You can put weapons on a station. I was just talking about the jump charge thing... Trading it is far from impossible, seeing as it's just a number like any other, but obviously you can't automate jump charging so it can't be used on stations.

...And get obliterated the second someone decides they don't like me? No thanks.

The nature of sectors in ST is extremely inconsistent, like many other things... I was just pointing out that named sectors (and sectors in general) were a thing in ST, not just galactic quadrants, which are too huge to compare to SM sectors.

My gosh, that's an amazing idea... One problem, though. On a station, where would the jump charge supply come from? You can't automate jump drive charging, sadly...

IMO, there should be an effect module you can link to weapons that converts part of their damage into a (small) percentage of their jump charge being removed.

Someone really needs to create a mobile-device-like computer with a potato for a case.

Maybe natural explosion+piercing? Rapid cannons could get a slight pierce effect too, just not as large. Also, guys, Schema messed up. Cannons are the ones intended to be able to shoot down missiles.

Star Trek has ____ Sectors too. http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Sector

The way I see it, Stop Effect is so powerful so that people will actually use it... Otherwise everyone's just going to use punch, ion, (rarely) EMP, or overdrive, and this will be a very boring world.

Rather than a specific point where suddenly ship turning starts to suck, I'd imagine a gentle curve that slowly flattens out at a certain point... Essentially a soft-capped nerf. :p

Impressive ships... Compared to a lot of the armor-plated cuboids (And conglomerations thereof) I've been seeing flying around, those are pretty unique original designs. Not that I have anything against this look sometimes...

IDK if it's "ridiculous," nor if it's a war on titans. The only thing that makes it ridiculous is the fact that it isn't just a war on titans - IMO, it's a war on anything larger than a frigate or smallish cruiser, and anything that isn't an ugly cube. However, titans should definitely have...

Just so you guys remember, cloaking and jamming will almost certainly be rebalanced when the HP system is in. Currently, jamming is extremely buffed as a temporary fix for core drilling... That will change. Cloaking mechanics will probably become more interesting, and less annoying, as well.

Well, truth is, it isn't that easy to hit missiles, but yes, I do agree. (Likewise with warpgates being one-per-station.)

Planned; should be in by next January but IDK.

Nice job, but I see no reason why a cloaking ship should have to be recognizable as such at all. The whole point of cloaking is stealth, it shouldn't require a ship to look like a big chunk of reactor blocks, which gives it away immediately.

...I find that the best way to balance missile HP is for it to be a function of (of all things) cooldown. It should be decently easy to shoot down easily-replaceable rapid missiles, but heavy hulk missiles and lockons, which there aren't always many chances to fire, should take fairly good...

...Except then, what if the "outlaw" already has practically unlimited resources? Then they can do whatever the hell they want, the trading guild can't touch them, other players can't touch them, their base is probably practically invincible...

This is actually a really nice way to keep track of this, and a very useful tool. Nice work. Now if only we could get a programmer to make a self-updating application thing for this, so that an image doesn't have to be remade and reedited into the post... I agree. However, while this IS alpha...

Yes, but... freedom to do what? What activity? Player-made minigames get boring after a while, too... While it's very slowly improving, I'm not sure if the currently-available tools for creating said games is enough to balance off the lack of in-the-box content and depth. That said, this IS...
