In all my time here I've tried not to act like the excessively blunt, dickish stereotypical PvP vet (primarily because I'm not one and don't have the first-hand experience to back myself up acting like that), but just this once, for about two sentences, I'm going to have to act like one, as I...

It does exist, of course. My point is that all weapons have AoEs. You said which is odd, as cannons, beams, and missiles all have their own version of AoE mechanics. Beams are both super accurate and have an AoE, in fact one that is in some cases better than the cannon one. Cannons use a...

More precisely: Beams also have AoE, period. And if they didn't, players just split up the outputs, creating an AoE of arbitrary radius. All this talk of 'comparing AoE vs. subsystem cross section' doesn't mean much. What we did in Quickfire's config is cause beams to put all of their leftover...

Yep. You can just copy the configs into your local install's /StarMade/data/config folder. Aye, it's an aesthetic choice which has real gameplay repercussions. We've reduced the size of weapons a fair bit (partly by my request), but - as several more knowledgeable people had to point out to...

The "Personal Gravity" is not personal gravity. It's just downward gravity, for both the person and any ships/asteroids near the station. The "Structure Gravity" is radial gravity for everything, but players don't have character control code for radial gravity so they use downward gravity with...

I'm not in support of anything that promotes the usage of fake windows, but beyond that, I like the idea. Rivets and compact lights would be great things to have in general.

This could scale for StarMade. You'd basically place a large frame or enclosure of arbitrary size based on how large of a system you wanted, and then build the walls and other parts. The system could even be more advanced, with certain placement rules for certain modules and other things. I...

A "merge" operation in StarMade basically means a gigantic copy-paste from one entity to the next. Sounds kind of... perilous, from a performance standpoint.

I'm sure they have already. However, there's really no magic wand they can wave to address this. Likely the best thing for them to do is finish "DEVELOPING" (with community input, hopefully) the core gameplay, polishing some things up, and then start looking more at community outreach and the...

You'll probably have to wait a year or so for that. The Regions system coming with the universe update, combined with good user tools to manipulate it, would be able to essentially do what you're describing.

There are some pretty significant things not emphasized in the news post: Fixed missile tracking: Missiles should track more accurately now, and not attempt to hit the previous position of ships. You can now spawn docked entities (e.g. turrets) directly onto docks. If you point at a rail block...

You mean a dead giveaway to this being legitimate? It makes perfect sense for a test feature that hasn't been properly implemented yet, to be placed at the spawn sector for quick checking of whether or not the thing is working as intended.

Roll speeds are really fast no matter what, so no, you really only need either your pitch or yaw to be quick and then you can just roll to compensate for the other axis.

Just because they aren't actively trying to draw in large numbers of new players doesn't mean they can't allow people to join and invest into their game... :P Reading through the rest of this thread, a lot of the opinions expressed here rather... confuse me. Do people honestly think that making...

Might want to check the graphic I posted above, w/r/t/ the power systems aspect. It is not "one group of stabs"; think about how the facings mechanic works for just a second or look at the graphic and you'll see why they did not "fix" the dimensional calculations. Definitely. It's even more...

Yes. Apply this in 3D, keep the stabilizers as close as you can without passing the stabilizer group merge threshold, and there you go. All 6 facings, in one nice slim package.

The doomsticks do use 6-point axis power. Think about the facing system, the axis turning sliders, and how it distinguishes between different sides of a ship for a second, or look at how those ships are set up, and you can figure it out.

Well, it was actually true, at least for weapons 3.0 and probably the universe as well. Lots of people are waiting for some update that will make the game more enjoyable to play, and tend to pop back up briefly every major update. Weapons didn't happen to be that update, but it doesn't mean...

Personally, I've never really had any issue with flying in this game. The strafe-fighting is a point, I guess, but when we move past fighting just for the hell of it, just drifting off in some direction forever while shooting at an enemy will achieve basically nothing - whatever you're fighting...
