In the case that using the moment of inertia of every single block (I=I1+I2+I3+.......+I8993454893) requires too much computing power, it might be better to simply use to just use the point of inertia at the center of mass and to simply use the total mass of the ship. Although this might not be...

I can't even tell how many times oxygen has been suggested anymore... I agree that the oxygen on planets part would be pretty interesting, though. As for the oxygen on ships, there's a crapton of threads already discussing this (most of them are on the old site, that's probably why you didn't...

The best solution is actually to just apply real life angular dynamics, which take dimensions AND mass distribution into account...

Applying real life angular dynamics to ships = win. The only thing I'm concerned about is how much this would affect performance.

Just press the button, you know you want to ;)

I don't believe so, lemme chek!

How is that EVEN SLIGHTLY related to this thread's topic?!?!?! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- On topic: I would most likely be the bad guy in that story, the entity doing EVERYTHING possible to blow up the D.C ASDFGASD >: ( But alas, the...

Amazing! I'm really happy that you adapted the design to your ship :D . And I'll also try out the smaller arrays like you suggested! I have yet to test that out but I'm pretty sure that it will be a major weakness. However, the ship mounting them has to sacrifice some firepower for the more...

EDIT: Upgraded version installed on a ship (just to show what it actually looks like on a ship, this isn't in the download. Read the "edit" below to see what's different): The activator I press at the start is just there for the gif, it's not part of the rack you'll get with the download...

@Thadius Faran I just uploaded the drone rack. Here's the link: http://starmadedock.net/content/drone-rack.1376/ (still awaiting moderation at the time of this post. For anyone reading this and that found the rack interesting, please rate and leave a comment :D

Sweet!!!

Hell yes!!! I already made point defense turret to defend against missiles :D

Pffff, "contract". If you still have the blueprints use them!

The thing that makes the drones effective is their small target profile, numbers and usage of the low block count bonuses. Increasing their size would significantly lower their effectiveness I believe. As for the turrets I actually have an other drone that would fit in the same space that's...

A beam anti-missile PD system you say?

I hope that you gave kupu the arrrty[llery] medal :p

Wrong forum section..... Apart from that, It would require a metric f*ckton of content to be added to the game (concerning what would be found on the other side). But it would be a nice very addition and I'm pretty sure that the devs planed something similar :p

Hah, even the forum is telling me that I'm addicted now

Yes, that the main inconvenient (I'll add it to the main post). It can be somewhat mitigated by placing the activator closest to the core or using a second client (or friend) to do it. Neonsturn had an excellent idea which may make that unnecessary and would only require you to press a single...

Ejecting the rack and having the drones automatically eject from it would be totally doable (and awesome), but the drone rack would have a high chance of getting damaged by the enemy in the process, which could potentially compromise the entire launch if logic gets hit... I do have the majority...
