Well... what I read is that civilian capital ships can be used for military purposes, but that they'll be hindered somehow. So I don't think we'll be seeing a ban on them being used this way. Honestly, this comes back to a debate and problem that arose earlier in development when the devs said...

I believe myself, Kenetor, and Moneyloo all have access and are all trying to better the game. Quevin has a bad reputation, justly deserved many would say, that harms any point he makes. However our points are that he's embellishing and doomsaying with no basis for it. It's alpha. You want to...

The game isn't PvE focused. What on earth gave you that idea?

I applaud you Moneyloo. That was an epic and logical retort to Quevin's silliness. The game isn't ready. This is abundantly clear. We all know it. Its not a secret. Part of that is that its not even supposed to be. I'm concerned, but doom abd gloom is overboard. Which to be fair is a typically...

Max speed in any direction is 150. Doesn't matter your angle.

Guys, I do think we all should recognize that all of this is open to change, and them telling us now will make it so we can all work together to make a better mechanic.

The civilian capital ships being pretty much invincible is a problem for sure. I'm willing to wait on more details and perhaps restrictions beyond being unable to warp into the belt. Which, to be fair guys, is fairly limiting. Most stations will likely be in the belt, and an in belt station...

A primary core would be a nice addition, where we can add code directly, but its not removable easily from the ship. Which would risk its capture.

The ore detector exists in game exactly how you described.

That is a lot of extra useless weight honestly.

I would say the FoV should be configurable. A way to pull off a volumetric radar would be cool. The rangefinders are just rays, and honestly not at all useful for detection. Also, if its not at least a 10 km range, it pretty much useless. I can think of uses for infrared (heat) and...

If more parts were internal, it would be nice. That and turrets that could be fully enclosed. Enclosing a turret is a pain. But, just because something is large doesn't mean its unable to be used on a turret. I've suggested personally adding a fairly large turret base that has a hatch space in...

The lines and floating point errors are the worst. I had to resnap an entire frame because there's a little rotation every so often when you copy and paste a part.

I wanted to get to this actually. I don't think its necessarily bad for weaponry to stop working at the loss of a seat and its occupant. I think many would actually like being able to have a player be able to fire from a CIC, which is frankly much, much easier to design around. However, thus...

I don't disagree on requiring them to suck down more power. I'm pretty sure you don't mean to be so aggressive, but I think you know I agree with most of what you say here Calen. I do think size and mass should also factor in. Powerful weapons should be heavy, large, and meant for larger...

What about a limit of weapons per seat filled by a player? Just throwing it out there. I haven't thought about anything specific on it.

Item size and mass effects center of gravity and ship design in general. If its a massive large gun, it means massive and large ships.

None of the examples presented used 6-10 cannons, much less tank and flak ones, though. Their weight and degradation to fighter performance were a factor.

Dev run.

So, these are just my thoughts and a little bit of a view I'm having as an alpha tester, versus what my knowledge of the devs vision is. I've not participated in a lot of fights in the last few months, but I recently dueled the infamous Subway and Solon from Collective. My take away from it...
