Ships die fine if your weapons don't suck. If by "spread it out" you mean "give it multiple outputs that hit in almost exactly the same place," sure you do. It's either that or have cannons that punch clean through any amount of systems, though. Insides ARE weak and easy to destroy. 25-100...

The point of the buffs is specifically so it's a better option to use a turret on your vehicle than just stand on top with a laser pistol. The reason it can't be AI operated is because otherwise it would be incredibly powerful for its block count.

I don't think they should be AI controllable. Not until we get crew, anyway. A weapon of that strength for a tiny block count would be OP if it didn't need a player/crew to operate. Unless you give it the power costs that a weapon like that would have if it was normal blocks, in which case...

Yes.

Ever tried to make a vehicle with small turrets? Yeah, that doesn't really work. What I'd like to suggest are small, one block turrets, that use handheld astronaut weapons. Visually, they'd be a quarter block that looked similar to the turret dock, with the small turret sitting on top. The...

Not really. The chances of a chaff cannon actually blocking the shot while everything is moving around is incredibly unlikely.

Please buff them, we need good warhead railguns!

Everything I've said has related to the topic on hand. Yes, you did. Theoretically, yes. However, if you boost the strength of all the systems (including hull), people will build ships with significantly more hull to fill in the gaps, and ships will be unbreakable armor bricks. If you...

I want you to look at a image of what an actual space craft's systems-to-interior ratio looks like. Also, massively increasing the strength of every block is a horrible way to fix our problems, especially considering how that isn't possible for armor blocks as they can't have more than 255 HP.

That's already functional, as long as the server admin enables it.

Do you play the game? Any server that doesn't have absurd mining multipliers means big ships are very expensive, and large ships are incredibly inefficient. Weapons get worse at breaking lots of things, armor costs more and more for the same thickness, thrust and rotation are slower, shields...

I think a good way to obtain fuel would be from gas giants, as well as a block on certain asteroid types. I like the idea of being able to get fuel out of water, so maybe that would mean we wouldn't even need to change the current asteroid generation, as there's already asteroids with ice on...

Proxy factions are semi-autonomous factions used to wage a proxy war that the main faction cannot engage in itself.

Personally, I think a display block slab and a keyboard slab would be better.

You mean the drones that got undocked and the turrets that got shot off during the fight that occurred when Azereiah was attacked at !tpspawn by a "coincidental patrol?" I realize that Az14el isn't technically IL, but seeing as how he's an perhaps you could do a better job of following the...

Is that what you call firing at people at ~tpspawn?

That's not aiming them, though. That's letting the AI aim, which comes with numerous downsides.

You could use the pickup rails for routing ships if you need something invisible.

Certain fleet formations have an inherent boost to offensive or defensive capabilities. I do not see a reason to artificially boost this.
