Alex,

As I humorously implied at the bottom of page 23, is the credits symbol basically going to be a cents sign?

[Alex]

So, yeah.

Quick question if I may: does the clip reload mechanic interact with the expanded magazines hull mod, and if so, how?

The hullmod increases the maximum ammo. So, for example, if you had 100 ammo and a clip size of 20 (so, 5 clips), and you get +50% from expanded magazines, you'd have 150 ammo, a clip size of 20, and 7.5 clips. The number of clips is a stat derived from max ammo and clip size, so it doesn't actually have to evenly fit into max ammo, and isn't used for anything aside from giving you a sense for what fraction of the ammo gets reloaded per reload.

Is there a way in the API to adjust clip size or reload rate via hullmod or ship system or the like?

[Dri]

Do clips continue to reload even while the weapon is firing or does the timer till clip reload only tick down when the weapon isn't in use?

No, there isn't. I could see adding it, it's just not in at the moment.

They continue to reload regardless of all other considerations.

Aw dang, I hoped for the first to do the second... Well, my current scripts will have to do then.

lol, at least we have millions of cents in the future.

So, with the changes to the Phase Beam there is now no medium sized energy standard beam weapon, right? I like the sound of the new weapon in general, but I'll have to change some of my fittings. I think this is a gap, now. We have the tactical laser in the small slot, the HIL in the large slot, and formerly the med slot was the phase beam.

Graviton Beam.

Kinetic damage, doesn't really fit the role of a general purpose beam as it's totally useless against armor. Energy damage at least is mediocre all over.

[Alex]

One of the ideas way, way early was that not all weapon sizes provide weapons of all roles, giving another reason to fit smaller weapons into larger slots. Now, it didn't pan out exactly like that across the board, but with that in mind, I wouldn't say that a gap here and there is necessarily a bad thing.

[Histidine]

With its newfound uber range, Tactical Laser spam could probably substitute for the old Phase Beam reasonably well.

Why not ¥ or €?

[ValkyriaL]

or united $ of murica.

[Linnis]

But it will always be yellow. 

[Gothars]

Nice! Does the new elliptical targeting area of ships hold any implications for potential shield form diversification? Or will shields definitely stay circles?


A bit of a shame with the pause function, but I agree that it didn't work out as it was. Any chance of trying something new with it, like an option to make pause cost CP?


Looking forward to the update
