Vulkan is a new tool that allows more raw access to the video card. It's possible for it to be better, but only after extensive work. A metaphor might be like. Open gl is buying a mostly built engine, and vulkan is buying all of the raw materials to build the engine.

It sounds kinda like lag. Have you tried making it into synchronous logic with ands and a single clock? Also there are ways to generate very fast clocks, but I believe they lag. Others can comment on that.

That's bypassing the trade offs of a large ship vs small ships. Big ships should not be manuverale. Is this just a comment on the number of blocks needed?

keptick , ToasterBorst, SkylordLuke can we get an implemented tag?

Probably, but even if you/still can it's good gameplay to have it blip out during cloak.

It should definitely be a setting, but there is one more issue before you transport out. A ship decloaks when you leave it.

It would be great for joystick controls but I come from keyboard land, so both?

I'm not quite sure how chairs are gonna work but I would love to have a pilot view as another option to build mode and flight mode. In pilot mode camera centers on the characters head then holding ctrl or alt would allow you to look around like a person, but then to still be able to fly by...

This might be OK for an isanth, but not much more. I'd probably make it wider and do cannon/cannon/explosive, or one of Lecic's combos.

I may actually attempt to join a server now!

I've been reading up on how deferred lighting works. You "should" be able to render many lights like that since you render per pixel instead of per light per vertex. The problem is just RAM and how you transfer the data to the graphics card from what I read. It's a pretty intense problem. I'd...

It depends, but any arbitrary limit might be odd for immersion, but if he's using more defered rendering you should be able to do many many lights. The problem becomes RAM actually.

Can you give us a usage case?

Whats considered normal? I routinely have sector updates in 100ms and 700ms

Unfortunately not yet. No dev build yet..

Still looks like awesome progress though! So excited!

I don't think it'll make them impractical just a bit harder to use.

I suppose failures is the wrong word, but as another developer its great to see funny stuff. I just played with creating all the shapes of starmade in Unity and allowing them to rotate. Boy did I have issues with textures. Things like that would be awesome!

You should have a thread of just failed dev pictures that are hilarious. I would love this.

This is a bad optimization because it promotes people not playing.
