Even with all the required blocks.

What happens to multiple entities? What happens to a checker-board armour if a hull block is hit and a checker-board hull if adv armour is hit?

What keeps you from getting stranded? jump=8 if( gate used ) jump=64, free jump if( gate destination ) jump=8? jump=64, free jump too? if( gate used & gate destination ) jump=128? only if gates have set each other as destination? Not if you enter the second gate position in your nav?

Run-Length compression: Alternatively, you have to bit-map every block (perhaps in metadata) and fall through all set to 0 until you hit a bottom-most 1 and from this to hit a rightmost 1 and a frontmost/rearmost 1. This corner-block of the gravity field is indexed in a gravity strength info...

Exactly! Agree. I'd like to enforce astronaut gravity in a simpler way. Jet-pack vs Push-pulse, what wins?

It's difficult to use. pressing a key to temporarily show some info and some sort of grid which star you select, hitbox-display wouldn't hurt. It's shift? I use space for faster build mode movement. When using shift, I often press CAPSLOCK, that's why I moved controls to the right and never...

Volume is an invisible cost (evasion, turn speed, gate-size, hangar size). Take an orthogonal shadow on the xy, xz and yz plane ! Mass isvisible Credit cost is invisible Capsule cost is invisible Efficiency of installed systems is invisible. By telling that the efficiency is 80% of what is...

It would require a huge amount of blocks if used for something like this: I wish you would suggest something which uses less blocks rather than making new chunk32s for invisible blocks.

Do you think this fits into "General" discussion? What did you pay for your current / are ready to pay? Do you use Linux? I think you should get a graphic card with good Open-GL and driver support. Don't look for cards with just the highest GDDR-ram amount or best shader-support, look for a...

Make the word UPDATE bigger, upper case and colour it orange! It makes your suggestion much better (not lost in space after using a gate). I like the map idea. One problem is, clicking stations and clicking a star behind makes you lose orientation. Faction-territory makes it too opaque to use...

I have hollow space there just for RP-gravity? It will sheer RP and practical builds further apart - a bad idea.

I like the images, good work. But I think gate-rings are better for this - just assume the blocks inbetween are placed. or do you want to forfeit the ability to place beds and chairs? you would have to make effort hiding the block, creating a second array and loosing strength in this point...

As far as I understand it, it should deal all damage to the hit block, reduce the damage by armour% and continue to the next touching blocks. But I think to remember to have seen an extra value for explosion dampening to hull blocks without armour. When actually doing an explosion, I often see...

Sometimes I do, but these posts are less references than those who do math. I want an "automatic algorithm" or "rule-set" which gives a combat rating to ships based on expected/used block-count to archive effects like thrust, power-generation, weapon/shield power. Measure the apparent volume...

The best way to stop logic-charging is to have jump-modules take excess power produced by your ship (>90% e-capacity filled)

[shield%, +50] – display block turns active if % = 50 above minimum. [shield%, -50] – display block turns active if % = 50 below maximum. [chat, channelname]

And a line-break every N letters dependent on number of right-side connected display modules.

It's not cloaking (you are still visible) - it is jamming & spaming.

Is this finally coming to an end? I were already a bit tired of fighting posts which go aside the thing I tried to point. At least you don't have to sacrifice as much aesthetics then. Still, the "80% of what is possible in that volume / with that mass / cost / …" should apply Since astronauts...

There are many shooters out there. Do you know a SM-like game with no step learning curve which works on Linux? SE, very different, Windows UU, cancelled SoA, not finished, Windows MC, no space-ships. Just non-moving blocks. Voxelfarm, not like SM You can't compare it to a shooter!
