• APHE shell (or explosion) clipping July 15, 2018
  While working on a missile hovercraft, I decided that my best bet was to consolite AI, engines, and unfortunately ammo into one, unseparated citadel. I did some tests against the DWG expert designs Pilferer and Ransack. Both managed to citadel my hovercraft quite disturbingly quickly. When I looked into the AI box during a fight […]
• possibly the longest wooden battleship called the Skooner July 15, 2018
  I originally wanted to make the ship 300 meters long, but when I did, it got shortened down to 235. Besides that, the ship is still very long.

• Shrike lore issue July 15, 2018
  My OCD picked this one up, if you look at the lore description of the Shrike bomber in the Neter vehicle designer it says:"The Shrike is known as the long arm of the Dustwind Gypsies" sooo....

• Imperial Navy of the Hearts of Iron Empire[Refromed] July 14, 2018
  Imperial Navy of the Hearts of Iron Empire! The National Flag of the Empire "Anata No Soba De!" The national saying of the empire, translates to "By your side!" The Naval Flag: Hearts of Iron Empire! After my last thread died and I can't be bothered to necro it, I've decided to start it over […]
• [2.16] Chat window causes heavy lag July 14, 2018
  After a long duration of playing in multiplayer, the chat window appearing on screen will cause FPS to plummet, even for my friend whose computer can run the game very smoothly normally. The lag goes away as the chat window is no longer visible. Rehosting the server does not remove the lag, if it gets […]
• A few questions (Design and Campaign related) July 14, 2018
  Hoo boy is this game fun. I've spent a *lot* of time in designer, almost to the point of being afraid to go into campaign. But I made a 7 or 8k missile/cram corvette and went off in search of some DWG to kill...only to come across a Corsair while in "easy" design mode on […]
• Planet editor doesn't save files (correctly) July 14, 2018
  So after multiple times of loosing hours of work for absolutely no reason I am wondering if this is a problem anyone else is having. The files appear in the browser but they don't seem to actually HAVE ANY OF MY CHANGES being saved and are filled with junk data like Neter's 'Player Faction' overwriting […]
• A random idea/suggestion thread: Double-wide battleship, turrets on pistons? July 13, 2018
  Just a thought I had. If you make a ship shorter and fatter, then the internal area is larger relative to its surface area (and thus area you need to armor and shield), right? So why not just make a battleship that is shorter but wider? The answer, of course, is because "even if you […]
• [2.16] Missile problems July 13, 2018
  So smart little me decided it would be a great idea to build an airship the size of 5 football fields and make a huge room in it with 88 torpedo launchers. Because why not? Well, with this, I noticed a few issues with the missiles in this game. And I've heard you're working on […]
