Wow, I am humbled and flattered :) The ship looks really awesome. I like your style!

I think that the current system is pretty solid already. But there is one thing that definitely needs fixing, there somehow needs to be a way to count blocks. I would suggest either some kind of build queue for factories (produce 3000 hull blocks, then 100 power capacitors, then stop) - this...

These beams look pretty parallel to me On a more serious note, I think the engines could use more depth. Other than that, I like it very much!

You probably explained it somewhere, but I'm missing it... what is the logic for? Does it fire the swarmers automatically?

FPS does now not drop below 30 when I look at NuclearFun's Hyperion (and some of my inferior ships in the background) This is amazing. Thank you guys so much. And the balance changes, especially to shields and their crafting... it feels like christmas all over again :D

But we can think about how we will balance them when they are. The way it is now, I feel like going in to the fight as a team already has an advantage over fighting alone (given equal mass, of course). This is good, in my eyes. Teamplay and working together are fun in interesting, and should...

What are the current plans for communication between the council and the Schine Team? Will there be weekly meetings? If yes, will they have logs? Are they open to the public? While I know that there are sensitive topics that can not be published, I hope that there are at least monthly meetings...

Nice! I thought the dev focus right now would be on the rail system, but I'm glad you guys focus on bugs and performance issues.

Yes yes yes. People should build more SoasE ships!

Stärmädë If aussies can't even get proper gaming magazines, it's no wonder they struggle with their government :rolleyes:

I assume you get fps drops because of the collission detection (which needs to happen even if you turn off beams in gfx settings). So unless salvaging (or beams in general) get a complete overhaul to how they work, simply drawing the beams differently will probably have no effect. I guess...

Got an example? The only strategy I see here would be a suicide ship, and even if that worked, it would be quite a Pyrrhic victory. I agree with you here. But I would simply suggest that the BOBBY AI just needs a clear line of sight, from the ship/turret it is attached to, to the target it...

Well aren't weapons the least vital system on your ship? If I put my weapons at the center of the ship, it just means that other systems are more exposed, which means they get destroyed first. I'd rather have my weapons blown away and still have a chance at retreat than lose my reactor first and...

I guess that might work.

Would be cool if projectile/beam size was proportional to the block count of the weapon that fires it.

What about ships that have separate parts by design, Rayman style? I actually had some ideas for a ship like this in mind. How do we handle that situation?

I agree with everything said here so far. I still hope we get hotbar activatable activation modules before, then I can build a push effect auto pilot :)

I also want to point out that collision detection is (afaik) always a performance issue, so unless our current ones are fixed, we should think twice about introducing new ones ;)

I would suggest shots can not pass through other modules/systems. That way, you can put as much decorative/armour blocks in front of a weapon as you want, but if you put weapons at the end of your ship, everything in front of them cannot be systems, which means you either lack those systems or...

I agree that shipbuilding is probably the most interesting aspect of the game right now, but I believe that combat and survival are well on their way to become enjoyable as well. A lot of people already enjoy them. Also bear in mind that most servers where people play that way have their own...
