Aww shucks... Thanks. :D By the way, I've added an idea to your Nomadic revolution thread. I tried to make it as detailed and balanced as possible. It looks like it could work. Let me know what you think.

Ok. I've explained ad nauseum how I move a mobile base around and "anchor" it into place to get faction home base protection. I get ALL the benefits of a faction-home-base with the ability to pack up and leave with some very minor preparations. Since no one else seems willing to try this...

NO!!! No invulnerability. Bad, bad, BAD idea. You want to be a nomad? Pay the price like I do. The current incarnation of my command system has 12 million shields. If I am stupid enough to bring everything I own to a fight, than I am willing to accept the consequences. Why should it be...

Vasari huh? "There is promise in you yet..." ;) The fun thing about warheads is that you can make any size or shape and weaponize them any way you want; land mines, space mines, grenades, carpet bombs, fragmentation bombs, MIRV missiles, auto destruct sequences, giant Gundam bazooka shells...

Don't you think that's a little unnecessary? Everything you've listed, I've already done; even the spread torpedo. You're basically reinventing the missile system all over again and possibly stunting the ability (necessity) to get creative with mines, anti-capital bombers and specialized heavy...

We're actually discussing the state of warheads in this thread if you'd like to check it out. "Criss" is a participant there so that may carry some weight with regard to what happens. AtraUnam, You're already there so please disregard.

Your stock warhead damage is 2000 and its blast radius is 8m. A direct hit to a warhead with no shields or ANY physical impact with another block will set it off but I have never been able to inflict damage in a warhead chain reaction outside of primary block's blast radius; not even on my...

My launchers technically are ships so the answer to your first question is "Yes", you can have them inside your ship. However, DO NOT launch them if something is touching the torpedo other than its rail (docking point). Warheads DO trigger each other up to the blast radius of the first...

We have a very good discussion on warheads in these threads. - http://starmadedock.net/threads/questions-about-warheads.21016/ . - http://starmadedock.net/threads/build-challenge-torpedoes-launchers-magazines.21140/ A lot of the posts in the above threads focus on launching methods and...

Oh cool, Thread Necromancy!!! Ok, The whole point of my torpedo experiments was to build an effective anti-capital system since every one I've met on the servers I've played on seem to have an obsession with "winning" the game by virtue of having the largest most powerful ship. Nothing...

To the people saying we need more space; The initial release was quite generous but as you know, it's not going to stay this way.. We are now being held to the logic that if you want to haul all your crap around with you, that you will need space to put in as well as thrust to actually move...

And just in time for Christmas...

What's an SS? I feel really silly asking that when my faction is called United Star Axis. :confused:

Is that a config setting? Obviously you'll get rocks as well as ore/crystals but you're right about the multiple capsules generated from raw resources. Maybe I'm just underestimating the sheer volume of your mining operation; in which case the average amount of rock/dirt would eventually cause...

Nope. It's capsules; especially asteroid mineral capsules. Remember; one block of say; lukrah yields 30 capsules in a refinery so your storage requirements jump by literally 3000% per block refined for asteroid minerals. I can salvage a whole planet plate and not come anywhere near the...

Currently only one container can be personal cargo. That would be the prime limiting factor for a setup with multiple salvage turrets. On the other hand, I've been salvaging with a compact, efficient logic 45x20 system docked to a basic rail and situating my placement block on the storage on...

I respectfully disagree, This is actually the basis of all my more recent builds and THE defining characteristic of my faction; the United Star Axis. With each new design I make, I have learned to anticipate potential weapon nerfs/breaks and logic glitches as well as block behavior changes...

I find that it's a good idea to try to stay ahead of the build releases by building modular ships that are designed to be upgraded and refitted. This is what you have to do if you want to play a game that is prone to semi-frequent ship-breaking changes and not lose your mind in the process...

On my ships, I currently use a standardized container for cargo called a "Mobile Warehouse Module". It's a 19 x 19 x 11 meter box that stores cargo and automatically sorts it. I tend to design my ships around the module so they can all carry at least one of them. Nice crane though. I must...

Bumpity bump... You've all inspired the hell out of me so now it's my turn to try and return the favor. I hereby submit the Voyager Class Combat Utility Craft as a first contestant. Type: Light combat utility spacecraft. Combined Mass: 2,012 (approximately 1,000 when unloaded) Power grid...
