      how do you guys make your ships look good and function well?

      For most of those ships though, it's just colour variation. Stuff that looks like greebling, if you peel it away, is actually the shape of the hull and you'll find systems directly underneath. Where as true greebling, when peeled away, is found to be added as decoration for the most part...

      Whoa, you need to get that block on the right checked out. Some serious disease going on there. XD

      Ship Classification

      May as well just leave it at titan. :P There's got to be a limit somewhere. :P Else someone will go, "I call this ship a Gargantuan, with 2 million mass. And I'm building my super Gargantuan..." XD

      how do you guys make your ships look good and function well?

      And to build upon Panpiper's point, wedging (wedges, tetras, heptas, corners) can allow you to not only make your ship look prettier, it can also allow you to create more internal space. Might only be a few extra blocks, but sometimes that is all you need. And it also depends on the ship...

      Question about sectors and systems

      Because most people simply make the default sector size bigger, instead of asking why couldn't we change the number of cubes in the bigger cube. :P

      Why don't we use Gaussian distribution for weapon dispersion.

      The thing is, no one really wants the game to be ultra-realistic. More realism means your pilots die when your ship turns because physics dictates an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion. Your head sits on the end of a relatively flimsy neck...

      Might want to try a different image hosting service. Imgur is a decent choice. EDIT: And I notice that your first images are Imgur. Might wish to check if the links are to a gallery instead of a specific image.

      GS-02-Cougar 1.0 2015-09-26

      Built upon the same frame as the GS-01-Tiger, the Cougar was made to be a harasser. Sporting quad, rapid-fire ion cannons, the Cougar shreds through shields like their Earth-bound namesakes shred through small mammals. Her twin lock-on missile systems help her finish off targets once their...

      GS-01-Tiger 1.0 2015-09-26

      The GS-01-Tiger is Gascor's first offering. A light fighter with a 33% overdrive and twin cannons capable of penetrating 2.5 meters of advanced armor, the Tiger is a good interceptor. Twin lock-on missiles give the Tiger fire-and-forget capability without the dangers of friendly fire. [Note...

      Trade party restocking player shop...

      As I said up a bit, it would not be difficult for the trader restock feature to only restock items that are high volume or almost out of stock. So it wouldn't bring cannon computers if you still have 300 in stock. And do you really think that Schema wouldn't include some sort of configuration...

      Are rockets UP?

      Pirates are quite easily taken out by missiles, as are new players with either little understanding of game mechanics, or those who've not yet gathered the resources to build effective point defense.

      Trade party restocking player shop...

      It wouldn't be too difficult to have the trading guild drop off things that were in high demand. Which would make sense. And at that point, the prices could be recalculated too.

      Mass Changes, why haven't other adjustments happened?

      And how long does it take to get the resources to create an auto miner that can eat planets while you afk? Judging from my room mates survival server, a few hours, longer if you're lackadaisical about it. Judging from the half million advanced armor I've got? Cheap as chips. And yeah, I've...

      Have you guys tried the light rods instead of lights or crystals??? Normally you can see the crystals and lights through ice, even if just barely. Light rods don't even show through the ice... and you don't need a whole wall of them! That's just one line of black rod lights. If I remove a...

      Mass Changes, why haven't other adjustments happened?

      Oh I think things do need to be balanced, because almost every kind of ship gets gimped in some way. As some have said, standard armor is rarely considered: go light and fast, or big and bulky, or go home. Big ships need to be so big, and then bigger again to get the effects, while small ships...
