Hope and nostalgia :)

Yes, the core problem is the AI in this case. All those ideas of factioning warheads would make them completely obsolete, unless you buff their base damage in an extreme way. Atm it is a tedious and dangerous 1 use weapon, which is kinda weak compared to regular weapons. But: You can use it to...

using warhead to grief is likely the most inefficient way to do it... using wireless logic to trigger docked unfactioned weapons from an unfactioned ship or an auto-swarm-missile-launcher thingy would be much better. Or using exploits like the undocked ships bug etc. Warheads have one single...

Exactly. Imo the game needs some ways to perform sneaky operations and stuff. Would be kinda boring without it, and not realistic at all. Warheads have been (at the moment not anymore...) a very good way for smaller factions to be a pain in the *** for larger factions, without having to fight...

well, you already said it: All of this won't be necessary anymore, once turrets work properly and the game's performance was optimized. Until then, i'm fine with how they work. Btw... turrets use far less power than player controlled cannons, when it comes to waffle arrangements and if you build...

EE <3 it was great!

we had the same discussion about ion passive and block damage malus a few days ago. MrFurb said, it never actually had a malus, the ingame text description seems to be wrong.

i remember causing A LOT of chaos with a combination of a cloaker/jammer with some warheads docked to it and a (docked/logic controlled) shield drain beam (they didnt ignore shields back then) before the armor update and before scanners were implemented :D they were so OP, especially since both...

Indeed. Bobby AI doesnt need time to lock on with missiles and is not handicaped if many nav indicators are close to the "target". they also have no problems hitting ships when their movement is stuttering because of lags etc. I can only see one use, where bobby AI should actually be better than...

Thank you :) thats why it was 13% all the time, when shields were (almost) completely full all the time.

in my case, my shields didnt even drop, since the recharge was strong enough. so my shields were at 100% all the time, still it displayed the 13%

Very nice work and some rather annoying bugs seem to be fixed with that hotfix! awesome :D i noticed, that when under fire, the display shows my normal shield recharge with "(under fire 13%)" behind it.. 13%? did i miss something? i thought you just buffed recharge under fire to 25%? is it...

ok, thank you! now i can just leave it active and do no longer feel like having any disadvantage, if i do so :)

As soon as i find some time ill do some larger scale testing :) until you guys sayd, it might not (anymore) be the case with additional block dmg, i never questioned it to be true. Hope we will have clarity on this soon :/

dude, just read the ingame description of the ion defensive effect... not at all making assumptions, just reading correctly ^^ the starmade wiki doesnt mention the penalty though, maybe it's just an artifact in the decription of the block. The text i mentioned can be found in the INGAME...

im really not sure, didnt test it enough tbh. afaik ion worked liked that before defensively. not sure, if changes have been made. its no big deal to turn off an effekt once shields are down usually. ofc, sometimes you might lose your missiles' lock to do so etc. so, if someone can like 100%...

The description of the passive effect in the game still says "Makes your shields stronger against damage at the price of additional block damage and power consumption". Im not sure, if this it still the case, or if it is outdated.

@ Madman: Don't know, if we mean the same thread, but i also already sayd sth about so called "armor tanks" in another thread. The best way imo - after rather intensive testing - ist to have layers of adv armor (1 or several layers, depending on the ships size) on the outside or (more risky) in...

i prefer "small" ships. At least im sure most of you would consider them small, while beginners usually consider them massive :) the fun in designing and building a ship for me is more trying to make them as efficient as possible, use logic for neat features, use powerful passive effects with...

@ Edymnion: Missile speed is based on server max speed afaik edit: just tested with a tiny ship. speed for missiles was exactly the same with no thrusters on the test ship and with a 2.5:1 thrust mass ratio. edit 2: @ topic: lots of good advice was given by DrTardis imo. you want basic hull...
