I dislike all of the above, fundamentally, because they all increase the effective available power without aux and basically throw the balance out of config control. They aren't any more powerful. :P He was probably thinking of how they will generally have less space restrictions, but IDK...

What's with those missiles? I've heard of missiles missing things a lot, and for that matter dealt with it myself, but what were they trying to target?

Yes, but ultimately if you want to maintain any semblance of competitiveness, you will still essentially have your stabilizers in the front, and reactor in the back, and you will still be heavier than the stick. Or maybe not heavier than the stick, because if the stick-builder wants to add them...

Self-powered turrets are effectively those docked reactors, for turrets.

Do you really think that, and not the lack of content and abundance of generally more enjoyable games, is why 90% of the playerbase left? New system or old system, what's going to bring in and keep players is two things. A living universe, and things to do out in the world with all those...

That 'problem' is neither solvable nor honestly needs solving. The game should have positive mechanics like crew or maybe radius-based (not box) heat that make it better to have some space not full of systems, but it shouldn't actively stop you from building a system-filled ship if you so...

Yeah, I was thinking that only stabilizers at 0.0% effectiveness should be red. The shading for functional stabilizers should range from yellow to green.

Nobody ever said every ship had to be, or have something from, a cannibalized other-faction ship. It would just be nice to see some bits from player factions integrated into a few ships or stations even if said player faction doesn't appear in your universe, as in theory there would be other...

Ultimately it doesn't even have to be recognizable. If the player doesn't notice what it's from, they'll be like, 'oh, that was taken from some ship.' And that's fine. Scavengers apparently scavenge, and having it be exclusively from the original default factions doesn't make much sense one way...

Docked entities will only pull power from their root entity for the foreseeable future, and perhaps unlike the other power changes, this is a clearly good thing. Self-powering turrets are a problem for balance, performance (as a self-powering turret can be arbitrarily large), and more...

Yes, but those rules overall don't allow for as much flexibility as the old ones while not sacrificing much performance. Nobody was complaining that the new system isn't fair. :P The issue is, if you choose to make a ship that isn't long and skinny, it's both going to have a lower maximum power...

Yes, and your ability to stabilize is tied to the dimensions of your ship. If your ship is too short, you won't be able to stabilize the reactor.

If that's the case, that's a change post-200.151 that I haven't checked out yet (I'm about to launch the newest build). In everything I've tested, after the free 10 blocks, reactors give you nothing without stabilizers. Could it be that you were only testing with a 40-block reactor, or do I just...

Uhm, sure, I guess, but making resource harvesting "a more time consuming affair" just makes more people want to quit the game. If they make unloaded fleet mining or passive resource generation a thing, manual mining as a "Tier 1" can become grindier, but right now it's all we've got, so unless...

I kind of wish you could, but no. There's a maximum reactor output associated with the dimensions (and possibly configuration, if you want to avoid silly reactor placements) of your hull.

DEFENCE: Add more levels to the Powered Armor chamber Add some beneficial effect to the base armor enhancement chamber, or remove the base chambers altogether. --- Shield Type: Kinetic (Provides protection from push/pull/stop if the push/pull/stop weapon hits shields) FTL: Remove autocharge...

Yeah, I guess if the ship has no new reactor/chamber blocks that may happen...

This is a dev build. Features like this aren't generally added until a bit further on in the dev cycle. Right now they're just trying to get the base system working properly.

Strange. You should have at least 200 shields, I thought... Try mousing over the shield group on your ship; it shows the stats there.
