There is no need for justification here. Forming sub-communities is a natural right everyone has , there could be groups restricted to people who dislike sushis and build purple ships. A significant part of the pre-existing community has done all they could to help newcomers , only to find all...

Something I considered is that weapons cannot really have meaningful \"light\" classes , even with just one group allowed per ship the bigger ones are sure to field them. A solution is to have weapons that affect both ships on different scales. For instance , an energy neutralizer that removed...

Something feels wrong however - shield cost value bothers me , and the net regen appears miscalculated (not the sum of all other values) anyway. Looking forward to the next version , hopefully with cloak & jammer drains as well !

As of now , there is no manoeuverability disadvantage to speak of. All ships regardless of size can accelerate in all 6 directions just as easily , making it practically impossible to change your position relative to a decently reactive player in any useful way. Larger ships certainly are...

Power drain beams appear to crash the server when they succeed in draining someone\'s power.

I think there\'s no difference made between dirt blocks , flowers and L5 ores in pirate loot - because there are so many ore types , you are very likely to obtain valuable stuff. Even with loot probability and stack count reduced each by a tenth , you can still obtain millions from ores and...

Relax. This is really wonderful and will give schema unbelievable awesome data to fine-tune the game. Namely , the statistical certainty that the game as it is can\'t handle dozens of players in the same spot. :p

Mostly this was to address the aesthetic issue of functional stealth ships made of nothing but flashy exposed modules ; also , to get the discussion rolling. Stealth can have its cost raised in many ways , and I think extra hull is a more interesting form of protection than generic shields -...

This concept may be of use for those who lament the lack of shield buffer on their capital ships. Independently powered plate-ships mostly made of shields , preferably 12x12 (maximum size allowed by a simple docking module) without a great regen , but adding up much more shield capacity than...

This follows on a discussion to incentivize ships interior , as opposed to the current state of solid shield block / power tank / weapon battery volumes. It mainly applies to the larger ships (at least 50 wide) Make each individual subsystem (linked modules) require more surface exposed to...

Instead of just being another \'yay, +1, great idea!\', I\'ll comment and point out a few thoughts regarding the idea including possible issues with it as well. Thanks for your time , I didn\'t feel like addressing them in detail. Nay -1 bad ideas ! :p

Ideally the ship would first be dismantled into components , then those may or may not be sold depending on shop capacity.

Right now it\'s possible to move your view around until you fit through spaces , but it can take forever to adjust it and then have to sidestep into the doorway. Not sure how it would interact with gravity , however.

I think pirate stations would be a threat if there were actual pirates defending them. Turrets are always going to be exploitable on their own , and fare better in support of mobile fighters.

Due to blocks such as thrusters and AMCs having the same grey texture on all but one side , designers lose the functional overview of their ship as blocks blend in. This can make it harder to find weapon computers / cloak / jammer modules , or verify that lines of thrusters are properly...

I had a bug where a weapon group\'s stats weren\'t updated as the % values were changed. Fire rate remained constant , and damage applied to blocks as well. This happened on the 5 blocks AMC group of a small ship , before and after being saved as blueprint / bought from catalog.

At first I thought it was just parallax from the cockpit , but missiles did fire from the wrong spot. This makes aiming at small targets rather challenging.

I suppose this one also qualifies as dev build.

There\'s no such thing as forcing creativity , people love lowest common denominator strategies and will often imitate each other , if they can\'t use a ready-made optimal design. What matters is that unconventional playing styles and exotic designs have a chance to compete with the more...

While I think it\'s difficult to predict the result of bringing lots of new weapon classes (stats and firing modes would have to be experimented with) I completely agree with the prerequisite changes. Increasing damage while reducing rate of fire is an excellent skill mechanic , helping both...
