According to my experience PD turrets work well if they already point in the right direction, but if not their turn rates are far too low. Turn rates for turrets should be mass based (=much higher for very small turrets). ... which may or may not hit the missile, which turns the whole thing...

Right, a pentagon can be made out of three triangles, while each cube requires two triangles per visible face, and each triangle costs GPU power.

That sounds ridiculously overpowered.

What is the AI good for when there are no weapons?

Empty space with drag has nothing to do with Newtonian physics.

A hypothetical ether, the existance of which was disproven, would not interact with matter, only light.

Do you want to limit max speed or max acceleration?

I wonder when the first disposable drone carrier (with a small jump ship to get back to base and bring the next one) is developed...

I tested it with v0.1867, one salvage beam block, no slave, fully charged core, reactors removed, all values are identical to yours. Energy consumption is ~130 and burst length is definitely longer than 3s.

40 power per seconds seems correct, however, one burst consumes ~130 power and takes ~3.25 s.

A powersupply beam block consumes 50 power and supplys 40 power. A power reactor block produces 25 energy/s without dimensional bonus. Thus it's hard to make a modular reactor which supplys significantly more power than built in reactors. And powersupply beams require way more resources to craft...

Fast accelerating fighters can kill their pilots just as well. Just wait for the new thrust mechanics. It's either a squared or a cubed law (the latter is correct) but not both. A ship twice as long/wide/tall has 8 times the volume and mass.

What do you think of this highly popular suggestion about determining turn rates of ships and turrets? Do you plan to improve the ellipsoid helper? Ellipsoids aren't very symmetrical atm, and ellipsoids with even diameters aren't possible.

The different planet sections should have numbers.

Yes, and?

If you feel that unrealistic, artificial speed limits for capital ships are appropriate then your feeling is strange. Friction in StarMade only exists for convenience reasons, in real space there's no friction, and without friction the only limit is the speed of light.

You activated the AI? My turrets even shoot my own missiles if not factioned.

Because you can't deplete the power of a titan with a handful of drones?

1. Modular docked reactors are still better than built in power reactors of the same size (without dimensional bonus), but the difference hardly justifies the much higher prize of powersupply beam blocks. 2. Place a turret docking block, spawn a ship core, enter core, go into flight mode...

They should be more common now, have you started a new universe after the respective patch?
