>>153238093
Godspeed you magnificent bastard!

P.s. may i suggest a slew of new structures that allow to expend resources in exchange for a increase in growth of other resources?
Example: steel mill takes a bunch of natural and a good amount of fuel, increase Metal growth on a resource zone (the reasoning is that there is a bunch of native cluster of metal, by building a steel mill you can also make use of the ore)
Another thing would be to make crystal growth trays require material feedstock (either natural or metal but metal is more efficient) to produce crystal (it can be used anywhere contrary to the steel mill)
Also biodiesel production, natural->oil at a bad rate (useful if you are oil-starved and you have waay too much natural)

Prepare to be disappointed The bottom is completely flat and featureless.

Seeing as this is my first experiment with a hull of this shape, it works surprisingly well. There was no need for a keel or anything. Very stable and naturally sits at a good depth.

>>153248560
Interesting, thanks. I thought you had some sharp keel or hydrofoil setup or something since it's decently fast.

>>153248815
It barely sits three metres deep in the water, even with the hydrofoils off. I think tumblehome-style hulls just have a lot of internal volume and buoyancy. Very little boat beneath the water means very little drag, even though it's practically shaped like a brick.

>>153247182
one resource isn't even that big of a deal, it'd be nice to have oil as well too but it's not like it breaks the game

>>153250181
But all the other shit does break it. It's pretty clear Nick doesn't give a shit about making a good game anymore, or at least doesn't care about doing anything past adding/removing random shit that no one's asked for.

>>153250501
Please explain your mindset here. Are you complaining about the detection mechanics? Because they add some extra strategy to ship design, which is always appreciated. And if you don't like the detection mechanics, you can turn them off in the game settings.

Are you complaining about the unified resources? Because the only resource that actually mattered was metal. The other four resources were so abundant that they never limited construction in any way. They were just unnecessary complication.

>>153251972

At least that way we could write it in Fortran and have it run at a decent speed.

>>153251041
Oh cool, so rather than thinking as an individual you're going to copy-paste some other guy's half-baked criticism? Actually think for a moment.

More than half of your criticism revolves around this issue you seem to be having that big ships beat small ships.

I mean, fucking... Yeah, they do. What did you expect?

I would argue that detection mechanics push things back in the opposite direction, as smaller vessels can evade detection from larger ships and pick them apart with stealthy weapons such as torpedoes and missiles. The big ships you keep complaining about simply can't evade detection.

And again, about the resources. If you had actually played the game, you would realise that there was only one material of any actual importance, and it was metal. The other resources were, like I said, unnecessary complication. No point in them existing. They served no purpose.

Natural and oil were always available in excess, crystal was renewable, and scrap was effectively just metal.

And don't talk some bullshit about logistics being removed. You still have to manage fuel and ammunition and move resources between areas and vessels. Anybody with a brain just used the generic "store everything" crates for their five different resources anyway, again removing any point in them being five different resources.

Which SE server are you playing?

>>153252328
Okay, sure, Nick.

I'm okay with resources getting axed, but not to just one. "Raw material" and "Natural oil" would be just fine, but a universal resource basically removes any importance of certain resource spawns and replaces it with basic fucking attrition. Need more fuel for your ships? Just make another refinery on top of a magical fucking universal resource. Need more AI components? Flip a switch and let it gather the magical fucking universal resource instead of magically turning it into oil, instead.
It can pass on a crunch point of perspective, but holy shit is it fucking stupid from a fluff viewpoint.

wad da fug

>>153252975
I think the main issue I have with the game having multiple resources is that there's not multiple ways to gather them.

Re-adding oil would be a good idea, but only if you had to go to special oil-only resource zones to gather it. If collecting oil is just a matter of placing a block which is basically identical to the other resource-gathering block, then there's no point in having it in the game.

>>153253212
But you know what would be even better?
Four resources.
One, "natural resources". It can be gathered only on land, and takes up wood and part of scraps, possibly even a catalyst in the oil conversion process.
Two, "ores". Can be gathered both in the ocean and on land, used for metals and part of circuitry, as well as manufacturing scrap and ammo.
Three, "natural oil." Can only be gathered in sea, can be manufactured into fuel and ammo.
Four, "scrap". Can only be manufactured, cannot be harvested anywhere in the world except enemy and your own ships. Makes up the majority of advanced components, including really heavy armor.

Fucking solved.
The problem with the original resource system that literally all of them could be just mined in some ambiguous circle in the middle of the sea, which is kind of dumb. By simply forcing the player to expand just to be able to get all the necessary resources, logistics would actually fucking matter. That way, having land territory will matter even if you don't make a lot of wooden ships - you need it to create fuel. And you can't go fully land-dwelling, either, because then you'll have no fuel at all.

>I would argue that detection mechanics push things back in the opposite direction, as smaller vessels can evade detection from larger ships and pick them apart with stealthy weapons such as torpedoes and missiles.
Except they literally can't do this because the game has magic mainframe detection and because detection ranges of all sensor types massively outstrip engagement ranges.

The detection system is a good idea, and it certainly has potential, but it needs iteration to actually mean something.

>Plasma

has anyone tested how effective different turret types are in empyrion, especially against quick SVs?

you can pretty easily defeat the AI bases by circlestrafing them in an SV, and I get the feeling you could do the same to a player's CV, especially without a player manning a turret. minigun turrets seem like the closest thing to CIWS we've got, with hitscan rounds, high rotation speed and rate of fire, but I'm not sure how they'd do damage-wise. just about everything else uses relatively slow-moving projectiles and slower-turning turrets, so I'm not optimistic about those.

I'd be fine with the answer to fighters being other fighters, but even then it seems like it'd be difficult to actually intercept anything when there's an easily-reachable max speed, at least before it gets the chance to take a few chunks out of the CV/station you're protecting.

The way the campaign resource points were set up they all basically just gave you a bunch of everything. The only resource that was even kind of scarce was crystal, which you could grow in farms infinitely.

Because of that, and particularly because oil was so incredibly abundant there was basically no point in having all the different types of resource.

Basically because Neter is a shitty campaign all resources got merged.

>andromeda server admin is ignoring me

>>153281202
No, that's why he's not willing to even listen to criticism of the decision.

People going "waaa I miss 5 resources" with literally zero argument to back up why 5 resources was better (it wasn't because the resource system wasn't used in an interesting way at all).

Like over and over and over again so hard Nick basically just told them all to go suck a fat one and had his autistic breakdown.

Now when someone goes "Hey it might actually add strategic depth to have oil as a separate resource and have resource zones that only generate oil" he just reverts to autism mode.

>>153283065
I haven't played FtD, so I didn't know all resources spawned in the same area.

That's just as dumb as cutting it down to a single resource.

Fucking set up two or three different resources and have nodes for each one set up around the map.

I've played Engineering games for a long time to give myself a bit of satisfaction in making complex machines. But to be honest, That's dying for me.

I want to build shit for real, but I don't have a garage to do it. And I'll need more money to have such facilities, but it's an ass to find a job that advertises pay of any real value.

Interestingly, I used to do all these things as a kid and up to the end of University. Now do mostly paperwork type engineering, which is dead boring and isn't making the kind of money I'd really like, hence no garage. Can't really build here which sucks. Go to an engineering shop once a week for 2 hours but it's not really enough.

Why can't we just get metal, oil, and rare earth elements (REE) that are required to make shit like supers, turbos, custom jets, laser components, missile seekers and alloy and usually pretty scarce on the map so you have to make sure you have a well guarded source of it or suddenly all your tanks need new engines, your jets are grounded because you ran out of high strength alloys to make forced induction components when your enemy took down your magnesium mine.

Maybe invest in a set of good hammers, a nice big anvil, an old drill press, maybe a belt sander, and either make your own furnace or buy one. Then go to a scrapyard, get some nice steel and make something. That's probably the cheapest route.

Americans basically have the least freedoms of anyone. Very lax gun laws in certain states is the only thing they have going, and that is being cracked down on as we speak.

Sterik here(remdev): all this drone nonsense is my day job, so I thought I'd share my two cents. The consumer drone market has already sailed and capping out. If there is an open door it's the commercial market, get gud at building custom drones, find a good use for a drone in your area, (inspection, scanning, etc.) build a solid platform and go do it. Call out your piece of the pie, before everyone else eats it.

There was a bunch of incidents with morons flying drones near commercial aircraft and possibly one incident of one getting sucked into an engine. There was also an incident where some drunk idiot flew one over the white house, which got shot.

FAA warned people several times about it and finally said, "fuck it, no flying within 1 mile of an airport and you have to register your shit so we can fine you if you fuck up. You also need a license so we know that you read the rules."

This kinda needed to be done, though, since Amazon's working on a drone delivery service and the FAA needed to set up rules for them anyway.

sometimes I get really fun things that are sort of like lucid dreams but not.

ced why did u remove maglocks

>>153315792
Because they are a literal reskin of CLANGing gears?

>Tuesday Night Rigging
What is it

>>153316475
Unofficial thing they're doing. There's three generals and a dummy team that we could replace. There's no kits and I think the player stats are randomized so all we'd do is submit a list of names and have something to watch tomorrow.

My top votes were, like, automatization, auto-mining and alternative energy,
then better repair options, NPC Trading, ship-v-ship combat and cruise speed.

I'm waiting for a raspberry Pi and some other components to dry, I think everything should be fine.
My computer was off and bluescreen'd once when I tried starting it up, must have shorted out in the water since I left it turned on. I'm lucky to be here shitposting with you tonight.

>>153330107
No.

>spengies continuously murdering itself clientside
If I die until the next update finish the Cathodica and use it to jew the solar system with platinum my israelites

Honestly Spergies would be better if it was like Factorio on planets where you gotta actually keep defending from Ayys and shit goes full Starship Troopers.

Just got back into Spengies and apparently the hotkeys for the voxel hands menu has changed but CTRL+H just changes antennae settings.
I needs to make my underground nuclear bunker for maximum comfy so what did they change it to?

What is this multi-crew thing? Does Space Engineers seriously not allow multiple people on the same ship?

>>153335453
It does allow multiple people I thought. But only as passengers.

>>153335453
It does but with the shit physics before it was impractical

>>153335453
It always has been possible, but netcode was previously so goddamn awful that it was pretty much undoable, since the slightest dip in simspeed or the tiniest desync would clang out out of the vessel.

>>153233884
could add a last line like this
10 10 10 =6
((Log 10) +(Log 10) +(Log 10))! =6

I'm not sure that the dot trick is allowed. This one works better imo

Is there any reason I shouldn't use git for my spengies saves?

>>153337679
Or 5 + (5/5)

>>153338010
which is even simpler. Haven't thought of that one since I was thinking with factorials

Now I just need to find some pirates.

Missiles are heavy armour with blast door struts, some low level energy shield protection against CIWS, and have ample forward thrust for acceleration. Not sure how well they penetrate, but at least they look rather swish. With the battery and shields in place, a bomber will need to charge them for a moment before sending them off, but it beats loading up a few missiles and then being dry.

>>153339630
What is this, what mods?

>>153339917
It's a missile printing bomber for guided missiles (script controlled) that I built on the Warbros server.

>what mods
Not even sure. Probably azimuth power, laser welders (dx11), half armor slabs & extension, reworked ramps, reworked panels, azimuth oxygen & cockpit seat. Most is cosmetic. The 1x1x1 merge block is rather substantial for obvious size reasons.

>>153339917
>Most is cosmetic
That's why I'm asking, there's so many blocks that I don't recognize, it looks really good.

>>153340271
Cosmetic, I see the 3x ramps, 3x windows, then the sloped sound blocks, Kolt's wires.

Functionally, the laser welders in the flanks, the rider modular thrusters and the twin blasters at the nose. Also azimuth cockpit seat.

That should be it, visible in those pictures.
