The Dwarg don't have any encounters, and their weaker stations don't really deploy their defenders against distant enemies. They also don't feel excessively weak to laser. The Wind Slaver is both vastly more common and far too weak relative to its fellow Sung ships. Um, are you actually playing the...

Making ferians not give loot doesn't make mining any better. In EP it may make it worse since you seem to need to both mine and farm ferians to get enough of the rare ores for the armor fabricator to outfit yourself with anything high level at a level when it's still useful. That system has lots of...

Some weapons in my mods are swivel (usually limited to twenty degrees). Then, Playership Drones v6 had ships with swivels because original ships have swivels. (Side note: I really need to finish PSD7 some day.) One thing to remember, Xiphon cannon is a slam cannon with swivel and higher power use. ...

The dodging issue isn't separate from the hit rate issue. You only hit more against small targets that are usually harmless or if you're dodging. And you can dodge and fire a non-omni weapon. Figure eight dodging is tangent to the enemy at two points. This is most useful for medium range weapons th...

Definitely agree on buffing the RDN. Multiple kilotons would look sort of ridiculous(and wouldn't solve the problem of the Kiloton being underpowered), so I'd say buffing its range and damage to the point where it'd be a threat again is the best way of going about this. It already has 120 ls range....

Damagetypes higher than ion/thermo have few to no enhancers. This makes it nearly impossible for some of them to compete. While the APC and Iocrym weapons are powerful enough as it is, and the APA can be boosted with a speedloader, other weapons of higher types need a bit of a buff in endgame to co...

I would suggest we need formulas as a function of angle for both swivel/omni and particles/spread/inaccurate weapons. These types aren't very rigorously balanced. If we can figure out what's right for spread that would tell us what's actually right for fragmentation, which nobody seems to know yet, ...

@George, May I ask why we 'need' the inherent damage type resistance curves on armor? If you ask me, the level dependent armour resistance makes the whole weapon balance challenge needlessly complicated. Originally I added damage type resistance as a way to simulate discontinuities in technological...

Duralloy's regeneration is irrelevant compared to any other regeneration source. It's okay if you're in a non-manticore and plan on sitting around on stars or planets with a solar panel, but otherwise the regeneration may as well not be there.

Nah. Not a pirate. Militia membership is basically equivalent to a letter of marque even though the term isn't used. That makes you a perfectly legitimate privateer.

From what you say and their raw stats, they seem balanced enough, but I, at least, was discouraged from using them by the lack of supply. They're available in the hundreds from weapon dealers and stations, which is quite enough for typical gameplay. Unless George broke something with the new buy in...

I swapped Ungoverned Territories and New Beyond. When you called the Ungoverned Territories the Outer Realm I mentioned it, and then actually addressed the point you'd obviously intended to make. The mention of pirate fortresses, which only exist in the New Beyond should have tipped you off. I've al...

Higher DPS Barely ten percent higher, and significantly lower once the speedloader is factored into the equation. You shouldn't be factoring the speedloader into the equation. It costs a slot and gives what the slot is worth. Slightly less, actually. The median enhancer is +50% and the speedloader ...
