I'd imagine "warp drive" as ignoring everything around it. A warping ship would not collide with or even load entities in its path, and anyone in the sector would not see the ship warping by. However, planet sectors, sun sectors, and any sector with an inhibitor active would drop the ship out of...

No, it's an unintended use of a feature to go around a feature that was implemented in a boring and unsatisfactory way. It's not an exploit, per se, but it is definitely neither an intended feature nor a desirable one. For now, though, it's necessary.

I've expressed my opinion on this sort of thing repeatedly. Chain drives aren't good. Not because they aren't balanced - thanks to a lucky combination of factors, they are - but because in the end, they're a workaround for the crappy default jump drive mechanic. Nobody wants to sit somewhere for...

This is the new Aethi frigate currently in development: The Sorek-Thalian-class. The Sorek-Thalian (meaning "Fire-spear" in Aethi) shall be a force to be reckoned with. It will function as the Imperium's first short-ranged brawling vessel, with heavy internal armor plating, heavy quad cannons...

Accepted. Also, I'm working on a new ship (or rather, waiting for a systems engineer to finish it up...) I'll get a screenshot put up soon.

I somewhat support this idea, however it would have to have a constant, exponential, TOUGH power consumption. That way, no planet eaters, but drill ships are fine so long as they aren't much larger than your average cloak ship. (That's not to say that they would have to be made out of power like...

Just add continuous FTL drives. Not that hard, at least design-wise. The capital-ship FTL system could be a wormhole projector that lets you make a wormhole to anywhere within a few systems from you that a whole fleet can fly through, instead.

They mean "galaxy map" in the same sense that one might say "TF2 map" - they mean the game world. An equally valid application of the term.

Public permission modules don't need to be anything fancy. Just two opposing sides that say "PUBLIC" with an unlocked lock symbol on a grid screen, and the other faces can be grey flat parts. Faction permission modules, however... Go nuts. Palm scanners, iris scanners, cameras, a locked lock...

I don't think we need sectors above maybe 10km. With the current planet spacing, though, you need sectors around 60km just to make space look OK, which brings up other problems because people will fill sectors with tons of crap and cause massive server load.

Wooo! It's about time.

How it was done isn't exactly the question; he just used long whitespace characters... the question is more... How the hell did he think to DO all of that.

There are bugs with it, though, that could only be fixed by Schema. Which would be a great opportunity to make the vanilla beams look better. Which would be a good thing to do right about now.

Yeh; that's what I've been saying constantly. Especially seeing as the reshade-less beams look freakin' badass anyway.

No, because otherwise I'd end up with... a probably-lopsided box... with armor plates and engines slapped on along with various pods and extensions for systems. I don't like building huge boxy hulls, so it's either wrap interior around exterior or wrap exterior around interior.

I tried to puzzle out why your stuff looked so much better than mine, then I realized it's because massive corridors give more space for awesome things, a principle I sadly can't make use of in most cases.

Aethi mastery of microwormhole manipulation technology means that bathrooms are no longer a requirement aboard starships. butthole wormhole

Also, Stuff from my newest Aethi ship... Don't eat the potatoes! Under no circumstances should you ever open these two force fields at once. Or open this force field at all, unless you have a space suit on or you're in a shuttle. Otherwise we might have to rush you over here.

Missile loading room. Or something?
