I suspect that this is actually the game's fault, if anything. People want to give meaningless conflict meaning, so they start flinging crap at each other to create some form of conflict... Once Shipyards come out (Actually getting ships built will be a lot less of a pain in the ass), PvE is...

First of all, the ratings (Offense, Defense, Mobility, whatever) are broken, and this is known. Ignore them for now; they're being balanced and fixed but I have no idea when they'll reach a meaningful, balanced state. Second of all, Standard and Advanced Armor are now heavier than system blocks...

Um... Isn't that the same as the shield texture and the warp effect? Sounds like a bad idea.

That's not how Star Trek's shipyards work either. They're basically just structures where you can dock and repair starships, not some kind of magical repair ring system.

That's exactly what a shipyard is. You fly in, dock, and you can access a Shipyard Computer that lets you repair the ship.

Agreed, this could get confusing. I'd expect a lot of "I can't undock my ship I built wat is going on :(" when someone builds a design and finds that it's not flyable.

Not intended, don't be surprised if this gets fixed.

Yeah... I don't think you're supposed to be able to repair on the fly, but shipyards will definitely have a "repair to blueprint" feature.

Personally, I'm picturing a control panel with a keyboard and some kind of screen... Kind of like the weapons computers.

Oh, dayum. This is pretty sweet. I've seen boxy ships, curvy ships, curvy-boxy-armorplatey-whatever ships, but not entire fleets of predominantly cylindrical ships that actually look awesome. Also, those drones... Are they built around... Ice cubes? Nice work, Solasis. (And nice avatar.)

Yeah, I REALLY REALLY REALLY want this... except it probably goes in Kupu's Thread, not here. Anyway... Fans!

What I did when I got bored of testing shipyards. Sadly you STILL cannot pilot from chairs... Oh well.

Yup, will do!

I said myself on chat, "I can't really blame you guys for randomly raiding people seeing as there isn't much to do in the game at this point," but that's not what I was talking about... As Luna said, it's the harassment that came with it that ticks me off. Most of our resources are still in...

You're going to leave bad blood, Chevalleis, especially if you make a habit of using crap like that as 'justification.' If you're going to attack people for no legitimate reason, then at least don't send things like "death to horsehumpers" as your war declaration. If that's how you have your...

Alright, so I just finished updating to Windows 10, and, uh, wat. So, the Helkan Imperium is just another of 'those' factions? I'm disappointed. It might also be useful to note that the #1 rule on Shattered Skies is "Don't be a dick." Attacking an unestablished faction just because one member...

I know, and it would make sense, but it would also put people who can't load larger planets due to computer issues at a disadvantage compared to everyone else :\

But if these entities that cause a lot of lag are standard parts of competitive gameplay, that requires the admins to do a LOT of policing they shouldn't have to. Furthermore, it requires them being a pain in the ass to normal players who aren't trying to do anything wrong. Any issue like that...

...And I see the removal of something laggy that was also a pretty neat player-made solution to a problem. (Which is also technically an exploit.) What we need is better power mechanics, not (admittedly good) player-made solutions that tend to also screw up the game for people. Although for now...

You aren't supposed to be able to use cloaking ships for that crap... They're more for scouting and recon than anything else. Once you see what they have, then you bring in the fleet. (Or just one really big ship... or small ship... or whatever the situation requires.) If someone scans you, then...
