I'd point you at my v3 thread, Zistack for a concept that hits all the technical requirements while being more open-ended in execution.

FFS, really? Then there isn't even a point in having siege mechanics, safezones should just stay on permanently. There's no point in trying to compromise if that's your best answer.

Salient points 1. Integrating economic zones sounded interesting, depending on how they work relative to player stations reverting to a basic range with or without some type of enhancer module might be more appropriate. 2. Cost of wardec is making the siege station vulnerable with the reprisal...

Core conceit: invading forces use a large structure to enable siege gameplay Primary goal: merge the standard safezone mechanics with Recatek's siege mechanics while keeping the spirit and intent of both Secondary goal: create opportunities for "grand strategy" and enmesh sieges with various...

So the inhibitor, in your vision, is a station that's not a station, needs to be towed around, and now has be captured with infantry to be stopped? Where's that part about it needing a corrosion bubble so it can't be protected by a civilian shell-ship? Like, if you need to cap it to stop the...

I still reject the inhibitor mechanic in favor of the fleet ratio mechanic, I might be amenable to siege windows, but it's super-gamey and I'd rather avoid it in favor of literally anything else that could work in its place. In making an attacking fleet, which is needed to trigger the siege, a...

When engagements get hyper evasive and form an ouroboros it's a signal neither side really wants to fight and they should disengage, forcing the gameplay into a configuration where it must conclude in victory or defeat is not only stale, it breeds stupid tacticians.

Y'know... they could seriously provide decent test data for any of my designs if their... haha, reputation is anything to go by.

building, designing, processing/mining, moving troops across a battlefield according to a plan that died when we made contact with the enemy? such is good in life

The only other kind of smuggling is shipping goods through a battlefront, but that requires two companies as large as factions (or large alliance of them) to be able to create an interdicted front. And even then the offense would be shipping through the front without having permission, so your...

Good point, my reference is mostly Warthunder and their derived stats, if pressed I would've dropped my upper range down to 200m/s- but, and this is the best part of your point, energy loss while turning/climbing would bring things down a lot closer to 100-150m/s and the way space jam and...

Because it covers the speed ranges applicable to all of WWII combat, which is generally where the fun-zone is for dogfighting. 150m/s is the beginning frame of reference for that zone.

it was probably lauri on discord or somebody quoting him, all that was said was that wheels with continuous tracks would be easy to do, no other details

free-floating particles or "voxel cloudlets" might be a better approach than simulated gaseous airtightness checks, I like that- as for raycasts, maybe some kind of transition potential between the particles and/or certain ship systems, so instead of being directly targeted all the time you also...

pre-fire beam only makes sense on stuff like a spartan laser-esque design, everything else isn't internally consistent- however, I can see the plasma rifle having some kind of visible static field for a half-second between hitting the trigger and firing, rockets have a lower velocity and a...

devs have already stated they can implement tracked wheels (possibly with some kind of dynamic track linking feature) fairly easy, it's just a matter of how far down it is on the priorities list

they'd work like triangle thrusters, additional device bases hooked up to a single "meta-plate" would only be there for increased anchoring and power-supply redundancy

agreed, the expected geometric increase of thrust requirements to meet the speed cap should continue doing that job of controlling how many ships reach maximum velocity decently

Less a gas giant and more like a ringed Venusian or Hot-Earth, so trying to land on Eos probably means flying into chemically-active diamond storms, which completely justifies it being a kill-zone.

I'd love if performance increases could get us up close to 300m/s, but we laready have the problem that missiles (rockets) travel at 150m/s and torpedoes are slower and seem to be the first type of self-guided non-player "ship" (that explodes (intentionally)). Raising the speedcap means...
