It has been a while since I last made a suggestion. Both of these suggestions relate to turrets AI and function. 1: Add an option that will allow the turret to prioritize larger or smaller targets (Much the same way it does high or low damage missiles. [this could be designated by block count...

Well the only way to find out is to make one of your own using the current code set. Then take out what does not work, and find a solution to the issue. Though this may not end in an exact replica, it may be as good. So give it a shot and see what happens.

Except, that neither the power update nor the weapons updates invalidated all shells, as this form of update would cause 100% of all shells/ships/stations/planets/asteroids to be redesigned form the ground up. Which would be akin to starting over from the beginning.

The Devistator fighter chassis has been refitted from simple strike craft to multi-roll scout fighter/bomber. Dimensions: 33L, 16H, 24W. Each sport over 40k+ shields, a level 3 stealth drive, a level 3 Recon Drive. Upper and lower AMS turrets. The Scout Fighter mounts a Auto cannon under...

I was thinking about deep frying it, but then I realized that might not work. In all actuality though you can get a few good turrets on a ship that size, some Arc beam (Beam/Missile) and some rapid cannon (Cannon/Cannon) are also not bad choices, though Beams weapons seem to be where its at for...

There seems to be two different Scanning systems, one is the old Scanner Computer and Antenna combo that does not seem to function correctly with the new power set up. The other is what I like to refer to as the combat scanner which is a reactor chamber, or series of chambers. I may be doing...

Again I was testing this against what I felt I would encounter in a solo survival game. As for a PvP setting I could test against bigger missiles types. Of course I had wanted to create a good foundation before jumping into larger systems to get a handle on how things interact. Admittedly a...

Those were 3 blocks per barrel and 3 for slave, no effects. so total 6/3

I was retro fitting some older PD turrets last night, and I learned some interesting things. For some reason having barrels on opposite sides of turret base cause the turret (under A.I.) to target backwards (just as if the computer was in backwards) I tried re-orientating the weapons computer...

Thank you for the information, at least what I was seeing was supported by math. We shall see if this gets revisited in a future patch, Other than that I can see how this can be used to stop Missile spam. Oh well the systems I have now still hits like a brick so :)

Cool but if a fighter drops a bomb would it not be a bomber?? :) Maybe a fighter bomber... Things to consider

So I gutted the whole refit, and started over, what I found was in a small craft (>30x30) getting a missile storage to 2 missiles was easy, however anything over that took massive amounts of Storage. For a 6 missile system consisting of 18 total blocks it took nearly 20 blocks of Missile Storage...

So I was retro fitting one of my fighters last night and I ran into what I can only call a missile issue. This fighter has six total (3 block missile weapons), each with a beam slave so that they are lock on, so the total system is around 36 blocks not counting the computers. What I noticed is...

So after getting both the target and the main ship in the same sector I got it to work, one heck of a hole too. Thanks for the help, though we will likely need to get this reported as a Main cannon should not be a point blank weapon.

Maybe that is the issue it may be a cross sector thing, I will need to continue testing it. Still boggles my mind that regular beam works just fine, but the combo is not atm.

As the title states I was wondering if this is an issue. I was testing out a Main cannon design, in this case (Beam+Beam 100%) and it will knock the shields off the target no question, but it does zero block damage. I tried the main gun without any slaves and it worked fine, but as soon as I...

I agree that for PD to be more viable there needs to be a reason, but my logic is that for larger cap ships some PD is going to be needed as PD will fire at and wreck Bombs. Though I did see that all weapon ranges were normalized so three of four PD's can hit a missile even if the missile was...

27 blocks was what I used at 100% slave. That should be close. I did notice that when the missile did get to its target if it had taken any shield damage it seemed to do less damage, the more shield hits the less damage, but I need to test this more as it could have been hitting two shield bubbles.

As many know, the new weapon update has added a new feature to missiles, in this case shields and the more powerful the missile the greater the shield on it. I have been playing around with different Point Defense (PD) turrets. What I have learned I hope to pass on. First, Beam based PD does...

So I have been testing out the new weapon systems and was working on building a main cannon for one of my WIP. I placed down a 5x5 square of beam blocks, set the center most one as main emitter, and tested it out hoping that the beam would be bigger than just one block. However, it seems that at...
