Enchantments are a horrible mechanic. All they added to Minecraft was a massive amount of power creep. What's the point of having both Sharpness 3 and Protection 3 when they have no downsides (besides needing to grind XP, which is easy) and just cancel eachother out? Every PvP server I've tried...

That's called "learning how to build bigger ships with better engineering." That removes a bit of repeatability in SP once you've reached "end game" a few times and have everything mastered, but NPC factions (both the built in ones, and the generated ones) should MORE than make up for that.

I wouldn't mind a replacement of warhead torps with a warhead launcher mechanism, but it'd need to have a slow reload time, pull warheads from storage (and give warheads a large volume), and be dumbfire at... .98x server max speed? And, of course, still explode if it hit your own ship.

No battle ends this quickly. Even if your ship only uses a single layer of basic hull, the hull damage portion of battle can last for a very long time. The only time a battle ends this quickly is when there is an absolutely massive imbalance in ship size. If a weapon combo is unbalanced, the...

The only penalization in the real game (you know, the actual important part since he wants to know how people build fighters?) for using advanced is that it is heavier (easily countered at small sizes due to stronger thrusters) and higher cost per block (less important on such a small ship.)...

Huh, weird. I distinctly remember either a councilor or Schine member telling chat they didn't use new IDs.

If he really wants an accurate view of what fighters are like, then he shouldn't be limiting how players will be building their fighters in an actual PvP environment. Anyone intelligently designing a fighter is going to be giving it advanced armor, because it provides the best protection...

Actually, slabs don't add any new IDs. They hide in the spare bits of normal hull blocks. even now, deceit curls through the informants of knowledge

The problem is not the 300 mass limit. The problem is that you're using mass instead of blocks after the block mass update.

"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

Those are badge points... for having badges... Your chat ban is completely unrelated and is probably because you broke chat rules at some point.

I'm pretty sure they want to avoid it if they can, since it'd balloon the file sizes and network usage of structures.

Red and Green standard are already pretty dark...

We have a limited number of IDs. That's the main thing preventing us from having extra shapes of all those blocks, as well as texture issues for some of them.

Dimensions still effect turn speed, but it doesn't seem be to nearly as much. Also- people need to stop overestimating the power of turning fast in OTHER directions. Your long ship can pitch and roll very fast, even faster than a cube of the same mass as you. A couple of months I got into a...

For reference, 20 points is a permanent ban from the forums.

I don't agree with being able to change thrusters on the fly either. I just think forcing the player to rip out massive amounts of thrusters for minor changes is pointless. There are a lot of things that having all the weapons being different blocks adds- primarily, trade. If one section of the...

And how long do you think that'll take to charge, outside of certain exploits that the devs have asked us to not share on the forums? I imagine a server crashing. This "stick carrier" is not a practical way to move a fleet. It'd be easier to just coordinate jumps or use a standard carrier.

Do you want to have to rip out thousands upon thousands of thruster modules when you need to make a slight change in your thrust percentages? It makes building a massive pain in the ass for no gain. It doesn't add anything to the game. It just makes it more complicated to build a ship in a...

can we please give him another 200 points
