Balance trumps lore. Aim assist takes away skill and makes balance shifted heavily towards who can build a better ship and makes pilot skill much less important.

I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED. You're a scrub who can't aim. As a wise man once said, GIT GUD. Yes. Because I can aim. Target lead absolutely does NOT retain the skill element. It drops almost all of it. A target lead tells you exactly where to aim based on a target's velocity, current vector, and...

The what?

Sure there is. Since you can have them "build up" power, you could design a fighter bomber that uses them to quickly refill the main power tanks after launching the missiles, since the regular power generation isn't enough to quickly recharge from such a huge missile. I've had ships with 6k...

Then you don't hit the enemy. You've been OUTMANEUVERED and you shouldn't be able to just go, "plbpbpbpbpbttt i have phaserz" to get around the fact that you've been outplayed and haven't properly covered all angles with your turrets or put enough power into thrust and rotation to avoid getting...

No. The stolen phaser array idea should be done with turrets getting a manual aim mode, and the other one is just damage pulse. Yeah, and make cannon/beam completely replace cannon/cannon and cannon, right? I can't believe that I need to say this every time someone suggests a system like this.

Yeah, and ruin all my existing builds?

Hmm, good point. So, uncontrolled reactors would just be permanently on?

Definitely not.

You say "everyone using them" like it's a bad thing. These aren't meant to replace regular power on small ships. They're meant to replace docked reactors. One feature of docked reactors is that it's easy for them to get lost before the main ship is dead. A slow burn that can be contained by a...

He turned being able to view the poll results off :|

>make not|delay clock >link to reactor >done Yes, very complex, wow. I would argue that Lancake's concepts for reactor designs in the "thermite" thread is plenty of interesting reactor design challenge already. An OPTIONAL power battery controller is something I'm fine with, sure. But it...

Come on guys, everyone knows Vaygr's the one with the magic fleet jar. Blatant lie. Our fleets have about 10 ships each, and we had 3 fleets there originally. We moved 2 of the fleets out partially through the middle of the first battle (the one where you didn't do a single block of damage to...

Overall, I feel like the unquantifiable """techyness""" of being able to use logic for no reason other than "w-well docked reactors used it and I'd miss it!!!!" is not a good reason to not make it easy to use this system.

Yes, but cannons and lockons are much faster traveling. They can quickly kill one and move on to the next. Also, on larger ships, where turrets can be a hundred, two hundred meters or more away from eachother, they often target different drones. Having your front and rear turrets target randomly...

But those aren't tiers. A rapid cannon isn't better than a regular cannon against armor. An ion cannon/cannon won't be able to do anything to armor or blocks. Tiers are better. These are alternatives.

Actually, an important part of the "1/4" or "1/3" statements is the oft-forgotten ending to it- a large ship DESIGNED to take on small ships can handle its weight in them and then some. What's good at taking on small ships? Well, for starters, not swarmers. They're slow and they tend to group...

You're literally just proving my point dude. Some weapons and some defenses are better in different situations. You are describing a decently balanced game and not a tiered game. They're NOT TIERS.

What part of my post is unfriendly? Please, tell me, I will reword it. And if you don't care about the forums, wouldn't it make the most sense to have a user that is not likely to be banned be the owner of the post to minimize your faction footprint? There's probably 3 dozen buried Odium Pact...

How is me politely offering a suggestion to prevent the need to remake your thread every 2 months not "friendly faction discussion"? Also, obligatory *you're
