Is your PROJECTILES_ADDITIVE_VELOCITY true or false? Does anybody know if AI can handle both options equally well?

In single player (or as an admin) you can also use /shop_restock and by the new blocks.

I'm still not sure if it makes sense. :p What I meant was that I don't have suffient information about the new weapon system to validate your suggestion, I didn't say it's bad.

I was thinking about ellipsoids >50m.

I'm not sure if this makes much sense with the new weapons system. But at least the size of the graphical effect of projectiles/beams/missiles should be proportional to their damage. It looks ridiculous when a huge cannon fires tiny bullets.

I really need this, especially ellipsoids. Making them manually is a pain in the bottom. Lol, not for me.

Cool. :cool:

I hate the current docking system (aside from the fact that docking itself is a great feature), it really limits creativity. It forces us to either build angular hangars and cubic ships, or to waste a lot of space. I made a fighter which looks like a bumblebee without wings; it isn't pretty...

It's absolutely possible to fly a perfect curve without drifting in space, even better than with a plane. All that is needed is thrust going sideways. Proper synchronization of rotation and sideways acceleration is a bit difficult, but this can be automated, making flying a curve as simple as...

This is what's planned.

I rather have the problem that I can't use more than one rating for a single post. I also miss the possibility to rate ratings, for example to disagree with a post being funny or old.

I think cubes are a legitimate way of learning the game mechanics, especially with the new, more complex weapon system. How about: "Nice, you made an efficient ship! Now shape that into something non-ugly."

I have a feeling that everybody has a different opinion on what an alpha or beta is or should be. An alpha is a working but incomplete software version, a beta a feature complete, but bugged and (in case of games) unbalanced version, and a gold version is a virtually bug-free version that can be...

The problem I see is that players will use mods or third party tools to get this information, which would make these mandatory.

I'm really sorry, but this leads to my next complaint: The new weapon system might lead to a rock, paper, scissors-style meta game (like e.g. Gratuitous Space Battles). I think players will build defenses against the most likely or most dangerous weapon modifications into their ships, having all...

In Win 7 MS Paint produces asymmetric circles. That's the Microsoft philosophy: newer = worse.

Ship HP doesn't protect the crew from piercing weapons.

But hull becomes even more useless. I suggest you make shield blocks in different colors and shapes. :p

Sounds totally OP to me, because sooner or later someone comes up with an X-ray mod and easily kills the crew.
