Could we remain civil here, please? I find it distasteful to read this kind of caustic material. It is quite clear that deltav is slow to get up to speed on the meta, but that is not a reason to flame and insult. Be more patient with people. I couldn't care less that he's slow to get up to speed on the meta. I find it insulting he states (repeatedly) things that are not true as if they were facts, then robotically repeats the same arguements again and again, whilst accusing anyone who objects to his arguements of having an emotional bias or unobjctive outlook (LOL). Nevermind deleting his old posts that make him look bad. Or casually insulting the creator of our game. No, I don't think I can remain polite towards him while he continues his behaviour. And if you guys find that unacceptable, just let me know that I need to leave your forum.

While Newage taking the bait does reflect badly on them, it does seem that deltav is going out of their way to provoke that kind of response. Honestly, I would have given them the benefit of the doubt if they hadn't ignored all the helpful advice that other people posted, and instead double-posted long rants about a person being mean to them on the internet. That kind of behavior smells of ulterior motives: do they really want advice, or are they just fishing for arguments by pretending to ask for it?
I'm not all-knowing though, I can only guess based on what I see. Here's the advice I can offer as I see it:
Newage: Step back and try to calm down. Having someone provoke you and then feign victim when the predictable happens (or being in a situation where that seems to be going on) does suck, and I'm sure you're a lot nicer when work/real life isn't fraying your nerves. But right now, you're hurting yourself more than anyone else by taking the bait. Take 10 and drink water.
deltav: Don't ask for advice and then get offended when someone tells you you're wrong about something. That's what advice is, correcting errors you didn't know you were making. Asking for advice is asking people to tell you how wrong you are. Allow for differences of opinion, try things out, and experiment with the new information. It's possible you're not doing it on purpose, but a thick skull and a thin skin is a sure-fire way to frustrate the people around you. Try to be more self-aware and considerate of other posters. Grandstanding and trying to start a witch-hunt over name-calling on the internet just makes you look bad. And if you are doing it on purpose, then *seriously* cut that out. It's not cool at all.
Also you derailed your own thread.

We're waiting on you, deltav. Do you have a counter-argument that will address the points which have been raised?

Simple ground rules everyone should follow... DON'T... Call names. (That's childish.) Insult. (That's disrespectful.) Use profanity. (That's crude.) Judge others. (That's silly, you don't even know them.) IF You... Make a post with the "Don'ts", you get blocked. Like a post with the "Don't", you get blocked.
DO....
Argue.
Disagree.
Dispute.
Stick to your guns.
Stand up for what you think.
Ignore someone if can't control your emotions/be civil.
Stick to COADE, not your personal opinions of people you don't even know.
I'm done with this topic. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This thread is a place for people to sound off about coilguns, railguns, lasers and cannons.
Your thoughts can be based on experiences in game, or just your thoughts, or even theoretical as long as they are about coilguns, railguns, lasers and cannons.
Your thoughts about fellow members good or bad, don't belong here.
Personal attacks/ insults don't belong here.
Imagine you are speaking to your Grandmah. If you wouldn't speak to your Granny that way, don't speak to anyone on this thread that way.

The only nation to ever have a real "space cannon"... Russia. "The project, which was in place from 1963 to 1969, aimed to spy on and thwart the Soviet Union in space. According to the declassified documents, one objective was to explore the feasibility of attacking Moscow’s satellites by knocking them out of orbit or firing projectiles at them. The program also included an elaborate plan to capture a Russian spacecraft in orbit, swaddle it in heat-shield material, and send it back to Earth for inspection. Yet despite Washington’s best efforts to keep these experiments under wraps at the time, its main adversary discovered the operation. In fact, Moscow equipped its secret manned space station, Almaz, with a rapid-fire cannon, according to chief designer Vladimir Polyachenko. If a U.S. spacecraft attempted “to inspect or even attack the Almaz, we could destroy it,” Polyachenko told PBS in 2007. He also said that in 1975, cosmonauts test-fired the cannon, making the Soviet Union the first nation to weaponize an orbiting spacecraft. For budgetary reasons, Washington’s MOL never got off the ground. Many of the astronauts transferred to NASA’s Space Shuttle program, but specifically to the clandestine side operated by the Air Force and NRO. Between 1982 and 1992, it conducted 11 shuttle missions that remain top secret." www.businessinsider.com/russia-had-a-secret-space-station-equipped-with-cannons-2016-12

Speaking of that, where's he been? Hasn't been online since January 8th, usually he pops on to moderate the forums and congratulate people for cool stuff like the Orion drive every few days.

You know this mind sound just a bit paranoid(I have been accused of this previously), but for a while there i actually suspected newageofpower to be DeltaV in disguise. Until i see them both in a room i am not entirely convinced otherwise.

Until i see them both in a room i am not entirely convinced otherwise. *shrug* One is a self-assured, occasionally dickish guy who acknowledges errors, is willing to listen to outside contributions and admit mistakes. The other... I've said all I've needed to say. There's not much more to add here. As for paranoia... you seem like the kind of guy who would easily believe conspiracy theories. I suppose qswitched could run an IP trace to see if either of us was an sockpuppet of the other, though there are an insane amount of people in the NYC region.

Woh hold now, i don't BELIEVE conspiracy theories, but i do find the people who do believe them pretty comically entertaining.

If you wouldn't speak to your Granny that way, don't speak to anyone on this thread that way. Ok. So. Again. Have you read the dev log? To reiterate: Children of a Dead Earth is a simulation first, and a game second. No amount of realism was compromised to make things more fun, or to make things prettier. It is science first, everything else second. Despite this, the game still remains fun, but you’ll find it plays very differently than any space warfare game you’ve ever played.

First attempt at a simple cheap laser ship. Made it for my first attempt a laser in the post below. In my tests it beats everything stock and all of my modded missile/coilgun/railgun designs so far. Trying to make something to beat it consistently. Anyone have any small simple cheap lasership designs they've had success with?

First attempt at a laser. So far it beats all the ships I've tried to make to beat it. Set it's range to 1000km. Can take out missiles and drones and ships at range. Does the wavelength range of a laser make any difference in your ingame tests? Is it better to try and get a certain wavelength like near-infrared or ultraviolet? Does it matter? Attachments:
