Have you considered that people are voting for it because it looks good?

Yes. Buying fully built ships from shops for credits feels imbalanced and doesn't make any sense. Perhaps shops could sometimes come with ship fabricators?

When is the neutral contest coming up for voting? Also, while I love my own station here, I think I'm gonna have to vote for other, superior stations here.

I'm not saying people shouldn't compete. I'm saying the end all to end all shouldn't be a 600m capital ship. I DO think people should be able to build large ships, and I think those ships should be good. But the faction with the biggest ship shouldn't be able to automatically win every fight...

Yeah, right until we get hyper-competitive factions who only fly capitals.

I've been working on a new fighter/drone design today. It's a larger fighter, current dimensions at 25x8x17. It has two wings, each of which hold what I'm calling a "pancake drone." They're 7x3x7, equipped with quad rapid overdrive cannons, and are released upon arrival at combat to provide...

Are people seriously still using the "dur tiny fighter should no kil ze big titen" argument? Thanks, captain obvious. Those against gigantism just want small (not tiny micro fighters) to still be useful, and for big ships to be an actual difficult achievement for a faction, not just something...

Yeah, I suppose. My idea was basically so that they couldn't just be spammed, because you'd need to incorporate a somewhat valuable material. This would also make automatic ship fabrication more of late term thing, instead of something everyone and their dog would have as soon as they get a...

Well, simple. You'd need a 3D frame to designate the printer size, and it could only print things that fit inside the frame. You'd link it to a docking block inside the frame and it would build the ship on it. The 'Printer Frame' blocks could be made somewhat expensive to build and energy...

I think onboard systems should all be built with "most efficient" shapes in mind, but that's really a topic for another thread.

Do sniper arrays shoot 1000 or 2000 meters? Either way, that's a huge ship. As said before, default sector size and weapon ranges are low for testing purposes. Less bugs with sector transitions would be noticed if you weren't frequently changing them. Weapon ranges are balanced around the...

Why were push pulses nerfed in the first place? @Calbiri? @schema? Push pulses can't have tertiary effects, correct? Perhaps this should be changed. As they don't do damage, there are a lot of effects that wouldn't have any use, but giving extra push ability to push pulses would be nice.

I'm usually against these types of things, but I've got to say- Docked Generators. You can bypass the power cap with them.

I've stated why I think it isn't worth schema's valuable time to even implement it as a gimmick, at least not until the game is finished, anyway.

Somewhat agree. I don't think a capital ship should be using a machine gun as it's doomsday weapon, for one thing. But that's for another topic. What you suggest is pretty much what we had before. I believe there was also a softcap on range as well, it was just so high that it was never an...

Can you put weapons on a station and fire them with logic? If so, you could have detector blocks activate when a ship is in front of the beam to be charged. If not, you could just use a docked ship. As for where the charge comes from, since I don't think it would be possible to trade jump...

Yeah, this is never happening. At least not for a decade or so when most phones can even run the game. Plus, how would you even control everything? Half the screen would be taken up with buttons.

Ranges are currently low as the default sector size is low. In the future, when the default sector size is increased, so will weapon ranges. @Calbiri said this in another thread with the same topic a while back, I believe) If you want weapon ranges to be higher currently, you can set it higher...

I'm not sure about this. It make it so people don't build ships that can do anything, and if you want to be able to do anything, it'll be a pain to do so. If you can't fit everything on the bar, instead of thinking there aren't enough slots, maybe you should think that you have too many things.

I think that just doors and computers (including things like bobby ai's) should be able to be destroyed by hand held weapons through shields. That way, people can board and sabotage ships, but can't just be annoying and blow up random bits of your ship. "Now, Lecic, this is still very griefy...
