Currently warp gates can get you up to 8 systems away and it only takes 16 gates to cross an entire galaxy including the void space in between the farthest arms. I wouldn't mind seeing different kinds of gates for different lengths of travel. I think 8 is the highest we should go though really...

Just edit the OP. Everything will be all out of order if you are trying to respond to people.

I've got a major shift planned for the developement of these ships. I will be focusing on Minmatar over the course of the next few weeks. You will see why in a video. I will post it here. The Algos has been started. I would say it's a quarter or a third done with the wirefame, which is the...

Time to bring this thread out of the grave. There is a massive list of things to cover. First things first. I will be updating the OP with some albums of the ships I have created so far. There will be links to imgur with the full set. The OP will have up-to-date pictures of the latest projects...

Today I am releasing the Amarr Executioner. This is an attack ship designed for tackling the enemy. There is a pod permanently fitted to the ship. Here is the video release. You can expect one of these with every ship I post for download. Smaller ships will not get many screenshots. Discover...

For maximum damage per shot your best bet would be missile/pulse/overdrive. This is per shot though and has a massive reload. DPS is the same in any combination so long as it has the same numbers of blocks.

I don't really think there is one. I would guess most players go 50/50. Once shields go out it's hard to get them back up in combat and you usually don't last much longer, at least against missiles. Capacity is more important when you take that into account.

I am sure if the devs intended to impose constraints on systems they cold have done this already. I am positive that thrusters at one point performed better when lined up. That was a year ago. I am still against this. Keeping it simple such as forcing systems into large groups or the constraints...

You stated multiple times in the OP that certain things (specifically thrusters) would benefit if built a certain way. That there would be a more effective system by building a certain way. So how does that not force me to build a certain way in order to keep up with players that use this...

Apparently the ability to "scope in" is on the to-do list. There has been no official comment but it is on the roadmap. I would consider this something that they thought of.

In order for this to work there would need to be some other changes to gameplay overall. Players would need consequences for dying. Right now it isn't a big deal if we loose some of our credits. Dropping all loot and whatnot might be a big issue. Suicide should only be usable out of combat...

Well, it's probably not a thing because there are other more important things that need to be worked on. This is just an addition to an already implemented feature whereas we are still waiting for major game mechanics to be finished. My best advice is to be patient :D

There are ways to do this without forcing us to build in specific shapes. Having pros / cons for installing different systems that effect each other would better tackle the one-ship-fleet mindset that currently goes with ship building. Suddenly ship-roles because players would loose massive...

Holy damn. That is a lot to take in. Now don't take this the wrong way, you seem to be very excited about this game and want to see it progress. I do need to point out some major things/concerns about what you've stated. Seeing as you've joined the forums on Tuesday, I will assume you're just...

Yeah a lot of this negates the need for scanners. So if this information is to be displayed then it should do so after a scan in the system. Since it is a snapshot it could tell you how old the intelligence is.

I would guess right now that the shipyard subforum has plenty of stations that have been posted. I don't see what's stopping people. There really isn't a shipyard for stations.

Just to clarify, Smedit does not currently allow the alteration of blueprints. It can only create them.

In a short amount of time this thread got lots of responses. Also I read something about old flame wars something something asshats. I saw a colbert eating popcorn gif a little later and also something about being offended so I'm sure this is really just a great thread all around.

We used to have a system where we could slide a percentage of the weapon into specific qualities such as damage, radius, speed, and reload. The devs opted out. It was very easy to create OP missiles. Considering there is a speed limit to the server that all ships can match, a small ship with a...
