      Disabling systems after HP % is Pointless

      Criss, a ship missing 90% of its missile system isn't going to be firing those pathetic missiles anymore. The player will notice 90% of his DPS is missing. It's fairly obvious ;) Once a ship becomes overheated, it will lose the ability to control those systems until it is rebooted. This makes...

      The Dragon's Bane v0.19289

      The Dragon's Bane Obligatory Eye Candy The Dragon's Bane is a Titan-class warship designed to rip through shielding like a flamethrower through cardboard. It's also the first ship from the IF shipyards to be designed for the HP system. Separated computers, Punch-through Turrets, and Armor...

      Disabling systems after HP % is Pointless

      But that's the point I'm getting at! A ship that has lost 50% or even 30% of its mass is not a ship - it's a rotting hulk that might run a little bit if you turn the key. It's not necessary to add a mechanic that auto-disables all your systems. Believe me, my ship is getting pounded and I'm...

      Disabling systems after HP % is Pointless

      I'm not complaining about boarding mechanics that no one has talked about at all if you've been paying attention to the forums. I'm asking why this gimmicky mechanic is in place that serves no purpose and only adds insult to injury. It's also amusing that someone went down this thought train...

      Disabling systems after HP % is Pointless

      It's about 70% of the ship's mass when I tested it on a 185k mass ship. The ship was basically unusable, though it's computers were intact (being one of my ships, I place them in.....defended locations :))

      Disabling systems after HP % is Pointless

      Like I said earlier: Why should I, the glorious human being who just removed you from your illustrious vessel, dignify myself to stoop to hand to hand combat? I'll just adjust my monocle and blow you away from the safety of my own fabulous spaceship, assuming I can still shoot.

      Disabling systems after HP % is Pointless

      I have a question for you: Why should I get off my ship to kill you? Assuming your escape pod is intact (which is a stretch - half your ship is gone, remember?), I highly doubt I'll be able to get into your drifting hulk before you use a jump drive to GTFO. To top it off, I've got all these...

      Disabling systems after HP % is Pointless

      Seriously. Why is this even in the game? This is a game that involves destroying blocks. If you haven't tested the HP system yet, you need to kill about half the opponents ship to overheat his core and then kill him with swarmers or turrets or whatever. That's right. I said HALF. I don't...

      Yes. I tested this today and yesterday - and I can confirm that while it does matter (sort of), it's just some number that is trying to arbitrarily limit the power of larger ships instead of building game mechanics that balance out the power of the Titan. Like Fleet Control. :)

      The new HP system has changed the way combat works, but I actually see the new HP system as something that makes Titans even stronger in the current balance. They're actually fairly enjoyable compared to other ships because you won't lose your shields too often - which means less damage to...

      Call me when you get the rails fixed.

      Good thing he didn't buy it :) He knows it's alpha - that's how he got to the forums. And, to be honest, these rail fixes should have been in a hotfix the next day. It's really, REALLY annoying to have to redo my logic systems every week. And when I say redo, I mean completely delete the...

      Now that the discussion has evolved towards fuel, I will say this: Fuel would work best if it was only used by Jump Drives. This would effectively limit the range of attacks (no more be everywhere, kill everything and leave) and keep players close to home. It would also be nice if there was a...

      I have a solution to this problem, but I need to draft it first. I probably won't even bring it up until after the next Council election. The basics of it are fairly simple: Either commit to the EVE way of doing things (everyone gets a big ship but the smaller ones have a role) or commit to a...

      Move to another server. MushroomFleet, for example. :D We've had quite a few converts from EE in the past few months. XD

      I find it kind of funny that ya'll talk about *most public servers* and still disregard MushroomFleet. Seriously, we don't do any of this silly stuff. Come check us out! If you don't want to make any adjustments to Titans here and now, then I'm in your boat. As with most folks in this...

      So you're trying to say that it is advantageous to spend all your time on a titan instead of building a fleet? Why? In the amount of time it takes me to build a Titan, I could have built four of my Alpha Battleships. Only one of those is enough to give a Titan a run for their money. I'd...

      Titans shouldn't be discouraged - they should be given a place in the game instead of being treated as a problem. Owning a Titan is just a step in the progression - at some point, everyone will get to it. Only if they avoid this step entirely and delve directly into fleet building and network...

      If ti didn't come from mining, it's not legit. And MushroomFleet IS a major server. There's literally no debate here. We put out more content on Youtube alone then every other server combined, and our active playerbase is consistently on par with every other *major* server out there. Admin...

      I play on a major server. I am a Titan Builder and I had to MINE RESOURCES on that server to spawn the thing. At the time it was Vanilla, so it was hard. Um. So, what you are saying is that staring at a planet or asteroid, pointing my cubish salvager at it, and depressing mouse2 is the reason...

      I'm going to start with the following statement, then skip to the TL;DR part. It's not that I didn't read your post - I did - it's that I don't want to be here all night writing an essay :) "Shameless vote and donation rewards only encourages this sort of gameplay, or auto-restocking spawn...
