Well, the thing about that is one of the reasons people make homebases is so that their ships don't get destroyed while they're offline. Of the above, Titansmasher's seige idea has the most merit, as it does protect the station and the ships on it. Spazzmatic, your idea would render ships...

A lot of people want wedges for lights and crystals. This has been vetoed because of concerns about block IDs. However, if we could combine all the block shapes into one, we actually gain IDs. I have determined a method to do this that (based on what I know) works with the current system. Pros...

Currently, AI is limited to 1 km distance. Someone could sit outside that distance and seige the base to death. Also, someone could just make a bigger gun. Do you honestly want every single player who sets up a homebase to have to stuff it with shields and turrets from the get-go or risk being...

Also, having solid numbers now means that it's easier to put in new systems later

The true on one-only is not the important bit. The important bit is that any input may toggle the output. When one input changes in your example, the output would change to false. This extended definition of XOR is more useful than your limited definition.

Sometimes, you want one large ship. Most of the time, you just want a few small ships.

Fading damage effect probably go under particle effects

Well, there needs to be transparent bits in the texture, but there's also a tag in the blockconfig

XORs will change state whenever an input changes state. Implementation should be to take the inputs and add them, and if it is odd, output true

Certainly not a bad idea; I hope this gets added into whatever other updates are planned for the universe.

So many agrees!!!

I'm sure it was also cackling madly at successfully getting your ships to fight.

Cool then. What if we made piercing be increased armor, and then had punch-through be collision resistance, and had snych be the decreased damping?

Give us the ability to customize the maximum extent of the effects, and we'll be fine once you get the feedback into the vanilla config. Also, on the note of the config: The shield and thrust values have a pre-multiplier and a post-multiplier value. These are redundant. value = post-multiplier...

So there should be a new effect, because there is a gap in the current existing setup. Synchronizing relative velocity, aka it is a royal pain in the behind to try to use the pull as a tractor beam. Why? because you have to be extremely careful about the amount of force you provide otherwise you...

Having ships actually charge each other when docked would be nice. You could make suicide drones without enough recharge to keep mass down, and it would eliminate the lag from having a bunch of beams and logic to make internal power work.

Well, when a small ship has full ion it's kinda ridiculous. Let me just park in front of a cruiser doing a weapons test, not a problem. Shouldn't ion effect be shield damage / (1 + ion) or something that won't give you invincibility ever? For that matter, the push and pull effects can't...

or you can open the block properties (not config) and it has a list of all the ids

I tried changing the constant drain to a fraction, and it turns out it's an int so we can't do that. :(

Prodceually generate based on which star system the player is in. Can you get access to coordinates from inside the shader?
