ah ok that makes sense then, thank you. Do you think upping my render distance would increase the range then to where it should be?

That may be it. However, I was getting hit, but the beams pass through at a range greater than about 2900, I never had to have a cursor contact, I used a 53x53 beam grid that hit fine at that range without targeting myself directly, but at a greater range it just passes though the ship without...

I have not found anything on this so it may just be in my game but I have a 5km sector size and long range beams that should travel 7500m, according to the weapons detail, which they do, however they do no damage beyond 3000m, which seems to be the same as a beam cannon combo. I tested this by...

I like idea 2 but I doubt it would fly because as I understand it the whole idea behind turret self shielding requirement was to make them more vulnerable to fighters and small damage craft, also forcing damage output to be sacrificed for defense or vice verse. The do not want turrets to be any...

Unless they are self powered, the base will also need to supply enough power for them to fire.

Right, or a rocket launcher yes, but my example was with a standard issue laser pistol.

That lost me now, all I saw was "Cocpit Block" and now just "Cockpit Block".

That is a very help-desk answer. Technically correct, but totally useless. You cannot do more damage to a pirate station with a standard issue laser pistol, than it can regenerate. And nitpicking over if you could destroy a building with bee bee gun is just absurd.

You need a weapon that does at least 100 damage per hit, so a standard issue laser pistol will not work. You also have to have the shield down so without a ship using a shield drain beam, you have no chance. But damage is reduced to the point where each 100 points of damage only gives you 1...

LOL thanks I didn't even notice. Must have been a finger malfunction, my k key seems to work fine.

That's cool, if anyone knows where this is listed please feel free to post a link here. I had thought it was planned, and I was actually looking for it to see what the status was on it but came up empty handed. I figured it could not hurt too much to put it in just in case it got lost in a crack...

You could but I do not want to get out of the cockpit on the bridge and be in the core room I want to be on the bridge when I come out of a cockpit on the bridge. I could have sworn I saw it before too but searching I could not find it so maybe I missed it, but I wanted to stick it back in...

I would like to see a block something like the reverse of a Build Block, where build function is disabled but flight mode works. It could be basically the same cube as a Build Block which can access flight mode but has no control only reversed so you can access the build mode but not place or...

My idea is to paint a target, with the marker gun. But I am not sure how a target painter module would help. I did not think you could place anything in an active faction base or i would just use disintegration blocks, otherwise who in their right mind is going to build a ship or station with a...

Would it be possible to allow a marker pistol to mark a single target that a capital ship can then lock onto. The reason I ask is that it would limit collateral damage to stations or bases if we could invade and mark the faction to be hit by a strike from a heavy ship as so far I can punch holes...

jayman38 yep that is exactly what i mean. an array of these turrets behind a decorative wall could simulate a phase array... possibly.

would it be possible to build a long turret inside your ship that would clip halfway into a wall and that way be able to fire through the wall?

I am just wondering if anyone has or knows what some of the special keys are? I have accidentally found some, and many are pretty useful. like the system highlighting keys kp_7 kp_9, etc.

thank you. that was all i really wanted to know.

Sorry yes of course 1000ms is one second, that slipped my mind for a moment. However, I was not really trying to compare the weapons except for the fact that both say 400dps. One with 40 blocks should be 200 dps then should it not, and the 160 should be 800 dps. How does it get to 400dps for...
