Uhm, are you perhaps in the wrong thread? 'cause no one posting in this thread has the ability to impose anything on you or anyone else.

It is practically impossible to have a standard ship classification. Someone will always be looking for a way to thwart any sort of classification scheme. History shows us this with the Washington and London naval treaties. Such classification systems only really work on a per server basis...

I've seen pirate stations shooting down missiles, though I can't say if they were specifically shooting the missiles, however the station was shooting at me. Is it possible that you are launching missiles into the pirate station's cannon fire?

Hot damn... O.O

True, but I'm arguing with the original post in mind. From the OP's suggestion, you'd need a massive salvager to be able to start slurping off blocks AND you have to have down their shields. So you are not a dedicated salvager if you have weapons big enough to deal with a serious threat, nor...

Once more, this doesn't invalidate my point: With all things being equal, the dedicated warship will beat a non-dedicated one. You want to shove a salvager onto your ship because you have five blocks worth of space left? That's fine. But personally I'd rather have a dedicated salvager that I...

True. But some folks like to actually do the fighting, instead of the game fighting itself.

Okay, so I have finally worked up the courage to start displaying the things I create. They pale in comparison to the great stuff found throughout this board though. I will try to build small ships that punch above their weight. Try being the key, operative term. :D

A red giant is also in the neighbourhood. I did not want to get closer. The thing is HUGE, but they call them giants for a reason.

Well, everyone's is still better than mine. :P They are typical big engines on a small fighter...

Woops, completely missed that. :P

I thought as much, but had to ask on the off chance I was missing something. Thanks, keptick. :)

I am looking at the wormholes scattered about the galaxy and universe, and I am seeing some that are different colours, some are brown/gold, others are reddish. Is there any meaning to the colours?

Started exploring farther away from the home system. Found a binary star system. :) I sat here a while...

Well, if you put some blocks of advanced armor, you might have something to recover. ;) But thanks again. :) My fighters are easily configured to take multiple warheads into battle. :) A good opening salvo followed up by missiles and cannon fire.

Well, I did some testing earlier today. Learned a few things, had some successes. First, never touch the warhead with your ship. Leave at least one block of distance between the warhead and your ship. Accidentally moved JUST as I launched, pointy part of my fighter tapped the warhead, BOOM...

And it is still likely to be a no. It's like trying to use a bandaid as a weapon. :P By quickly ripping it off the person's arm.

What is the new Battleship's name?

Speed too. Also, maybe weapon information, strength, range, etc. There's room for all kinds of information to be displayed.

Then colour me very excited for your future endeavours. ;) :D
