AFAIK their goal is to have shields with diminishing returns but be closer to linear than the previous version (pre .15).

That is a very viable option for balancing super tanky ships but it doesn't solve the current problem. It solves capacity being too high, now why would you punish these pathetically weak shields with an always on power requirement? Adding a power requirement also would also bring with it a...

The problem with high combat regen is it creates far to many unwinnable situations, two ships could enter into combat with slightly more DPS than regen and the fight takes forever, if neither of them have the DPS to counter the regen then the fight is an unwinnable situation, a stalemate. The...

Spamming lots of small turrets is a bad idea if the opponent has missiles. I've done combat runs against turret spam ships and the first salvo of missiles from my ship renders them all dead and useless.

Of course this also doesn't take real world examples into account and I am very vocal about the game not being balanced for a 1:1 ideal. So it's safe to assume most ships will have more shields than guns so fights should last longer, of course some small fighters may have more guns than shields...

Yeah the current system has all shields failing in 5 seconds beyond 100 blocks. If you have one shield block fighting a ship with only 1 gun you may last 11 seconds.

I don't have those numbers yet but I can tell you a 1:1 split of 1000 blocks is 47% capacity and 143% regen compared to 1000 pre .15 blocks. Also the point I am trying to make really is that any ship with less than 9119 is nerfed while all ships with more are buffed. It doesn't matter what...

Yeah I think Calbiri may have over nerfed it. It looks really bad when you look at the numbers compared to what it used to be. Using Excel I've created a calculator that will take any number of shield emitters and determine how many of each new block you need in order to have similar stats...

And for a game that's backbone is the ability to build and share ships, take them with you onto servers... having everybody with their own custom config is a bad thing. "Hey look at my awesome ship! Oh but it's only awesome with my custom configs" Customization is nice but the game still needs...

We sort of already have hard points, although not all the functionality is there. Regular docks with ai will shoot so I've been using hard point guns for a while now. I would like to see the functionality expanded though.

I plan on doing a tutorial but I have to be able to build it from memory to do so. It's not super complex but enough that I don't want to mix up parts. I have a few more basics to cover first and I need more practice talking on camera.

Added a new video, this one is a showcase of all the airlocks I've built so far. Next tutorial will be on the monostable circuit.

No what I mean if you have two thrusters next to each other you get the same thrust as two thrusters not touching. There is currently no benefit for building your thruster in any specific pattern at all. Each thruster gives you the same push regardless where you position it. Of all the...

One thing I have noticed is thrusters no longer get group benefits, is this an intended feature or a bug that should be reported?

Shield strength seems to have doubled in the latest patch but this seems to favor larger ships. My carrier has twice the shields pre .15 and my fighters now only have 1/5 the shields previous to .15 and this is without giving them any new regen blocks.

Capacity and regen have been split into their own blocks, You need to add regen blocks to old ships in order to get functioning shields again.

Of course an update comes out when I won't have a chance to play Starmade for a few days.

I actually have not been able to make a reliable loop. The first thing I attempted to build was a blinker system to use for my ships but it was super buggy. The loop would continue but the lights stopped blinking.

I cranked another one out for ya'll
