      Salvaging as an Astronaut

      Interesting concept. While tedious, I would take the time to salvage from a derelict station by hand just to get something besides scrap after a battle. To be honest, part of me feels like overheating ships and station should only yield armor, hull and terrain blocks and turn everything...

      Salvage Beam Alternate Mode

      30 meters long? Is that 15 and 15 for the stagger or a straight 30? I find the best power efficiency seems to be around 10-12 meters long. I have to admit, I kinda like that salvage missile idea. It reminds me of collector limpet drones from Elite Dangerous. For the record, (and not...

      Salvage Beam Alternate Mode

      A little cranky this evening? Are you an autistic wanna be tough guy or is it just that time of the month again? Also, yes; reality does suck. There is a lot of deplorable shit going on in the world these days; due in part to the greed, corruption and mindlessness of both today's generation...

      Salvage Beam Alternate Mode

      We don't have to make a giant brick to salvage asteroids. People are just impatient; a common characteristic of today's generation. Whenever I make salvagers, I tend to work the design into an existing ship type. I use 8-10 meter long arrays with a double layer waffle pattern and rig...

      MOTIVATION: Estimated time of the co-existence of the current and new power systems?

      While I too am chomping at the bit, (yes; I know I spelled it wrong...), I think that a request for promises and estimates is a bit unrealistic. You cannot predict how long it will take to make software and it's not like we are coding the game for them. On the other hand, I think the Schine...

      Tired of updating ships? Make them hollow.

      Indeed... Split second Blade Runner meets Alien. Supposedly horror/action. In reality, it's more like a British dark comedy with a hint of horror...

      Tired of updating ships? Make them hollow.

      You've learned... That's what this game is all about; creating crazy ways to push your ships to their limits. (y) When the power update is finally released, it's only a matter of time before I build a new version of the Mobile Command System. When I do, I'll be sure to reserve a bay for...

      Tired of updating ships? Make them hollow.

      I'll bet it maneuvers like a wet sponge too. Seriously; that's some WarHammer 40K level stuff.

      Tired of updating ships? Make them hollow.

      20 meters? See... this is why I follow the A-10 philosophy. My experiences in multi-player have caused me to take it for granted that all other ships I might encounter have 500 Million shields and 50 meters of armor on all sides. At a minimum... The average size of my ships is between...

      Tired of updating ships? Make them hollow.

      I have a few promising RP ships and "hollows" built mainly for show but no amount of eye candy is going to keep the citizens of the United Star Axis safe from pirates and warlords. As such, I tend to follow the "A-10 Warthog" Philosophy. Meaning I build a big gun, then I mount a ship to that...

      Do Warheads work?

      Hell yeah! I'd wire the crap out of my bases to make intrusions/invasions a nightmare! Anyone not wearing an advanced armor power suit would end up looking like strawberry jam on toast. The one thing I'd add; Warheads should not get protection from shields. This paves the way for things...

      Do Warheads work?

      Typical... Here's a little test battle I cooked up a while back. To the left is my Pathfinder MK6; a 9,000 mass ship with adv. armor after 20 missile strikes (over 250K damage each) with the shields down. The ship to the right is a standard hull prototype version of the Pathfinder that was...

      Do Warheads work?

      1) Agreed +1000... This is a key element to eliminating anonymous/griefing attacks. 2) Agreed. However, we will need to agree on a number. Nothing too crazy but enough to match a medium power missile; bearing in mind that warheads are single use. 3) This needs to be done is such a way...
