First off, please respond normally, so I can actually quote you, unless your intention is to try and "win" the argument by making me not want to bother responding. While cost is an important balancing feature, you keep forgetting to really mention WHAT the cost you are balancing really is...

Maybe you misread my statement. I was saying that "I want to build a ship without shields or engines, but I still want it to be equal to ships with them." is the equivalent of saying "I want to build a ship without interiors or crew, but I still want it to be equal to ships with them."...

Well, when the LUA system is introduced, you'll be able to make a "return to XYZ position" thing for your ship if it gets moved, so there isn't really a reason to have the anchor block capable of doing both.

I want to build a ship without shields or engines, but I still want it to be equal to ships with them. This is what the argument against needing interiors for your NPCs amounts to. Designs for ships will need to change over time. This is how an alpha game works. Things change. Look at the...

Cost is not a balancing feature when the "expensive items" used to obtain them are actual very easy to obtain. Take diamonds for example, since you love bringing them up. You first diamond tools can be gotten in under 10 minutes, and your full diamond armor can be gotten within a few hours. Cost...

Where are the days past day 4?

But that doesn't solve the lag problem incurred by ships ramming into each other.

If you favorite server decides to set the settings to something you don't like, it's time to find a new server, or get used to it. If everyone else likes something, they shouldn't have to bend away from that for one person. And anyway, the final decision on those kinds of things goes down to the...

You are probably wrong. "Quantum Field Generator" is some pseudoscience garbage. The only scifi things I can find related to QFGs are some, surprise, pseudoscience garbage line from the new Thor movie, and a hyperdrive mechanic from Star Wars.

For what purpose do we need travel time?

I don't really see a purpose in this game for mechs that couldn't be filled with much more reliable hover cores. Everyone wants a giant robot without thinking of the problems with it.

Maybe if something is hit with a big enough force, the anchor block shatters and the ship can be moved again. Also, you can't really blockade a sector with them. They aren't invincible. Just shoot the fence of anchored ships they have set up.

Maybe past a certain projectile size to projectile power ratio, it consumes more and more power. That way, a 1x500x500 cannon might shoot a really big projectile, but it drains all their power, so it isn't sustainable.

I think it should just lock in in place, not make it return to the original area when bumped. That doesn't fix the lag problem of two large ships moving and colliding.

+1. I've been wanting this for ages. If it was added, I'd make a huge charge laser. I don't think it should work with missiles, though.

Someone made a suggestion that would allow this to work. I'll see if I can find it. EDIT- http://starmadedock.net/threads/gravity-orbit-add-an-extra-planetary-gravity-layer.1033

How would something continue to exist without a diamond showing it exists? Wow, I have no idea. If you meant espionage, it adds the need for it, so you know where you need to target. You can totally do espionage. Just wait for someone to forget to close the door and sneak in and steal the...

What about logic blocks? With those I can fire weapons while they fire weapons? Are you actually serious? You can already do that with this magical thing called being the pilot, and it just so happens to be a lot better in every single way. Having the same number of each block type isn't the...

No diamond displaying the hub doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Boom, espionage (actual spying, not that stupid "alt imbedded in the enemy faction" espionage) is now an important thing to do, so you can know where to target on the enemy ship. And also, believe it or not, a suggestion can evolve...

Adds tactics to combat in the form of making boarding/defending from boarders a viable strategy. Adds tactics in the form of targeting enemy NPC hubs. If an NPC is controlling a computer, even after the core is damaged, doesn't that mean is does work to stop core drilling? Ships with...
