Trying out Sketchfab with a very old hull for a bit of a sneak peek at projects to come. Might as well get the settings right first.

Firrion, I'm waiting.

Wow, I come back to check on the game and forums after half a year and this thread is on the first page with 18 agrees? Take a hint, devs.

Eh, I don't feel that comfortable bumping my own thread, but positive ratings are coming in every other day. Interest seems to be there. Any word from the devs or council regarding the latest revision of the idea?

Something a bit fancier may be how some Warhammer 40k maps handle it, at least those that I have seen. They usually label directions relative to the galactic centre and spin, so the direction to the core would be 'corewards', the direction facing away from it and to the edge would be...

I could see this as hand-held devices rather than onboard controls for ship turrets. Kind of like in EVE / DUST 514, where you can have a mate in a frigate in orbit around the planet, providing precision strikes on laser-designated positions. It's not exactly necessary in SM as of yet, but maybe...

The issue that comes to mind is block size, though. If vehicles were implemented, they'd look and behave like turrets with thrusters. To get decent-looking tanks, lorries or simply just cars, they'd have to be on the scale of ships. Something like Space Engineers' large ship / small ship block...

Absolutely, yes. But I suppose you'll have to design a game around that concept, rather than adding it as one of many methods to engage in fights.

I'll just hijack this again: http://starmadedock.net/threads/controllable-grouped-turrets.8354/ Support that, and you support capital ship fights. Then buff turrets so that they can actually make a dent in armour, and finally spinal-mounted main armaments will be a thing for über-weapons and...

That is exactly what the second part suggests. Each computer will represent what I think your master AI would do, just so that you can enable and disable it much more quickly. Every group acts as a unit and once activated, does everything in unison, but separate from any other group. Whether...

But potentially, it could ask to much of our honoured judges who are we, couldn't it? I mean, looking back at the official contest, I doubt anyone will build more than 2 within 15 days. If at all. I know I won't. So you're probably right. Just pointing out, then, 10 is quite optimistic, too.

Sweet, this might actually put some pressure on my creative glands. But... 10 stations per builder? Don't you think that's a bit of a chore to go through and rate?

You mentioned that buff yourself later on: This. You'd still end up wasting time hammering up or down through dozens of turrets until you find the one you need, up to which point the target may already have moved on and out of its line of fire. My personal biggest issue with a solution like...

Seems to be a common thing to hijack threads on this forum, so I'll just follow suit: http://starmadedock.net/threads/controllable-hardpoints-grouped-turrets.8354/ #grandtheftstarmade #thuglife

I must say, DFN/NFD ships have come a long way since I last followed your projects a year or more ago. Used to look all similar, now each and every single one has a distinct, interesting style, while holding up to a common theme. Not to sound dismissive of your past projects and accomplishments...

All my rambling for such an easy statement. Yes, almost. 'Minding their programming' is exactly what I detest. Want to sneak up on someone? Nope, turrets. What I meant was that AI doesn't even have to be built into the turret at all. Just link the core or any other viable block to the turret...
