What about rather than altering hull, instead altering and making a new material, Plating. Plating has 0.01 Mass, 0% armor protection and 5 hitpoints. This is the bare basics of the materials that might coat a ship to protect the electronics from space dust in roleplaying terms. This will not...

Sell Lv5 ores, buy lv 4 ores. Lv 5 breaks down to 10x Lv 4, though if you sell a lv5 your can buy 100x Lv4s.

I hope you find time to not just look her over but give her a test drive. You will be surprised at the low construction cost for how effective she is.

After this all we need is a docking \'coordinator\' block so Bobby AI, when not enganged, will return to, given it has signal range, and dock at the first avaliable docking unit.

Meh, this runs both ways. An AMC can be very powerful for small ships but also for larger ships. Even with poor aiming turrets, shotgun arrays rather than pinpoint arrays blanket space with AM fire which is where their true danger shows up.

They will refuse to dock their ships properly and QQ when something happens? Also as for accelleration, a capital class can accellerate at the same rate a frigate can, it all depends on the thrust mass ratio. When you wish to dock, have the docking area lined with smaller docking ares where...

Stealth is the real OP thing if you learn and master its fickle balancing. Turrets/AI don\'t know how to handle you, inexperienced combat pilots won\'t understand what\'s going on as nothing is on their overview let alone they litterally see nothing when they go into build move and do a 360 check.

What is your \'fighter\'s\' Mass, or at least Mass-class according to the Nameless scale?

What madness are you talking about? You mean design things as honest tanks and not paintings?! What next, you are going to suggest building hangers of Bobby AI fighters to distract/take out enemy fighters when swarmed? Madness I say, Madness!

Larger ship shield capacity also got buffed by 300%, remember? Either way, you said missiles ignore shields, if that was true, this update did not buff smaller ships.

Hardened hull is quickly eaten up by those to segment their arrays. Base Hardened hull only has a effective HP pool of 400, when you have even five layers that is 2000. Ships with arrays doing over 800 damage still only break a block at a time, ships with two arrays doing 400 damage each will...

Would it not also come down to what kind of turrets are being used and if the capital ship is standing still? I personally use 35x18x14 Bobby controled shotgun turrets for station and capital ship defense. If the capital ship has significant thrust it would force the Ravens to fly in more...

I use a 5x5x4 target dummy block. Five 1x5 strips of power and the rest as shielding. I was firing 100, 200 and 300 dmg missiles at it, nothing was damaged. Try it in your single player and see if you get similar results.

There is a video of such and the Ravens lose, wouldn\'t people automatically say that it doesn\'t prove anything other than even bad pilots could fly Ravens?

Missiles do not ignore shields. What gave you the idea that they did?

Option A Add in a mechanic of penetration. Each time damage passes through a block to the block behind it, the block behind it suffers only 2/3 or 1/2 of the damage of the block before it. Option B Increase the explosion\'s surface area but reduce the depth a missile can effect. Ex...

Err.. I guess I was wrong. I just redid a few tests now and what you said was true. Making a larger testing area also showed that the surface was hit and took damage but also every block under that hull also took damage. I currently only tested for 5 blocks deep will continue testing.

Missiles simply remove blocks, they don\'t need to overcome the hull\'s protection, only AMC does from what I\'ve seen in tests on unshielded target dummies.

Wouldn\'t missiles still respond with, \'Lol, BOOM!\' and remove large spheres of hull?

Even if they get alot of blocks, so what? You can use slavage cannons on a station and get them for free currently. If you charge them for using a build block it will reinforce the idea of slavaging it the normal way. What\'s wrong with this idea?
