Changed the file name to reflect the rules for the fleet contest; no change to the actual file. Hopefully I didn't break anything in the process.

The Elex Assembly is a race of peaceful explorers. They use a strange system of spatial flux energy collectors to power their ships, and tirelessly voyage through the galaxy with their probes charting planets and star systems, and mapping some mysterious characteristic of space that they refer...

Did you accidentally have a faction block on more than one planet plate? Because if so that's your problem; I did something similar by accident and it invalidates faction homebase protection. That's how my EE base got wiped out.

Why's there been nothing on this thread for so long Criss ?

Why shouldn't protected assets function, so long as they aren't ships? The whole point of homebase protection is that factions can have a safe place to hang out, work on designs, etc... Perhaps having things like factories running on a protected structure can cost a significant quantity of...

I support this, but by the way there is absolutely no reason to use actual light calculations for this. You can just use physics - shoot a beam from the center of the solar panel module towards the sun. If it leaves your sector without hitting anything, you're good. (This allows for some strange...

The logic would be virtually simulated in abstract form and the logic blocks you built would be saved as a set of design data associated with the ship entity file. It would not have to literally load a sector for each logic computer.

A spaceship race? You regatta be kiddin' me! ...Anyway I might build something to participate. We shall see.

Can we please get a range buff on beams? Because of the way they work the hitscan doesn't make them any more powerful than cannons really; the current range is just frustrating.

Nope. Wormhole systems are just completely empty; your map will show this.

There is no need for a seperate dimension; just cut off the ship and its occupants from everyone else. People in the ship wouldn't load things in the sector they're flying through and people in the sector wouldn't see the ship either. Also, it would be impossible to un-align from the ship while...

That's a workaround for a shitty mechanic.

It'll just stop anyone flying through the sector that's inhibited, I'd assume... That way things like defense perimeters set up in sectors have some use.

You can report "part of the sky on planets is black during the day except at noon" as a bug, because that's what it is. Not that the code is behaving unexpectedly, but I think we can be fairly certain that this is not intended behaviour.

If we are to do something like this, we're going to have to turn 'faction points' and 'territory claims' into something less ambiguous like "cubatomic energy" and "cubic fields." Anyway, I don't particularly like this either... Faction Points should be an abstract representation of the amount...

I see what you did there :P Just good to know that that bug is known, though. It's been annoying me too and it rarely gets mentioned.

How far along are you with this texture revamp anyway, Kupu?

Much needed; good news. This sounds interesting... if only we could get some specifics... ;) Yay!

...Or at least carved stone wedges?
