Momentum recoil makes much more sense (not that either are remotely necessary). Aiming recall is especially a bad idea, engagements in Starmade can happen over some pretty long distances, and keeping to that reduces the chance of big ships colliding into each other.

Haven't really played around with the weapons too much, all my actual Starmade time is spent refitting. How does armour hold up on smaller ships?

This is as poor an idea as it always has been, smaller ships already have so many advantages. Recent changes to shielding already make it so your recharge rate under fire is nonexistent, which when you combine with the extra speed and mobility smaller ships get you can already theoretically beat...

Problem with spaghetti type designs is you hit them so infrequently that their shields don't come down, so acid damage isn't really gonna help there.

I actually kinda like the recent mechanics changes now I've had time to play around with them, especially once Stabilizers got tweaked. There's still a fair amount of balancing and similar tweaks that need to go in, but overall the newer mechanics seem promising. The biggest complaint I have...

This should definitely be implemented once crews and NPCs become actually viable. Though as said the way in which FP is generated should be totally overhauled.

The problem with the systems overhaul isn't so much that the systems themselves are beyond saving. Before stabilization was pretty bad, but the new fix makes it work, and with similar fixing integrity could work nicely. The main problem is that it came out at a time that completely killed any...

Even taking the time to implement fuel would be a waste of dev time in a game that's already troubled in that regard.

I'm not too fussed about needing to refit or rebuild, but I still think the whole thing is a poor idea. Completely overhauling a core mechanic this late into development is such a bizarre move, since the process of making in game assets that rely on these mechanics is underway already. Not to...

The problem is that if an "x wing" is only effective against another "x wing" then it realistically isn't effective at all. You can hardly expect your enemy in a combat situation to waste resources solely to give some of your ships something to do. That said, you can make "fighters" pretty...

Don't really know whether the arcs should be removed entirely, but they definitely need to be toned down.

Other, usually better, interiors.

I don't see why both can't be listed. Damage for shot is still useful to know due to penetration etc.

Something to remember is that if the old style pirates swarm there could be dozens of ships added to that.

Depends on the size of the missile here, and what they're shooting at. Piercing is better against armour, but doesn't do as much raw damage.

Haven't tried it, but look in the npc faction folder in the starmade directory (it will be under data). Make a folder for your faction, put the stations and ships in a zipped file, and copy one of the config files from the other factions. If you want them to spawn in bigger ships etc it might be...

As of this time there is only the 3 major factions. Down the line 2 more major factions will be revealed, but we know nothing about them at this time. And before that (maybe?) the game will have smaller (maybe?) procedural generated factions using the assets from the fleet contest, but there's...

Is there the possibility of them using the existing derelicts and pirate stations? I'm aware that both of those are in for some heavy refitting, and won't necessarily fit the contest fleets as is, but it should be better then nothing for the fleets that won't have their own stations etc.

I think the entire blueprint spawning system is going to be obsolete once the procedural factions make it in, with some of those taking the pirate role. Taking the players blueprints always just struck me as a temporary measure.

I think the old TG and Pirates are still in the game at this time. In my mess abouts I still come across pirate stations.
