If you feel like it would be worth a suggestion, feel free to do so.

I though fights where you look at your opponent's shields being dropped little by little were boring. Everytime i say that weapons should be scaling like the defensive systems i got this answer. It's legitimate here to ask it again.

Putting a lot of useless and weightless blocs. ;-) Though you can divide the mass by the bloc count. A low ratio mean many cheap blocs, resulting in a not so efficient reactor while the heavy one come with a good reactor. But atthe cost of mass, aka thrusts.

Do you really need to shield what can't be hit ? Any spaghetti ships could be built with no shields at all, they wouldn't even bother this loss. Just do it yourself, you have already all of the materials to build one yourself and shoot at it to understand how stupid that is.

If everything is linear nothing will prevent me from building bigger than you, because linear means more blocs means more damage/shield/thrusts and so on. I'll preach for my old argument and look like an old geezer but everything should be based on the same fomula and the same logarithmic curve...

Past certain points AI is as accurate as you trying to shoot with the screen turned off. Except if there has been improvements on the AI that i'm not aware of.

Too bad AI is too dumb to be a real threat to anyone.

Due to their nature, cannons are easy to dodge. Quick test, spawn some cannons pirates and then strafe left/right up/down and so on with a fast vessel. You'll soon understand why they're not that much used anymore. Beams are hitscan weapons, so better to hit but they still depend on the AI and...

Not blind, but from experience you know. If you don't have this experience then you can try it pretty easily on a solo world. Basically the AI will be accurate as long as you'll be in it's accuracy range, the range of the weapon, also if the target is big enough from the AI core and doesn't fly...

This depends a lot on the settings of the server you are on, the lag and the speed of the target as well as the target itself. That can't be done.

Sorry i build vertical ships and i barrell roll every time someone try to shoot the tips of the ship i'm flying. Something using convex hull might be the key. As long as the penalties are not too harsh to allow to build in any shape.

If that is okay for you and Schine then stays with the dev build like it is currently. I got nothing to add to that.

You're just contradicting yourself here. Arrow shape ship sucks, that's just it and there is nothing wrong about admiting you're wrong. You're just bending my words to match your opinion here. Nothing in the systems blocs is efficient in this or that shape, except power. You can make a ball of...

Not exactly if i want to be more precise. Every types of shapes have their pros and cons, some have more cons than pros or the invert and that is up to the builder to choose wich one. For example a vertical ship use it's vertical axis as lenght, resulting in a really good turning rate compared...

Just do it then if that's so broken. Build a spheric or a cubic ship and you'll get rekt by any serious pvp player. Cubes and sphere are just big giant practice targets for anyone with a brain & decent ship.

Presuming doesn't mean that it will be the case of everyone.

Using the new one would be a waste of time as you would probably need to refit in like 3 days. At least i hope that numbers aren't definitive at all. Not to mention the stability of the dev builds that could make you loose your build. While if you simply need to move your hull around a bit...

Who said it was alpha weapons ?

You're a pretty rare thing Atra.

Because that is the shape you're forced to build with the current rules. Forcing to have far away from your reactor the stabilizers, giving you two possibilities. Either a coat of stabilizers all around the reactor but far away with others blocs between. For example of a sphere it would be one...
