And they could make it easier to modify your ships. It's not the ship. As for making your ship weaker, sure, if you only do PvP. It could put you at a disadvantage.

That's not an issue with the ships, it's an issue with the game not giving you a way to look inside easy. My here makes suggestions for tools that we need. One of them is a way to know what's inside our ship and where it's located, and easy ways for us to change stuff out.

Well, it's not just plopping down a giant cube. Sure, you can do that, and you'll have limitations on it because you won't have the coolant chambers or the conduits to shift the heat around. But that's a choice you can make. You can run hot, save space, take a risk. It's gone from how big...

Art can be perfectly functional in the game as it is. But what people seem to miss is that the person designing space art has different considerations than the person doing PvP when it comes to building a ship. Making art, or an RP ship, or a PvP ship, each has considerations, decisions to...

This is one of the things we get to discuss. :) What you've have asked is entirely possible to put in.

We're all in the same boat. Power, turrets, weapons, shields... every system will be impacted by the power change.

I agree. I think anything that can be done to alleviate the issue should be done before the power change happens. It's designed that way to give people choice. You can have fun building your combat monster doom cube, or you can have fun building space ship art, or you can have fun building...

The reason that ships are filled to the brim has two parts. The first part is that it is all about squeezing the most out of your ship, in PvP. If you have spaces, the guy you're fighting who doesn't have spaces has the advantage. Classic minmaxing. And that's absolutely fine. We can't make...

I realize that, but you seem to assume that the new power system is going to require more space to power current systems, which from what I am reading, this is not the case. I seriously doubt that they are going to handicap a fighter that way. I'm running on the assumption that to power...

Well, yes, that is the natural consequence, bigger ships will become easier to build and use. But they pay a penalty in having to have larger reactors, and larger heat zones. And if you haven't seen the outrage yet from PvPers, since now they'll have "rooms" that they'll have to fill with...

TOOLS WE NEED, Schine There are going to be a bunch of tools we're going to need if this is going to go smoothly. 1.) A way to see inside our ships without having to run around inside them, and pull of armor panels and the floorboards. An indicator of how many of each block we have, and where...

Which is exactly what power is right now, a limiting factor on what you can or cannot put into a ship. Except the new system will require LESS space than the current one. Since many systems will require less room, this is a direct buff to small ships, not a nerf.

Have you fully read the original post? They specifically said (and implied in some parts) that smaller ships will only require the core (implied) since their power requirements (and thus heat) are much less than the larger ships. Also other systems (weapons, shields, armor) will be scaled down...

First off, this power overhaul is still in the conception stage. The candelabra ship concept is similarly just an idea. We don't know what the final form of either idea will be. If this ship idea turns out to have merit, obviously it can dealt with before anything becomes finalized. People...

I love the look of your ships. XD They are awesome. Also, thanks again for using my containers. :D

Those are great looking ships. :) Love the fighter.

Okay, but you seem to be under the assumption that this new system will end up taking the same, or more, space than the current system. When it appears to be that the new system will take up less space, even with the "heat spaces" having to be free of system blocks.

... XD Really? Okay, so like, you're sailing along in one of your ships (excellently designed I might add) and a chandelier comes in from warp and pewpewpew starts. Are you really telling me that the FIRST target you hit after the shields are down ISN'T one of the dangly bits you know has a...

That was my thought intially: The devs speak of people being forced to build a certain way, annd they come up with a way which essentially forces us to build a certain way. But look at it more closely. They are giving us a way to have more power on bigger ships to power the pewpewpew and...

How does it encourage "chandelier" ships? Any hulls you've created so far could accommodate the reactor system they've outlined in the original post of this thread. Some you would have to change the internals or externals, possibly, but I am pretty sure most would fit. Are you suggesting that...
