Depends on how big your computer is. I know that some people can handle ships that are as big as the vengeance or the charon, but mine can only handle ships up to 3 million blocks :P

I'm surprised these old things haven't been posted here.

They're mining on Elwyn. They are somewhat active but they aren't doing much from what I can tell.

If it doesn't apply to at least a few recent old ones, I'd imagine that we're going to have a lot of old suggestions coming up all at once >_>

I didn't think it was going to be this soon though. But here it is, a 128 counter.

In case someone is on mobile and can't just find the image location.

I wonder what the exact numbers should be. It could be made that they are exactly as useful as each other, i.e. each recharge gives 5 s/s because each weapon gives 5 d/s and give capacitors 5(45)/2, 112.5, because that's the cost of a missile/pulse weapon.

I think the block behind the core is the push computer :P

...what happened to your admins?

As the title implies, I've made my counter even more efficient, more easily expandable, and easier to understand. I only have used this method up to a 32 count, but as far as I'm aware, it is 100% reliable and can handle any combination of inputs. Which is much better compared to the old <90%...

I think another point to consider in this is the manufacturing costs of weapons vs shields. At the moment, weapons are fairly easy to make, (or at least that's my experience) and shields are a bit harder. Not only that, but the passive effect to make shields more efficient is expensive. I think...

yes, and most engagements take place >100m, even with beam, it will miss ~1/10 shots on center at 100m, which is fine because you don't need to hit exact center, but it gets even less *accurate* at longer ranges, up to the point at which it basically doesn't have a chance of hitting.

Yes, but if the server settings puts AI accuracy at anything below 90, it just seems like they're trying to miss.

I remember that shipyards, or stations, are planned to be able to automatically make blueprints with blocks you feed into them. I don't remember what dev q and a it was is or where to find that info though, sorry.

You could do that but all the AI share their blueprints. If you have ai spawning cargo ships, you have pirates spawning cargo ships.

Nope. Not possible in SM. I believe something *similar* to this is planned with shipyards, but until then, blueprints work very well. Edit; thought this was in suggestions or something. A mod for this would be interesting, but I'm not sure that it's even entirely possible to mod in yet.

This can be cheated a bit though, when preparing for combat, I put my FoV to extremely low levels to better select targets and hit cores.

It will destroy everything docked to the entity. Some ships have quite a few turrets, and I often forget to add _dock, and so I would have to destroy every single one individually.
