Actually, hah, one more thing. Will the inner remote dohicky allow you to start the logic ticktock? I assume you have to start the logic first, and then make it undock, yeah? And I already have a few copies of the "missile" sitting around. As much as it would have taken me a while to puzzle...

Were any of the ships you lost docked? I've read that a few people have has their ships disappear after having docking/undocking issues. Ships being magically transported some distance away (2km) or so. Perhaps you could have a look around at that distance?

I've been playing for 2 years and still have stuff I haven't looked at. Thanks once more for answering my questions. :D

Are you familiar with the game 'Star Fleet Battles'? It's partially based on the TOS era of Star Trek. They have a battleship called Mars, which is essentially a Federation with one more engine. :D

I actually have another question. How do I "launch" the torpedo? I've built one, without the warhead, to test. It fires the pulse, but just sits there. I gave it a power module as you suggested. EDIT: Oop, nevermind, used a push pulse instead of pulse effect. Was able to get the warhead...

Is that the Franz Federation dreadnought? :eek::eek::eek::D:D:D

Would the idea work better with salvagers having slaved weapon computers over the salvager becoming a weapon itself?

Will salvagers be able to do damage to ships that still have armor? Y/N? How will armor affect salvager weapons? Do you have to break holes into the ship in order to slowly slurp out the contents? Or will that be prevented while the ship still has an armor HP bar? And you might have said...

So you're saying that armor would also prevent the salvager from working? They'd have to have 0 shields and 0 armor for it to work?

Very awesome. :) Any new technologies hidden inside her?

But the door is part of the ship, and not the fighters. The door (if you mean the blast door/plex door objects) is part of the torpedo, if you are planing to use it to protect the torpedo, right?

I am curious about the blast door idea. Technically the door block is still there when open, it lets people through.. but would it still be in the way, possibly preventing the warhead from hitting the target? Unless you're talking a rail door?

The salvager is not in the same realm as bad weapons. Bad weapons are still weapons. The salvager is a salvager, it does not need to be a weapon like it used to be. Edit: Also, what do you propose as a buff to give to armor since a salvager weapon would now be ignoring it?

The difference between the salvager and a 'bad' weapon, is that the salvager does it's job as a salvager just fine. The bad weapon can always be reworked or buffed to improve it. If you want the salvager to double as a bad weapon, are you suggesting that the bad weapons should also double as...

That doesn't invalidate the fact that all things being equal, the dedicated warship will beat the ship that isn't. If I have 100 blocks of weapon, and you have 50 blocks of the same weapon plus 50 blocks of salvager, I will out damage you, you will out salvage me. The reason why I was using...

No, it's not. You either want the salvager to double as a near useless weapon, when it'd be more useful in combat to spend that energy on any real weapon or defense system. OR you want to be able to salvage before the enemy is even dead yet. The former is eeeh, the later is a big NOPE. If I...

... Hey, lets just allow build blocks to be plunked down onto enemy ships in combat and save ALL the blocks. Sorry, it's still going to be a no.

Right, so what is the purpose of your idea then? If you have a ship that's half salvager and half something else, you're going to die to a dedicated warship anyways. So either take out a warship and fight, or take out a salvager and run from anything with guns. There's absolutely no point to...

Whenever you take a ship out of dock, you make a conscious decision about what to fly. With your idea, why would people use anything but giant salvager arrays? The most optimal weapon is the one that can do the most things. Salvagers would become the weapon of choice. Normally you have to...
