Well theoretically the game will get more and more immersive and this being the case we don't want ships teleporting onto docks to ruin that. At some point even manual docking beams are intended to cause the ship to begin to automatically move onto the dock rather than just snapping straight on.

Nah starcraft is way more stressful than programming.

The pickup point stuff is there because coding a path finding ai for drones to be able to redock to any ship configuration would be up there with the ai MIT uses for their bipedal robots. Its much easier just to let the player handle the path finding.

You are correct that ion reduces physical damage, removing it completely at 100% How much you want to reduce your ion by depends on what blocks you want to kill and how much damage the beam does per tick.

Mysterious page 3 derp:

Holy shit its alive!

The way I imagine it is that you have a preset max based on the the block count that takes say 120 seconds of charging to reach (with appropriate pre-fire glow at the muzzle) the power draw would be constant during charging. once you exceed that preset max you can continue charging but the power...

The way I envisage them is that you hold down to charge and it fires the instant you release, the longer the charge the more damage, ideally the beam varient would have all its ticks within a very short pulse.

Wow its been so long that I had forgotten about your holographic display, this would be the one thats actually the size of a small fighter right?

Yeh that'd be pretty damn awesome, I'm hoping for really long (or potentially limitles) maximum charge times.

Aren't the slave properties just pulse but even more so?

Minelayer!

My second fleet submission is back in the form of AtraUnam_Fleet_Submission_2.1 now completely overhauled, all the old ships are completely gone and the awesome dial has been turned up to 11. Note to devs: I didn't include a rack because the nature of the submission means there needs to be no...

The old crappy cartoony fleet is gone! It has been replaced with the new sleek fleet that it should have been all along.

a PVP server is probably the closest thing to what your looking for.

3.0 Update, of this rescource (2.0 update of this ship) completely overhauls it too make it better in every way, better interiors! more rails! and more awesome!. I'd like to publicly thank refirendum for coming up with the whole idea, Crusade for being ok with me completely ripping off his...

How about we just make warheads cause a war declaration against the nearest ship that isn't owned by the faction that got hit? Now I admit that I only thought this idea out for all of 20 seconds but it would generally solve the problem without demanding faction blocks on warheads; while its true...

Alternatively to the post above you get 50 mass for free and each mass enhancer adds 5 mass capacity.

Yeh but I was gonna throw in a steam key as a secondary reward.

Oh that reminds me, I know a few fleets are going to be selected (or voted on) to be expanded on by their builders, will there be distinct positions like 1st, 2nd and 3rd or will it just be, these 4 people did good they should make bigger fleets?
