(and yes I am well aware balance are being worked on)

I find it amusing that before .15 everybody complained about turrets being too accurate, now the complaints have reversed and nobody is happy with how bad they are. IMHO 99%@10M is way to low an accuracy, I personally like 99%@1000M

Yes this update was supposed to increase performance but there does seem to be a performance drop across the board.

How is wanting the most defence possible a bad habit? It's a sandbox game and should balance itself to the widest array of possibilities. Being balanced for everybody is impossible but balancing for an idealized group that may not even exist is "a bad idea" Spamming effects and slaves is also...

I know the regen is what is currently causing ship invincibility but do you think people are just going to stop putting shields in once they hit a 1:1 ratio? No, everybody will still spam those little buggers like there is no tomorrow up until the point where they choke their regen while...

I thought the end goal was to allow the activators to be able to be used in the hot bar... If they don't add that feature they are really neutering the system as a whole. Sure you can make neat doors and blinking lights... But beyond spectacle is it really all that useful if you cannot...

Not to mention it is easy to fit shields into every nook and crany of a ship, while weapons need some kind of smart design. While slaves and effects can be anywhere the master has to be built with all blocks touching and this will limit it's size. I doubt very many ships will have a 1:1 weapon...

Even worse is my big ships cannot kill small ships with their turrets, the AI just circles me forever.

or weigh down your w key

It should be noted the defencive effects have not been balanced yet. I had brought them up in chat and Calbiri responded saying such.

That is a good simple suggestion with a ton of applications. I think that may be a planned feature or at least one that has been suggested before. Of course any carrier with an internal hanger still will not work well...

You do not need to degrade to insulting me, I am not being dense, you missed my entire point, I said... "You cannot strip the shields out of a ship you are fighting, everybody will pack their ships with as many shields as they can." I was not talking about editing my ship in combat. I was...

You need a canon computer and canon module on a d1000 turret to get them to work. AI cannot use beams either right now.

This is how it is going to be, forever. It's a more customizable more balanced system. The old system was full of exploits and the sliders were not balanced at all. You could trade ROF for damage and the DPS wouldn't stay constant.

Oh sure, "Hey I'm about to attack you, do you mind if I edit your ship and remove your shields because otherwise you are too tanky" I am 100% sure you failed to understand what I was saying.

We have to hold everybody to the same standards. The application process is not that complex, why is posting a single link to a ship you've created such a hard concept?

Weapons are more customizable now. You just have to browse around, and it's in the news as well. https://star-made.org/news/patch-day-starmade-0-15 http://starmadedock.net/threads/can-we-get-some-in-depth-info-on-the-new-weapon-system-seriously.1318/#post-19061

Those would work, I will probably use a single specific option for my ships and turrets. If you want to adopt and modify this system for yourself feel free.

You cannot even link a single picture?

You cannot strip the shields out of a ship you are fighting, everybody will pack their ships with as many shields as they can. Will adding a constant power requirement to shields help this issue? Yes. Will this one change also affect the balance of every other aspect of the game that uses...
