      Follow along and build your own X-Wing

      There are a lot of cases I can think of where boresight fire like that would be really, really useful.

      Have AI ships capable of doing trades

      If they can't use jump drives, then they should at least be able to make use of warpgates. :|

      Door breacher and Invading ships IDEA!

      This isn't even in the right forum section.

      is Beam+Beam Combo broken?

      No, it wouldn't. Render range has nothing to do with it.

      Fireside Chat with Nuclear Doughnut, Smoke, and Comr4de (SATURDAYS AT 9PM GMT-7)

      Sorry about the shitty mic quality on my end. I wasn't aware that the static was as bad as it was. My mic cord was apparently looped around itself and caught a lot of interference from my room and my downstairs neighbor's room.

      (Bigger stuff = better) => how this can actually NERF big ships.

      Basically, you're proposing to turn the game away from any remote concept of piloting skill in favor of dice rolls and even more extreme stat minmaxing due to the numbers game players will be stuck with. Yeah.

      Swampstone (lilFishy) removed from Thryn Monarchy for violation of basic concept of civility.

      is Beam+Beam Combo broken?

      It has to do with rendering and block seams, I think - planet cores are solid meshes, which is why they're a guaranteed hit. I'm thinking that beam hit detection may be clientside.

      is Beam+Beam Combo broken?

      It's not something that can be fixed by config stuff. Your client needs to register the cursor as being over a block to make a hit, I think. Something weird like that. Gets screwed over by chunk loading, rendering, block seams, something. Not sure what exactly.

      Effective Missile Point Defense?

      Right now, the only way to effectively use point defense turrets is not to have big and good turrets, but to have dozens, or even hundreds of small ones. The way turret inaccuracy works means that more outputs isn't better - more individual objects aiming is.

      Neutral Faction News Thread

      "The Deathbrick Makers" would suffice. There were a few others who did that stuff before he came around. Unimatrix Zero, I think, and more (though they get credit for at least using borg terminology, even though they didn't do extreme greebling). Joel is just the one that pisses the most people...

      Neutral Faction News Thread

      At this point, any fighting that Thryn gets involved in is just agreed upon shenanigans and scheduled fights. Most of us just don't bother logging in, since there's pretty much nothing to do. I'd say that it's a very, very weak hostility between Thryn and CR, with considerably higher tension on...

      Implement a REAL fix for bug #1178

      Multiple people *have* been saying it. For almost a year.

      Implement a REAL fix for bug #1178

      The majority also don't use Damage Pulse, Push Pulse, Astrotech Beams, Shield Drain, Shield Supply, Power Supply, Power Drain, or any other similar systems. Does this mean we should totally ignore their existence?

      -Odium Pact- Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum.

      3k mass vs. something in the neighborhood of 20k. Unless you had absolutely zero shielding or thrust, it's not happening.

      -Odium Pact- Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum.

      There was nothing "Immediate" about his shields dropping, and his claim long before you made this post was that you personally jumped.

      -Odium Pact- Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum.

      Not the reports I got. You guys were in tiny ships, and the Rockhopper has something in the neighborhood of 3mil shields.
