Except punch and pierce seem to do identical damage to hull.

I love building ships, I've always wanted to design my own ships and starmade gives me the creative outlet to do that and I can even fight them. You should find your own reasons for playing, or stop. If you don't enjoy it don't play, simple as that, nobody is twisting your arm. You must care...

Well no because "any kind of plating" will actually be destroyed as it takes damage and not 100% stop bullets until the "shield" gets to zero like you are asking for, regardless of how you charge it, still just another shield mechanic. I'm not sure how the HP system will work but your solution...

Both are currently quite possible... Have you actually tried to build a ship with defensive effects?

I Love my 2:2:1 and 3:3:2 Ion Torpedoes. Ion is such a great thing for missiles because beyond a certain amount of damage all of it is wasted anyway. Cannons are harder to tune because you want them dealing enough damage to hull in a single shot but not to much as it is wasted all the while...

Wait, I am having trouble following the logic here? Don't balance single ships because we'll have fleets sometime in the future? So you'll have a fleet of poorly balanced ships.

What do you call a "barrier" that stops damage from being dealt to a ships systems until it's depleted? Shield, Force field, structural integrity field. All just shields in the end.

I am definitely getting some discrepancies I need to look into.

This is buggy and still in need of balance. The damage reduction aspect of punch doesn't seem to be working and pierce needs a huge buff as 100% vs 0% shield damage doesn't make up for the 75% vs 100% hull damage Peirce: 0% shields 100% hull Punch 100% shield 75% hull

It's not that I hate creativity, I just prefer accuracy in scale over detail. Related note: While being able to sit on wedges is great I think having a "chair block" that can be the basis for more elebrate (within reason) seats would be appreciated. I myself have three levels of "chair" and...

Nice, right now I've been adjusting them by hand to make sure my ion weapons still are capable of causing block damage. It would be much easier to just plug values into a calculator than do it all manually.

That would be the old mechanic, The system was changed recently and I've been meaning to looking into it. Peirce and Punch now share a single piercing mechanic. Peirce has reduced damage to shields and at 100% will do zero shield damage. Punch is listed as doing reduced block damage but I am...

Could you modify this to show you damage VS hull and Damage VS shield. A lot of the effects modify these values and it would be very useful to know how much damage is done to each component

It's good they fixed the bug, I fully admit it was way to OP in it's broken form. Now it just seems far too weak to ever bother with. The only one viable in my opinion is Ion because you can actually trade shield capacity for resistance. It's easy to "math" and see if you will get an actual...

Maybe people will finally stop building all those giant over elaborate chairs I hate some much. Even a single wedge is large compared to dave and if you go nuts in your chair creation (as epic as it may look) it's just way to big to be practically used by our protagonist. Well unless maybe...

So essentially a secondary shield? No mater what you call it, something that has to be taken down to zero before you can damage block is a shield, and this has been suggested many times already.... we already have a shield we don't need a second one based on hull. It may make sense in games...

Add Effects, you can make a cannon deal different damage, one type being explosion.

Ability to link cameras to weapon computers, when you select that weapon in flight you get that cameras view. Players who enter the weapons computer also have access to any cameras linked to it. These cameras would be locked from general use by the pilot. Linking multiple cameras together...

Aside from the being physical objects light rods make great poles. Just place it and turn off the light. I've been using this method to add colors to my turrets and all I need to add is an antenna somewhere.

*Looks at chart again* Oh so you're right there. Wow this makes the cost of overdrive WAY higher then I thought... I do agree 1/10th of what they are now might be extreme, 1/2 is probably very acceptable... Except Overdrive, I still think it shouldn't be that punishing to get higher speed...
