      Powering/shielding docked entities: Test results about something undesirable(?)

      Had some questions about the details of how power/shields work with docked entities, and did some experimentation for the answers. Sharing the results for those still unaware of these details, as well as to suggest a change (which seems much-needed and straight-forward, at least to me). Have a...

      Shield bypassing 2.0

      The following is a proposal similar in many ways to one I gave quite some time ago, but also, different in quite a few fundamental aspects. With the power system moving on to a (much better) more recharge rate oriented functioning, I thought, why not have the shield system shift over as well...

      Shields, regen and bypassing

      The new shield system is really nice interesting - except for the fact that shields now do not regenerate on fire. There are obvious reasons for this kind of system, BUT while this feature prevented ships from relying only on high regeneration, now the only possible way to effectively protect...

      Structural Integrity??? How does that work?

      I've started to play a lot more with creative inventory to test out all of these different factors that go into making a ship. And by far the one that has me the most puzzled is structural integrity. I've looked for help on the wiki but it seems outdated on that topic. Can someone at least begin...

      Shields and Power, What the heck?

      I've been playing for 3 days now and I 'm having trouble finding consistency as to how these two things work. (Along with a few other things) Here are a few questions I have: When I add too many Shield Capacitors and Rechargers to a ship, the integrity of the entire ship reduces dramatically as...

      Shield Shape Based on Block Shape

      The fixed shape of shields limits the shape you can build a ship if you want it all protected. A way to fix this could be make the shape of the shields be dependent on the shape of the shield blocks. If you build a 100 x 10 x 10 shield group, then the shield bubble would be elongated (prolate...

      Bug Shield not fully protecting

      Created a new ship, went to do a test run on a pirate station, had to retreat because my hull was being scattered even tho my shield was still up at 80%. I double checked, and my shields is way larger than the ship itself so that shouldn't be the issue here, especially since the hull got...

      Koyne_One_Attacker 2017-12-09

      It's an attacker that uses missiles, the missiles are followed along with explosion modules in the tertiary. And Power is put to good use, reload time and Power refill time are pretty even also with thrusters at max. The inside has some decoration but the ship itself is not symmetric. The ship...

      [power 2.0] Docked Armor (not shields) solutions and ideas

      So I am just currious if you guys (pvpers) have any ideas on how to approach this problem. It seemed to be an critique worthy point on the new system, and I am very interested on how other players think about this problem and possible solutions. So here is my first idea on how to solve it: If...

      How turret shield works?

      Turrets receive 100% of ship shields? Shield in turret only protect the turret? Ship shield recharge will recharge shield capacitor in turrets? Ship ion will affect turret shield? Turret shield recharge will recharge shield capacitor in ships?

      Swarm Missles radius to small

      Good evening ! Im currently trying to implement an Swarm Missle as an Anti-Fighter Weapon, the only problem is, that the radius of explosion is to low (only 6 meters). So i added 100% explosion Modules to it and it went to 14 meters radius. But its still to small. Is there a way to push the...

      Something That Most Of Us Want But Not Exactly

      I like what Valiant70 said but no. Some people have build ships and used glass blocks as bubble shield. My Idea The bubble shields work like that using the square and different corner blocks in the game but instead we use blocks like the cargo space blocks you can go through them but they are...

      Planetary Shields Idea

      Simple. Build a massive spire of (adv armour covered) power and shields (alot alot alot of shields) on one plate. Build out from that plate with a 3 thick layer of forcefield. Cover planet with forcefield (above the planet, not ON the planet). On your main plate, build a control station that...
