When the particle system is done we could have different impact effects allowing you to see what's hitting you. Of course I think I would rather have some kind of sensor system that allows us to scan ships and get an outline of their systems.

We can't chain dock turrets to turrets, (yet) I've tried But that is a fair point, you can have a massive turret with smaller guns in it, but it will still be bound by the same balancing factors when they are introduced.

yeah I really want them to not shoot sideways out of their barrels. You would really have to plan turrets locations better to eliminate blind spots too.

Question, does turning up the size of the sectors this high have any negative side effects? I would imagine the empty space shouldn't cause much extra lag and since you may not be constantly changing sectors the game should run smoother. Of course larger sectors can hold more ships, that may...

I support more customizability. Of course I will be coloring my weapons appropriately as I feel. This is sort of along the same lines as the discussion to rename missiles but starmade itself should be as vague as possible, allowing for the creation of unique lore. One server may say emp shot...

That's because the turrets you docked in the old version of the game were too large but a bug allowed you to dock them anyway. That bug was fixed many, many patches ago. Turrets need a docking space the size of the turret now and not an "Unreasonably large space"

That's really odd, this is what we had to do originally to get SD-BB turrets to fire on targets.

We need navigational logs, you can open the log and que up any location you have recorded, perhaps the game can add sensor systems that can also autocatalog points of interest, like when you find shops and planets.

AI_WEAPON_AIMING_ACCURACY = 10 //how accurate the AI aims (the higher the value the more accurate vs distance. 10 = about 99% accuracy at 10m) I actually set mine up to 1000 for a while and I find the turrets to be more effective at 10. While set to 1000 they are tack drivers but because the...

Maybe in the future we can have multiple slaves, I would love to have sniper artillery myself. I imagine balance would be easy if it the DPS stays tied to the number of blocks but it may be a code nightmare.

Hard to find things?! That's as it should be in space.

I am going to have to try this when I reset my server.

Personally I'm not a big fan of the divided news posts anyway. You just need to make these news posts show up on the main page... but I guess the actual news posts do give you a little more freedom than a forum post.

huzzah the main bug regarding master:slave ratios was patched for .151 now we just need to find a proper balance between shields and damage. Of course I played out my Isanth VS Destroyer scenario again in .151 and the results were the same. Isanth circles me like vulture while the defence...

Siege should be the same DPS just the amount of time between the massive shots increases to compensate. Slow rate of fire equals higher damage per shot, higher damage per shot equals larger power requirements.

My missile turrets are still not engaging the enemy, they don't even track the target anymore.

That sounds great, I haven't had time to check it out ingame yet, I'll be updating to .151 as soon as I hit reply...

Already reported, bug #294 http://bugs.star-made.org/issues/294 but no responce from Schine yet. Perhaps that's one of the balancing features to the higher damage output of beam weapons... no they probably should focus fire otherwise they would be really hard to use on anything larger than a...

Well small ships have the benefit of a TON of storage from the core, but the draw will eventually overcome this and you will need additional storage, so there is a point where smaller = better until you are large enough to start taking advantage of the power tanks storage growth.
