No, you just keep changing points whenever I give you something sensible.
why do I say this?
Quote:Shields have the ability to regen. Shields, aside from the ability to regen, are otherwise inherently weaker than hull. So it sort of balances itself out.
Exactly what I said, unfortunately....
Quote:as its structure is the bare minimum required to hold the ship together
You do realize that people would just have to load up a single bomber with EMP weapons only and you would die in a second?
Because your hull would be so weak it would die from the near-zero hull strength.
Then 1) avoid getting shot at by emp - the ship is designed to outrun, 2) use special shields designed to somehow counter EMP

And I highly doubt the devs will include it.
Just a concept. You do understand that I have little weight on the server and game, that the devs don't have to do what I say, right? All I'm offering are suggestions. Suggestions that may or may not work if implemented and used properly.

This is a series of scripted patterns where, given enough time, everything will repeat itself.

You missed my point entirely - when I mentioned GTA5, the point wasn't the npcs inside GTA5 and how they're AI.
I was merely stating that if AI is (albeit highly sophisticated) software, then while developing it costs money but actual distribution of the software costs close to nothing, and the profit from selling the AI software will eventually cover the development cost, may I remind you was in response to your

A single virus. Well programmed and a lot cheaper to make.
And the virus argument is just silly- so what we just stop using the wonderful programs computers offer all together just because viruses? Have you ever heard of this thing called "antivirus"? It's not 100% effective, but it helps.

When I said that shields are inherently weaker than hull, what I meant was- in current Disco context, where every ship has to be coated under thick slabs of armor. It doesn't contradict my new ship class as it'd just be the first ship class to rely more on shields than on hull. And it could also be the first cruiser-sized ship class to mount BS shields, since it has the capacity to do so what with all the freed up space from the no longer needed crew quarters and thick armor.
Yes we are getting nowhere. The fundemental difference between me and you is that I'm here for discussion, you're here for argument. I'm here to make an idea work - possibly through a comprimise, you're here to bash new ideas - until people stop suggesting anything. You're a troll (regardless of who Coin's reply was referring to). Take your trolling to flood and friggin stay there.
No atmosphere? GTFO.
The propeller is the greatest invention of all time.
