Yes, but if you make a room out of lights, where there should theoretically be no dark areas, it'll have the same problem... :P

I think what we need is a Synchronize Velocity Effect Computer. One that doesn't stop something in world space, but stops it relative to the ship shooting the beam, so you can drag it along.

Agreed. Numbers in this game are stupidly high... You can often just slash zeroes off of them with no real negative effect. If prices are cut down, then Terrain blocks that you mine off of asteroids and planets will become a little less useless, too.

Replace part of the top hull face with a line of AMC blocks. Since AMCs aren't butt-ugly any more, it'll look fine...

Um. Need I say more? There's no reason why the area nearest to a light block should cast a shadow. It creates weird dark edges around everything that just look... strange.

Nope. Logic can't cross entities... it can undock things, but not much more.

Not really, Izikiel... If Schema can make planet cores have health points, he can probably do the same with missiles. However, I'd want there to be an AI priority setting, if this is added - Missile or Ship. (This could be extended to include settings for ships, like Shields Down, Smallest...

Loving the new muzzle flash concept... But yeah, the beam charge-up should be optional, and is a planned combo.

Because then you can't really disable it unless you turn off all of your turrets, or run around your ship doing it manually. :P

...But this is just a fix patch... Schema always does those if an update is buggy. He says updates should come every two weeks or so now, but we'll see...

Until today's patch, yes. But I believe that it SHOULD be this way - just not without any way to bring down shields without having to get them shot down. >.<

Correct. I don't remember, though, if they were actually launched out or if they flew out under their own power.

Tell that to the Romulan Star Navy and see what happens to your ship.

Ehh, Minecraft balanced that pretty well IMO. You can use fairly cheap Iron armor and tools and you'll do pretty well as long as you don't go looking for trouble, and you can get decent L1 and L2 enchantments without grinding massive amounts of XP. But yeah, I do like how your effectiveness in...

That isn't the point... It's only so someone can tow you with their tractor beam or for testing the effectiveness of weapons, etc., and as a way to balance certain things or as a status effect from anomalies. Either way, development seems to have gone into a feature freeze, and the Release...

...Not without undocking your shuttles and other non-fighter docked ships along with your fighters.

...Energy shields (shields made of energy) are usually designed to deflect or absorb kinetic AND energy attacks, but are generally more iffy when trying to repel energy attacks... At least in most mainstream sci-fi as far as I've seen.

Yes; and an energy shield can repel objects and 'normal' explosives. That's why in other games people can't just nuke every single enemy mothership they see instantly.

It's a habit I picked up because I used to always respond, realize that I hadn't noticed someone else's post that made it not make sense, then had to go and edit in a quote anyway. So no, I won't. :P

Simple; the energy just repels the projectile. Think of a magnetic field. Plasma, ions, etc. might interact with and destabilize the energy field a bit, though, since it's actually NOT just an electromagnet, which seems to be the general idea behind Disruptors and - sort of - Phasers in Star Trek.
