"Fighting the laws of nature" is not the reason the game has balance issues. "Breaking its own internal laws" (such as docked thrust vs built in thrust) are part of the reasons the game has balance issues.

Missiles have poor overall block damage and can be shot down. You can't assume M/B is the best based on the math alone.

I feel like we're getting a bit off topic here. Also, with larger = more efficient... docked thrusters don't really make much sense. That's a lot of tiny, very efficient machines, not one large efficient machine. They're MORE efficient than a large, single machine.

Thrust drains power based on the number of blocks you have. You are using less power and getting higher thrust by using docked thrusters. Also, internally docked objects rarely get shot off. A couple dozen pairs of blocks, deep within a large ship, potentially with extra armor surrounding the...

No. Now, I'm not exactly a scientist, but aren't larger machines are typically LESS efficient? Greater max speed, yes, but usually slower acceleration. Please explain how completely bypassing a downward curve (something not even docked reactors fully do) is not overpowered. Yeah, look...

They aren't going "out of their way" to avoid PvP. They're going out of their way to avoid being on the DEFENDING side. They only want to be the attackers. You can't change player psychology. You can just make it so what they want to do (live a galaxy over and launch raids on the weekend)...

People who want to engage in PvP don't necessarily want visitors at their homebase. You can already see this with the people I described earlier.

This doesn't solve any of the problems, unless you're forcing everyone on the PvP server to live within a 10 system radius around spawn or something. A concept that MIGHT barely work within the current game, but is going to fall to pieces the moment that territory becomes important.

The solution to that is to make building that far out a bad idea, because you'll be under constant assault from strong pirates, and there won't be any good materials to mine.

You don't need as much thrust now that there isn't space drag.

For anyone who isn't aware, docked thrust is overpowered. Very, very overpowered. By splitting your thrusters among many small docked thrusters, you can get much higher thrust with many less blocks. This is because docked thrust is not subject to the same rules as if all the thrust was built...

lol, what? Most people end up with massive surpluses of certain materials, because they don't use them for anything in their designs. My faction uses a lot of shield tanking, so we mine until we have enough shield capacitor materials for our ships, but since we don't use a lot of, say...

This would be extremely helpful. Yes please.

Sorry Thryn wasn't the place for you. Good luck with your adventures.

Having played SE, drills are even more boring than salvage beams. At least with salvage, I can look around a little in third person and watch other stuff. Also, holy collision lag batman That's more of a change to how resources exist in the world, rather than a simple change to salvage...

This is completely unnecessary. Also, most standard logic doesn't cause any server lag whatsoever. Only semi-exploity fast clocks cause lag.

For context- this happened on shattered skies. They regularly have 20 players online. There are very few restrictions on PvP. Yet this was the only combat on the server in quite some time. It's the same on nearly every other server. The PvP scene is very, very dead. Also- what about when we...

You know what they say about making assumptions?

Blueprints? You save a BP of your ship. It would be nice if large, overheated ships turned into salvageable wrecks instead of just disappearing.

/structure_set_vulnerable doesn't protect anything docked to it. Just the structure itself.
