I've noticed that the orientation of the pickup point changes when attached to an activation module and turned off, looks like it inverts itself. That always led me to believe that orientation was important. Glad to know it's not.

This option would be Very Helpful in so many ways. Please let's get this implemented.

I did not vote. I have played this game roughly two months and have very little to no idea what the OP is even talking about. The diagrams provided are not clear and the bullet points make no sense to me. This is obviously one in a chain of other threads, or just a continuation of some other...

I still can't help remembering the Eleventh Doctor on Starship UK in The Beast Below and kinda hoping we can rope one for use as a stardrive of some sort...

Ahh, yes, thanks that works!!

Would it be possible to get the links that take a reader back up to higher levels in the forum tree hierarchy duplicated at the bottom of the thread? Or perhaps a link that instantly takes you back to the top of the page? Either will do. When reading a long page of posts in a thread, having to...

Am I the only one that reads the subject line on this thread in the voice of Mr. Incredible?

Yes, the Galactica can produce the smaller ships, but nothing even half as big as itself. And I did say earlier that the original large ship would either need to be built by a shipyard somewhere or "by hand" just tacking stuff onto a smaller ship as you go. That's totally doable. Probably where...

Not sure if the time currently required to build a 20^3 structure is long enough to consider even a 4x build time any sort of a disadvantage... I'd still think a bigger ship should be able to mount a bigger shipyard.

Never really played HW, so really can't answer to that, but you can't tell me seriously that the Galactica was built by another Battlestar. It just makes no sense to me to have a shipyard that's ON a ship be able to build a ship that's the same size as the ship it's on. The shipyard would by...

Makes me giggle whenever someone pronounces "meme" as two syllables. Y'all know it rhymes with (and is derived from) the word "theme"...?

Mine was on an Apple ][e, but I later made a Lotus123 (might have been quatropro) spreadsheet that allowed me to design any sort of High Guard ship of any TL I wanted and get all the stats and the USP on it. :) Since WWI, ship displacements have increased 3 to 5-fold. The original HMS...

At which point it is nothing but a station... back to square 1 But to actually answer your question, it's because the shipyard requires power and a workforce, and a ship requires crew. Those people need a place on the ship to reside. A station and a ship must be distinguishable at some level...

What some people seem to be missing is that military ship classifications weren't originally based on mass or size of the ship, but its role in the fleet. That role is what dictated the ship's speed, armament, defensive capability, and all that together dictated the size of the ship. As...

I thought mass enhancers were only needed if the portion docking to it was over mass of 50. If you have a gun assembly mounted into a turret base that's only mass 20, why would you need an enhancer?

A Fleet Command Module on the carrier/mothership, and a Fleet Communication Module on the other ships. Additionally, the FCM could give the carrier a "Flagship" flag, which could turn out useful in additional scenarios.

I'm a fan of options, the more the better. I would like to see shipyards on ships, but I do think they need to be restricted. The only restriction that makes sense to me is limiting the shipyard's dimensions to a % of the ship's dimensions, regardless of how big the shipyard modules in the ship...

Yes, yes, fix all the things!! :D

Something like that, indeed. :)

Why? Why ask "why"? I have a bank of X factories each with Y enhancers attached. If I want to make 1 million grey hull in Z amount of time, I'd rather have the flexibility of using several factories than have a single factory set to make that many that fast. More factories allows for multiple...
