I argue against this. In almost all 'jump drive' related science fiction you have to properly plot a course to travel to ensure you don't fly through a star (StarGate Universe being pretty much the only one that doesn't!). All because you're lazy and want to set your destination and go in a...

Raiben, awesome vid. It's really really good! =)

Gas Giants. Would be spectacularly easy to implement with the existing code base using a star-style damage effect when a ship gets too close to the center of the Gas giant. Planets with Moons. Even generating large asteroids in orbit of a planet wound add some additional diversity! Smooth...

If you're looking for ways to get this done with what we've got, setup a Pull Effect computer on your 'mother ship' and tractor-beam them back inside your hanger. It makes life a lot easier than having to fly out and retrieve each one individually! With how awesome a lot of the updates have...

I'm not too certain what mistakes are being made here, but for a game that's in early alpha, you've gotta roll with this. Folks spent time and effort theorizing and optimising the shape and build pattern of power cores then the math changed and blew it all out of the water. The point here...

@JKF1209 while I'm totally with you on wanting to understand the full workings of every system in the game, you've got to admit it's utterly impractical for anyone to know all the math behind every game we play - so we have to work with some bits on faith, ignore others and focus really on what...

Yea, or do that! Bootnote: Windows8.1 ewwwwwwwww *shiver*

Steve, So I read your response and went to check out your site and I can only agree, the new website theme is remarkably better than before. There are still a few hiccups that you may want to take care of, but I agree that your services should be your priority and I can only congratulate you on...

Awesome stuffs. I'm massively impressed by the decrease in logic. You've done a great job to minimize it. I look forward to seeing your next round of improvements! ~CR~

How big is this ship?!!?

*nods* Can't argue with you. +1 for you two having similar minds! :)

Terramort you've clearly given this a lot more thought than I did, and I like the conclusions you've drawn! I'd love to see that type of end system in place.

NeonSturm has detailed it pretty exact mate. '.rar' files are like '.zip' files, they are files containing compressed files. There is a multitude of unpacking/extracting software available for free, my personal favorite being 7Zip, though WinRar works perfectly. Go on Google, find these...

Great idea, I did toy with something similar myself but congratz on seeing your idea into reality and posting it up! Few things to note: - This becomes crazy for BIG elevators - any more than 9 floors and you start running out of space for floor switches, assuming you have half your ship free...

Yup, looks like the planet hasn't rendered in yet or the server hasn't generated it yet. It's worth just floating around for a little while.

Nice idea Sven_The_Slayer , or perhaps it simply shouldn't detonate on the surface but rather destroy the first couple of blocks like a punch-through AMC, then explode, causing damage to internal components but less so to the hull. Depriest, I'll re-run my tests to see if they come out like yours.

I was messing around with different weapon combinations for a missile launcher to replace an old one that wasn't very good before anyway. What I really wanted was a lock-on missile that would pretty much 1-hit a small to medium fighter (which is what this ship is designed to counter at 150 long...

Oh I'm not disagreeing there, just saying my personal preference for turret mechanics would be balanced based on distance between turret and target, and the size of the target.

keptick, your idea sounds good, but is flawed in that accuracy should in no way be affected by the size difference between turret and target. Velocity of target and Distance to target. These are the keys that should affect a turret's ability to hit what it's shooting at. The fact that a turret...
