There was a hole underneath the outer airlock doors through which one could fall into the hull, which I've now fixed.

Ready to go. https://starmadedock.net/content/atalanta-i-racing-yacht.8539/

Designed for the marathon races of the solar system circuit, the Atalanta's sleek and graceful exterior conceals the brutish power of a pair of thermonuclear engines originally intended for a heavy cruiser class ship's secondary drives and the sturdiness of the reinforced starship frame made to...

Designed as a fleet escort/light attacker, the Gladius-class is the first design produced by our shipyards in several years. In the time since, technological advances have caused us to rethink our design philosophy entirely. Despite teething problems caused by engineers being unfamiliar with...

Because having a ships power stat based on size and nothing else means that making a "smaller but better" ship is basically impossible. Power can't be armored, like in the new system, you can't have efficient layouts, like the old system. All you can have is more blocks. The whole of ship design...

As atra pointed out but you failed to understand, this would allow people to make an ultra-dense system ship filled with power-guzzling weapons and thrusters, then spam weightless, unhittable area triggers around it until they had enough power. Welcome to tiny ships with the speed of a dedicated...

Has the bug where your helmet unequips itself even been fixed?

This just seems like an all-round nerf to ship durability, and a big one at that.

Well, that was right at the top of a google image search I did for "thread necro", so sure, steal it.

I definitely support this. Armor is just not as good as it feels like it should be. Pretty much every ship has or easily could have a cannon that can go straight though the whole length of a similarly sized ship, so battle damage is just needleholes and armor that does nothing. Damage is...

I think this idea has some definite merit. Dr. Whammy, is a lack of effectiveness against larger ships such a bad thing? A shotgun very much strikes me as being a weapon intended for targeting smaller, more evasive enemies rather than ships of a similar size to the one firing. I understand...

I'm inclined to agree with this. For a ships hull, I prefer it to look fairly solid, and definitely not like a grid of squares. There are a few instances where I like the grid feel, but for those generally various decoration blocks work just fine. I personally think that tessalating, rivited...

I think that one of the biggest things that needs to be adjusted is the damage/size/power consume ratios for weapons. Do that, and making effective turrets that don't like stupidly oversized relative to the main ship would be much easier.

If you're that close, you may as well be using pulse, which bypasses blocks anyway IIRC. And if you made a really, really long beam converging array, then if anyone gets closer it becomes impossible to hit them. So yes, an exploit I suppose, but not a very good one.

I can't think of any way this is exploitable, but also, it just seems kinda.... meh. I can live without it. Flak weapons first, converging beams later. And what did you just say about the death star? Inelegant? I'll have you know that the deathstar designers graduated at the top of their class...

I have a way to make this work without breaking anyone's builds, though it admittedly might nerf them a bit: destroy blocks that are not connected, but ONLY if armor HP is depleted. So you can still make ships with floaty bitz, they just won't make very good armor tanks, which is not what I...

I'm not even going to dignify that with a proper response, as it's so very typical of you. You make a poorly thought out suggestion -> someone points out it's flaws -> you start insulting them and making nonsensical claims -> return to step two.

Oh yea, that sounds completely balanced. Welcome to all small ships being made instantly useless by weapons that hit everything, and weapons that fire eight quadrillion missiles crashing the server every five seconds.
