The power requirements of blocks do force fighters to carry a larger power supply compared to vanilla for similar performance, but simultaneously fewer other systems, hard to tell if the same sized craft will be more or less capable. the same . The armor changes make very small craft...

On topic, I'm not fond of the zombie ship aspect, and such tiny entities would be effectively uncounterable via weapons. Perhaps block sized ones can threaten to stowaway onboard a ship like population supposedly will and consume small quantities of power from systems, like 20 e/s per...

schema DukeofRealms So I'm still confused on this part; with your new "regions" system, does the rest of the Galaxy cease to exist, like you're not going to generate a full Galaxy anymore, just a few systems and only one deep, or is the Galaxy still there but considered "void" space and...

Zoolimar That is excellent logic, and a problem when facing small craft. The aiming ai is infact so horrendous right now that isanths are almost invincible vs beam or cannon turrets. Which is a little exasperated by the balance in the current quickfire settings; things are weighted pretty...

Very good idea, would make it all so much easier.

Tooltips in reactor chamber tabs that tell you the exact stats your ship systems have, factoring in chambers currently online and base stats of the ship. For instance, in the FTL chamber tab above the jump drive tree, it should tell you exactly how much e/s resting and charging your jump drive...

Ah, that's a fair goal. But this config did bring back the dreaded perma-cloaker, and made it easy to do at max stealth strength. And simultaneously run a permanent max strength scanner. And that combo doesnt even use more than 40% reactor power on the little test ship I made, no attempt to use...

I actually wouldn't mind seeing all the shortfalls that make smaller weapons unreasonable laid bare, that sort of information is always good to share openly. I've messed around with the configs as they are currently and I noticed it's possible to completely destroy a ships actual reactor...

Changing player scale has been suggested before, but I believe the devs never had any interest in doing that. Like, you could make a customer config that assumes the player is 3.5-4m tall and adjust settings and your designs accordingly. But it's probably not going to actually happen at this...

This is all great information and thank you for sharing it all in one place!

Yeah, I figured as much, but at the same time I wanted to limit the number of turrets to something reasonable, like 18 per craft max, because having too many entities or ai involved in a fight is it's own hurdle.

Just how much has weapon firepower and consumption been increased? Sorry I can't test the configs out myself yet I'm at work. A lot of your changes do interest me, though. Have you considered changing the way turret rotation speed is calculated? Something I've wanted to do is to take not only...

It's a good plan, getting the displays now to fit the characters necessary and positioning the block so its hidden just to achieve this effect can be a pain, a plain invisible/non-interactable block would be nice. We might be able to get the invisible effect modding in a new block with the...

Iirc this exact thing is possible in the source engine, like in the Half Life II games and specifically Gmod; you literally could have alternative viewpoints from camera entities displayed on an objects surface like a texture. Any of the points where you could see other characters on a video...

This is a really interesting idea and I would love to hear whether schema thinks it would be possible to implement

These are all viable ideas as far as I can tell, and frankly I like them all. Oh, I did have a suggestion of my own; I would sincerely like a; Power stability bonus chamber; Each level increases the stabilizer strength of each of your stabilizer groups by 5%. Chamber cc cost/level; 5, 10, 15...

So this is based on some real science, presumably, because I saw it on the science channel, right? Anyway, there is such a thing as as dwarf galaxies. Compared to the milky way, which contains billions of stars and has a spiral shape, these are pretty formless clusters of a few hundred thousand...

If you mean to have several types of advanced armor that have different properties i.e. resistances and manufacturing processes, thatd be cool too, for normal cubic blocks in only one color you can use inside/behind colored/beveled "regular" advanced armor plates. I dont think the heavy vs...

One of the complaints i see and sometimes think about myself is that our choices for good looking hull blocks also happen to be heavy, expensive armored blocks. So the simplest suggestion is to give us some decorative, unarmored, lightweight and dirt cheap blocks that look good as smooth or...

Are we just not using the best terminology here? Is what youre trying to suggest "the first x*(reactorlvl) armor blocks are "free" and dont count towards your ships mass and speed/turn rate?" That could help even the gap between armor and shield tanking, but last i was aware the bigger issue is...
