IMO small station without some form of offline protection would be pretty much useless. It wouldn't offer anything more than cluster of factory ships left in space. And despite being small, they still need several hours of work. So not many people will want to gamble with something they can't...

The large gen looks to be the same size as plasma thruster (6x6x6m) So if they are equally mass efficient as small gens, that's around 300k power. So with current limits, you'll never need more than one per ship (unless you're mass-printing). IMO it's more interesting to design ships with few...

As Ville mentioned in DIscord, the values on wiki are outdated (i.e. railgun is ~65/1400, not 31/1000). So I'd wait with those calculations until he updates them. May be worth reminding him tomorrow in his work-hours wit a ping. Anther thing is often ignored (due to current fighter meta) that...

If you have 2 and one gets blown up, the other can't work or you'll spin in circles. For that kind of redundancy you need at least 3 in one line. So when one of the side ones blows up, the middle can still work (and vice versa)

And how you gonna enforce it? Can't buy over-gunned ship from SSC -> add some balast to cut off after leaving SSC (then recycle it) Ship can't move if it has too many guns per mass -> during battle your ship can become stationary after loosing one plate, if you were close to the edge. Or a...

Then you wasted a lot of their potential. They get MUCH better the longer they are. I wouldn't consider second plasma before I need 20 rings in total. And that's more than you need to push max volume ship. Maybe except some extreme cases, like huge CLB hauler.

I agree that over-gunned ships are bad. But I see some problems with that approach: 1. It's based on artificial limits of a single block per ship. Transponder limiter is QoL limit (so people don't spam them to annoy everyone around), not a balance approach. Hard limits like that tend to...

Support for connecting multiple plasma thrusters? We don't have enough voxel volume to use even one to its full potential...

Most likely. And devs will be recording it too. It'll happen within few weeks.

Right now we're preparing for community event: tank battle, using hover script. But those tanks will be effective only due to strict rules of the event forbidding any airforces.

Yes, radiation detector is planned. So if you're running big generator or carrying a lot of radioactive ore you can be detected from very long distance. Lauri said up to 1000km in extreme cases. Complete stealth will be still possible using batteries, but those won't get you too far.

I think mouse control will shake the meta quite a bit. With longer reliable engagement range heavy fighters may have problems leading small nimble ships. And light fighters dying really fast at short range, as they unpredictable movement won't help them as much as now. And maybe torps will get...

Current rail movers go 1 m/s... that's whooping 6 times slower than walk speed. They can also hold very little mass. And when you use more than 1, you'll have problems taking turns (because there are no free-moving hinges)

I could see several reasons for the balance pass: 1. Make supply routes more important 2. Make ship prop storage more important part of ship design. Before prop/rods were too small parts to be even considered as balance factors 3. Make manoeuvring thrusters less OP. They used to have 2x better...

There are in-game ways of saving your ship. If you can leave your PC running when you go AFK, you can use autopilot to bring your ship back to safezone. It requires a lot tinkering, and is still risky, but it's an valid option. The beauty of persistent world is that most things stay there all...

Cons: 2x longer reload, worse accuracy, worse recoil compensation, no aiming down sight. Pros: if you can't afford assault rifle, it almost reaches it's dps. On one hand, why not? On the other hand.... why? I'd rather focus gameplay features around having one hand free than making poor-mans...

They are in game since like.... forever. I suggest watching through official videos

You don't have to hold right click to look around. Tab switches between cursor and free-look mode, just pike in actual game. I agree on up/down binding. Or even better, just let as bind all of it like other controls

It is doable, even if a bit clunky. ATM there are no explosives directly linkable to yolol, except missiles, torpedoes and guns pointing at reactors. All those are rather big and expensive, so such auto-destruction would cost quite a lot (mass, power, credits and resources). Password...

Not possible ATM. You can edit yolol fields with Universal Tool, but only of you aim directly at the device you want to edit. Yuo also need to select the field and type the value, which takes time. But! There are remote explosives, which can be used to blow up some part of your ship, which may...
