Yeah, as a rule of thumb, if you have a small cockpit then always sit down before getting into a computer or even your core. If you do, you will always return to where you're sitting, and will never get booted out of the ship. (Sitting while people are flying is usually a good idea as well, but...

Hopefully, by the time someone's building ships larger than maybe 75-100 meters long, they have a space station. In my experience, the effects of a small ship landing temporarily on a planet aren't nearly as catastrophic as some people believe, as long as the person doesn't just leave it sitting...

The dimensions will probably be like docking mechanics... And in my experience, getting a big ol' dock isn't that hard.

...It'll also be the only place where you can use build mode, if I remember correctly. An astrotech beam revamp (and astronaut-mode building/repairing - this will probably give us more reason to have corridors and/or elevators to access parts of our systems or hull or whatever.) will take care...

Yeah, we certainly do still need a balanced cargo system. I suppose that it isn't the highest priority, but I still hope to see it soonish™.

Agreed... But shouldn't damaging planets from orbit be a little harder in general? I mean, currently there's no point in doing anything on a planet until you've stuck ungodly amounts of shielding underground. Also, destroying storages, at least on stations and planets, should just destroy them...

IDK if players should be able to name galaxies (Though admins should absolutely be able to), however systems and sectors really do need to be renamable. I'm a bit tired of the Aethis system being called Euseminin or Nulgasquenin or Car or Elgemosalpha or Molconfrey or some other random thing.

0x10C-like programming features are planned in the far future for this game, but not quite to the extent that 0x10C was supposed to have them. So, eh, sort of, is the answer to this question.

As I said, it's from a fallback/default thing, not the actual forum layout. The proper layout should be back soon.

Yeah; the site broke and changed over to a fallback layout, presumably due to updates in progress. Not an actual new forum layout (And thank goodness; that odd white/green layout/design is ugly.).

As someone who in fact dislikes Mushroom Fleet, I'm going to go ahead and warn you guys not to turn this into a "bash Mushroom Fleet here!" thread. Because I can see it coming from a mile away. I understand that MF (or at least, the devs' approach towards it) definitely might be be part of the...

Oh, you meant "volumetric"like a model... I thought you meant something like true "volumetric" rendering, such as what would be used to make realistic fog - which is simply too damn complicated for current graphics cards to render. (Though volumetric effects for energy beams and blasts would...

When I read this, I thought for a moment that this would be another one of your old "It's not the game's fault, players just need to stop making such big weapons because I say so" posts and nearly stopped reading. I was pleasantly surprised that this was not the case. Agreed fully. Yeah, this...

Volumetric projectiles... I can hear my graphics card screaming in terror in my computer case even as it renders those two words. Other than that, yes, I agree.

I think a severe diminishing-returns system for weapons damage and shield capacity, along with a buff to armor on hull and systems modules, would be the easiest way to fix this. It would also fix titan superiority without making massive ships pointless (They'd still be giant freakin' flying...

I could use a recruitment poster myself...

The station above Auan Taara, a world of the Imperium.

Sort of, but there are several kinds of Soon™. One is "Working on this, should have it done soon," the next is "I will begin work on this feature soon," and the last one is "Hopefully I'll be able to get around to this soon, once some other features are in place." This is that third kind. Which...

There will be, but sadly I don't think it's coming any time soon.

Before the group nerf, people would make checkerboard-pattern weapons out of giant cannons and it would render effects like Explosive, and missiles of any kind for that matter, redundant because the wall of rounds would just rip through everything. Plus, the giant checkerboards looked stupid.
