Keon's I was bored so I want something thread
like my wurm ship it smashes a hole in a single place in the hull so the soldiers can get in

They might then die from the same lack of oxygen (You need an airlock)

Yeah the physical damage won't be random. Ship HP is used to calculate when damage will take place, and the magnitude of the destruction. That way, you won't be able to, say, hide behind a 6m hull when you are only a light frigate class. The combat engine will treat your durability the same as any other light frigate with the same stats. Seems the only fair way to do it when a ship can look like anything.

"Is that air I am breathing" is such a simple check, I foresee no issues with adding that mechanic. You could mitigate damage by having self-sealing bulkheads. Also, we can probably make artificial gravity something which can be damaged or malfunction, as well.

my soldiers wouldnt die because the door would only open if there is a hole made
my ships would still have the nose in the hole so no air could get out

Re: Keon's I was bored so I want something thread
There's no way that would work. You can't form an airtight seal just by ramming the ship's nose in. You might be able to deploy military robots or possibly spacetroopers that way, but no normal soldier would survive that.joykler wrote:my soldiers wouldnt die because the door would only open if there is a hole made

Of course I understood it. He has terrible grammar, but he's still perfectly clear. You can't understand him?

I also may have the advantage that english isn´t my native language, allowing me to work even with horrible grammar.

thanks
and i'm fine with the not working of my
ships spacetroopers would also be fine

Re: Keon's I was bored so I want something thread
I've never liked the idea of ship HP. Maybe a more natural balance system could be used that depends upon the total mass of the ship. More armor=more massive ship, heavier ship requires a more powerful engine, which requires a larger, more efficient reactor.

Yea, that's what I detailed back on the old forum: http://futurecraft.forumotion.com/t436-armor-plating

Re: Keon's I was bored so I want something thread
i think armor would be nice having holes in the hull
just in time escaping with holes in your defence
i have thought of a way but its a bit hard to explain because its build in diffrent parts so look
have you seen the redpower mod with covers that are flat perfectly in all the diffrent colors and textures
they can be used to cover up redstone while not requiring an extra block they have an collision box but two can fit in the same block
i think you could use something like that
a single pain has an hp of say 100
you have already discussed that if each block has hp for itself you get borgships
but this block has life on its own buttt if its dealed damage and it doesnt destroy it instantly it diverts 70 % percent of the damage to a 3x3 ring around it and to the inside it doesnt matter how much layers you have each 3x3 layer damage behind the hit plate would receive 70 % percent damage.
the real block against the pane would be destroyd at the same moment that the pane is destroyd
i have made an demonstration
this way of having hp would be way more fun
there could be diffrent kinds of armor like heavy to light
and because there seperate of eachother you could plate key components heavier then things you dont really need
you could make it in a way that it counts the weight of the total armor and uses that to calculate the amount of engines needed
borg like ships are still possible but not as good because all the layers would be constantly receiving damage + you need more engine power
and because there seperate blocks someone needs to place them one by one making it very irritating to place them
but i have thought of an idea to place it in large amounts but furst i want to hear what you think of it
and again sorry for my grammar.
