Huh? Ion does work. 100% Ion effect means your weapons do double damage against shield, but barely any (or even none?) against hull.

Ohh, okay.

I understand what you mean. But what about people who build multiple turrets that all have the same kind of look, but have different sizes and functions. So, the ships that person builds fits the look-sheme of the turrets, so it doesn't matter which turret is put where, or not much at least. I...

A cross was the most effective? Is it the same with power? I thought a simple long line was the most effective.

Hey people. I know that if you have a Turret Mk I docked to a ship, then save the ship in the catalog, then the next time you buy the ship, it will spawn with the turret. Now, I wonder what if you saved the turret before that and then upgrade the turret (Now Mk II) and then buy the ship? Would...

It certainly does not discourage it, it even creates the possibility. Before you had two weapon systems, that's it. There's no choice there. Just big or small.

A key block system would be cool, but not just a single power block, bigger ships should need bigger generators. I do agree on the freespace issue though, I also wish that having a nice looking ship with a neat interior wouldn't be such a disadvantage. EDIT: Reply to Blxxper Well, the thing is...

Thank you!

I want your HUD. Which one is it? Sorry for off topic. >.>

Yay! That's awesome. I will take that in consideration once I start to build stuff again, but I'll properly wait until a few patches and whatnot happened, I'm kind of afraid of building big things, knowing that big changes will come. >.> Good changes of course, but changes nonetheless! Changes...

Yeah, but the ion blocks do not use power, unlike extra weapon blocks. Which means that a weapon using effects is more effecient then one using raw block-firepower.

I'm playing around some with the weapon systems and the effect. The ion effect is useless as of now, isn't it? I mean, yeah, it doubles your damage against shields and lowers your damage against hull alot (If you have it on a 100% support), so you can make specialized anti-shield weapons but...

Wouldn't box dimensions mean that just having a long line of thrusters would make them quite strong? Quite vulnerable, too, but still. I still prefer box dimensions though so we don't need as much space to build functioning thrusters.

Ohh, that sounds quite interesting.

Upcoming thruster rework?

Power works in -box- dimension? =o I thought it just works in line dimensions, so making a grid out of power and whatever else you want is a good set up: Power: X Somethign else: O XOX OXO XOX I don't thinkt that you need to make power cubes of which only the edges are power gens and the...

Well, I wrote "mass". I didn't mean churn out 3 ships per second or anything like that. Or even per hour. Or per day. And small ships shouldn't take too long to build, that would be boring. You also forget that if you build a drydock for a 200m ship, your 500m shipt still cannot be build. You...

I hope that it is more effecient against shields to use the ion effect than to just use the overdrive effect. Otherwise why would anyone use the ion effect?

No, I mean like, the first ship to build would take longer since you first have to build the things that gather ressources for you and also the fitting yard. But after you got the basics for a "mass" production set you can start to build more ships in quicker succession, as long as the...

The game isn't fully optimized yet. Hm, perhaps instead of actual AI ships it would more be like.. like, you send 3 AI gathers in a sector, then their effience is calculated based on the asteriods, their salvage beams, their speed and their storage. So the game calculates that they would be able...
