Wow, I missed the date completely.

Well, the idea is that if the shots converge anyway, you can give lead to a fast-moving target if, for example, you're firing a cannon at a distant vessel, especially a fast one.

1. What? RP has nothing to do with weapons. We can't distinguish between an RP ship and a PvP-only ship, at least not effectively. Further, if shots are going through your shields, well, get stronger shields. ANY shot or missile that hits your hull has already dropped your shields to 0, so...

Ummmm.......most of this was discussed on this thread here, if not all of it: Recognized - Cloak, Jam, and Scan. System Revamp Especially the chat idea, which sounds neat...until you realize that you can't stop third-party chat software...which will just make this unnecessary and useless.

Well, in order to free-fire (Without a block under the cursor) you either end up leaving them without a convergence point or you need some way to set them. That's my point.

You still need some way to set the range at which this focusing happens, unless you plan to have instant and unlimited accurate ranging on any blocks you might click on...

JNC What you have there is a Star Destroyer's main turret. The two barrels each have a 50 meter diameter. So yes, large-scale turret right there. (I actually own the particular book that that picture comes from) I like the idea of being able to control a battery of guns. Makes large vessels much...

My thought was to have a completely in-game tutorial system. As in, the first time a user looks at a block or enters a ship core, a video pops up on the side of the screen (After an intro video that is short and mentions how to access help) that describes the things that can be done with that...

I support some variation on this idea, because the ammunition is what gives a weapon its strength, and ammo is not usually stored in the barrel of a turret..... Perhaps only allow secondary effects in the base, with primary modules ONLY allowed on the barrel portion. (As in, the cannon modules...

Just a random thought as I looked at this thread.....Has anyone else noticed that the "In Development" tag is misspelled? I agree with the tag, as a system for this is planned. Really, this game is sort of like Bethesda games, in which you choose who and what you're going to be (Even if there's...

Shame on us? Did I not raise a valid point?

Yeah, hence the use of plurals. If I didn't want multiple selections, I would've used a singular word. Actually, multiple singular words, which comes close to being an oxymoron. Also, if I didn't want the expanded functionality of multiple selections, I'd be an idiot. And/or a fool.

Might just take a look. Sometime.

Neat idea, but definitely use another keybind (Don't replace the C key for aligning to galactic place). Very useful to align in a particular orientation relative to, say, a station, or planet segment.

Karride, what name are you talking about? aRottenKomquat, yes, this is a Disney-bashing thread. All reasonable threads are Disney-bashing threads. It's the right thing to do. ;)

....The Errant Venture, Booster Terrik's privately owned, mostly disarmed Star Destroyer? From the Star Wars Expanded Universe (EU)? Yes? No? Come on now, has nobody read the books? They're really good, usually.

Errant Venture? Someone been reading some EU material?

There's no need to bypass the system in this way. Small ships have weaker weapons and faster motion than large ships. Always. All you're proposing, in effect, is to reduce the size of killing machines....and to make every ship move slower, as their density will be multiplied. Which will make it...

This is SPACE, not an ocean. THREE-DIMENSIONAL GRID! Each grid-space corresponding to a number of meters (Which you choose). Ships can appear as a labeled bounding box (In this 3-D view) which will prevent you from trying to overlap them in the grid.

Actually, Jaaskinal, it does....from a certain point of view. It allows you to *see* more detail, in the form of a larger pattern (Somebody standing on the North American continent can't perceive the continent as a continent, but someone orbiting the Earth can see the continent as a continent)...
