Working on a new carrier, going to have a look and see if any of the enemy detection logic systems can start the launch sequence and go full automated with it.

I cannot second the orientation suggestion enough.

I seem to recall it being mentioned that docked thrusters not providing 1:1 thrust was a glitch.

I can't really think of anything wrong with the stats on that fighter for something its size tbh. Pretty good guns and very quick.

I'm only seeing the usual difficulty options personally. Really liking the layout on the new launcher though.

The New Yorkshire is a small mining ship, ideal for the early game due to it's low cost. It can eat an asteroid in decent time and has decent cargo storage, especially for its size. The ship also contains a small interior, complete with crew quarters, a bathroom and a break room. Complete with a...

I am almost guaranteed to make more original battlestar designs, since I quite enjoyed the Gaius. I have a few other smaller projects I really should finish up before jumping onto another large ship though, I have a habit of getting halfway through bigger ships and burning myself out. I think my...

You wouldn't even need a battleship. Min/maxing a fighter with a big enough gun to take out any block in the game isn't hard to do, and with the health system in place turrets aren't going to kill it quick enough. Really, this entire idea is solving a problem that doesn't really exist. Smaller...

Looking good so far. Definitely looking forward to trying the Valkyrie refit out when you're finished.

As long as you have a power supply beam you're pretty much good to go equipment wise, so starting on a planet wouldn't be that bad.

The Battlestar Gaius is a battleship/carrier hybrid that combines heavy firepower and a sizable drone swarm. The ship comes with a full interior, for easy updating for the quarters update, complete with over 150 beds, multiple mess halls/rec rooms and various work stations through the interior...

Another issue with this idea is that Starmade doesn't really keep track of a ships in/outside.

This. Partly because I'm not a great shot, but missile/beam is the most reliable way of hitting something small. This is especially so when you factor in the best place for a bigger ship to be is at a distance, where the agility difference doesn't count for as much.

B, I guess. Sometimes do a bit of C and D, but I mainly only go pirate hunting for testing these days.

I'm not really for consumables in general but food supply, if it's implemented well, I think would work. There would have to be a pretty large degree of automation to the process of distributing the food between your faction NPCs though.

That's a fair point. Can't say I know how good the AI is for that, but maybe eventually?

From my experience you need quite a lot of drones to make a difference in giant ship battles. Enough to at least make the server not melting a concern.

Wouldn't need to drop it. You could just board it. I agree voidspace is a bit busy at the moment, but I'm not opposed to the odd secret base out where no one is likely to find it, or ideas like the giant war drone. Maybe even a Reaper from Mass Effect esque faction, like a mysterious group with...

I like this idea. Maybe an adjustment would be the longer a ship is overheating the more likely it is you'll just end up with scrap, encouraging the player to recover the vessel as soon as possible.

While that is true, if the 2 swarms were even approaching equivalent mass the lighter drones would have a huge advantage. Groups of smaller ships are generally more cost effective for their firepower. It's not really much of an issue now since you're limited to what you fly yourself, but if the...
