Jasperagus, currently the meta is heavy fighters. I'm not sure if you've seen the talk about it, but many see that meta as an issue. I honestly think the devs want all ship types to be viable. Fighters, big ships, and carriers. How to make that happen though is the issue. The general problem...

Finding a powered down ship in general is a pain. At Robur you couldn't tell who was dead and who was just hanging around, so I wasted so much time killing dead ships.

As I said, the game world is enormous. The further you go, the less likely it is anyone will find you

All stations should have safe zones, so you could stop at a nearby one. Yes, the ship does remain in you logout in the fun part of the game world. Yes, it is vulnerable out there. The game world is so ridiculously large though that currently just being away from origin is a pretty good...

Its different now. I don't remember the exact dimensions though.

No pictures?! So much to look at after work 😁 And ships to redesign....

Um... there's no hinges specifically for stations.

Sometimes they let us personally recommend people for invites. So if you don't get your request here, just know that that does happen periodically and you could get your friends in.

Maybe power sources need to be larger? Most warships are equipment with living spaces smashed in where they fit. The power equipment is rather small comparatively. The increase in power usage by the thrusters is a good direction to go in that case.

I think another problem is that the lasers and autocannons are almost useless in comparison to the rail cannon and plasma cannon. 2 weapons you would think are for fighters are eskewed by people running fighters. Plus, Collectives ship they use is a tanky bugger, but its a box.

Its common in the real world for ships to be broken into weight classes. While I agree to the knee jerk "it's an arbitrary definition" Its my thoughts on the whole heavy fighter meta. You can slam a lot of pew into a small box... box... ugh.... Anyway, Ships will be getting larger over time, and...

I can understand that. Though a thrust increase would have been nice in that case lol. I have a standard generator pack that spits out 18000 eps at max. Its served well so far. It actually a lot more than I need, so I guess it only affects me in fuel. Which prop use did need an increase to be...

I guess I don't understand why. Like the RC I can get, but the thrusters?

They are OP for fighters. As the behaviors of armors and such are though? I wouldn't say the weapons effects are OP in general. Let's be fair, the turrets are in massive need for an overhaul, so I'm not sure whether this is a valid argument at the moment. That that I don't see your point. I'm...

I expected splosions. Splosions were had.

Honestly, I don;t think rail cannons should be a viable weapon on a fighter sized craft. I would argue that the rail cannon is much too small, and doesn't eat enough power. Their strength is fine though. Some things definitely need higher power draw. I don't think making large ships fast is...

We really need weapons designed to mitigate small ships. And the last thing we need is large ships that fly like small ships. So something needs to be done on that front as well.

Its fairly easy to go back and forth.

I can understand the annoyance of all or nothing armoring. In real life, it served a very meaningful purpose for warships. However, on the weapons, I think the devices are literally made of the materials they list in the SSC for what is in them. Meaning they have those materials properties...

All or nothing is a legitimate method of armoring, and even with this idea, would be the case. I can't agree with thrusters being so weak. Short battles are no fun.
