Damage testing was never intended to be possible in the SSC. It was for testing purposes so that we could more quickly try different things. IMO, it shouldn't be possible to do damage testing in the SSC at all

The lack of organic PC's does have the aspect that the "entertainment" need isn't logical to provide. We could use cards, chess, etc for shipboard activity on long range patrols and such.

Nomads and Tactical have much better ships than Quevin. As does Subway.

Seems we agree on whether capital ships should exist in the game as described, and on how a warp drive is potentially needed.

How so?

Weird that it takes no power.

not at the moment, but, unless this has changed, that is the idea of what the end form will be.

I haven't heard of it before today. I'm curious about what it looks like, what it weighs, its energy needs, etc. Anyone have anything on it?

Someone inside your ship aims the turrets, but to allow mouse controls you would have to set up a whole system, instead of just linking them all on the same network. Also, you can create convergence. Many groups do that now. I just array my weapons for overlap lol. But having mouse controls...

Perhaps a better idea is a modular system for joined control of up to 5 turrets at one station that would be needed for mouse control of the turret system. Something large and bulky, and maybe even heavy and power hungry, that would enable large ships to utilize turrets better, while having...

Nothing he said to include for large ships would be barred from fighters.

They haven't put in a corrosion warhead yet I believe.

Not at the moment they don't.

Weapons currently can't pass about 1km. So orbital bombardment while technically possible will not be done from orbital distances. However, the best method to do it is torpedoes and missiles.

lol, what? Just because most player may not engineer their own ships doesn't mean that you can ignore the ships engineering. Default ships are trash, and even many shop ships are not designed to be very good at their jobs.

Ya... this isn't insulting at all... If you realize this and know this then why name your thread this? No, I don't support your idea on its basis. Paper rock scissors mechanics, giving a role where solo large ships are viable, etc. Also... If I were you, then you'd be me, and you'd dislike...

So... why are we nerfing armor more? Unless I'm misreading this.

The devs have literally said "no auto turrets". The OP admits he didn't explain himself properly. Even when someone else explained it properly, its not really a helpful mechanic still. Rock paper scissors is boring honestly. Large ships need to be made viable. This is probably not the way to do...

Maybe I should rephrase it as the turrets for larger ships should always be distinct from pilot controls. Maybe with a "gunner chair"?

You could make it so the pilot seat that controls piloting can't control tripods :unsure:
