It depends a lot on when the next update will come out. I'm a bit reticent to work on it since I don't know what will need changing. I'm just making systems at the moment.

I personally use cannon/cannon checkerboard patterns (of varying sizes, depending on the turret). That way it fires walls of bullets at missiles. Honestly though, just make sure that you only use a single cannon block per weapon group (non-touching cannon groups). Using more than that is...

I really agree with that. Shipyards should be the slower than hand repairing, or with a really good (expensive) shipyard maybe close to the same speed. Don't forget that blocks aren't free anymore either, so every hole you put in an enemy has it's own merit :D Edit: Oh, and this; (with the...

You have officially become like the Vaygr ;)

Hmmm, I got to admit that you have a point here. However, I think that small turrets should benefit the most from mothership shields at least until the shipyard update. After that turrets can have no shielding from the mothership at all (like now) for all I care. Ripping small turrets off a ship...

Oh? You've used a small craft in a battle in the past? I have yet to see a SINGLE person do that.

Thing is, I have 3 super turrets, 12 medium turrets and 106 anti-missile turrets on my ship. I'd like to have the small anti-missile turrets shielded (I couldn't give less of a &$*# about the super turrets as they each have >20 mil shields). However, with what you're proposing the giant turrets...

It was unnamed25, no?

Fire, the moderator :P

Eh, I'd rather have it be diminishing protection based on the turret/ship mass ratio. The bigger the turret compared to the ship the less protection it gets. Honestly though, I really don't see why you people want to limit turrets so much. Perhaps a a config option, but not as default. I say...

I really don't mind harder, so long as it's possible. I'm just gonna go on a guess here and assume that the bigger turrets are less efficient because they won't get as much shielding from the mothership as smaller turrets would, hence the rumor. Tbh, I'd much rather see people use two big...

Yea, I meant in a normal server environment, sorry :P

I use cannon/beam for my big turrets. It murders enemy shields at long range, hits almost instantly, can't really miss (depends on accuracy setting) and can't be shot down by missiles. I mostly agree with the rest. Except for drones. You stated the downsides yourself :p. In practice I haven't...

I'm just using a normal checkerboard with bearishmushroom's pewier pews shader mod. And last I heard punch-through works with beams, it'd be even more effective than explosive for penetration damage. I forgot to mention that I fire with left click to concentrate all the beams on the same spot.

(Skip the first paragraph for the actual guide) Punch-through was nerfed because it allowed weapons (specifically cannon-cannon) to become monstrous against blocks with absolutely no penalty or counter. The only other weapon that's good against blocks and shields is missiles, but they're...

Challenge #1: Challenge #3:

The captain's tube (I still can't find a proper name) Medituboid™ can recreate a virtual zen garden in a virtual world (among other things, think SAO or matrix style). In case someone would need one ;) The physical zen garden will be in my station :P

It's also the first anniversary for the Soon™ buyer's badge! Really duke? REALLY???

I just broke my finger on the agree button.

I love how you've said (and contradicted) that about 5 times by now ;)
