Or you could not use a 100 / 100 ratio? Do something like 100 / 90 if you want a bit of extra damage per shot. The dps stays the same no matter the rate of fire.

>_> This update doesn't even include the health system, which I imagine will be the actual system that increases the length of battles.

First, I think we should get more than a few hours after a release to actually test stuff. Second, this is alpha. While it is nice to make it easiest for players, we also want balanced gamelay. If the devs have to make radical changes to provide a better end product, then I can't encourage them...

I'm hoping stealth modules will actually work at that point.

Pretty much totally planned.

Like I said above, the posts cover lots of info about what the devs want to do with armor, shields and weapons. Shields aren't really being regarded as a problem right now.

Anything that has armor in the title that was posted within the last week.

So I wanted to check the performance increase in the latest dev build. I imported a few massive ships to see how much FPS I could get with them fully loaded. Here is one of them: Wait, that doesn't look massive at all! What's going on here? Oh... It appears as if the ship has filled...

I would rather see a target painter module. It would allow heat seekers to be guided towards a target. It could be assigned to different colors like any other weapon system and missiles could home in on specific colors. Or not. I just like the concept of a target painter in general.

I think you need to read up a lot on some recent related threads. The devs have made direct responses to lot's of stuff concerning turrets, armor, and weapon changes that are coming. As skeptical as I was before I am once again confident that the devs know our concerns based on these responses...

Naming star systems is already planned and I believe partially implemented. Galaxies I am unsure of.

Well we have hardly heard anything else, but that's what schema said is coming next.

No it should be the main focus of the next patch.

Everything calbirk is saying is making me very happy. For a while I was concerned they wouldnt see the possible issues with overpowered weapons. Glad its already under discussion.

Its not even about agreeing with people or have them agree with you. Its about relaying ideas and concerns to the community. Good or bad idea, this is so the devs can hear all that needs to be heard.

Meh. They haven't got it sorted yet. I would wait till we can apply. There will be time between then and the vote.

Well that's thoughtful. I gotta say though, there probably won't be a president. It's a council. Elected players will play equal roles in it. I'm sure Raiben won't care to run. He gave up moderator. I can't speak for him though. Not sure tomino will feel the need to run either. Actually the...

I never said I was against cool damage on capital ships. I will never want core-based targeting. Never have. If they can make swarm missiles spread out across the hull of a ship that would be cool. As for fighters, I think they should get counter measures. A fighter should at least take critical...

Well damn. This was unexpected. Very cool. I think something like 10 members would be good. EVE's council of stellar management has like 15 and they deal with many thousands more players than us here in Starmade. I definitely think players could make threads for campaigning. Make a separate...

So... There is a new health system coming out. It is supposed to directly combat core-killing. A ship will have some sort of health based on block count and it won't be able to be killed until some level of destruction is achieved. Heat seekers will kinda be nerfed in effect. They won't be able...
