That's how space warfare is, those cannons were meant to shoot down missiles, usually it'd attack from long range with torpedoes and never even get close to gun range. As I recall, they were sneak attacking a station with far more firepower than their own ship, so their only hope was to get in close where they could use their maneuverability.

Obviously there's no stealth in space (there is in The Expanse, but not complete stealth), but they shut down all the power and drifted, with the ship behind them claiming a cargo pod had came loose and that they were chasing after it.

>>167305452
Both of those were also small ships so a lack of armour is given. In the show, larger vessels can take a severe beating before being destroyed, and the black one was a "stealth ship", so I would wager that it was designed to avoid direct fire rather than to take it.

Realised using addressable memory for reading the punched cards 1 bit at a time is a waste of CPU and geoms. The bottleneck is just going to be the single full adder, so I can speed things up and make it more efficient by reading the card and putting it into memory all at once, and only using addressable memory to read the numbers off the register/extract the result. Any actual transfers between cards/registers can be done in bulk, with 8 bits at a time.

>>167305987
Good luck locking onto a target that doesn't appear on your sensors that is also outside of visual.
The "stealth" part of the "stealth ships" is there for a reason.

>>167305987
Direct fire from guns at least can be easily avoided given enough distance, it's missiles and shit that you need active defenses to take down. The stealth ship clearly had such defenses, those guns are point defense cannons.

>>167305257
Wouldn't the trails move in the same direction as their heads when the ship moves?
Otherwise it's magical shipboard gravity that only works when the ship is moving.

>>167306645
No, the ship has a floor plan like a skyscraper. The floor leads towards the engine, the roof leads towards the front, rather than horizontal floors you find on most sci-fi ships.

>>167306645
Nah the movie doesn't pull any hard scifi shit like artificial gravity or FTL drives or anything. The interior is oriented 90 degrees to the length of the ship, so when the main thruster fired, the force went down relative to how they were sitting.

That sounds okay in theory, but I imagine it would be worse off in general.

I figured out a fairly serious Avorion bug, the one where the server fails and deletes the ship.
What happens is that, when you enter a sector, the game first saves to the player .dat the information with your current ship and the coordinates of the current sector, but it doesn't immediately save the sector itself, so it won't list your current ship as being in that sector.
Ergo, if you say that you are in that sector in said ship, but it doesn't actually exist in that sector, you have no ship.

The fix is very simple as long as you back the world up directly after the server failure and exitting the game. The information of the ship is still in player.dat, it just isn't in the sector. Once you enter the game with that mismatching data again, it will erase all data of your ship along with its turrets and systems from your player .dat since it obviously doesn't exist, and has to be an error.
If you've backed it up, then all you have to do is pop open a hex editor, find the sector with the name of your ship in "sectors" of the galaxy and edit "current_sector" in the player .dat to that coordinate. It's in signed 16bit integers.

>>167310856
I'm planning on jamming it full of particle cannon, which is also why I have the asston of batteries.
First though I have to find a way to unfuck turning, since right now it handles like a fucking sled and I want it directly overflying the target.

>>167311215
Btw are you planning to hit anything with those lasers? The effective range looks like about 10 meters

>>167312178
They're all tranceivered together into a single array, and they have not-godawful precision. They won't be boring any holes straight to the ammo, but they're not powerful enough for that anyways. They're to pick off tiny droney things and put them into the drink so the particle cannons can off them.

Speaking of which, turning issue solved and cannons installed. Can drop a Marauder to 30% in a single flyby. Now to figure out a way to unfuck the fucking naval AI or make the fucking plane AI keep its mitts off the pitch controls. LUA may be the solution, alas.

>>167313591

>>167305987
They do at least offer a viable explanation of how the Stealth Ships actually achieve stealth, which is that they use internal radiators to basically bottle up their waste heat, and an extremely expensive outer hull coating (perhaps vantablack, the only thing humanity has produced which is blacker than Africa) which eat up radar/LAdar and from the completely black appearance of the ship I'd guess everything else on the visible spectrum as well. The ship is described in the book as releasing a huge plume of heat when dropping it's stealth.

It's not perfect, as many a space-stealth debater has pointed out a cheap network of orbiting cameras could still track such a vessel optically by simply looking for little black spots that shouldn't be there, since a stealth ship's hull may absorb all kinds of light but it still obscures the stars behind it.

Still, I appreciate the effort on the part of the authors to try as best they can to maintain plausibility while still moving their story along, at least all of the stealth techniques used are actually things a spaceship could do as opposed to bullshit "because technobabble" stealth in something like Trek.

>>167314624
I find that the detection system is so utterly fucked that hitting a small fast thing requires deliberate imprecision of a degree and a half or so because the AI fires where the target ain't.

>internal radiators to basically bottle up their waste heat
Do you mean heat sinks?
You can't get rid of heat by just "radiating it inwards", which should be fairly obvious.

Okay. What do you use for weapons, then? Don't tell me you use something like GCombat still. Or fucking trashcan cannons, since you apparently have some aversion to abstracting away anything at all.
>make the .. engine yourself
Haha, oh wow. Are you actually suggesting that a physically simulated thruster engine would be LESS server intensive than an ACF one? You're delusional, my man.
I'll give you that thruster engines are technically impressive, but they simply aren't practical for use in multiplayer.

>>167315920
I don't think they state it outright in the book but I'd presume they can only maintain stealth for so long.

>>167316324
>they can only maintain stealth for so long
Which, again, should be fairly obvious.
If you're avoiding detection by magically not radiating heat, then the ship's interior temperature will gradually increase, eventually cooking the crew and frying electronics.

No there is an exotic shield booster on it, 129% bonus on shields.

What do the tiny bars above the weapon icons mean?

I noticed weapons draw more power when that's full, do they overheat and become less efficient or something?

Red bars are overheating.
Blue bars are energy usage.

>>167315772
> that maneuverability
You did your thrusters wrong. Make them as thin as possible, stack them dozens deep, a hundred if you have to. You'll need a shit load more mechanics though. Hide them a block or two deep to hide the flames, flickering shits bug the hell out of me.
Looks really nice though.

It's a battlecruiser, a million metric ton monster.
I could make it turn on a dime but that would be ridiculous.

It has a fairly good brake speed and handles well enough.

All turrets are automatic meaning it has a killzone of 360 degrees around it.

Handles similar to the one in Homeworld.

>>167309912
makes more sense to build it vertical though.
primary thrust at ~1g so your crew can walk around normally and do things, and have benches for people to lay on during high-g maneuvers?
Less moving parts, less to go wrong, less to hit, less to armor, all around simpler

>>167324456
A million ton ship is only a battlecruiser to you? I'd consider that a battleship or super battleship.

>>167326317
In Homeworld, it's canonically called a battlecruiser.

Constant ~1g isn't necessary to go anywhere in the solar system fast though, and around half that time would be spent slowing down so you'd be squishing everybody to the ceiling.

What's an appropriate amount of turrets for early game? How much ayy lamo rape should I expect from the first wave?

>>167327643
>Yak-141

wicked

>>167327573
>>167327715
That said, I just read the rest of the conversation

Constant acceleration (forwards then backwards) is good in two situations:
1. Colony ship (lots of people, lots of flat area to think about during designing, doesn't really matter how long it takes you to get somewhere)
2. You have a LOT of fuel (you're moving constantly remember)

Constant spin is better for slightly smaller designs going somewhere in less time (less people to worry about health problems over time for), especially if you make the spinning section a cylindrical shape so the precise direction of acceleration doesn't matter as much.

In very small ships just don't bother, they shouldn't be going for long-ass trips anyway.

>>167327573
>not turning around so the engines, and thus the floor, point the other way

>>167327715
>>167328140
I actually just realized this, had a brainderp from playing too much Abortion sorry

>>167328128
i would say colony ships and stations would be the only situations centrifugal gravity would be viable.
beyond that, it makes much more sense to either have gravity be the direction of acceleration, or none at all

>>167327763
Depends on your settings and your pollution levels.
I personally ditch gun turrets as soon as I can, go full retard on steam power and laser my walls.
Never research bullet damage either.
After the first waves you can see where the creeps attack your wall, usually attack the same spot, concentrate your defenses there and only build sparsely everywhere else until you can make a turret wall too. Make sure to have at least 2 turrets at every point of your wall so even in the event of new waves attacking in a weak spot of your wall you can defend until you reinforce that point.

Tough shit actually using it. Your fault for wasting items on energy drain weapons which are currently completely broken and unusable.
Lightning guns, on the other hand, deliver massive amounts of damage for no energy drain. They're just really close range.

>>167335864
My main focus is railguns, bolters, chainguns and cannons.
I research lasers because they drop it like candy and why the hell not? I don't need money.

I'm not sure a more erratic flight pattern would save them from lazors.

They're lazors. They're instant.

Regular guns though, maybe.

>>167337992
It's due to how detection works: The target's (detected) position and velocity are averaged over a period of time to remove random error. But if the target is turning fast and hard, that'll give you a position reading somewhere INSIDE their turning curve. Which means the laser aims where they're not and misses every single time until the target stops turning. And for high-end cheeseplanes that just never happens.
The only solution is to lower the averaging time to nearly nothing, but then you need oodles of detectors which get blown off and then you're fucking blind.

>>167338286
IIrc you can adjust what you're saying in the vanilla game.You can use a longer average to detect a general flight path instead of the short term erratic movements. I can't recall exactly how to do it but I know I've seen it in a video somewhere.

If they did nerf squirrels that's kinda sad. they should have done an expert and godly squirrel. two tiers like they did with the plunderer capital ship.

How the fuck do you have this bug, been playing abortion for a week, like 2 dozen crashes but I never lost my ship.

>>167356648
Technically, I didn't lost.it.
It is... in some sector.
I respawned at a station I visited earlier.
Now I build a small ship with a nice deep scan range to look for it.

so in avorion all pirates come in groups? I have a not so shitty ship with many turrets and armor but I can't tackle the groups alone for more than a minute then I have to repair.

>>167358872

>>167360402
I spent all my resources repairing between strafing runs, now because there are a few blocks missing, I can't even fit a mining turret so I have to make the 4 jumps back to a repair station. That's what I mean by you either build form thin air or you don't, this system is shit

Then I guess this game isn't for you.

>>167360809
i hope you pirated before buying

>>167360970
yes it is, I just hate the way building is implemented. Now I can't add back some thrusters and make field repairs like any other game, I need to spend 1 hour mining with no lateral or brake thrusters until I can repair the whole ship at once

why can't I just add the thrusters if I have the resources though

>>167361595
You could even exit your ship, make a ghetto miner and use that to collect the materials.

>>167361595
did you try disabling safe mode before placing new blocks?

There is no turning back, keep using it, or replace the entire block.

If I'd known this would happen I probably wouldn't have topped it up with car coolant

I heard water is a better conductor of heat than "coolant" the only reason to use glycol is to prevent corrosion and freezing

>>167390079
No shit. Water is used as a coolant in fucking everything except for special cases for a reason. It's cheap and it's fucking everywhere, it has ridiculously high thermal conductivity, it has ridiculously high thermal capacity and it can be non conductive if you do it right. And guess why antifreeze is called antifreeze? It doesn't fucking freeze at water's freezing point, otherwise everyone would still be using plain water for cooling the damn thing.
Ammonia can be used, as well as liquid sodium if you've decided to erect a nuclear fucking reactor in your basement, but otherwise water. Always water.

>>167390736
seems like you have antifreeze in your fucking pussy, better get that shit out and behave in a good manner faggot

>>167390079
As the video says, its not about the heat transfer, its about the enviroment it is, those are mostly made for specific tubing if plastic, but mostly for metal parts, and they interact in a different way.

Also goy... you think they will make stuff to last for long?
I mean come on...

Is that a fucking mobile abortion clinic?

Any sources for Avorion for GNU/Linux? I want to try this thing before I potentially waste $17 on a meme game.

I was salvaging this ship in empyrion and the whole thing exploded into a shower of debris because I somehow disconnected multiple bits from the ground at a time.

Despite lacking a 'games that aren't /egg/ section' in the general there seem to be a lot less shitposts about a certain game that isn't /egg/

>>167397339
Yeah, I haven't seen a lot of REM this thread.

>>167397419
I mean game that can't be named that starts with a k.

>>167397797
Well, this isn't /khg/, so I don't know why you'd expect to be finding that here anyway

>>167397797
kREM?
I don't know about that one, but I bet it has something to do with circlejerking.
