Good point; this should probably be moved to General.

...And I think that forcing players to have somewhere for a pilot to sit/stand makes sense. But ehh.

The texture pack you use doesn't change thruster plume rendering settings... :P

Yes, but realistically, would anyone actually attack anyone or anything else in a fighter? It isn't as though they're of any use against vessels larger than them, or even sometimes turrets their own size because turrets are usually clustered... It just seems so much safer to fly a corvette...

Yeah; rather than having everything fixed at 100%, there should be a max effective ratio for offensive and defensive blocks.

Haha... My small ships are basically empty boxes with a core column in the middle, windows, a console or two, and engines and a shield generator in the back. I've never made a fighter in my life since they seem so... useless.

...If the IDs are in the order of tens of thousands, what do we have to worry about? We can practically 'waste' 1000 IDs on what is functionally one block, if we want (Kind of like Minecraft's technical blocks), and still have massive amounts of IDs left... Or have five hundred different styles...

It isn't that hard to have a 2x2 space in your fighter for a player to slip into... So IMO disappearing into cores is unneeded.

Naaaah. You should have to sit in a chair to use a Build Console/block/whatever, rather than just disappearing into it.

Yes, but how many IDs DO we have?

It's a bit glitchy, I think, but a glitch is a glitch, and can be fixed. You're supposed to be able to have two people in build mode at the same time, but it doesn't always work.

...The Missile + Beam combo can hit things, though. :P

I kind of agree with Sesh, actually. Default weapon speed needs to increase somewhat, and the effect of the AMC combo needs to be nerfed to compensate.

Power usage, regeneration, and capacity can be balanced so that people's shield generator / shield capacitor combined array would take up no more space than old shield arrays. HOWEVER, yes, shield generation needs to be both really expensive in credits and power, and needs to have diminishing...

It can already be done with Build Blocks aboard your ship, which are just an uglier version of the same thing.

Alright, then for fairness' sake, I'll give you the full description, department chief, almost-full roster (Excluding undercover operatives), and list of publicly-known missions. Aethi Central Intelligence Department [I'M TOO LAZY TO WRITE THIS OUT] XD

There is no reason for the Starfleet Intelligence description to be redacted. Everyone knows what the CIA is, everyone knows what an intelligence agency is in general, etc.; it's no secret. The only secret is the things they happen to actually be doing right now. :p

People keep forgetting that a broken feature is broken, and will be fixed... Just because a feature is bugged doesn't mean it's permanently shitty and/or meaningless.

Wow. This'll be great... Particularly the removal filter. Hopefully most servers will keep their setting at 10^3, though, because otherwise build block exploitation will become even easier.

That actually sounds like a great idea, Blodge. (Also, thanks for the bump. I wanted to do it myself, but sadly I was the last poster so any attempt by me would look suspiciously like... what it is)
