      Creating effective and efficient mining systems

      AFAICT It's the exact same a regular fleet mining, except: no "maneuvering" calculations (EG idiot drone bumped the asteroid, all other drones must re-set) no "missing beams" (EG, drones fire their beams at target resource, then pan left-to-right with remaining beam time) entire array hits...

      Turret AI baking in the sun

      is the turret factioned? are the pirates inside it's engagement range? do the "pirates" have atleast 1 weapon block? I seem to remember AI ignores ships that have zero threat.

      Creating effective and efficient mining systems

      your sector + every sector in a 3^3 cube surrounding it is loaded in. How long they stay loaded in after you change sectors is a value set in the server config. The more you know moment: This is why constant/instant-jump ships making their way in between galaxies can cause server lag. Load 9...

      Importing your favorite ship hulls per request (1 a month)

      Oh you have the STO models? Sweet. I had thought of telling you there was a rather good model of a d'kora in STO as one of those box-ships. Buddy of mine used it's onboard market to control the dilithium stocks back in the day. Whichever model you find easier to port would be awesome. Thanks...

      Creating effective and efficient mining systems

      Just build a cheap blob with plenty of storage, an (empty) 4:1 thrust to mass(storage will lower that as it fills) and some BASIC shields. Spawn in various copies of it, make a fleet, and send it to unloaded sectors to mine. Unloaded mining is WAY more efficient than loaded mining.

      dun forget the "free" 220 shield capacity, @ 0 regen. 75% of that goes "up chain" problem is...nav-swarm.

      Decorative Weapon Aperture

      mmm, I see what you're going for, but can't you already do this just by building a "muzzle" as the armor? I mean, It's standard fair for me to build a "weapon looking thingy" as the frontal/side armor for any of my ships weapon systems...

      Am i miss reading things orr

      Think of it this way: How long does it take you to turn your ship 180. That right there determines how likely you are to get/keep a target in your firing basket. (if the answer is "impossibru" you can use jump-drives to "hop" into a firing position with a good navigator. Keeping it is another...

      Auburn's noise

      Aha! So you're the guy I can blame for starmade black-screen-of-deathing on my Q6600 laptop. :D Old-hardware incompatibility aside, I do praise the RNG-god. Can't wait to see how you handle city/civilization generation.

      Am i miss reading things orr

      I'd split it into a core beam/beam/ion or shield-drain/beam that takes a little more than your after-thrust energy/sec, and a dozen mis/pulse/explosive block-killer nukes. Ship in the millions of structure should have most of it's DPS in self-powered turrets IMHO. Big ships just can't maneuver...

      Suggestion Allow editing of posts for certain time after creation only

      Suppose-so. i would think the difference matters quite a bit if this "problem" was to actually be looked at though. I recomend you go hunt through XF's documentation and se if there is a ready-written module or option to "fix" this problem. After all; it's easier to get a nail beaten-down if...

      Suggestion Allow editing of posts for certain time after creation only

      Doesn't record, or just doesn't display to non-mod/admin users? I've only admin'd VB and a custom SQL forum myself, so I can't say for sure about XenForo, but with VB there was the option for higher-ranked users to see histories and changes exactly as you describe.

      Isn't this what "last edited @" and "edit history" are for?

      lucky shot=slideshow lag though. dangerous the same way internal-docked-reactor used to be dangerous. area triggers do this too last I checked. with nice tiny mass.:)
