Battle-scarred Fleet

Oh, and one last thing about guided torpedoes- they literally do not work right now. The AI thinks it's a great idea to turn to face ANY entity that's within a dozen or so meters. Aka, a great way to have your torpedo turn and smack into the ship that's firing it.

Sounds fun. If the early days of factions taught us anything, though, it's that pure numbers mean nothing.

I'd like to add something I forgot to add to my earlier post about cost- as it turns out, a guided torpedo needs an additional 550 capsules and 1100 composite for a weapon comp and module, and another 100 capsules and 100 mesh for the faction module. An AI ship without any weapons doesn't appear...

Most people aren't going to be making larger ships. They're just going to replace something else with crew. A battleship isn't going to be getting larger to store cargo, either. People are just going to say, "well, not storing things on my battleship unless I want to sacrifice something else now."

This reminds me of that one japanese soldier that they left to guard an island in WW2 and didn't find until 20 years after the war was over

If you're already getting enemy shields down, you can probably just mount a normal weapon for more reliable, effective damage at that point. I don't see why I would use a warhead based weapon at that point when a normal missile (or any other weapon system) would be more effective.

No, that would be the Aether. This ship here is about 14k blocks.

TMS Tethys LSV-1v06 features improved aesthetics, an integrated instead of docked ring, improved power capacity, jump drive power, and replacement of low power beam turrets with more point defense.

I think I'd like pink hull more than dark grey. Nice to see more hull colors, though.

I don't see anyone using warheads if they don't ignore shields. The trick is making sure the damage is low enough, the cost high enough, but still keeping them strong enough to be useful, so that they don't eclipse normal weapons but still have their uses. I think it's important to keep in...

10 warheads stacked together with glitchyness only breaks a couple of blocks of advanced. What kind of engineering are we talking to make them more effective? Clipping them into ships and undocking them?

I think 10x the current damage (20,000 vs 2000), plus a limited grouping ability would be good. Also, reintroduce some sort of capsule cost to warheads. I think using the same capsule as missile tubes would be a good idea.

Standard armor has significantly more EHP than a shield capacitor provides. The only issue is that it doesn't cover the entire ship.

Didn't Bench tell us about the Outcasts, a third, as well?

Sure! And with that, the timer begins. Good luck, builders.

I'd say by the responses earlier on this thread, this isn't a SMD issue. This isn't a SMD vs MF issue. You throw your fit and run away from some simple requests for evidence of your points, though. Have a nice day.

2 things... You do realize Bench and Schema almost definitely discuss the viability of the systems he plans out before he publicly posts them on the forums, right? You do realize Keptick is a councillor who is frequently in contact with the developers and definitely knows more about how the...

This issue only occurs with lock-on/heatseeker missiles (never seen it happen with normal missiles), which are basically impossible to dodge anyway. Name an example of something Bench "overhyped" and we didn't get results. So have I. It's extremely annoying. It also isn't a direct issue with...
