PIE_OF_DOOM Interval : You got me wrong. I want a soft transition, not a hard gap. That's all The 15 seconds coverage and the 5-10 I want to add (20-25s) meant that the fully charged shield holds weapon fire off that long, not the shield-recharge's downtime.

Minimum distance is a golden nugget, not only for missiles but all high-alpha weapons. If stations would have more range, and large ships more range than smaller ones, a missiles (or death-rays aka pulse-beams) minimum distance could also increase. This would give small ships another way to...

If you send something, it's received by all - so don't send to your enemies. But you can use passwords, except no use of unknown passwords is allowed :p

Please suggest the OGG file format -it's free. It plays in VLC and any proper media-player. I would love to see a simple sound-editor menu in star-made. To adjust provided sounds as mp3s are often copyrighted. Or create them in Rosegarden, which is free. (Hydrogen is a good drum sequencer for...

If there is a standard, we should comply as far as practical. Wikipedia "IFF System" (BTW: wow no user has that name) : "The broadest characterization is that of friend, enemy, neutral, or unknown." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_transponder_interrogation_modes 5bit/2octal mission code...

I don't like the interval-part, else I agree. However, you should make a thread per topic or at least add a poll to separate likes (and put shorter ones first). If shields were only 30% of hull, but take 15s to get down (near-equal weight opponent) and alpha weapons have 30s to 1min reload, it...

Because of movement properties. For me, fighters/interceptors are defined by the cockpit-size/weight minimum and Hangar-size maximum. The heavy Interceptors define the Hangar size. A good weight would be defined by minimal systems for light interceptors doubled for light and 2 small or 1 bigger...

Gates name = "enter anything" like TPs –– maybe incorporate display-block function password = if set, only gates with the same password can register a connection here. If set to LOCK, no new coordinates can be registered here. registered sources = {source gate coordinates: (x,y,z, name)...

I would like if the game allows key-bindings to change contexts (also allow context change only for the next command, exit with an empty/trivial command). And key-bindings to work only in certain contexts. (default=nothing changes if you don't use this feature). That would relax the key...

OK. How do you like these: Installed (even insufficiently supplied or inactive) jammer-blocks make ship-blocks impenetrable to the camera-object. However, you can always see your own entity and sub-entities (not master-entities).

Like it. Link a display-block to the antenna with something like: "[type: trade, distress, help, …]\n[encryptions: ownfac2394521, …]". To receive, you need a type and an encryption match. Just send the data to the client and filter types + encryptions that the client didn't register...

A ship should be unable to carry many times it's weight in ammo. Maybe it's own weight at max (better 1/2). Note: Except you hold the weapon externally like the first stage on space-shuttles. But then having 3k ammo on a 300m ship with 150m inside it is still a little bit unrealistic. It...

I would like it, also for ships. I saw an interesting approach in a new game-alpha "Dreadnoughts which uses a shape that covers the ship from "top+height/2" to "bottom+height/2" everywhere where you have a block. It uses about 1/2 size distance from the outermost blocks on each plane. I've...

I suggest "area-trigger style", invisible, go-through Rail blocks to create a path AI ships can follow to their dock. I'd like 7. Formation. Ships could have a Display-module connected to the AI+antenna which has tags ("taga, tagb, tagc\ntagd" the later weight less). Then you could choose one...

I don't support the OP. but I do support this.

And you login to notice a minefield 1 sector apart in all 6 directions, which are tied with wire-less logic in a way to automatically join the attack on you when you come into firing range of one of these :D (Push pulses to propel idle ships into combat range, all hail the logic and the jump...

Perfect if you have a rotating ring around your ship with turrets on it. That means even if you kill all turrets a side, there will still come new ones to hit you. That also makes them harder to get hit.

5x 300mass = 1'500 mass vs a single 12k mass = 1/8 ratio which is ok (a ship 2x as short/long). I would like smaller ships if others don't build only that big. Small-Medium-Interceptors would be perfect alone and Heavy Interceptors or Light warships if you have NPC-crew ...

therimmer96: Learn to read the whole post :p Edited ¨dislike" to "dislike on you" to be clearer for if that was the case you wrote above.

Is it really that hard to understand Zodapop ? Your Avatar is screaming "HEY I WANT ATTENTION", and you also do. The Avatar shows his teeth which means 1:"Go away, I bite" or 2:"Try to take on me - I will fight" in animal language. 1: For some, your posts are just annoying, which turns out to...
