Thanks for that! :) I was really having a hard time figuring out exactly what the mechanics were. I kinda sorta knew most of what you said, but I wasn\'t entirely sure if that was the case, and I certainly didn\'t know the numbers behind it. And I\'m now aware that the sponge is only just...

The capped is just as, and allows for the same concept of two checkerboard layouts of two different blocks. The only difference is the two ends, which, if you read the edit note at the bottom of the Capped Checkerboard section, you\'ll see that it\'s a simple matter of replacing the two ends of...

First off, I\'d like to say that I do appreciate the feedback, and even more so that you included your own test results in that feedback. Now, what you said is true, but it only applies to ships at a certain scale range, but once you get that big you need a much larger recharge rate than...

From my tests it\'s either the sponge or the capped checkerboard, however one of my friends told me that the checkerboard is better than sponge at much larger scales that I only touched on. If you\'re going for maximum recharge rate in a set volume without worrying about block count (block count...

Again, that\'s not what my tests indicated. I\'m not saying your wrong, but just try replacing the two ends of the checkerboard with caps similar to mine and see if there\'s a significant difference. If you don\'t numbers to be significant enough for your liking, or you just like doing it your...

After testing a 5 x 5 x 5 cube of both the sponge and capped checkerboard, I found that the sponge is better, though only just. Further testing is needed, but it is likely that a cubic sponge is better than a cubic capped checkerboard. However, my earlier examples with rectangular prisms still...

Btw most of these tests took place last night and earlier today, so the numbers are correct as of v0.09378; build 20130709_211349.

Unfortunately, what you\'re saying does not match up with everything that I\'ve tested. I\'m not trying to sound like a stuck up prick, but I\'m guessing you didn\'t even bother reading any of it. You could have at least looked at the volume I was using as my examples and the numbers that were...

That\'s a single line from the checkerboard pattern. And if you can only afford to have a 1 x 1 x whatever sized layout on your ship, that is the most efficient engine. Like I said towards the beginning, these are meant for medium to large size ships.

So many of you who play this game and are seasoned may not need to read this as you have likely found the best layouts for your power block engines. However, just as many people likely, like me, have been unable to find anything useful as far as layouts for engines beyond the tutorials posted by...
