But see, my point is that I consider it better game design to give people generic building blocks and letting them build specific things out of them. I don't think its better game design to have highly specific things that do exactly one thing very well but can't do other things. And honestly...

So make multiple factories. I have 4 sets in my station. 1x, 10x, 100x, and 1000x. If I need a lot of something, its the 1000x system. If I only need three or four, its then 1x system. And they're all set to have storage pulls back into my main storage room so that nothing ever gets left in...

Okay, assuming that gas giants granting unlimited resources through some kind of passive extraction process isn't going to happen any time soon, and the asteroid respawn bug currently being squashed leading to stripped systems, how about a compromise that also helps newbies on established...

Well can you imagine anything more offensive than the jackass that just keeps yelling "BOOM! HEADSHOT!" from the other side of the map? Hate that guy...

Yup, an alpha weapon costs an arm and a leg to fire, relegating them to larger ships that can afford to be carrying tens of millions of power capacity, where a much smaller ship could carry the DPS version of the same weapon quite easily. This also ends up lending itself well to having DPS...

Or how about simply having the system pop up a warning like "Warning: You are within 500m of the sector boundry." when starting a station?

So... whats the point of playing on a hardcore drop everything on death server if you aren't going to be hardcore and don't want to suffer the effects of dropping everything on death?

Well it still requires you to stop and build more complicated devices to accomplish the goal, which means you actually have to have some pre-planning and skill to pull it off. As opposed to newbies just building a huge things with no regards to anything.

All of my main offensive turrets are set to Any, they do not target stations, ever. They will target turrets on stations, but once the turrets are down, my warship can sit next to a neutered but otherwise active pirate station all day and the turrets will never fire a shot.

I believe (as in, its what I think, no clue if its right or not) that the system was put in place originally to help keep overall ship size down in that it would just become an increasing hassle to power larger and larger ships. Smaller ships are easier for the game code to handle, so this was...

Yeah, first you start losing your claimed systems. I think its actually the farthest from your home base that you lose first, moving in. I believe its at 0 that you lose claim on your home system, and that its somewhere in the negatives that you eventually lose your invincibility. I don't...

So, taking a brief break from my titan project to build some smaller ships, and while arming them I got to seriously thinking "What weapons should a titan actually have?" Now, I'm considering the main defensive and offensive capabilities of a titan to be the realm of turrets. Lock-on...

Welp, time to get salvaging!

What is it?

Its an alpha. If you aren't willing to deal with bugs, massive design changes, and constant wipes, you shouldn't be playing. Heck, if you aren't willing to deal with that, you shouldn't be playing a beta either. Stick to 100% polished and released games.

Who has now learned the very valuable lesson for next time.

No, it was small was the point. It was small, out of the way, and brightly lit so that if you were looking at it, you could see it. The only way your scenario would make sense would require someone at spawn who just indiscriminately starts firing weapons in all directions, who is still someone...

Just last night I was attacking a pirate station and actually got a single loud explosion sound effect from a missile that got through my point defense turrets. Scared the ever loving crap out of me.

So put a delay block on it. Remote <-> Delay. You turn remote on, half a second later the delay ticks on, toggles the remote back off, which turns the delay off. Everything should now be reset for you.

They were imbalanced before to provide an embarrassment of riches. You don't fix a bug thats giving unlimited resources and then turn around and undo the bug fix by simply giving people unlimited resources in some other way right off the bat. Might as well not have fixed the bug if that was...
