Welp, I couldn't get to ship design, probably due to the update, so I've erased all my designs and progress, and am starting from scratch again. same, for me it was lasers, THEY ALL BROKE, ALL OF THEM |

I'm sure they can be reoptimized. It also seems that counter-battery lasers are out. Las turrets seem MUCH more resilient now. I figured something was fishy about them, but now I'm a bit disappointed haha. |

qswitched, tell me you have a Patreon. You've been doing a terrific job in terms of responding to feedback from the community and creating new features, that I feel that I need to provide a tangible expression of my satisfaction.

Or a paypal. Or a physical address so we can pool resources together to send you some hookers & blow. |

Bulk UHMWPE seems to have yield and ultimate tensile strengths round the wrong way. By the way, what is the regular polyethylene? LDPE? qswitched -SAMA WRY ARE MY GUNS STILL LIMITED TO 50 METERS IN BARREL LENGTH THIS IS RACISM AGAINST RAILGUNS In the new Limits.txt there is an entry like this: RailsSubModule
Thickness_m .01 10
Length_m .1 50Feel free to change that second length number to, say... 9999999.  |

Also, I was looking at RTG Isotopes, for a drone... is Pu-244 supposed to cost a Zc for a single kilogram of it or is that a bug? That's actually been in the game for a while, and don't think it's a bug. Pu-244 is supposed to be a real pain in the ass to produce. On a side note, how to confirm there's been a new patch:  RIP Silver, we will always love you. |

Another note, Diamond as a barrel armor seems to provide strength without inhibiting cooling of the barrel.

The savings in volume and weight ensures that they are cheaper too... Is this expected? |

On other note, distributed fire is fucking good and awesome. Because we need them now due to the stock drones going back to be THE demonic spider of CoaDe. Why? Because they have a sloped armored face now and they went from one shot kill to eat bullets for breakfast. Not sure how well they do against laser but I believe the answer is somewhere between 'Oh shit, laser doesn't work now!' to '*INCOHERENT SCREAMING OF HORRIFIED CREWS*" |

I just noticed...
Searchable modules in the editor!
Now we just need it for the materials themselves.
Edit: My gerd, it's there too!

My lasers didn't broke, but the game is updated. Is it because Ce:LLF?
It seems that electric motors are inferior to momentum wheels... Can't get them to spin past ~2 deg/s without having to make the turret larger.
