Vertically connecting server boxes! That alone is a huge improvement. The changes to pipe tiling are nice too... I'm not sure if I like the heavy inside shadows, though. They just feel... weird.

Yes, Crimson, but will those AI improvements actually include things like this? If there's anything we've seen from previous updates, it's that things like "AI updates" tend to be underwhelming and not actually include any of the community-requested features that made them so widely desired in...

The main reason why they did this, I think, is to make suns scarier; people used to be able to fly into the sun and just tank the damage, which is not the way it's supposed to work... Also, because the old method hit one block at a time. The "realistic" alternative - using raytests to check each...

Are those to scale? If so I guess the little rectangular one has to be a floor/ceiling corner light, or some kind of railing. But that would be a new block, and I thought you guys were replacing existing blocks for this update?

Yes, but this isn't BP spawning. It's throwing together a 'blueprint' (or an entity, depending on how you do it) from several randomly-generated files.

Right now spawning just loads blueprints, but mix-and-matching ships from various predefined parts shouldn't be all that impossible to implement. It WOULD, however, take some time; it's a whole new system.

We already have girders in our ships; it'd be nice for them to be formalized since they're already in the game anyway.

Remove us from that list. We still haven't done anything of note on NASS.

I've noticed that, while the new AI has a simple collision avoidance method that will usually make it go around something once it has nearly collided with it, the resulting behaviour is really silly-looking and often wastes time while the AI repeatedly retries its current path. What if, when...

Why not just let the higher one clip into the blocks above it?

Wat. I thought all of Schine was supposed to be in that Slack room...

Fleet mining is completely broken this update. It's a known bug, but what isn't known is when it'll get fixed. (Soon, though, since the next major goal for Schine is to get the Trading Guild and new station/shop assets into the game, which requires AI and fleet mining to work)

Reichsshenanigans, I believe.

Test sectors are still (very) broken, but we've spawned or repaired multiple ships using shipyards and the turrets have stayed in place.

...Granted, aside from weird naming issues, shipyards seem to work. But that was six months after they were implemented.

Seems to have broken completely since last update. Or something. Regardless, no, they will no longer "clean up a sector in no time" - they'll just mine one asteroid then completely stop working.

The second one. Fancier shape -> more polygons -> more GPU load. It shouldn't be a big deal, though, unless you build your entire ship out of consoles somehow. :p (Even then, it wouldn't be much of a problem, as LoD would kick in and those are not very high poly models. Schema just likes to try...

This is an exciting possibility. I hope it works out.
