What you suggest is essentially changing a few configurable variables which can currently be done without any dev action required, and could take into account balancing cloakers etc. as well. I'm not sure whether the new power system would allow for a configuration like this. It also has been...

Batavium - simply add an 'at' sign in front of the name of the person, that should send them a notification

"...for the time being" certainly is what you meant to convey? ;) It wouldn't be just a minor disappointment if it's seriously supposed to stay that way in the long run, after all the plans that have been hinted at for a more strategic game play. I get it that factions don't have to actually...

Talking about chunks... would it make sense to optimize for chunk layout, ie. do multiples of 32? A scale of 8m could work in that regard – it's close to the ten metres you're considering, and it's a divisor of 32. I'm not sure it's possible to intentionally build aligned to chunk boundaries, or...

I don't know about the launcher (new or old) since I don't use it, but all of these settings are accessible from within the game, OPTIONS menu, GRAPHICS tab; some of them may require you to restart the game before they show any effect after you changed them, even if it doesn't say so...

It used to be possible, but isn't any longer; I think that option has generally been removed with the un-/load rail update, it definitely isn't possible in the dev builds. AFAIK that was the the sole purpose of introducing the un-/load rails in the first place. You can't push/pull cargo through...

Nice. Now if only we could transfer cargo through turret docks... it used to be possible with more logic trickery bordering on the exploity, but AFAIK this has been patched out.

From memory, I think subdirectories within the blueprint manager have been asked for repeatedly, search might turn up a few discussions. I think generally subdirectories would be a more versatile approach that could be expanded upon once it has been implemented, such that it "physically"...

Try putting it in yourstarmadefolder/customBlockConfig/, as is (tried to be) explained in BlockConfigImportHowto.txt

You mean like this altered reactor config? While it didn't enforce conduits, it eliminated the distance requirement; that should have been enough to at least toy with it. I'm using past tense because in the three weeks since, a lot has changed, and I don't think the file would work as is, but it...

Not if it takes more time to go through all the models, decide which parts to reuse, organize them into templates, and finally add a few to the design you're building. If recognizability isn't even a consideration, then why go through the hassle at all? I think I am creative enough to make a...

For this build, I'm fine with that, yes. Once the shields are gone, I don't think it would matter too much anyway for a ship this size. If I were to go the protection route, I'd have to add way more mass, which in turn pushes up all the other requirements, and would make for a much bigger ship...

I take it there are going to be another fifty turrets on the underside? ;)

...making it even less recognizable. And what are the chances of anyone actually recognizing some obscure part of one ship of one of the 77 fleets that made the contest? Not likely worth the effort IMO.

I'm not the one beating my head against a star, I was trying to prove the point Jojomo was trying to make to Comradecolonel that you can have more than 2k e/s in a shell below 700 tons that is not a stick. I am perfectly happy with how the ship is turning out. Yes, the stabilizers are in the...

Of course they are, for now. Don't forget this is still in development, the current costs are meant to facilitate testing them. In the final release, I'm sure they will have their costs adjusted to something more balanced.

No, different chambers have different capacity cost progression. As an example, "mobility/turn rate" costs 5/5/10% for levels 1/2/3, while "mobility/top speed" costs 5/10/15%, again from 1 to 3.

520 mass, 45x21x19 m, 6500 e/s, TMR 2.3 (not 2.5, but would be possible). Rail landing gear; logic systems; bridge; airlock with 2xUSD; engine room; quarters for crew of three, if spartan; cargo space; 90something each C/C/O main gun and two PDTs. Power only ever gets low if doing anything else...

My guess is this will be one of the last things that get added for fine-tuning balance. It just doesn't make sense right now. To answer your question, yes, as of 0.200.153 all chamber blocks cost 100 credits if you buy them, or one mesh to produce.
