What they are saying is that a smaller (not tiny) spaceship should be able to take down a bigger spaceship, even 1 vs 1, as long as the smaller spaceship utilizes better tactics and just uses their available weapons and systems better. Just like a smaller ship can beat a bigger one that way.

Having a shield block only add 1 shield is kinda.. well, it's too little.

Yeah I know that they can expose the bottom, I just don't find an exposed turret bottom all that bad, considering they can't aim up thaaaat far.

Never make the bottom of a turret hull, there is no use in that. You barely see the bottom when it moves around.

No no, not turret spam. I'm talking about lower profile turrets. :P I'm saying those look better than high turrets. A big flat disk also doesn't look great though. And of course turrets need space between eachother, so they don't get blown off all at once, but also for the looks.

Well my idea wasn't a missile that can ignore all-shields, but only the shields of objects docked to turret docks. That way turrets can be protected by the mothership's shield, without being invulnerable until the mothership's shield is down since a bomber strikecraft could engage it easily, but...

Haven't you seen the calculations some people have done? Weapons blow away shields in literal seconds as of now. Turrets and small craft have no chance at all to survive any hit. I do agree though that hull needs to gain way more importance in combat. Right now it's more of a decorative block...

Just to clarify: I know what exponential means. But if shields are exponential, so must be weapons. The shields, no matter if exponential or not, do certainly need more capacity though and more regen (at least out of combat).

I'm not saying a fighter should take on a capital ship, but a 50,000 blocks ship shouldn't easily dominate a 35,000 blocks one. (might be bad example numbers) The 35k blocks one should at least have a chance as long as it flights right and uses tactics or its weapons better or whatever. It...

Small turrets look better though, big turrets stick out of the ship's shape so much. >.> I know that it would ruin a bit of the tactical part of the game if turrets were covered by the hostship's shield, but at least we wouldn't need those huge turrets then to effectively put turrets on our...

Hm, true. Don't want to punish small ships. Another issue perhaps is that weapons scale linear, while shields don't? You will always need more shield blocks to protect against more guns, the bigger the guns get, the greater the amount of shielding. Perhaps shields should scale linear, too? Would...

Nobody commented on "Shields should always use power in order to balance huge capacities" or did someone? Capacity should matter more in combat than regeneration in my opinion. Small ships should be able to take out bigger ships, as long as the small ship actually flies better and uses tactics...

Yeah, we need even more capacity so fights can actually last, not be over in a few seconds. Regen can be slow, since during combat you shouldn't regen much anyway, but it should be high enough so that when the fight is over you don't take forever to fill up your shields agian.

I must say I do very much love that we now have shield generators and shield capacitators. But I do feel like the shield capacity is too low, especially on smaller starfighters or on turrets now. I would prefer if we had more capacity, but simply no regen during combat. Regeneration should pause...

And why did they change shield-capacity again. It doesn't scale linear anymore, I hate that. I do much rather have a timer on shield-regen again and keep the shield-regen blocks but I prefer to have high shield capacities, so people can get some good shielding, that can actually be worn down.

I think they were being sarcastic, since you can't just quickly switch 20 turrets.

Nah, but you could just mount multiple guns on the turret, or have some ion, some overdrive turrets?

Not for me. For me it doubled damage against shields but lowered it against hull.

Yep, I thought so, too. I'm testing that right now. I turned the screen downwards so I can see which computer is which without rying around.

Anyone knows a work around to an extremely annoying bug? The bug being the following: The weapons are fired up in a 90° angle when you fire when you look from the core, if you use a cockpit it's okay. The issue is though that the weapons I'm talking about are mounted on a turret and the AI's POV...
