This... For further the explanation: if you take, for example; an AI guided torpedo and make it a fleet, then send it to an enemy system to attack. The following problems will arise, - With no player present the target sector/system is not yet loaded. You can't kill what hasn't spawned...

I've read through some more of the posts. This thread seems to have become more of an argument about scale; more so than just giantism. Proponents of mining bonuses suggest that it's too easy to build a titan and thus giantism is encouraged. Opponents say 'make them work for it'. In any...

How about they take the same route as aux power? Leave defensive ion, punch, pirce, etc, always on by default? That way, you can make the base as tanky as a ship; even if you're not around. Schine are you reading this?:rolleyes:

Actually, I've been experimenting with turret arms a lot lately. With careful planning, a small entity docked to the gun barrel, plex-door/force-field and a teeny bit of logic, you can make a turret that will target whatever you point it at and hold its fire until you press the "death button"...

Maaaaybe....

To answer the original post about giant-ism. After researching further, I think I now understand how aux power is best used. I now also limit the size of my aux power tanks to avoid a complete failure of the system in the event of a direct hit. I'm seeing a massive increase in firepower...

MECHA PORN!!! Sometimes all a guy wants is a pump-action sh... er, um... A giant robot... :rolleyes: I was working on a new heavy (by Axis standards) combat ship when out of nowhere, I had this sudden robot fetish I had to satisfy. Curse you Armored Core! Curse you and your whole...

I'm a big fan of what is called "advanced city planning". I tend to follow a specific pattern when building a base and I find that there aren't many players with a build style that is compatible or complimentary to my own. As nice looking and complex as other builders' creations may be, our...

Mine isn't as complex as yours AtraUnam. But here's some robotic eye candy nonetheless. The arms operate like forward facing turrets when the AI is set to "ANY". They work pretty well so far.

Also remember that shootout/pickup rails are intangible. They won't obstruct the movement of other entities.

Wait... Are you guys talking about my old 10x launcher on community content? You do know that unit is from before the shootout rails release right? I really outta update that thing and the 25x. Without shootout rails, those old generation units need to be fired while stationary, otherwise...

I have absolutely no idea what you're referring to... :p

Also, don't forget about the passive effect systems. - Passive Ion reduces damage done to your shields by up to 60% in exchange for a very low power requirement. - Passive Piercing redirects up to 25% of damage away from physical blocks and toward your armor hit points; negating physical...

To further Madman198237's explanation... Your ship's survivability when taking damage will be determined in the following sequence. 1) Shields: Shields block out all damage and they regenerate. This makes you borderline invincible as long as they are online. Keep your shields up. 2)...

EVOLUTION COMPLETE... The newest rebuild of my gunship. Defender MK2 30% ship. 70% gun... This little brawler sacrifices speed for greatly increased defensive and offensive capabilities in a relatively compact design. One round from its main gun will tear through 3 blocks of advanced...

Stop thinking about it... Just do it! Set the Bobby AI to "astronaut". Two words; Station Security... :cool:

I have a few ideas if anyone wants to have a look. Recognized by Council - Additional fleet commands

You betcha... ;)
