Gun shrouds, fake recoil for massive weapons.

I was thinking that they would be destroyed by the visible bubble rather than the damage. You wouldn't need them to actually hit the bubble it would just be if they get within X distance that starts at 0 and increases to keep pace with the bubble.

Nice build, my one criticism is the cluttered small detail, try replacing some of it with larger details that add character to the ship such as armor plates.

How about we make pulses destroy bullets and missiles? gives them a nice defensive use if you have the timing.

I miss the old pulses which had their range based off system dimensions. It would be nice to have the size scale with the weapon in some way, rather than having a single preset size.

No effects and I replicated the results on a fresh install.

Strange. Looks like I'm going to have to find another explanation for 5mil damage missiles being completely negated by huge chunks of unshielded advanced armor.

Don't worry lots of people don't know this. Missiles simultaneously apply damage to all blocks in their radius, if every block is destroyed then they repeat the process for a slightly larger radius and keep doing so until they run out of damage. In the case of advanced armor if it fills the...

Just a warning that against extremely hardened targets (advanced armor plating 10+ blocks thick) smaller missiles may do 0 block damage.

Ok I'll post em after school.

I'm afraid in that volume the best I can get is 500k pulsing or 125k constant. The reactor is easy to fit in but even if I where to fill the entire volume with energy supply beams it still wouldn't be able to keep up with a 1 mil output. It could constantly keep up with a 150,000ish output at...

117k for a 31x6x6 reactor? because just lines gets you 136k.

Megacrafter127: First design for an 80x80x100 reactor is (not yet) cylindrical and is made up of 80 individual 19m^3 reactors each having an output of 758,000 e/sec. Its not the most efficient but its equally resistant to attack from all directions due to the difficulty it causes for the enemy...

You know there are designs that hit the soft cap inside a 22^3 right? just place one of those and fill the rest of the volume with solid power blocks and you won't loose efficiency. That being said I'll make them anyway because an overdone reactor is more resistant to damage than a single...

So after having a lot of fun with trying to build an 11m^3 reactor to the highest possible efficiency, and later trying to optimize a 6x6x31 reactor with some success; I have decided to open a reactor workshop where I will offer two services: Post an existing reactor and I'll do my best to get...

After 3 iterations of reactors within the stated volume I was able to get 136974.1 e/sec. This may only be 0.55% more efficient but it does show that lines are not necessarily the most efficient design, though I did use 2 more blocks than a line reactor. EDIT: Iteration 4 generates 137920.8...

I could too but restrictions are half the fun. Also the designs are compatible with any cuboid shape, not just cubes.

I love building reactors. After half an hour of messing with repeating patterns I got an 11^3 reactor with 110054.6 e/sec :p EDIT: Make that 117892.7 e/sec with a slightly lower mass than the previous design. EDIT 2: Make that 130596.3 e/sec at the same mass as the previous design. Thats 25%...

+1 for making blocks take damage rather than vanishing.

However some people have done it with logic.
