What my thought is, wouldn't a 1000 damage impact do more damage with punch through than piercing? Im assuming the HP system means that you want to destroy lots of blocks(Punch), not lightly damage a large amount of blocks(Pierce).

When the HP system comes out. Won't it make piercing worthless? (In comparison to punch through) Also Beam : Pulse is doing something like 2500 Damage per 1 energy at the moment (Or close to). Pretty sure this might be a bug (currently working on a billion damage cannon. 3500 beams, 3500...

Beams behavior seems really buggy. on a 1:1 Beam : Pulse array. You can tap the fire button, or hold it down and watch your energy (literally) tank while obliterating anything in front of you.

One shot with the 40 blocks the burst took about 1 second, it did closer to about 80-95K damage in one second. Also check the 2nd edit. -edit- erm... the 30 mass can punch through about 3 million shields

20 Beams, with 20 Beam Slaves in 2 banks (40 block total, two 20s) can tear through 100K of shields. Damage is burst with slow cool down. or aprox 2500 damage per block in the setup. with a ~35 second cool down so the DPS is about... 2855/s -edit- My bad I was using Beam, Damage Pulse. >.<...

2 banks of 10 beam masters with 1:1 Beam Slave. Just blew through 75K of shields... Energy use, was *almost* non existent. (<3K?)

I've actually had a lot of fun with AMC : Beam : 100% Punch Through paired with AMC : AMC : 50% EMP Who I wouldn't kill for that ability to... AMC : Beam : 25% EMP : 25% Ion

The only issue I have at the moment are that all effects tied to beams are broken. I was hoping to build a beam fighter. (It made more sense to me. Hitscan on fast moving objects for better accuracy than AMC) Otherwise everything in this build seems really nice. I mean there of course will be...

I finally found it in the bug tracker. Ion effects on Beams are currently bugged http://bugs.star-made.org/issues/272

Has anyone else had problems with 50 beams, 50 AMC, 50 Ion? On my freshly restarted (deleted old starmade folder and redownloaded the complete new 1.52) world the laser is doing 0 damage to shields and 100 damage a tick vs asteroids/blocks.

That is completely unethical! And.... I think we're hijacking the thread at this point. So I will restate my ideas and mosey onto bed. >-=--=--=--=--=-< --=--< Idea >--=-- >-=--=--=--=--=-< A) Cheap IFF block that tells Bobby AIs not to fire on faction(s) B) A Drone Hanger Block! Works like...

...Which brings me back to my earlier point that if there were a cheaper block that some how kept AI controlled fighters from firing on me or anyone else on my faction and didn't cost 100,000 credits, when the Drone it's self only costs 54,000... That would be awesome. Because even if the IFF...

Oh and on that point. Being a non admin playing on a multiplayer server... Faction blocks are not cheap.

On a side note... Drone Hanger Block! Works like your basic docking block but can't[edited from can, was a typo] be "blocked" by other blocks. the goal is to use Drone Hanger Block Enhancers to set the size of the hanger, and extend it to one block past the hanger door/opening. Then you can...

Well, even a hostile setting wouldn't work if you were trying to do a first strike, or say protect yourself [Assuming the attackers would think to target you and not the AI controlled fighters, give them one or two to notice...]. If you could just give the drones a cheap IFF block that tells the...

The biggest issue I've always thought would be... What do the AI controlled fighters target? "Your Target[YT]" or "Any Target[AT]"? With [YT] AI params, it makes them kinda, redundant [Like Turrets basically]? Or if you select [AT] then, I'd assume the basic AI controlled fighter would Target...

Ship based all the way. While planet based would be awesome. It seems reasonably cheesy. Especially on say, a faction planet with enough power to jump you practically anywhere (because a faction base is immune to damage, just make giant stupid power arrays.

Understandably, but like I said it was a rough concept. AI improvements could(may?) be added to prioritize blocks, or allow the AI to know "about" where the core is. Blast away then prioritize the core. Giving bobby AI a general idea of where the core is would prevent the over abuse of using AI...

The biggest questions I have... 1) Will we ever get to make disentigrator block missiles that work? (Suicide mode on Bobby AI?) 2) The new HP system... How would it work? Are all the blocks lumped together to formulate a "MAX HP" ? 2a) Does this mean if I take a massive cannon and shoot at a...

From my understanding they are making the ship core hold a "mock up" of the blue print for the ship that updates when you exit build mode. The diamond would adjust to the "exact center" after exiting build mode. So for example.... Ship is 21M long, 10M wide, 10M tall. The diamond would sit at...
