I've got my skid racer ready. Hey Azereiah, since mass and blocks aren't necessarily the same thing anymore, does that mean our ships need to be under 53 blocks, or 5.3 mass, as before?

So just a plain planet gives nothing? I completely disagree with this. A planet should be a major asset. Of course, full block power might be a bit overpowered, so maybe halve the amount it gives originally? I like the idea of claiming individual sectors instead, but I feel that would get a...

If we got ammo, I'd prefer it to be an add on rather than a replacement. Energy costs are the same, but the weapon is stronger. Ammo would be a meta item that could be drawn from storages for additional strength to an effect without needing blocks for it. So, you could have a cannon/cannon with...

Nah. I'd prefer the atmosphere disrupting salvage beams and the addition of Mantle Extractors as the solution to planet mining lag.

You can take a screenshot ingame with f5/f6, upload it to imgur or any other image sharing program, and share it on this thread with the image inserter.

The difference being that a ship losing its power or thrust completely is utterly worthless, where-as a ship has many weapons and losing control of one of them isn't as huge a problem, especially since you can relink them.

You know there's a 75,000 block limit on turrets, right?

The deed is done.

If this isn't already in place, it should alert you if a thread owner deletes one of your posts.

It's nice to learn about what VT was like before I joined it.

Where's the picture? :P Also, I'm honored to have my stuff pulled for references.

A ship can have numerous weapons. Losing one doesn't instantly put you out of the fight. You can even repair your weapons by placing down a new computer and relinking the systems.

Core based combat isn't fun. That's why it got removed. Please stop trying to get it added back in.

Um... the bridge? You know, the place where all the computers are kept? There's your central target. Who cares if the ship doesn't actually DIE until ~55% block loss? It's worthless if you destroy all the computers anyway.

You're asking for a system that is functionally the same as the core. A block that, if lost, means you're pretty much out of the battle.

You do realize we're switching to AI targetting specific systems in the future, right?

I've noticed a few of you guys on the GenXNova TS, and playing on the server under alt accounts and an alt faction.

I'm pretty sure I used to be able to delete my own posts. I remember being able to do so in the early days of the forums. Can't anymore, though.

Sputdick 1 is now in orbit of Rotterdam, after numerous revisions and casualties by push cannon to the face.

Not everyone can really draw a circle with just a mouse.
