Does that mean that the crates with the fun lids are out? I remember there being some issues with their usage.

Oh, I really enjoyed that! I thought the juxtaposition of the sun dipping behind the moon and the stars becoming visible as RK-13 begins to explore their awareness and their place in the universe was a really nice touch: one massive, obscuring light fracturing into a billion smaller ones, as...

Oh my goodness that is a pretty cat! Chat cat has some serious competition now. Welcome to our world, and good luck with #general-chat! :b

Further balancing should probably wait until armor materials are in, but I'm all in favor of weapons fire adding stress to the frame - and potentially recoil forces, as well. It's a little odd to be firing a 30mm autocannon and have it remain perfectly static.

Echoing what Calen said; my 'subconstruct' builds generally benefit from an extremely lightweight frame (see: as few beams as possible).

This would be absolutely wonderful to have as an idea, but I think loading an additional 28 beams might be a bit.. much?

Hahaha, nope! Just some technical missteps.

That's not rate limiting. Discord was experiencing some difficulties earlier today.

I didn't care for coordinates before, but having had difficulties meeting up with people beyond the safezone it does seem like something might be needed. However, I still don't want precise coordinates. I'd much rather see a map function on the u-tool, with a 3D representation of the known game...

The rotation buttons are XYZ (hold one) and move the mouse. It's a bit awkward.

Asteroids come in a variety of material types with different densities, but even beyond that, we're in a fantasy realm: it's entirely plausible that these ship thrusters are more than suited to moving large rocks at high speeds.

You can always add extra mechanics, but I wouldn't say that inhibitors encourage "hurry up and wait" gameplay, or suppress any kind of emergent gameplay. The attackers have a vested interest in blockading the station they've placed their inhibitor at, to starve the station of supplies and ships...

The Hedron goes some ~130m/s. Until warpgates are in, long-distance travel will indeed be quite the time sink.

Think you guys oughta cool down a bit, as this is just a suggestion thread for a concept that may never see the light of day. To that end, though, I think this would work extremely well as a foundation for safezone mechanics: objectives and spice of life changes can be added and subtracted to...

As far as I'm aware, space jam is a constant force exerted on all objects in the universe, inversely proportional to mass: light objects slow down quickly, while heavy objects maintain inertia for longer; but, they are always affected and slowing down, without any grace period or delay.

Yeah, give-and-take would be a good way to implement this, I think. FMJ would have the standard characteristics, and each extra type of ammo could balance on heat generation, range (or lifetime), velocity, and dispersion.

That's hardly a fair position to take. Being able to take input and constructive criticism and then apply it to your work is an indicator of an open mind, not a lack of vision.

Every time I think I'm set on a concept (in this case, on-board respawns), someone here opens my eyes and changes my mind. It's exhausting :b Perhaps that respawn thread should be revived (pun intended eyy)

As far as I'm aware, it is. While Frozenbyte has a scalable server solution if needed, the majority (if not all) of simulation is handled client-side by the owner of object, or otherwise the 'next best' client, which is then passed on to its peers. It would be entirely infeasible for them to...

Sorry, I misunderstood. In that case, I don't know that I'd agree with any of the poll options (no offense intended, of course). Invisible walls should always be discouraged, in my opinion, but one-way fire control (a la option #1) is a wholly inequitable solution. I don't necessarily agree that...
