      How to calculate ship stats in advance?

      i generally balance post-hull. mostly because i tend to have irregular spaces. i thought of using a filler block to see how much system space i have. then calculate and then go. my issue is hull weight with pleasing designs. the texture update helped a little with basic hull looking...

      How Drone Mining Works

      . yah i fiddled with it but it was always after the drones mined 1 astroid completely. i could reorder, change sectors etc. and they then would refuse. unless i relogged. makes seeing if things work annoying if i have to test past 1 astroid on each iteration. made me believe it was nothing...

      What are reasonable and enforceable limits to reduce lag in multiplayer?

      passive mass limits via scaling curves would be much better. sure you can have a 200k mass ship but its efficiency would drop somewhere. either harsher shield block requirements. scale down of power for large weapon systems.(and get rid of the turret loophole to fire multiple computers at once)...

      What are reasonable and enforceable limits to reduce lag in multiplayer?

      server options do seem to limit some things. you dont want to brick blueprints for the server with odd block configs. but having to police who has what fleet setup/etc/etc.. and there will of course always be people who believe someone is edge shooting in a battle... but sadly this update...

      What are reasonable and enforceable limits to reduce lag in multiplayer?

      The weapon range would be very helpful with AI and range players missile beaming before the defender can load them in. Server speed on the server is 300 m/s Unintended consequences with this plus lack of chaindrives, manual mining becomes more a grindfest. Which is hurting the game if that's...

      Incentives to Expansion (Anti-Turtling)

      iv seen servers struggle with mixing all the play styles into one package. build sectors, etc. but the admin presence required can be rough. some ideas to ponder Galaxy controls: the suggestion for galaxy generation and controls has been around for some time. If we could have a setup where the...

      What are reasonable and enforceable limits to reduce lag in multiplayer?

      the fleet restriction may be a bit small to make carriers not viable. we are assuming the update after this will be fleet based. everyone will be playing with it.

      Incentives to Expansion (Anti-Turtling)

      as far as PVP: its upto server owners and players. people will not naturally pvp and feel to join in it without experience. and the vast majority of players have 0 pvp experience outside pirates and massive ships griefing. events, contests. tournaments. challenges.. sandbox really needs...

      The relative merits, chain drives versus regular jump drives

      for now with chain drives being a thing. when i install a normal jump drive, its Purely for combat situations running into jump inhibitors. not for casually jumping and trying to get its charge fast enough to tolerate..so i utilize both in most of my ships. eventually we will be left Without...
