You could always include part of the story which fits in a post as a hook, prior to the link to wherever you decide to host the full thing.

You know, one of my favorite ships in Star Control II is the Spathi Eluder (and I rigged my flagship to emulate it by launching rear-firing tracking projectiles).

That's amusing.

For antimatter-firing guns, consider that the guns could have a magnetic aiming system which is tweaked on the fly by the weapons computer or circuitry in the guns themselves, to send the antimatter stream towards a particular direction as it is emerging from the gun. Similar things would be...

I don't follow your logic. If vsync is on, you won't be able to get fps higher than your 'refresh rate', which is likely 60 hz. If it isn't on, I'm not really sure what benefit you're supposed to get from getting the game to update the graphics 6 or 7 times faster than the display can update...

Core drilling won't be a problem anymore as soon as the the hitpoint / damage system that Calbiri talked about in the Feb. FAQ is implemented, if that's still in development. If you've listened to (or watched) that, you know that core drilling won't kill ships anymore and instead you'll have to...

Have you thought about how this would impact fighters, harvesters, and other small ships? Turrets are also problematic because of the giant hole in the turret aiming coverage in the 'up' direction, but that isn't a problem with your proposal so much as a problem with turrets as they are now.

Personally, I have 3, ODST, Reach, and 4, but none of the map DLC, excepting 3 because ODST's multiplayer is 3's multiplayer with all of the maps and shit. Although I bought it for the plot because I'm kind of crazy like that. * also have 2, and played 1 on PC Of course, I'm not in any of your...

I'm just completely baffled.

I'm hoping the thrust equation gets fixed / changed back. My (non-fighter-sized) ships keep going to plaid when I tap a movement key.

If you're planning to attack something that will so overpower any shields you can mount that you might as well omit them, then perhaps it would be efficient to try to add power tanks to fuel a higher DPS, and launch from a cloaked carrier or try to approach out of line of sight of any turrets...

I just tested it by firing a single 9-block D1000 and then a single 9-block SD-BB at a faction module. Neither did any damage to it. Both show their stats as 150 damage.

If that was the case, who would be aiming them at the enemy? And if they were being aimed already, why weren't they being fired already?

It's not possible to send a constant signal or toggle them instead of pulsing them?

If you need more than 1 million e/s regen to run the ship and all its turrets, it'll be more efficient to give each turret its own power generator system anyways, just to run itself without having to rely on the ship's power.

What makes you think they have better stats?

Well, if we're being honest, all the missiles are slow and weak - they're just equally slow and weak. ;)

Slow and weak? Their stats are exactly the same as the other missiles... The real problem with them is that (last time I tried it... which was probably 10 months ago, so it may have changed) locking onto anything moving was impossible.

I believe this is because when you are docked, it updates the mass on the station or ship you are docked to instead... I could be remembering wrong, but don't stations show as having no mass normally?

Ah. Thanks for the info.
