Thank you both! Good to know. I'll revisit mining drones after some more future updates. I haven't played since a bit before power 2.0 got out of dev, and iirc I had working miners back then. I figured maybe something had broken in the interim since it had been so long, but I'm glad to be able...

~~ intro ~~ Hi, just looking to revisit this in a new thread as I've looked at the last six months or so of forum activity and haven't seen it discussed much. Most of the posts on this topic are quite old now, and I had some specific questions about mining drones that might have different...

You're wrong. I've played plenty of games before where things broke, or development was slow. That's pretty much every game ever, if you're given access to a game that's actively in development. I've never seen a prerelease game with such whiny, entitled players. If anybody thought that an...

Probably started with getting shit on any time something changes or breaks. This is the saltiest player base i've ever seen.

I'm playing the dev builds, same as anybody else. If i'm out of touch with the forum culture it's because the culture (just judging from these threads) is garbage. I come here specifically for updates on the new system, and there's enough trash to sift through that i have a hard time getting...

First, relevant dev power discussion: I dunno if it's me being forgetful or what, but it seems like the last time i played, my test station had 100% stabilization. Now it has just over 25% stabilization without any real changes to the reactor or stabilizers. It seems like they scaled down the...

You mean since each reactor has a limit to the number of chamber bonuses you receive, you bypass this by alternating reactors? That's an interesting feature of the new system that i hadn't thought about. Keep in mind it was a station, so mass (i.e. thrust) is not a limiting factor. Is...

It'll also be an unwieldy shape. The new shield rules make it harder to protect ships with extreme dimensions effectively. You can't protect the whole thing without making one giant shield generator, which is going to eat a lot of your power. Or you can break it up into several smaller ones, but...

If i want to put my reactor at one vertex and put stabilizers at the other end, yes, i could do this same shape with a much smaller stabilizer footprint. However, that makes my reactor much more vulnerable and my stabilizer bundle much less robust. Since there is bound to be a lot of empty space...

Qweesdy i'm unable to tell from your wording whether you were placing stabilizers at x% efficiency or if you were adjusting reactor size until your stabilization was at x%. There is a huge difference. Reactor blocks give a certain amount of potential energy. You reach that potential at 100%...

See NTIMESc's post. You probably don't need as much energy as you needed before to do the same stuff, and anyway, only one reactor is supported per entity. Having two 10M reactors is 10M energy regen, not 20M. Not sure if that impacts the stabilizer distance, but it might. It's not really a...

I definitely wish there was more graduated scaling on stabilizer distance, maybe so smaller ships get more leeway before ramping up the requirements. I mostly build small craft and they're either coming out so tiny they don't need any stabilizers, or stabilizers are taking up a significant...

I mean... different blocks have different armor values. Is that not the same thing?

Came here to make this exact suggestion, so i'm posting in this thread instead of starting a new one. Being able to move docked entities across entity boundaries would let me automate a lot of the steps in my shipyard making drones for a carrier. Using the shootout rail/return point thing...

Hmm, so i need to figure out what i'm doing wrong. I'm still struggling with the power thing a bit. The station i'm working on is going to be much, much bigger if i keep adding to my reactor. As it is i'm throwing on more stabilizers at ~40% efficiency, so if the reactor keeps growing i may have...

I've noticed in some situations i'm getting 0 active shield groups and 0 inactive shield groups, even though i clearly have one contiguous recharge group, with a bubble big enough to encompass all nearby capacitors. Not sure if i should mark it as a bug or if i'm just doing something wrong...

Dev builds are inherently buggy, as they're snapshots of the game while the devs work on big new updates. This particular line of dev builds are seeing a lot of activity because the power update is going to drastically change the game, and players 1) don't want to build on deprecated systems...

In the current dev build (v0.200.219) a ship with 100.0% reactor usage via chamber will behave as if it's overloaded. Specifically, i noticed on a small ship i'm using to test stealth. The chambers give permanent stealth, stealth level 4, jamming, and cloaking. This was working a few days ago...

Builds are coming out at least once a day now, and other than one buggy release a week or so ago it seems pretty stable. Release is imminent?

Dunno if it's just me, but opening my star map immediately crashes the latest build. (v0.200.193) Just came upon a sector full of stationary npc ships. It was creeping me out, so i admin despawned them and the game crashed again. They don't "want cubic reactors," and in fact one of the...
