Awesome!

Oh yaaaaaasss

It sounds like you fixed that turret power bug and made piloting big ships from a PowerPoint presentation to a home movie in terms of FPS and quality.

Also, I think your bugfixing and optimizations will have a very profound impact on the meta as now people can use arrays of cannon-cannon-10%Explosive without making the game chug and having the enemy glitch away from your stream of bullets.
And let's not forget Missile cannons and Cannon missiles now :D

Now we also need to run more tests to see how beam beams do at range, cause you mentioned that they were improved somehow? Or was that in block destruction? (Which is also appreciated).

Just as I logged out, time to log back in.

>cause you mentioned that they were improved somehow? Or was that in block destruction?

that was block destruction, yes. Both cannon and damage/salvage beam profit from it.

Raise yer Doom Beams

 

[StormWing0]

hmm I still lag looking at the default pirate stations but that might be my low amount of ram talking there.

 

[nightrune]

I think... I'm gonna be itching for a fight now.

 

[Napther]

Wooo, my laser beam turrets of death now wont chug a server when its destroying 10 thousand blocks a second...

 

[NuclearFun]

all those optimizations... i suspect black magic

 

[Trekkerjoe]

I take it that servers will be able to run more smoothly now? This makes me happy.

 

[Lecic]

Homebases still seem to cause a lot of lag when people dock and undock, but I'm glad that servers and clients won't die anymore when a bad pilot crashes into someone. Do you think it'd be possible to fix homebase docking lag at some point, schema ?

 

[Malacodor]

All those optimizations make the coders of other, less smoothly running games look bad. Maybe each dev team should employ at least one cat.

Great news !

 

[Edymnion]

But... but... what will the "They never fix old problems, just introduce new ones!!!" people do now?

You're taking away their ability to complain, and that salt was the only thing keeping them going!

 

[Sgtwisky]

All hail the optimizations ! Now my mining ships that was built to mine when other players were online without lag can be built at least 2x as big! Time to swallow asteroids in one volley instead of 3 !

With 600 unresolved bugs that's not an issue. :p

 

[StarWars1981]

Niiiiice. I'm one of the ones who's going to enjoy these optimizations, cause I can lag a home server with 200m ships duelling with one other player online. Plus a couple AI vessels. Also, loading into it is not fast.

 

[Winterhome]

Core drilling returns!

Everyone, equip your ships with explosive machineguns until the next hotfix or implementation of alternate pilot chairs!

W00t! Faster chunk loading is something I've been needing for a few days. =D
