style or realistic?

Mining drones with one emitter work best. Anything else, well, not so much. If you want multiple emitters, perhaps a logic clock started by wireless logic that fires all the beams around the central beam (Which is controlled by the AI).

Yeah. No rewards needed. Your stuff all looks great.

And do NOT forget the faction mod. NEVER FORGET IT! Otherwise your torpedo is an unguided piece of useless garbage.

In space, capital vessels must generally start engagements with minimal movement. They have so much inertia, they can't go plunging into a battle at maximum velocity. Caps would also have to maneuver very little. Very much a slugging fest in space. Fighters maneuver a lot, of course, but the...
