There is a reason; it's that Schema hasn't implemented it yet. :P Also it'd be confusing if we had 15-block-wide laser blasts that made a 1-block-wide hole. I think Schema's waiting until he has time to implement physical projectile scaling, to make the beam visuals scale.

What about sloped display blocks? Both a version with the display on the angled surface and with it on one of the square surfaces.

Yes, there is a limitation, that being that the block system was not designed to accommodate block metadata. I dunno if this will change in the future.

Rimmer, might want to at least edit the title.

When in doubt, report it (unless of course there's already a ticket for it). Behavioral oddities like this might not always get caught.

Phabricator This thing is here for a reason. I already got the "smashing into things" bug, but you guys seem to have tested other things a lot more extensively... Report it here; it's the quickest and most efficient way to get the info to the devs.

There is no pathfinding, there is no fleet formation maintaining if you order them to go somewhere. They just go in a straight line and maybe navigate around stars or something. I reported both of these issues; hopefully they will actually be dealt with in a timely manner.

You should've stayed with the apple-related names. Apple Branch for the light carrier, Crab Apple for the fighter, maybe even Apple Basket for the delivery ship.

Nah, I'd define a grey light as "dim blue-white light that makes everything look really cold and dead."

⚓ T1173 Fleets of ships with different thrust values will not maintain formation. Fleets trying to stay together is apparently coming next update, or something like that. :D As for the roles stuff, that'd probably be good, but I propose the ability to simply order a fleet to escort or follow...

There is no such thing, otherwise someone would've probably suggested that, as I just said.

There's no alternative, otherwise someone would've probably suggested it by now.

Generally when I think of a force field I think of something that stops ANYTHING passing through... A plasma wall or something to keep in oxygen would be a little different.

I've not experienced any of these issues except for the weird jittery AI movement which may or may not be easily fixable; power regen is working fine and Schine was showing a fleet attack on a pirate station which definitely resulted in pirate waves spawning. Criss is working on revamping all...

It's not that they take up a physical space, it's that they take up a data space, otherwise they wouldn't be blocks. You can't have two block data units in space allocated for a single one.

That, and the fact that he has been putting posts for his server everywhere imaginable. If it was just here, that'd be no problem, really...

Database-based base data modding codebase. In space. :p ...It would be good for someone to at least investigate the format and see what can be done in that area.

I find that the current system is just a lot simpler. However, an order to escort a ship or fleet would basically accomplish what you're wishing for*. *Except for AI using astrotech beams, but that is completely and totally pointless anyway and having 'repair nanites' that restore blocks...

I suggested that, but the update had taken too long already and developing, testing, and debugging an entire new feature (and IIRC fixing some other things that were preventing that) would have been a bad idea. No idea if this might be coming soon or not, though.
