You kind of make his point. New reactors should have never been released ahead of new weapons, because one can not be designed without the other. At this point there's nothing really useful to do other than refitting civilian ships and bases (which only took a few days).
Im saying you can use the time to get comfortable with the new system, so you can easily build something reliable when the weapons update comes out. Learn how you can best set up chambers, which combinations works best and so on.
Just do what I do/attempt to do (terribly), build giant ship shells and fill them with interiors. Don't forget to leave room for systems, though.
Who, me? 50/50. I actually have yet to really complete any ships yet, but a couple I have been working on lately are more than half a kilometer long (one is already more than a kilometer). They're both very very early in the building stages though, as I'm more of a logic person than a builder. It's very slow work for me, actually. I come up with ideas and work on them (usually without much planning) until I exhaust my drive to work on them, and then move on to the next project until I decide to come back. The biggest problem for me is making everything look right. Interiors are pretty easy for me, but the actual exteriors look terrible or in some cases never happen. It is enjoyable, though. I love making a bunch of big builds and making them look cool. And for the record, the only thing I've actually completed so far on the 1km build is the main thruster group in the very back (which clock in at a length of 350m or so).
Its how I build many times. Unless I know that there is specifically going to be a rigidly shaped system (like a salvage array) that I have to design around, I'll build the shell first and then add systems as needed.
I totally build this way. But then again I'm not a hard core PVP'er so it is what it is. I start off with a Shell, then I do interior, then I do Systems, then balancing. There's no wrong way to build a ship. :D
My bad, I misunderstood you. The truth is, I don't know how to build with power 2.0 I haven't really had much of a reason to try it out yet. Will keep this conversation in mind when I crank up StarMade again.
Did you fill out a bug report for any of those things yet? If not, that's probably why they haven't been fixed.
now i miss the funny rating
Excuse me but its not within my interests to spend 20 minutes (minimum for straight and clear cut ones) writing a bug report to then have them spit back 5 days later (Yes, it can take this long as a MINIMUM for feedback - I've sometimes waited months) that "Oh, we already knew this issue".
