Server\'s still offline. Not a lot of people online when it was alive, either. Admins need to either do more to promote the server or just turn it off.

You\'re neglecting the incentive to invade another faction\'s space.

At a guess, It\'s probably to do with the one-station-per-sector rule. It\'d need to be a thing that\'s set before the first startup of the entire server so you don\'t end up with tons of stations in the same sector after you make the sectors bigger.

There\'s a lot of valid stuff being thrown around in here, so kudos for your dedication. Still, you\'re mistaken on your point about weapons control systems being splittable between weapons groupings. You can already do that kind of thing with \"v\" and \"shift+v\" when the appropriate weapons...

Disregarding the spacing of things and the spawn rate of shops, derelict stations, etc ... I could get behind expanding the demarcation points of sectors themselves. I mean ... a good weapon setup can fire beyond a range of 2km, which, depending on circumstances, is roughly the distance from...

... I\'ve decided there\'s a problem bigger than what kinds of ships are designed to do what vs other ships. Starbases are now helpless unless you just have one station and mark it as your faction\'s HQ. Even if you have 100,000,000 shield points in that thing, it\'ll just take longer to die...

Here is the technical data: - shield balance: -- capacity: (shieldBlocks*3.5)^0.66666)*350 -- recharge: (shieldBlocks*4)^0.48)*50 -- introduced recovery when hit (by shield blocks used)

That\'s kind of what he did. Plug his new math into a spreadsheet and make several lines where ships have different amounts of shields. You\'ll find that bigger ships have a smaller proportional regen per second as opposed to the smaller ones. Plus the smaller ones have a shorter on-hit delay...

... save it as a blueprint before you undock. You should always expect to lose your ship when you take it into combat, so just be ready to buy another copy of your masterpiece.

The eternal problem with most \"war\" systems on servers where there\'s less than 100 or so people online at all times is that war is usually declared just so the attacker can have some kind of vague reason to legally go hunt lone ships and pick them off while extracting tears for the lulz ...

As goofy as the end result is, I still think the current version is a step in the right direction. It\'s not GOOD yet, but it\'s an important step. The current math works out to small ships at least being able to do some damage and having a snowball\'s chance in hell of killing a titan...

Or, you know, zero regen as long as the guy keeps firing.

I have no idea how the AI is assigned to control these things, so I can\'t comment on your suggestion. I also believe the AI can use some tweaks, but I\'m of the mind that it\'s more in line with reducing the margin of error for firing accuracy and getting the AI\'s to use the actual weapon...

I have a lot of respect for the intent of the change, but it does have some issues. The shield regen rate is a little on the low side, especially given that there\'s an on-hit regen delay now. So, IMO, either dump the on-hit regen delay or boost the regen rate from it\'s post-patch state...

My private server generated this message the first time I edited a ship I bought from my own catalog. Not sure why.

All player bases can be destroyed unless they\'re marked as an HQ base. The HQ base is both indestructible and has its location marked for all to see. If you REALLY want to limit yourself to one starbase, then ... yeah ... you can\'t lose your territory, but you\'ll also be bottled up in one...

You guys don\'t cool.

\"UPD\" ... *mocking grin*

I could see a system similar to EVE Online (corp/alliance/coalition) where you can get your faction to join a guild which can join something else in a pyramid fashion. Problem being that I don\'t believe the average server population would really benefit from it unless people start forming a...
