    1. Offer to make different sizes of bullets, missiles, beams in accordance with their sizes. In order not to overload the computer, you can increase the size of every dozen or a hundred blocks.
    2. Everyone who built large ships, there were problems with the destruction turret to break through the shields of the ship (which usually has no guns). Therefore, I propose to make a joint ship's shield and his turret. The same thing I suggest to do with the energy.


    P.S. I'm Russian, and used a translator. Sorry if wrongly used words.

    This is already in the works along with new effects for different weapon combinations, I believe.

    No, it isn't certain what will happen to bullet size. The future seems a bit brighter though for turrets sharing shields witht the mothership.

    I was just saying that the chances are a bit higher for turrets to partially share shields (most likely regen) with the mothership than the chances are that bullets/beams/etc. get bigger.

    Projectiles had different sizes prior to the weapons update, so I'm quite sure it'll get re-implemented.

    Really? IF so, I'm going to have to change my previous post. Bigger weapons would just look incredible. Maybe large salvage arrays could then get a use when they salvage a lot of blocks a once. Would be cool.

    Where do you get that idea?

    It's just my on logic based opinion. I feel that turrets need to share shields or defense in some way more than we need bigger bullets/beams, which is why I said that.

    Turrets not sharing shields with motherships is completely intentional and isn't an implementation thing (considering that they can already share the main ship's power).

    However, beam/missile size actually has to be implemented. So the chances of us getting that first are infinitely higher than shared shields.

    IIRC, Cal mentioned that he might (might, not will) look into making small turrets share some shields because they're currently too squishy.
