Sounds good to me. The tiny pew pew beams are a bit absurd.

I\'m not at all fazed by what you think of me. For that other stuff, good for you. If you\'re talking about trading an increase in velocity for a decrease in turning speed, I could maybe appreciate that. Also if you\'re talking about an increase in turning speed for a decrease in velocity, I...

Yes it could make sense because in some lore ships have shields to help with minor collisions and even some times to maintain the structural integrity of ships. Some non combat ships have shields, not for fighting, but to protect them from space debris.

Jets don\'t fly the way you describe. When a jet turns towards +Z it still has velocity towards +X. The bite of the aerodynamic surfaces in the atmosphere will quickly eliminate this velocity, but it does not immediately transfer. There\'s some slide to jets just like there is in StarMade...

My ships available for pirates. I\'m to lazy to go into stats but they\'re all superior to Isanth. From right to left is Isanth XDP: The prototype Isanth XD. This by itself is worth about two or three Isanths in combat, even though at first glance it looks just like the Isanth. Isanth XD2...

I agree with you but even with these proposals, they\'d still be glorified giant asteroids. That\'s why I don\'t care so much because it detracts from other stuff that could be worked on. With the scale of objects in this game, for planets to rightly be called planets the way I typically...

The hitbox would not have to be in terms of cubes. Hitboxes for wedges and corners for example are the same shape as the wedge or corner, evidenced by the fact you can shoot through the \'empty\' part of the cube that it occupies. The hitbox of a ship currently is shaped pretty much exactly like...

I think we already have this. It\'s called holding W. It amounts to the same thing due to inertial dampening. Holding W and turning with the mouse is about the same as flying a jet, sans gravity and lift. Inertial dampening has the same effect as a very thin atmosphere, so while the ship...

Mass effects the kinetic energy but does not effect damage the way the OP is saying. If the damage worked that way, humans would be bulletproof because they have way more mass than a bullet does. Shape and hull thickness will also matter, but let\'s not get ahead of ourselves.

Mass should factor into the amount of inertia, not damage. Mass should just determine which ship gets bounced and by how much. Damage should come from velocity and should apply equally to both targets because speed is relative. Mass should NOT effect this because the ships materials are made...

I like the drilling effect, and I think they should be laser accurate like they are. I don\'t think it can be called OP because there\'s nothing to compare to, except missiles which do even more damage when shields are down, if they actually hit. There\'s nothing to be underpowerd in comparison...

Yeah well this is a game about building ships for space combat and getting resources. This other stuff is true but it can just be assumed to be happening to jumpstart the process of getting into space. This isn\'t Space Shuttle Delivery Service. This isn\'t KSP where you need a rocket the...

Yeah well my space station is a faction home and is invincible. :P Anyway not everyone has that many blocks and turrets. Yes they\'re easy to get if you rip apart stations and crack planets and abuse every shop you come across, but some of us find that to be a cheap way to go about things.

You will NOT have good shields in the beginning of the game. Do not try to believe that your shields are good enough to withstand a dozen pirates. You will not have a damage soaking ship. You will also not have large guns yet, but you can have better guns than the pirates. My cruiser that I...

Haha yeah, I learned that while I was trying to beef up the Isanth without increasing its size or reducing the interior space too much. I had to experiment a lot to stuff everything in but I managed to give it a significant increase without changing the hull size or decreasing the interior (just...

Yeah, there\'s a weird thing with power blocks. With say a core of only three blocks, you get better power if none of them touch. With blocks that could fill out more dimensions though, it\'s better to link them so they represent a large area. Furthermore, where you place the arms doesn\'t...

I build ships from the inside out. Trying to make ships look like sci-fi ships is a bad practice for combat, because the designers and effects crew draw up something that looks cool, throw random crap on it to make it look high tech, and then make up some fake stuff to justify a thing that...

Probably. I just cobbled something together really fast to show that it is possible to do with very few blocks, and very cheaply. I\'m sure it can be arranged better. My actual stealth salvager that I made is much larger with bigger salvage cannons with a 10x5 power core based on a fairly...

If you don\'t want to cheat but are still really desperate for resources and can\'t make a good enough ship using starting blocks, you could try to build a stealth salvager. It will need to be mostly power blocks with one stealth module and just enough thrusters to move it, and small salvage...

Just leave them as discs. They are fine. I do not want wierd gravity or stuff sticking out the sides of a still tiny planet, nor indistructible blocks that will be floating remnants in space when a planet cracker comes along and strips away everything else. As far as I\'m concerned they\'re...
