What would be more ideal is if the armor blocks are in the middle of the ship, where they have the least amount of angular inertia. Moving on, having both armor blocks in front is still not good. If you can, then it is not a necessary part of the connection and thus counts as a separate connection that’s not part of the stick, thus can be destroyed with ease. When in doubt, try deleting the block in safe mode. As such, the corner block would be easily shot off as it is not protected by the mechanic. When you have blocks jointed like this, the corners and edges where they meet, count as connected.Īs you can see, that corner block is made redundant as the diagonal blocks actually are connected to one another. This effectively works identically to above. After all, a stick can bend, and still be a stick, can it not? Now I hear you say, armor blocks at the ends make the angular inertia absolutely massive and would make the ship behave terribly. Is it fair? I’ll touch on that at a later chapter. Voila, that is the simplest example of how one can abuse this mechanic. But first let’s get to some very simple examples. So how does this affect you? Well in many ways actually. Next I’ll show you how this benefits you. So in this instance, despite being connected at the hull blocks, the hull connection would still connect the stone blocks, and thus now the first 3 rods can be shot off easily. The final rod, the one where the stone block would eventually rely upon, would benefit.įurthermore, the connections to one another do not have to be immediate to count. Logically speaking, this should be a stronger set up, but due to this mechanic, the first 2 rods to be destroyed do not benefit from this arrangement and can be easily destroyed. Note that ANY additional ways the two blocks are connected and thus no longer relying on the rod to stay connected would nullify the effect until all other connections are shot off.įor instance, now it is connected together with 3 rods. However if you were to break it off, you would need to do as much damage to the rod as the big stone block that would fall off when the rod does break. The rod holding two big chunks of health is very thin.
