If they’re equal sized, then you get the full bonus, else only a fraction. To calculate the bonus of 1 of the 6 sides, we take the stabilizer group with the most efficient of that side and compare it with the most efficient group on the entire ship. You don’t immediately get the maximum bonus though, as that would be exploitable. The maximum bonus provided by a side, is set in the config so we can balance it if needed. This mechanic does not change your existing ships but it allows you to now put the reactor in different positions with multiple stabilizers closer to it.Ī reactor has 6 relative sides (Front, Back, Right Left, Top, Bottom) and we simply provide a bonus to your overall stabilization for every additional side that contains a stabilization group. We worked on a method to allow this distance to be influenced indirectly by the size and placement of additional stabilizer groups. Stabilizer care about the distance between themselves and their reactor, which encourages you to build in one dimension.
Our goal with this system is to make every entity shape equally viable.
#Starmade reactor update#
The Mako's co-axis shield generators dominate the sides of the vessel and allow it far stronger shielding capacity than a vessel of its size usually would have, and they set the standard for Trident shield generation tech for the next three decades.This update contains some fixes for problems with the last update, as well as a new advanced system for reactor design. Previous starships relied on a combination of a frontal shield pylon and a single cylindrical conformal shield generator, usually at the midsection.
#Starmade reactor generator#
The Mako was the first (manned) class of Trident vessel to be fitted with co-axis shield generator equipment. Two forward mounted fusion missile launchers are available to give the Mako-class even greater firepower and range. Two plasma cannons jut out of the forward tip of the craft these cannons are barely weaker than the plasma beams of a standard Strider-class. The Mako-class has heavy armament for its size all of which is spinal. Three comparably massive sublight engines propel the Mako to speeds comparable to a Swift-class light fighter.Ī powerful thrust redirection system allows Mako-class vessels to rapidly change direction, and to dodge incoming fire effectively. The Mako-class lacks shields compared to its closest military contemporary, the Strider-class, as the Mako focuses on speed and manuverability to the detriment of traditional defensive measures. Crew accomodations are spartan, and are not recommended for use for over a week at a time. The Mako-class has a sparse interior for two crew, a pilot and weapons officer/navigator. The Mako also has a similar external shield generator assembly to the Hawker -class droneship. Most notably the Mako-class has the typical PlazWorks V-Plate cooling system of military vessels, which was omitted on the Sterling-class but kept for the police Type-2.
The Mako-class strongly resembles the civilian Sterling -class Utility vessel and Type-2 police sloop from a side view, but many differences exist between the three vessels. Smaller and faster than the Strider -class corvette, but larger than the typical fighter or bomber craft, the Mako-class fills a gap in the Trident Star Navy's capabilities, as it is able to go almost anywhere a fighter craft can, while having the added bonuses of a marginally larger crew and bigger cargo space.
The Mako-class was originally built as a sloop to be attached to Independent -class Battleships, however Naval Command saw the potential of the vessel and authorised it to be built standalone.
