For the moment I agree, but I foresee the engine being able to handle this load in the future. Of course the main issue goes from Titans with lots of docked entities to, dozens of smaller craft and all the calculations needed for that. I would expect them to address this as part of the AI...

You make a good point, but leave out that weapons that shred Shields tend to have very little effect against armor. The opposite also applies. For best use of protective items (Shields/Armor) one must plan on where they are going to be taking the most damage (Or at least where they foresee...

I found for DP that a C/C/E works well against grouped missiles, though it does tend to make my PD just a bit larger than compact, but they still get the job done.

I would look up ship sizes and what servers can handle, as most ships over 2K cause massive lag, and chunk issues. PvP in a 3km ship may cause server crashing lag. Other than that I would suggest playing around with different weapon load outs and finding what works for you, there are several...

Loving all the new stuff, but I need time to refit, that the WoW is taking time out of my life atm, but the Frigate is coming along nicely

So then, to get to say 100mil e/sec I would either need to hit soft cap and then (brick it), or have several smaller Aux systems to push to desired level. As I see it, the new power system allows for adding an additional yet volatile battery/generator, to surpass the soft cap, which for some...

so here is a question I have, as I have yet to test this new power system out. If I have more than one Aux power system, is there more than one button for it? or is all the Aux systems linked to one button?

The concept is based around a single lock on missile that is launched and after a set distance/duration splits into four smaller missiles. This is not a fire and forget system like the current M+M setup (Which was little to no utility in fleet operations), nor is it a simple missile system with...

All of the above post are very good information, also keep in mind what you are going for. Long range verse close range. Stealth/Jamming....ect. As you are getting back into this after a year or so, there have been a few changes such as fleets that might also alter what you are going for, as...

Dear Sir or Madam, I think you may need to check the O-Rings, on that one...

Space Fart FTW

I was goofing off and came up with an Idea for a possible new secondary system. The concept is based off of multiple warhead missiles and cluster missiles. The concept it to have a single missile split into four smaller missiles after firing. Not like the M+M we have as that simply multiplies...

After reading the Op's post. Either they were stomped by a ship that designed for war while in a ship they thought was designed for war, Or this is another casual verse hard-core players/builders rant thread. Either way those ships I make public are 100% of what they are designed for by my...

This could add even more depth to the game.

Also the core need not be to center of the ship, as core sniping is a thing of the past. I have placed it on the main bridge of several ships. it just comes down to where you want it.

Doing that still ends up with leaving a spot where the tetra would fit showing, thus not a perfect corner. This has been a major issue with several builds I have come up with as making a inverse pyramid for one corner does not always come out as intended.

I have made some slight changes to the hull to try out some new detail versions. I have also added bulkheads inside the ship, and am 90% complete on the engine room. Currently working on battle bridge, Living quarters, and other internal crew structures. once battle bridge is complete, plan...

The fleet mining A.I. is still very much a work in progress, with that said I'm sure they are going to get this fixed as while not game breaking it is not working as intended.

While I agree that a weapon that deliberately causes damage to friendly ships is silly, there are other uses for M+M systems. I for one use them linked with 100% stop/pull to hold fast moving targets still for my other turrets to kill. They make a fun Ion/Emp Swarm too. For single ships...

I was thinking that being able to group different and distinct weapons together. Something very similar to the way different weapons could be grouped in Battletech/Mechwarrior. Where each weapon system is distinct but could be, through the HUD or master computer be linked into arrays. This is...
