I may have to try out the new weapons systems

Whats next empty space having mass? Seriously why did the mass get changed, this is sofa kingdom.

Yes consult the config and block files they hold much information.

Reactors have the 0.4 mass, chambers and stabilizers are 0.2 mass. Could increasing the mass of the reactors and removing stabilizers work?

Yes in the block config file, it is easy although a bit time consuming to change everything.

I don't like the stabilizer mechanic, it is currently easy to exploit. Put your stabilizers far away from your ship floating in space. Or make the dumbbell ship with some turrets. Some things I do like about the update. No more docked power, aside from spaghetti meta I think this was the...

When the thrust system was last updated there was a bug that alowed ships to accelerate without limit. It was fun and terrifying. But sector loading calculations are a limiting factor in maximum speed. Sector size is irrelevant when you reach 25000 m/s

Lancake Lecic makes a great point this math is already being calculated by the game. I had an idea similar to this that would calculate the connectivity of a ship, well more of an inverse but the math is the same really. Ultimately any number of nerfs could be placed on a ship for having too...

I don't want to live in a universe where everyone flies a shake weight. I don't think anyone does.

The Basics A battle miner with the wingy bits I like to but on ships. The interior is completely unfinished and the exterior needs another couple of detailing passes. But it is the most work this old hull has seen in more than a year. The fixed turrets were just kind of slapped on the hull...

Uploaded the BP of the hull and not the whole ship. It is now fixed. sorry

The Corvette version of the Manta is a reworking of the Red Black ship. The updated version has more detail and a much nicer overall shape (IMHO). The majority of the interior has been removed to make room for more systems. Most things on the ship are docked, the hull included. I don't like the...

I don't know if a sum of the connections would be a good idea but it could easily remove spaghetti ships from the game. Any normal ship is going to have an average number of connections around 5 per block where as a spaghetti ship would only have 2 per block. Consider the basic shapes you can...

Could a simple structural integrity mechanic be introduced? Each block can touch up to six other blocks. You could simply sum up the total number of block connections in a ship and you would have a reasonable idea of how interconnected the ship is. Blocks only touching two other blocks could...

I like this idea. It seems like a maximum reactor stabilizer distance could be implemented with little trouble if it were based off of block count or mass. Kind of like a Goldilocks zone for stabilizer distance. Lecic I am not even sure if you were thinking of a sliding scale for reactor...

nightrune is there any plans to make multiple groups of stabilizers serve the same reactor?

Ok I will have to test it with system a bit later when I get back.

With stabilizer blocks included we only get about 25 power out of each block. I think they might have made a decimal point error. Let the bug reports flow.

I was fairly certain it did not. So I made a small ship last night and tested the time it took to get up to top speed with varying amounts of thrust over the 2.5 ratio. It did take less time when the thrust was increased beyond the 2.5 ratio. I could be wrong I only did a few tests.
