      The *responsible* warhead rebalancing thread.

      Delivery was never really a concern. There is no shortage of launcher ideas (not including my own) out there. The real issue is that we need for the things to be able to inflict some kind of reasonable damage when they hit. Scratching the paint on a single block of armor isn't enough to...

      Nope... I've been hit by an Alpha power before. My torpedo testing never hit anywhere near that hard. The effort that goes into building these things and effectively getting them to hit a target without some lame kamikaze method makes them far from an ideal primary weapon. It's really...

      The *responsible* warhead rebalancing thread.

      That was my post actually, and balance was my entire point. It's like a bunch of people said, "screw the numbers, I want to stay invincible." So I tried to cave in a little. Then they complained "But... but... it IGNORES shields!". So I caved in a little more. Then some of them got...

      Yes... More... More testing is needed. Must make it through the day... Must make more weapons... of galactic... destruction...

      12... Core, power, thruster, rail docker, damage pulse computer, damage pulse module, bobby AI, push effect computer, push effect module, delay signal, NOT signal, and a warhead. I'll be damage testing tonight now that my IRL chaos is slowing down.

      This sounds good. The only thing I disagree with is the no cloak/no jam thing. I think there is a better way to stop cloak rammers and still allow stealth bombers to be a thing. More brain storming seems to be in order. Regarding: damage; remember that I'm still going to do a wider range...

      No... Dakka-Man. You misunderstand. I have nothing against titans themselves. I just don't like the mentality behind most people who fly them. It's this whole school bully - "I can't beat him so I'll go download something bigger" nonsense. People with that kind of play style force...

      Ouch... Are you able to do this solo or to you have a faction with you? If fleet orders persisted indefinitely instead of reverting to "idle" I would have tried that approach on LvD. I'd probably have a lot less interest in asymmetrical warfare and more interest in mass-production.

      On occasion, I have... :rolleyes: Yeah. I try to use numbers to offset the smaller size of my ships as well. I had something the neighborhood of 43 frigates on LvD before they reset. Their combined firepower might have taken out the above ships but at a heavy cost. Before I got all...

      YOU are contributing; just as most of the others here are. You've been constructive and I value your feedback because, believe it or not, I want to get back into multi-player and PVP. What I don't want is to be is target practice for people who spend every waking hour online building a...

      Here's a better idea. How about I just put your dumb ass back on ignore and listen only to people who have something constructive to add? Bye! :rolleyes:

      I think this is the key. These weapons should come at a high cost and not be subject to glitch exploitation. The bottom line is we need better collision detection mechanics all around; not just for torpedo strikes. That glitch everyone uses needs to go away, leaving only the true direct...

      If you want to contribute to this discussion and actually come to a fair solution that actually encourages PVP rather than scares off a big chunk of the player-base, that's fine. If you want to revisit the home base topic, that's fine too but go do it elsewhere; this is not the thread for that.

      Yeah... You name call then get offended when someone doesn't put up with it and basically calls you out on your nonsense with something even more painful; the truth. You don't have the stomach for a challenge. That's why you want to remain invincible in your biggie-boats. The only thing you've...

      The *responsible* warhead rebalancing thread.

      Yeah... You really can't beat a titan with these; that was never the point. This is about the fear of getting the paint scratched. There are too many players who want to have their cake and eat it too; roaming about in titans able to destroy anything in their path while remaining...

      ...and gets the front of their ship blasted off because they get shot by defense turrets set to destroy warheads. Yeah; at no point am I asking for shielded warheads. Come on, Dakka-man. You know better than that. o_O

      You're referring to this again aren't you? I'm sorry if one little random builder frightens you all so much. I specifically said to make the weapons "Expensive" with regard to materials so people CAN'T spam you like this. Hell! make the damn things cost 5000 Fertikeen so we have to choose...

      Before we do this; three questions... 1) Did you read the whole thread? 2) Did you understand my posts? 3) Did you look at ANY of the pictures?
