*joking* Not brilliant - darkened :D Elit3: Thanks for your reply. I think OP should not be able to delete posts. People may double-post threads of others which they don't like just to be able to gain mod rights. This is too abuse-able and bad enough that peoples already rage if mods silently...

I like "~ite" for cristals and "~ium" for minerals, but would also like "~gen" for elements/minerals. But the names are not my favs. I like something like "Dilizium", "Naquadrium", "Diligen", "Naquagen" or just "Yelgen", "Bluegen", ...

I like the idea behind the OP. But I think evasion is the important factor, less acceleration (for combat) Evasion by turning = shipSpeed * sin(turningAngle) Evasion by strafe and velocity changes = (delta(v1, v2) / shipSize) * reactionTime=(network lag, newly-created-projectile speed, human/AI...

I think we have different weights per block type. We sum the number of blocks. We have a listing of how often blocks are used while buying ships. How hard can it be to sum different masses? I think you should not be able to build a ship with top speed perma-cloak/jam, shields and AMCs at once...

You could build just more of them then. We need to limit salvage drones per player. I think economy should be limited by what players can pick up and collectables should be distant enough to make experienced players not have a very huge advantage over average players. The game should focus on...

I usually want to give likes when I see good posts. But sometimes I forget... Sometimes I like one part but not the other. If I would give a like, peoples may get it wrong and think I like both parts. So I have to like one part with a post, not the like feature. Finally, the more likes you...

Sometimes I tried to make an everlasting (vs Isanth-VI) shield. I disabled docking checks and docked ships above each other. Each 1 block was another ship with 2000 shield (about 6 blocks and 1 power) The problems were that I couldn't shoot through them, thus had to build AMC pipes around my...

With the current threads the OP may should be able to make some posts less visible (a dark layer above it or 50% (visual) transparency) to stop posts distracting from the thread-topic with his like, highlight posts which fit to the topic very well (get something like a yellow arrow pointing to...

What if admins make 3 single warnings on the same user? In the "http://zero-k.info"-Forum, posts with more than 5 dislikes and no like at all will collapse into a "Post below threshold" line between other posts. If it is clear that you should only dislike (similar to report?) posts which...

Docking-box: a limit on size a way to make sure, two things dock not at the same mother-ship place to make calculations easier. ... Anti-clipping-code: 3DArray/Linked-List/Whatever xy[x,y] = { 0: lowest-z-block's z, 1: highest-z-block's z } Same for xz[x, z] = { min + max y } and for yz[y, z]...

Worst thing about missiles is, that power, thrust and other stuff on sufficiently large ships is too redundant, thus not encouraging killing anything but the core with missiles. AMC array breaks into two parts? Now you got even more fire-power! (although for more e/dps because more weapons on...

Biggest objects on top. Docked objects or objects inside another indented or in a second column or tree-style? Enemies first? ...

Will we get a list a wiki of what will definitively not be added? How are players supposed to play with economy, faction warfare/politics, ... - is there any ideal? When will the wiki get updated? Admin commands are outdated - no give_laser_weapon or give_metaitem helmet in official wiki...

I would like objects which have BBs to build up BB potential. 1 minute since first BB placement = 1 block per second. 1 minute without BB = -1 block per second. If player leaves the sector, thus the sector unloads from memory: bbPotential = (( (NOW - last.timestamp) * (has BB & +1 | -1) +...

Personally, I like the idea of having ancient ships from previous builds with special properties.

Who needs weapons if you can either run away or die to a tiny battle-cube, medium-fighter? It also depends on how accurate your FTL drive is. If it puts you into the middle of a sector, you also need sublight to get to the shop. I think the best combo would be a FTL ship without or just a few...

Yes, please change the title to "The Drug-Forum" :D

You can also try to make multi-part ships instead of single bigger ones. Basically they are ships with 2/4 huge missing boxes in their hull for ships (not turrets). Shields give 800, 400, 400, 300, 300, ... shield points and slowly decrease to 1 per new block. dividing them to a left docked...

I like the second. Why should Iron be red and Aluminium be white rather than silver? That makes no sense. Also I think it would be weird if we make a Hardened Black Hull out of a Cubatom which is made of Aluminium for example. Blugen, Yelgen, Redgen may sound childish, but are not only easy to...

lol. In sun sectors the light is brighter ofc. In sun sectors 1 solar-panel should be cost-efficient. Though cooling in space is not very fast. Plants are about 1.5 to 3 times as efficient human created solar-panels as of 2012. Maybe we can in future use chemical energy created with molecules...
