They used to be easy to break. Back when explosive radius could penetrate the hull and hit things docked inside your ship. These days you have to blow a hole in the ship and physically reach them before you can take them out, and at that point they're no different from non-docked reactors.

Great, now if you couldn't get around the power limits with docked generators, that might be effective.

Its called an exaggeration for comedic effect. If anything you do in a video game about making imaginary space ships out of virtual blocks can be considered morally wrong, then damn, I wanna know what you were doing because I've been playing it wrong! :)

Not really, no. Thats a long exposure shot. It doesn't look that bright to your naked eyes.

Its in the root Starmade folder.

So you want to invalidate the entire rule with a single exception? Honestly, this is getting off topic, but sure. By this logic there is no giganticism in the game. It doesn't exist because building smaller has across the board advantages? I don't feel the need to defend the position that...

Fleet controls alone won't really solve the problem, I'm afraid. Because it just means one person driving a titan can now drive a titan and a fleet of smaller ships as well, and it will still boil down to who has the biggest ships. As long as economy of scale says a single big ship beats a...

While I don't agree that the concept of some form of block based melee weapon is inherently non-viable, I do agree that this isn't worth continuing because you guys have gone well out of your way to shut down any discussion on how to make it viable. For people who claim to dislike titans, you...

Which will hopefully become an option once fleet control comes out. Right now though that is not an option for a single player.

Funny, the entire point of this thread was to come up with a new kind of weapon. Its been mostly the "Don't you dare make it so my titan might get blown up!" crowd that has been complaining. Because apparently anything that allows anything that isn't itself a titan to even scratch another...

Lol, well then clearly you are exploiting cheap tricks and need to be nerfed! :P Nothing but two titans too big to turn that park next to each other while turrets automatically trade shots are allowed in this game!

Well, the prevailing attitude seems to be that the game should be nothing but two titans parked next to each other until everybody gets 2 fps as the turrets trade shots automatically because the ships are too big to turn. And anything else is morally wrong.

And here is where your assumption is wrong. I have no problem building bigger and better ships. I want a new mode of gameplay that doesn't devolve into parking two titans next to each other and seeing who's turrets win. I want something that actually has ship size be a preference choice, and...

Again, where exactly am I saying it should do that? Please, explain to me how it would insta-kill a titan in a way that doesn't apply to warheads? "Oh, make a big wall of them!" Okay, throw a thousand warheads at it. If we're going to go for absurd, then lets go for absurd. You can...

If you think a suicide vest (albeit one that does not blow you up) is a melee weapon, that might be the source of the issue here, because we're clearly not using the word to mean the same thing.

And we're back to claiming that the warhead is balanced and useful? Really?

So... tell me how you get any weapon in the game that doesn't have that applied to it? That it either has to treat armor like it doesn't exist or it isn't worth firing? There are no melee weapons of any kind in this game. Well here's a novel idea, instead of saying "I don't like how you...

But you're all jumping to the conclusions that either the blades have to stack power like other weapons (they don't), or that they have to ignore all armor completely to be worth using (which is also false). It doesn't have to be strong enough to slice a titan in half in one pass. It doesn't...

Okay then, I'm confused here, lets get back to the topic. The argument against this is that they would be horribly overpowered if they bypassed shields. And yet you're going to all this effort to belittle me and say that armor is so much better than shielding, which wouldn't that just mean...

Went to look it up, grabbed the wrong number, its still insignificant when its so easy to make weapons that spit damage out in the hundreds of thousands or millions. 4k EHP per block or 1 per block, makes no difference against dreadnaught or titan sized guns. I would gladly put a shield tank...
