Please, NO. Shooting at inanimate HP bar is boring. It's PVP game, not player vs door. It doesn't serve the main function of station protection, which is preventing offline raids. Someone with enough dakka can bring it down before station defenders log back in. It ignores one of the unique...

Devs said that most components will be available for ships as well. So it should be possible. But would it be really viable? It depends on storage space and mass needed for carrying ready-made mines/fighters vs space and mass needed for required materials/components + all the machinery required...

Currently stacking more tanks/reactors doesn't increase blast radius. Unless you space them over wide area, which makes you easier target. But also easier to hit. Also armour doesn't decrease it, so no need for opening armour in front. So you'd probably want an 12m stick with single rod...

I like the idea of out-bidding someone's lot. We have limited amount of (well located) lots on dev-owned stations. Also inflation/deflation is a thing, so prices shouldn't be static to begin with. But IMO it should put more costs and restrictions on the new lessee. 1. They should pay the...

But it works on Proton.

Comparing your top tier fighter to something more relatable IRL seems more suitable than sport cars. As somebody said in the alpha thread, just switch zeros to K, M, G, T. 1. NPC vendors are, and should IMO remain, exclusive to starting (dev owned) stations. So it won't balance economy in the...

Great news! Could we get in some not too far future SSC on the moon (with gravity and moon surface), to be able to design all kind of related ships?

It depends on how close to each other you live. If nearby it'd be playable. If far (i.e. different continent) lag for one of you would be terrible. I'd avoid it for now, and focus on cargo beams/frame based systems.

ATM it would kind of work. Kind of, because after separation they'll still be considered single ship by the game. That means single host for all of them (==input lag for all other pilots) and if you fly too far from the "main" ship, the "debris" ship will get despawned. But physics-wise each of...

Welded heresy :D Woo-ho! AH, mass resource transfer and ship ownership sounds great too

Saltberia is a prison for people griefing in starting safe zone. Admins can send people there, not players.

There is already one guy who runs SB on linux, and apparently it just works. Or maybe it's through wine or sth. @Lunar here, @Lunar#8814 on discord

Instead of weekly limits, I'd go for more randomisation of work. I.e. spawn asteroids in random location in the hall, randomly rotate ships in demolition (and spawn random type, rather than selecting the most money efficient), same for Ikea (if it's coming back) and repair job.

Can endo even pick up such big crate to snap it in place? Also I personally think that shapes other than perfect cubes are way cooler, even if slightly harder to work with. I.e. 72x72x144, 144x144x144, 144x288x432, 288x432x576, 432x576x864

There was talk about ships being abandoned automatically after certain time of being out of reach of the owners. So scrappers could just tow the ship to their lair. It may also happen that ownership is stored in a single device (i.e. transponder).

There was already discussion about it. While it may kind of work now, there is no way to make it work once the floodgates of early access open. There will be just too many ships to really find anything. SB Wiki discord may be a good place to get more info what, how and why https://discord.gg/Gryy3yc

I have velocity, ROF and endo damage in the chart already. You're right about calculating projectile energy and calibre. Although dunno if those formulas are still up to date. Recoil and accuracy can be tested by just shooting at something. But that's a lot of work to test all of them. So would...

I'm pretty sure they do know. Forum is quiet enough that you can easily follow all new messages. But... @VilleFB could we get current hidden weapon statistics, like accuracy (min and max), how much it drops in motion, recoil, projectile velocity and diameter of bullet holes?

Seeing as armour system is being worked on, I think it's good time to post my balance ideas. I worked on 3 different things, as they are all closely connected: infantry weapons, ship weapons and ship armour. I'll start with ship armour. Ship armour system should be more tied to voxels than...

Cooling cells serve the purpose of increasing thermal mass. Ideally, the entire ship should act as thermal mass as well, which would indirectly help larger ships against gunchairs.
