      New cannon/explosive mechanics

      Cannon/Explosive and Beam/Explosive are supposed to do something like this, except with the penetrating explosion effect that they have already. Explosive Effect is supposed to provide up to a 10 meter blast radius. It doesn't because schema has hardcoded it to be limited to 1 meter blast...

      (A) simple solution to the "problem" of docked hull...

      Docked hulls that don't share shields 100% are the single best way of completely mitigating any and all beam damage and ion weapon (particularly cannon) damage. Your suggestion would make the problem of ships with docked hulls being almost immortal even worse. If shields were shared completely...

      General weapon balance suggestion

      The underhull turret in that picture is the size it takes to do enough damage to reliably break one adv. armor block and a handful of system blocks behind it with each of two bullets. That's not a lot of damage these days, since people have finally started using thicker armor. I appreciate that...

      How do you build a jump ship to permit fast galactic travel, without chain drives?

      Playing on a server with larger jumpdrive ranges. Or not telling the truth. The only way to go faster than jumpdrives that charge faster than their animations end without using chaindrives is to combine them with wormhole slingshotting or to use wormholes and warpgates.

      Imperial Light Cruiser 2016-12-06

      The Imperial Light Cruiser, based on the Arquitens Light Cruiser hull, is a small patrol vessel generally reserved for snagging smugglers and enforcing tariffs on merchant vessels. It's not particularly useful for full-on war when compared to other Imperial vessels (such as the Imperial I Star...

      How are you supposed to make money early game? (single player)

      Aux Power & Gigantism

      Regardless of how much more effective fleets of smaller ships are, Bobby AI has difficulty doing the most simple of tasks at the moment, so any fleet capable of effectively taking down someone's 30 million block wtfnaught (likely built with all of their resources collected over six months or...

      Dev Blog : October 21st 2016

      It seems that beams also don't reliably deduct SHP when damaging systems blocks in all circumstances. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it might be that blocks destroyed by beams' penetration don't register as having been removed for some reason or another.

      The Union of Intergalactic States

      AFAIK there's nothing that would encourage the factions involved to join the same server together. Pretty sure it's nothing like that at all.

      The Union of Intergalactic States

      Just asked Nauv. Found the CoK PM is still intact and I still have access to it after almost two years. TE left after our investigations proved Rezerian to be the traitor. There had previously been some question as to whether TE was affiliated at all with Odium at the time, on account of TE...

      The Union of Intergalactic States

      I remember distinctly that Nauvran left of his own accord - but now that you've jogged my memory, I think that perhaps he left after we did a bit of further investigation and determined that he was not a spy, which would have happened after we cut his access to the main chat room. I'll ask him -...

      The Union of Intergalactic States

      Nope, they weren't kicked out. Nauvran withdrew from the whole thing himself after CoK decided it was a good idea to actually listen to Blackhawk's public statement. N.O. fell apart because of member groups being too closely entangled via Skype groups. We had a case of one member of a faction...

      The Union of Intergalactic States

      Too many people in it weren't team players. Linwe ran off solo with the ship that was being built by Wildcat and CynicalCatalyst as a fleet's tank vessel, TE left because of CoK's internal issues caused by spies, Thryn just sorta sat there continuing trying to build up its own fleet with totally...

      How Do I calculate power used by weapon effects?

      Energy usage is generally 10 per 1 base damage - or, rather, 100 per second per block average. Multiply by reload time to get base energy consumption per shot. For every extra output, add +10% base energy consumption. For instance, a cannon that deals 10,000 damage will take 100,000 energy to...

      Blood and Steel Season 3

      Looks like day 2 might end up being pretty packed if the move is approved. I, personally, need to have one day totally clear so I can work with my family on some projects - so leave me where I am if the schedule starts shifting around, eh?

      Blood and Steel Season 3

      Good~ <3 I don't know who they are, but we've seen a lot of really, really impressive unknowns come out in the past couple tournaments. Herr Colonel wasn't that well known before he curbstomped everybody last time.

      I hope the three unknowns on day 2 are a good challenge for everyone. :D

      I am back, what has changed ? (:

      Nothing overly important changed. Need to refit your ships to a minimal degree but that's it.
