Awesome last thread just 404'd just in time, it seems.
Anyone got any good textures for space engineers?
So, I've been trying to build this on a planet but it just doesn't seem right is there any way to get moons for planets?
>>124201876
>textures
Look at this fucking casual!
>>124201347
Yeah, I was thinking about moving the components down low in the hull, I'll try with my next ship. This one is getting uglier with each day but we're going to war to see if it survives before I build something new.
>>124201516
I'm refraining from shields, I don't like the look of them.
>build armored gunboat with nucannons
>murders DWG from 3 km away but moves ~15 m/s
>fill one with heli spinners, replace water props with jets

The DWG never saw this coming.
Probably worthless against serious foes but lulz was had.
Worked on my hovertank more, devil is in the details and all that jazz. Found that 1x1wheels are far less prone to attracting clang's gaze than the 3x3 ones, also gimballed hull miniguns are mega comfy.
>>124202265

>>124202436

with the shield colorer you can make them invicible
>>124202962
poland
>>124203068
Try repairing the install, maybe there's something wrong.
>>124202151
You can make shields almost invisible with color changers; set their alpha as low as it goes and tweak the color so it blends in better.
>>124202475
I dunno, just try to place some big jets so they thrust through the center of mass on average and add smaller ones for maneuvering. I guess my propellers were pretty close to balanced already. Don't forget to assign reverse/roll modes for the maneuver thrusters where needed. The AI may fail to use the thrusters properly if it thinks it can do plane-like turns; you can block that via its turn threshold settings.
>>124203319
something, like the all of the game
>>124203319
I'm just flat-out reinstalling right now. I'm finding reports of crashes on save but they're not recent so I figure it's something local to me.I want to keep using reshade but I feel like it might be the problem.
I was just going to comment that the warbros and SS13 servers should be on the OP. And Factorio if the IP is always the same.
Be sure to not put "ss13" in the OP to keep drama away.
>>124203569
Seeing as how /ss13g/ exists to discuss what happens on /vg/ servers, I agree.
Patience might just pay off.
So, Does EGG have shields for SPE yet?
>>124202631
Got a 122mm turret on it, prototype I built on the server last night has a fixed array of six 400mm launchers mounted in place of the turret.

Summary
This week's update is giving more juice to the weapons and tools by making them stronger and more powerful. From now on tools and weapons are divided into tiers, each tier offers more efficient and better versions so you can get the work done quicker. We are introducing new variants of weapons offering an arsenal with diverse parameters such as rapid fire power and deadly precision. Every tier requires different resources to assemble. You will need to find rarer resources to make the higher tier variants. And on top of it you can mod the characteristic of tools.
Since the release of Planets we have been working on the performance of the game and we are planning to continue improving it to make the experience better for everyone.
Features
- new weapon / tool tiers
Fixes
- various performance improvements
- fixed game freezes when drilling
- fixed crash when loading world
- fixed sound on alien planet
- fixed crash with connectors
- fixed station not aligning correctly

>>124204803
IS IT LOOSE YET?
So whats the status of landing gears and connectors?
What causes landing gears to experience such great stress, is it a physics calculation issue or a networking issue?
Does there exist a safe way of transporting small ships inside of large ships in multiplayer?
>>124205249
Just pray.

>>124203005
If you're expecting CoD levels of weapon variety or even half that you're going to be disappointed.
>>124206531
But this update already brought us CoD levels of variety. The same gun with little differences.
>>124203103
>>124203474
>You can make shields almost invisible
Didn't know, thanks.
So the aerial AI seems pretty stupid and can't keep any distance from the enemies, preferring to fly right over them. Or into them. Which this thing's armor layout was never meant for.
I got it to fly straight enough with some control blocks and naval AI instead. Now it does broadsides while flying pretty low in the air, still moving several times faster than the original watercraft.
Dunno why the naval AI is so retarded with throttle, though. On water it's reversing more than half the time unless you tell it not to, and now it's throttling down the jets. Maybe I can fix those with control blocks too.

I wouldn't mind so much if FtD ran uniformly a bit slow but that makes me so angry I could shit
>>124207894
Yeah... it's probably Unity's old Mono C# VM being shit at garbage collection. It seems to get worse as the game's memory usage grows over time, in any case.

>>124208457
>Crikey, that thing looks dangerous. Does the tail fire anything?
Maybe I should fit it with lasers so it can fire harmful rays.
So, is there a cheap way to make a ship more...floaty?
Planning to add a second turret behind the first one once I have the resources but it's barely keeping above water as is.
>>124209474
Moar wood
A lot of my ships have flotation things just to stop them sinking, they also serve as a form of ablative armour.
>>124209474
more wood, also interior space with an air pump in it
Spengist question: Can you modify the speed at which the rotors/pistons lock? Has anyone tried?
If there was some way to initiate the lock voluntarily or to lower the speed threshold at which the lock happens it would make the lock much more useful. If it were lowered you could pilot ships more easily without fear of breaking and with a much slower decline in speed when that point comes. If it could be triggered the possibilities would be far reaching.
Oh, also, my mining vessel and only ship is busted. I have tons of uranium and my oxygen supply is fine, but I've got no refinery and the conveyor system is blown the fuck out.
>>124209634
>>124209768
Switched some of the wood above water with alloys, it made it better, but damn it's expensiveI'm trying to make them look life like, kinda
>>124209934
Air floats even better and doesn't cost anything. You could try to seal the compartments and put water pumps in them.
Putting important things like the engine's root part under the waterline can also provide some protection. Projectiles can bounce off the water, and missiles may end up floating around harmlessly if they splash into the water some distance from the ship while trying to hit the (underwater) engine block.
Lasers may do slightly less damage through water too, but effective lasers tend to be insane overkill to guarantee block kills at a distance so dunno how much protection that is.
It seems http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=506261505 don't lose effiency in atmosphere, can land small ship on earth only using these thrusters
>>124211212
>>124209934
be a piece of shit like me, and fit upward props in your boats. It solves the buoyancy and stability problems in one.
I also use alloys so they're as close to unsinkable as possible.
and lastly, remember some hydrofoils for that extra bit of help.
>>124211527
And i am totally cool with that cause they look cool :D
>>124211212

That, and scrap the cannons. Replace them with missiles.
Then, make it fly using a custom jet. Keep it below 40k RP while you're at it.
There, you now have a vessel that'll let you rip apart DWG, OW and WF within 5 hours of gametime.

Only mod the Warbros Preload world may not have on it right now is Ced's OKI tank/mech weapons pack, thats just for the turret though.
So /egg/ i, as many of you I believe, was thinking about the possibility of reenacting starhip troopers' klendathu fights in the game but sadly the amount of ayys spawning at a time is just too low. So I began looking through the gane files for a way to increase the spawn rate of the spoders, unluckyly there's no simple parameter to edit or increase as the spider spawn event is not in the global events file nor anywhere else as far as I can tell. Then I began looking through the files in the github repository and it seems like there are files governing the spawn of neutral cargo ships which could be edited by script to make spiders spawn instead, maybe even spawn them when the players gets within a certain range of a ship or block.
Unfortunately I'm not enough of a codefag to figure out what to change exactly but maybe someone of you who's more experienced might give it a go.
The file to look at is probably MyNeutralShipSpawner.cs
https://github.com/KeenSoftwareHouse/SpaceEngineers/blob/5ec4a05e16d07e057e67f997bcf8a397d388d111/Sources/Sandbox.Game/Game/World/MyNeutralShipSpawner.cs

The ONLY thing I can think of here is turning ICE into LIQUID HYDROGEN FUEL as a new ammunition type.

>>124235292
300m sounds good to me, it should be high damage though
>>124234740
>The ONLY thing I can think of here is turning ICE into LIQUID HYDROGEN FUEL as a new ammunition type.
Well the main hope here was a cutting down on ammo management, so that would be somewhat counterproductive.
>Or, mhmm. Maybe I can make a thruster without thrust, but a long flame that deals assloads of damage.
I was actually getting the same idea myself. I haven't looked into SE modding, but assuming a mod thruster is limited to vanilla-like behavior and functions, there's the issue of getting it to fire when you want to fire it as a weapon and excluding it from being triggered by maneuvering controls.
>>124235292
It should stay as small nozzles. No large laser unless you somehow link it as a functional drill.
>>124235292
>tfw Ced actually makes a sword mod
>its nothing like requested
"It's not hard"
>>124235527
You would have to a) turn it on/off, b) set it to thrust override 100%. It would be fiddly.
>>124235640
I like this.

Fuck no. Keen has done NOTHING but remove the <!-- / --> around the rifles and other items which have been in the code for weeks now. Making new weapons like they did there takes all of 5 minutes if all files are prepared.
They added a new weapons definition and copy/pasted the assault rifle with the new definition. Same for the tools. Slap some blueprints in there (also copy/paste), done. The lazy fucks.

Actually, one or two reasonable people came by from /ss13g/ and built some shit without telling anyone else. There's very few non-retarded people playing SS13, but they exist.
Learned a bunch of lessons yesterday, especially on gun/turret design, water pumps and how missile>cannons but cannons are sweet as fuck. Gonna test it out the ship now.
On an unrelated term, are electric engines useful, if so, how should they be used?
>>124268874
Electric engines are useless unless you are in devtest, which has the new, overhauled engine system.
Basically they're batteries. They don't generate power, they only store it. Only time they seem useful is when making tiny drones. They can magically draw power from their mothership and take off fully charged. This avoids the extra weight and cost of an actual engine.
Also, all newbies get an obligatory package of autism, in .png form.
>>124269147
>Basically they're batteries. They don't generate power, they only store it
Would a hybrid design work then? I got a small engine that's idling most of them thus producing surplus power but is almost drained when full speed and such.

>>124269807
I can't remember if it's "onlymeonlyme" or "12characters"
I think it's the first one though
>>124269719
Depends on what application. If you want the batteries to power something that's only used for short periods like maneuvering thrusters, sure. I wouldn't recommend using them for things like shields or propulsion, because there's nothing worse than shields going down in the middle of a fight. That said, I haven't messed around with them until a few days ago, and even then was an updated version with some weird shit that definitely wasn't there before.
>>124269147
Note: All of this immediately goes out the window with the new fuel engines
Short and simple: Use only these parts:
Engine, crankshaft, crankshaft extension, cylinder, fuel injector, exhaust, radiators. Radiators can come on the crankshaft too.
No turbocharger, no carburetors (but you can slap some on if you really want to), no superchargers necessary.
And that's about it.

Missiles are only better than guns up to a point. Advanced cannons can be absurdly powerful and hyper accurate at extreme ranges and can snipe the AI core out of ships from kilometers away. Regular custom cannons are a bit poo compared to missiles particularly against shields.

Against stationary targets, perhaps.

I need 12 on the next test which is worth ten(hue). The funny thing is that in this part of physics 101 I'm seeing center of mass and momentum and I'm forced to watch he butchering physics while I can learn more about that on FTD. Goddamit this unviersity really needs a anon feedback system.
Spengie, proper orbital mechanics WHEN?
I made a small ship with shields and encountered the following issue: Shields go down very rapidly when the ship moves.
AFAICT the thrusters aren't hurting the ship. IIRC the modular thrusters don't even cause thruster damage at all. Nor does the ship seem to take damage anywhere moving around when shields are off.
The ship itself has no clangy bits, and there's nothing nearby to collide with.
What gives?
>>124281697never____________________
>>124281732
Shields eat up power. Engines eat up power. It's either one or the otehr or more power. I don't know when we are going to be able to make separate power systems where things are not drawn from the "universal" power pool.
>>124281738
oh. okay.
>>124281830
Shields only eat power when they're charging. Besides, adding ridiculous power generation capacity to the ship (way more than every power using block combined would eat) didn't help.
>>124282142
Sorry I thought he was talking about FTD
>>124281732
It's the modular thrusters.
Rider put his flame dummies to close to the outer bounds of the thruster, so they clip through. Then the script shits itself and thinks you are burning your ship.
"0 damage taken" is different than "no damage taken". 0 is still a value.
>you will never bomb ayylmao with glorious Russian steel su-2

>>124282248
Ok. So is each thruster "damaging" itself or is it somehow possible to design small ships that use the thrusters and have shields?
Also, will modular thrusters stay on the serb and as they are? (atmo capable, "no flame")

Sure thing. Orbital velocity of the earthlike planet is just under 1Km/s. Easily reachable with less reasonable speed mods.

Testing gun sounds and turret overlay.
>>124283294
acceleration and velocity are not the same thing.
Just because the acceleration is 9.8ms-2 it doesn't mean square it to get a velocity to overcome it. It doesn't work anything like that.
the circular orbital velocity equation is
v = (GM/r)^0.5
where G is the gravitational constant and M the mass of the planetary body.
if we take Newtonian gravity equation:
F = GMm/(r^2) where F = ma
then a = GM/(r^2)
GM can be obtained by knowing how far from the planet centre as I believe spengees gives you this, and it will also tell you "a" at that radius out.
you can then sub GM into v = (GM/r)^0.5 to get the velocity.
Anyone got a screenshot of a distance to planet + local gravity?
Although, this assumes that spengees is using Newtonian gravity and not something retarded.
>>124283867

In FtD, if a plane is continually nosediving whenever thrust is applied, is that due to a lack of lift or due to the centre of gravity being offcentre relative to where the thrust is coming from?
>>124292185
Looks like a mobile no-fly zone.
I think I need to build a Boeing 777 with Malaysia Air markings.
>>124292401
your thrust should be in line with the com
if you nose down the thrust is too high in relation to com
>>124292401
Probably your centre of mass is below the centre of thrust, you can fix it by uninstalling FtD and playing a game that's actually finished.
>>124292401
I'm pretty sure the answer is either a bug with FTD or a bug with Unity in general.
>>124292446
That is pretty much what it is designed to be.
The general MO is to plop it down where you want a base, and then rain shit and death all over anything dumb enough to get close to it.
The logistics of this however, mean that god help me, I'm going to have to strip mine entire asteroids just to make it.
>>124291850
You got the wrong thrusters. Ion thrusters are for space, use the atmospheric or hydrogen thrusters.
>>124291850

You need hydrogen ones [connected to a tank], or enough atmosphere thrusters to get you high enough for the ions to start working

I found the com and moved it towards the middle of the jet, but now I seem to be having the opposite problem where the nose starts lifting up the less thrust you put on. Do custom engines have a weird thrust direction or something? I was just making some retarded flying box to test them out.

Hahaha! I'm behind 8 shield generators!
So I recently picked up Besiege on Steam because it was on sale and I kinda enjoy games where you make things to destroy other things.
However I've got no idea what I'm doing, I can make a basic vehicle with motor wheels, ect, but in terms of catapults and stuff I have no idea what I'm doing.
I've been playing about with a few of the tools available, but I'm still not entirely sure how I should be going about it.
Any chance of a hand?
>>124295454
>he thinks his puny shields will protect him from a portal that leads directly to the clangverse
>>124294769
Hmmmm. I can't see it perfectly clearly, but it looks like CoM is a tiny bit lower than it should be. Adjusting CoM is sometimes a major pain, but maybe you can hack your way around it (provided that engine's thrust output is not enormous).
Sometimes when my CoM is slightly off, I use a dedicated heli at the front (if CoM is too low) or back (if too high) to even out the net direction of thrust.
Also, I'm not completely sure, but the tailplanes being higher than CoM might give you some wonky maneuvering. IIRC that's part of the Flying Squirrel's wizardry.
>>124295678
I'm just moving stuff around to see what's making it do the weird movement. I can't really see what's going wrong despite the com appearing to be in the right place.

It's a game about making stuff. Make stuff as you see fit and progress from there.
For catapults you need a moving arm and a high acceleration movement, such as the springs, but the arm doesn't have to break. 45° shots will do the trick most of the time.

With the amount of thrust custom jets produce, they do tend to be pretty sensitive. If you press P and look straight down the line of the jet, it should be dead center. If you get that and it still gives you problems, check center of lift.

I've had perfectly balanced shit that always nosed down slightly.
I've also had balanced shit that could barely turn or even couldn't turn if the thrusters were mounted too far from the COM or on spinners, as though the moments were made proportional before opposing moments canceled each-other out.

Surprised it's mentioned here. I used to play this a lot.
Anyway, I reinstalled to test a theory I had about wedge design. The trick to making good wedges is to have as much weight as possible in front of the burst motor. I whipped this up in 10 minutes and it's about as good as any wedge from Starcore. Two wedges is probably optimal, though.

The former link only provides 0.12.17 up to 0.12.20, and the latter doesn't download any files.
>>124318249
no, you just need a one-block hole. i mean, as long as only one block of the turret is coming through the deck
>>124319362

But unless you want 6mm guns, you need both a connector going through the deck and a gauge increaser. That means 3x3 holes, or 2x3 if you are okay with a limited field of fire
>>124320148
the gauge increaser doesn't have to go through the deck, you can put it anywhere. only thing that has to go through the deck is one of the 6-way connectors

>>124320308
Nothing really has to go through the deck. But if you're keeping the gauge increasers above deck, does that mean you also keep the recoil absorbers above deck, or do you just not use them?
>>124320308
You can't put it anywhere. It must be placed in the back of the advanced firing piece.
>>124320148
Thanks anon. I thought there was some magic to avoid the 3x3 hole. It seems not. God I hate gauge increasers
>>124320148
>you need both a connector going through the deck and a gauge increaser.
What do you need the connector for?
All the ammo equipment (loaders, clips, feeders) can be attached to the sub-deck portion of the gauge increaser.
This central gauge increaser column can be split and redirected to fit more coolers and recoil reducers as needed.
Unless you're going for a railgun, single-block hole would be able to fit a cannon - although I'd advise against such a setup.
The central column holding up the barrel and mantlet should not fail on the first hit, it'll likely pay off to go with a thicker column.

is the last 0.12.20 stable? is the any good reason to use 0.15 ?
My current problem with Factorio is that playthroughs are all too similar.
The game needs more secondary objectives such as 'Build a monument to clang to reduce clangings' and dynamic objectives such as 'An elven caravan appears'
Things you don't have to do at any particular time and you're not forced to do but that you'll want to do. Having a lot of options of what you could start doing at the start is nice.
The game is supposedly in alpha so this is more a 'I hope the game gets beefier' than a complaint.
>>124324786
eggtorio playthroughs are rarely similar.
>>124325125
I kind of feel that might be true
More people means more shit to fuck up means more fun.
When you do a map by yourself you have control over everything and you know everything that's happening.

What's happening with the Factorio server?
My game suddenly froze up, and end up the same way when attempting to rejoin.Don't tell me it's on my end. Tell me there's a cure for it.
>>124328875
THAT is impresive to me, sanic fast.
that comes from programable blocks right?
i dont know shit about coding, but i use regular timers to do the move, this shit is slow, so its ok to have a 1 or 2 seconds gap, wish i have a half second, but i knew using C you can delay in Ms the trigger now, and there you have faster reaction times, also read about using sensors, but i cant find a way to make use of them
when its finnished (now its hollow again, no containers, no solar panel and the batteries are in the center) its going to be a mobile station, or like a refill midstation, because is kinda small after all, its made from small blocks, and i have to find a way to put shit like oxigen generators among other stuff not aviable on small ships to make it an actual station.
maybe i will redo it on big ship blocks, but that is going to be fucking huge.
the biggest issue was the feet it self, but i find a cool solution, rotors with enough brake force.
here is another failure, a side door for a mining ship.

neat, but big guns are complete trash. anything other than the minimum shell diameter firing from 1m beltfed autoloaders is a waste of space and resources.
also, if you built that with shell parts and ammo outputs, it looks like Nick is going to remove the ammo outputs+shell parts portion of the ACCs and just have ammo inputs link to a customizer, shells being made directly from ammo. so, ya know, just a heads up.
>>124334279
never made one, im actually looking webm for retads to do it.
this is the newer version im making, more simple, and also, want to make it smaller, thats why im thinking about faster timers.

Quick question, which weapon mods are currently active on the server? I'm designing some ships offline and I don't recall which gun mods were removed.
>>124351128
I have removed all guns that I could remove without hacking into other packs and/or needing a disabler mod to turn them off. I understand that you are itching to make shaps.
I am not 100% certain which guns will make it back, and many of them will have often vastly different roles, so even if I say that Peter's Buttblaster 5000 is making it back, it might behave like Paul's Doomray, and Mary's Tittylaser MkII might be dropped entirely.
I got all the 7.62mm guns done, and we now have all the sounds for the 120mm, 230mm and 410mm weapons done, which means we can finish about 30% of the weapons in the pack.
>>124350801
By executive decision after conversing with our adviser, a certain "Joseph J. Jonathan Joeinton", we have decided to remove the shield mod for the time being.
Bad news: RIP shields.
Good news: Server boots.

so with the new engines and such in ftd, and the new resources. It's really fucking dangerous to put a refinery on a ship, sky forts suck though. so is there a way to have a ship patrol between a ground based refinery, and a drill ship, carrying the resources automatically? or is the AI not that good yet?

You have to do every single thing manually.

And I haven't found a way to disable localized resources yet.
>>124360720
It doesn't seem bad. my biggest problem with the game so far is that the starting resource zone has fuck all in terms of resources on it, and even on the easiest settings you get constantly raided by strength 40 fleets. the only way to survive is to madrush the first two resource points as fast as possible so you get more resource flow.

r8 my missiles
I don't know any better. I have 12 missiles total and they don't seem to have trouble ripping trough anything, I just took out 3 paddle guns at the same time with only acceptable damage being done to my ship and I could be further away at that as the missiles seem to have more than enough fuel left over. How do I check the range anyway?
I have two launch boosters on each launch pad, am I supposed to delay the enginge start this way?

Deepwater guard aren't all that strong defensively. Try Onyx Watch for a slightly harder challenge.
>>124364591
>They're doing their part. Are you?
Seems like frag missiles have gotten fucked recently. I'm in devtest, is this true for someone in regular branch? Even set at 2deg with 2 warheads there's hardly any penetration compared to what I remember.
>>124365874
They nerfed frag missiles and super buffed explosive. Deepwater guard missiles that used to not do shit completely blow apart even ships made of 4 block wooden beams. explosves just eat everything now.
>>124365097
Campaign missile boat for starters. I really just want long range so I can stay away and do damage. I'm planning to create two small gunboats to provide canon fire short range or just some really tiny missiles on the bow.
I'll set the frag to 90 or less though.

>>124366286
>single point IR
>target prediction guidance
Do they work with target lasers? I did try using them but the paddle gun deployed it's flares or whatever they're called so I switched to more explosives instead and the missiles are also way more accurate this way.
I'll switch to the variable thruster
>>124366583
Lasers are horribly inaccurate over very large distances, especially if you're the player, IR is generally better although you might need to use a turreted launcher or oneturn
>>124366651
Aha, makes sense, I'll play around with it. Maybe get a turret up front and a set of separate missiles.
Also, what does "ramp time" actually do?
>>124367076
I'm not exactly sure, but it's the time it takes for the thruster to accelerate to full power specified right below. So it starts slow but gets faster, which might be good for more long range/thumper missiles.
>>124339870
Fuck with someones car all you want but do not fuck with the brakes, you will put innocent people at risk.
>>124367337
>implying anyone would figure out you oiled their brakes
If they pancake someone the driver could get manslaughter charges. A noble sacrifice from the splattered pedestrian.
>>124367076
Ramp time is the time it takes for thrust to go from 0 to whatever you have set to max.
So if the ramp time is 2 seconds and your max thrust is 200, you will linearly increase thrust by 100 m/s per second for two seconds, starting at zero.
>>124367862
>implying anyone would figure out you oiled their brakes

Keep it around 3k for one large ship, 1500 for other ships, and bases, I don't give a fuck, unless it's a retarded 5000 armour block penis without function. If you go to 4000 blocks, meh, it'll be fine.
Large small ships (medium ships from small blocks) are okay, but keep in mind that you will kill your FPS. And that of others. Try to aim at the same 3k limit, ish. I won't bark at one of those.
For example, pic related is a 190m long ship, clocking in at just under 1500 blocks.

Because it's a game with AAA graphics. No modern game that emphasizes graphics can have good, complex gameplay. It's because "shiny things" and "dumbing everything down so even normals will love it" go hand in hand.

Mostly the devs promising more than they can deliver and the limited digital products turn people off of it.
Similar to to No Man's Sky, but you can actually play this game. As long as you pay a minimum of $40 for just 1 ship. If you want every ship, you'll need to shell out $15,000.00 US.

I love how they seem to do shit intentionally, even though it's all timers and sensors.

Now the ship I can't spawn on is flying somewhere into the depths of space at 420 m/s

Does autopilot works on server restart?
You could use it for long flights to make sure that once ship reaches it's destination it stays there.
You'd be fucked anyway but at least you'll still have your ship.
Other than that, you could use sensors or timers that either stop the ship once you disappear or turn on the autopilot so the ship returns to the base.

next 2 or 3 months is to fix up what is currently in game:
1) optimise (that came out tops in the polls anyways). Won't take long to get back to where we were in stable and a bit beyond it.
2) remove redundant complexity and finish the "overhauls" that are currently going on. APS ammo parts and output ports to be removed. Shields to use battery power.
3) Fix the learning materials, help tips and descriptions, tutorials. Make a new super tutorial video perhaps.
4) Sort out faction strategic AI and diplomacy for campaign
5) Add the necessary RTS features to the game to help "Quality of life" (i.e. automated supply fleets, drag and drop building of blueprints from a "favourites" list), better retrofitting.
6) Balance and finish / get working the features that are supposedly present in the game (special attention to player skills, multiplayer, APS, new engines, localised resource, LUA)
7) Do a dozen more pages of the request o matic, a few more APS and missile modules here and there to keep things fresh
8) Fix the slope hydro/aerodynamics problems (currently slopes don't care which way they are orientated) and make air pump buoyancy apply the force at the correct position.
9) More settings for the world editor as required to support the Dangerous Waters WWII planet and Neter.
10) Gameplay and immersion- I'm aware that the avatar currently plays very little part in the campaign and I'm keen to figure out ways of making him more than just a little spec of metal you teleport around from time to time from one bit of ocean floor to another.
11) Somewhat cleaner user interfaces
12) Clear bug reports

More about CCs. In short, the slower they'll shoot, the bigger and better the shot will be.

i remember the first threads about this game when it just came out, everyone was wondering about making huge space dildos to penetrate other ships.

You could probably get 2-3 times the power from that with a few crankshafts and cylinders between the pile of stuff.
