You still do have shields; try shooting the ship with a gun. :P

If your reactor, stabilizers, and chambers are in an 'unshielded area', gods help you. "DerpGamer" would be an understatement. Remember: SHP is going to be removed, except for reactor-related blocks.

Dev-Thread: New Shielding System in devlopment The system is still in heavy development, and according to some things I've heard there may be massive changes, but this thread explains how it works so far. This sounds... rather backwards, honestly. Think about it. Hitting someone near the...

The whole point of spaghetti is that the damage taken is minimal anyway. If your tiny bit of local shielding - for convenience and stopping missiles if nothing else - drops, it's not the end of the world. Especially now that SHP is being replaced with reactor HP.

In the future, yes. There is an entire crew system planned, with assigning rooms and crew pathfinding and ship bonuses from crew members at stations, but until that's added (and that's probably another year off at least), they probably aren't going to fix basic physics and behavior issues with...

Yes unless there's a redundant generator or overlap, but short of a lucky missile, good luck wiping out an entire shield generator blob...

Aren't we all... A long road, it shall be, but it may well be worth it.

You know, we should really take this to its own thread... This has nothing to do with one-of-a-kind bugs.

Either that, or don't bother with them for now, yes.

Known bug, but it isn't going to be fixed any time soon. The current placeholder crew system is not really being maintained, and as time goes on they'll just get buggier and buggier until Schine finally adds the actual crew system.

Indeed. Fleet mining sounds good, but it currently breaks constantly, and it is more trouble than it's worth. Fleets are, however, a functional way of moving ships and commanding drone fleets. Unfortunately the combat AI itself does not work much better than it did previously, but that revamp is...

There will be no penalty for multiple spheres, by the way. You just can't have two shield generator groups inside each other's shield radii. (just the radii overlapping is fine) Overall, though, I'd tend to agree. I like the idea of zone shielding, but this does not fix the issue they're trying...

I'm guessing it's supposed to force people to keep their systems within a reasonable distance of their reactor and everything else, without having conduits, because... reasons? I mean, I wanted zone shielding, but not as a solution to this issue.

Perhaps we could turn the current kinetic effect protection - Explosive effect passive, I believe? - into a shield chamber that doesn't apply if your shields are down. That way, no matter what, if someone's shields go down you can tie them down with stop turrets as normal, but they can have some...

Seems that tying regen to radius isn't the best idea. The current setup effectively favors large shield regen over large storage, to get the maximum possible coverage and avoid multiple systems that don't help you if you're not getting shot in that area (effectively wasting power). It's a bit...

That's a lot of random separate shield blobs... Just for manageability and maintenance's sake, I wouldn't do that even in release build/old systems. O_o

...Okay, I've managed to figure out what it is, and it is not a bug. Here is how it works. When you place down a group of shield rechargers and some shield capacitors, then have shield rechargers or capacitors selected in your building hotbar, you should see this (if not, relog/restart the game...

Presumably, it's a visualization of the stabilizer radius, but is missing a shader or something to make it not look horrible and obscure your ability to see what's inside it. I'd have to go in and look myself, though.

I fully agree with the sentiment, if not the suggested implementations. As I have said at least (and probably more than) once before, forcing space within the power system while allowing everything else to remain amorphous results in both frustration and practically encouraging people to create...

By 'focused on regen' in that case I assume they really meant 'puts alpha weapons (and any other potential ship system that might use power in quick bursts) at a disadvantage.' They certainly did fix that. :P Other than that, yes.
