      What happened to the PvP scene?

      It's not a complaint. It's a statement. I personally only have problems with people interrupting my business repeatedly within a short interval after I should have been able to totally halt their attack. Endless harassment over a long period of time due to the inability to shut down their...

      What happened to the PvP scene?

      Of course. But the endless harassment bit is detrimental to the game. If you're going to fight, then fight. If you're designed to be able to just go in and piss people off without actually taking damage, then do that. But there needed to be a counter to it, because otherwise the entire game was...

      What happened to the PvP scene?

      To be fair, most of the time I've been in combat, it's because someone *else* came out and attacked *me*. By doing so, they're giving me permission to destroy their entire ship, rather than allow them the chance to come out of it with only a couple blocks lost. Coming out and disrupting my...

      Open Letter to Lazarus Imperium Refugees V2

      I don't think the moderators are about to give you a list of that account's IP addresses due to NDA, but if you somehow get your hands on them, throttle them for me, will you? If they aren't one of your alt accounts, then there's someone trying to stir shit up, and I don't think any of us have...

      Open Letter to Lazarus Imperium Refugees V2

      Perhaps I misused the word "confirmed", but it very much appeared to be you considering the timeframe in which it appeared and the authority with which it spoke in the chat earlier when one of your banned subordinates came into chat earlier today to cause problems. FURB was present at the time...

      Block count is off

      All seems well to me. Both of your blueprints that you sent are the same, at 959 blocks and 95.9 mass, for me.

      What happened to the PvP scene?

      Any time a shit flinging war starts, the game loses players.

      Unfinished Paperwork

      We also need to update the Armor and Shields bits, because since the HP update came out, shields are less important and armor is far more useful. Weapons systems have been readjusted, too, so they have different uses than they used to. I'd be glad to discuss and contribute to the guide.

      Thryn has Pholo, technically :v

      What happened to the PvP scene?

      It has absolutely nothing to do with "wanting to be the bad guy" Big forum factions go out and shoot up servers all the time. There are just no major conflicts between major factions lately, because again, it gets too personal and people get upset over the shit flinging that inevitably ensues.

      The Thryn [Recruitment Limited]

      Making alts for the purpose of ban dodging is forbidden, as is responding to and liking your own posts with an alt.

      What happened to the PvP scene?

      It's closer to being the other way around. Warfare inevitably leads to faction politics bullshit, which in turn drives people away from combat. Whether you win or you lose a fight, someone always starts screaming about it in a most immature fashion after the fact, and won't shut up about it for...

      Ship Claim system, and Public faction join restriction.

      I never said create a new block, I said make the faction module less awful >_>

      Ship Claim system, and Public faction join restriction.

      Take the faction module concept, and expand it into a "Structure Ownership" block. A player may claim a ship or station as their own, so that no player at their rank or below it within their faction aside from themselves can access the ship. However, higher ranking players in the faction may...

      Repair reboot seriously is flawed

      You're able to place blocks and armor just fine without rebooting if you're damaged. However, if you add blocks to a damaged ship, you increase its maximum HP without increasing its current HP, and if you remove blocks from a damaged ship, you reduce its current HP without increasing its...

      Has Armor been Buffed?

      Dude, penetration depth is logarithm based. It's not linear. It DOES drop off. For the first few thousand damage per hit, you get more pen depth, and that rapidly starts dropping off as you do more and more damage. A 100 block machinegun will break 1 block per hit (10 per second), whereas a...

      Make heat-seeker missiles ignore astronauts

      Grasping at straws, mate. You're trying to make something do something that it's not specifically designated to do. "Heat Seeking" almost exclusively refers to "Infrared Homing", and it automatically targets anything of sufficient temperature to release a reasonable amount of infrared...

      Make heat-seeker missiles ignore astronauts

      Swarm missiles are the weapon of choice for serverside newbie capital pilots. You know, the guys that deserve to be boarded the most? :P Remember, guys, it's really hard to make a turret that works well, but really easy to slap down 10^3 bricks of missile tubes to hit things behind you. Swarm...
