Well, this will come back to bite you in the arse. Enjoy getting it off your chest before there are any other posts.

The smallest one I managed to find was the Star Trek, Klingon Empire, B\'rel Class, 109 metres. I think valid ships need to have the text next to them. Some of them have poor image editing/cropping so there appear to be specks around some ships, such as above the text of the Praetor-II Class...

My advice would be to start with a small ship and gradually progress to larger sizes. There are quite a few things that you can run away with and later end up kicking yourself once you find out you need to re-fit your entire ship. Power generation being a very important one, make sure you know...

The 1,000,000 e/sec is something you can\'t do anything about, it\'s just there, it exists. There\'s no reason to break into reactor building once you hit it. Just keep building out a single power grouping into the 3 dimensions as far as you can, and then when you can\'t extend it further...

Just to note, it says in the updates that the Tardis is 0.25 and may be in Red Dwarf or anywhere else on the image. In other words, you won\'t be able to distinguish where it is as it\'s hasn\'t been able to draw a single pixel. Good luck to anyone hunting for it.

That\'s how the game is programmed, after 1,000,000 e/sec, the amount you gain decreases. Also, you\'re far better off making one large reactor instead of multiple small ones.

You defined ratios, and then called them fractions; there was no watering down. If you said they were like fractions, fair enough, but you mis-represented an entire mathematical concept when educating someone. P.S. Aside from seeming slightly insane with your comparison, you should choose only...

Sorry for being pedantic, but since you\'re explaining them for someone else\'s knowledge I have to say, those are RATIOs. They do work the same way as fractions do though for all intents and purposes here. Ratios are generally used when you\'re comparing two different things to each other...

I can see you\'ve gone to great efforts with writing up this post. You are on the right track thinking of gameplay first. However, you should try to make specific suggestions about how things should work, rather than comment that things don\'t work well; provide an alternative. It will...

Oh god, why are you pulling out differentiation and integration? It\'s only a percentage problem. You\'re making this ten times more complex than what you\'re trying to defend. At any tick through the game loop, with a linear calculation of shield regeneration, it will be as simple as...

This is pretty much beyond normal compliments like \"Ooh, nice ship!\". I really hope you have a job where you earn money from doing stuff like this...

Sure, but that has nothing to do with the price of cheese in my country, so what\'s your point? Let\'s try to keep the discussion linked to the actual content perhaps? Try comparing shielding methods with other shielding methods. Because you can either have one or the other, and the...

Is there any moment when there\'s no recharge at 0%? Since the shield level doesn\'t contribute to anything other than preventing hull damage until it\'s spent, there\'s no real need for them to have a complex algorithm for recharging, they might as well be linear and save on processing? At the...

I doubt this is a space station glitch for a start! Check your keybindings for your roll keys, make sure they are not being pressed, stuck down, or even a duplicate key of something else that you may be pressing.

Why are you replying to my post? After all the threads on power generation that you\'ve nitpicked something out of my post to have a go at, why do you still keep doing it? I was making the point that a single line of power blocks is more efficient per block than the number of blocks in a...

In reality, it\'s all about the size of your ship. To get the most power for the least number of blocks used, the best way is to place them is all in one single long line. But if you don\'t want a stick ship, you can look into ways of making the power regeneration more compact. This is also...

I think you\'re thinking too deeply about this. The game is very early in development, and just having any ship as the starter pirate ship is fine. Being asymmetrical is also a good thing. I believe the Isanth was designed by a player and managed to work its way into the game. It\'s a...

Oh yeah, 1,000,000 e/sec I think it was, there\'s an interesting thread on that here: http://star-made.org/content/challenge-smallest-1000000-powers-reactor I believe the smallest for 1,000,000 e/sec is a cube of 23x23x23, Brawndoolz managed to get 1,039,875.9 e/sec out of his which is the most...

50x50x50 & 100x100x100 would take an insane amount of time. I remember playing with some 10x10x10 designs and them taking around an hour to do by which time I was well fed up. I don\'t know if it\'s been changed, but I remember there was a limit on the maximum amount of e/sec before it started...

Actually, dimensions do play a part when considering rotation. Mass does too. If you remember from school level maths and/or physics, there are things called moments. To calculate a moment, you multiply the force together with it\'s perpendicular distance from the centre of the rotation. Watch...
