listen to the man! I had to learn this lesson myself with fighter wings.

sounds like you are getting the hang of it! What I want to see is a server where smaller ones matter. You could make power modules soft cap at about 1,000 e/s and shields at less, so that larger ships would have to have layouts like this in order to function. It would be good for Role...

What are your feelings on power and shield generator cores? I like RP and am signed up for T.C. when I return to school (where there is internet) but I'm excited right now for docked power generator cores. I want to play on a server devoted to them, that is designed to require all big ships to...

find a logic tutorial for a loop. (it is activation -> delay-> not -> first activation) I personally use a loop with an included on/off function, but is not necessary. Tie the power supply beam to the loop (link the activation module of the loop to the power supply cpu. It helps to have...

I think this should still work in the current version of the game: Simple looping logic (activation module -> delay -> not module -> back to first activation) link the activation module to a push module computer and every loop it will give you a push. you can use this method to travel long...

what we COULD use are TINY blocks to build our own weapons and tools!

you can also have a several-tier activation delay to simulate motion on large doors.

oh.... no, I don't maintain specific stocks like that, and I don't think you can. I just have an assembly line for each component all hooked to the big ore bin. (B.O.B.) on one end and the parts library on the other. (different libraries for hull, ship parts, weapons, etc) If I run out of a...

I don't know if I grasp what you are referring to, but all of my automated factory needs are met by the logic controls already in the storage units.

This is a great idea! You could install it on all ships of your faction, and have them hail members of your faction (if in range) when they are attacked.

I like this as an option for free build servers, but I also think that survival servers should have to use paint to change the color of hulls.

Pirate stations SHOULD be scrap. As should cities and pyramids that spawn on planets.

Me too

Something you are overlooking is that in dynamic economies, result per effort increases with size. The amount of resources you get per time increases exponentially with larger harvesters, and trading also serves to increase gathering capabilities. A ship like yours, MrFurb, might take 80 hours...

Buying ALL of the items from ALL of the shops seems a lofty goal. You also assume that no players do any sort of mining, scrapping, or manufacture. Players themselves may open shops, which I would prefer to the trade guild. Have you checked out the new "asteroid field" system? You can...

Don't think of it as a step back for the economy, think of it as a step forward for realism. Supply and demand are the true forces in an economy, not fiat value for the goods (which was the buy-ship-with-credits system). Before, the market was unrealistic, because Schema was the one setting...

YEA YEA YEA! HORAY FOR THIS!

I am in favor of the idea of "uploading" your blueprint to the trade guild shop, and "ordering" that ship, at the current parts prices in that shop, assuming the parts are in stock. There could even be a new, third kind of "shipyard" shop that would ONLY do it this way, and have very large...

I agree. Mass should be a variable.
