That's not a new thing :P. No, what I invented is miniature permastun drones that are very hard to shoot down ^_^

@Gerion The pulse is activated by logic. There's also a disintegrator inside the ship making it so that the AI tries to ram the enemy ship. I've also added a defensive push system tied to a clock in order to overcome the AI's artificial speed and acceleration limits (and the fact that it decides...

UPDATE #18: new bridge It's pretty self explanatory, I won't be adding any more details to it because I already find it really nice with just the streamlined shape. I feel that details could spoil it. As always, feedback is appreciated :)

You should ask if non-original designs are accepted first :P

I really like the fact that glass glows when ice crystals are in proximity!

This is the most minimal I could make (Notice the defensive push modules @Thalanor ) It's equipped with a single rapid fire pulse block. It Ugly as hell, but it works (and fits in a single block dock). Edit: This is the most compact ok looking stun drone that I managed to make. Of course, the...

The SkoomDrone-mini™ is now ready for testing! This version is meant to be carried on smaller, corvette sized ships. I really had to compress and optimize the shit out of everything to make it so small :p (I made multiple improvements to the system at the same time). May or may not have twice...

Very nice stuff! The only thing I'm NOT nostalgic of is the horrible old standard hull textures :P

If that was the case then using beam as a slave would have absolutely no downside. All slave weapons trade something for a benefit (for example, rapid fire trades damage per shot with rate of fire). Having longer range must be traded with something else, which is damage.

That's why I'm not giving the trigger to Bobby :P

There actually isn't, I just noticed that there's a little note at the end of the charts saying that thrust is just there for comparison purpose and that it is't actually bound by the ratio things like systems.

It will already completely disable AI ships since they basically can't turn or do other stuff. What I'm talking about is ALREADY in the game, I'm just asking for a name change and for the practically nonexistent push ability to be removed.

Well, there's a point where maintaining a higher thrust/weight ratio is simply impossible due to the diminutive nature of power generation. However, 10% seems quite low... Edit: It says that it's just for comparison purposes at the bottom of the chart :P

Well yea, I wouldn't use it on a ship that has drones. Just as a little something to use against drones.

Well, by using multiple swarm missile arrays fired by logic with a delay between each could theoretically be really effective. By timing it so that a new volley launches as soon as the old one hits, it could decimate drone swarms (since the missiles would go after drones that are alive). Ok...

The push pulse already has an "emp" feature implemented. It basically disables the steering of ships hit by the pulse. Now, I suggest to remove the incredibly weak push ability from the pulse and simply renaming it to "emp pulse" (or stun pulse if you prefer). This change would be extremely...

I'm not the one that would get targeted by evil drones ;) @Thalanor

The Skoomseeker: Fully tested (thanks to @MrFURB), it works a bit too well. You see, I can't even get back in to deactivate it since the push pulse pushes me away from the drone... The only problem I have is the initial activation of the logic, but I have a solution for that! Oh, acceleration...

It already knows that :P . Oh, I didn't mention that I was an AI?

A drone would never turn against a much bigger half-drone :P And I could manually kill it by hopping into a turret, or just fly out and blast it with a rocket launcher I guess XD
