Hey everyone, sorry if it is a duplicated topic but I just made a quick web tool for you to calculate your ship class regarding Devices / Lights / Triangles. Here you go Have fun. RexXxuS
Not to be negative... but, you notice there in the info panel where you get your lights, devices, and triangles? Look up a couple lines... it already tells you the class.
Thanks. I know It was because of people don't even know this and people keep asking me all the time what limit is it, why I can't spawn, etc. Now I have more silence RexXxuS
Hey, quite a lot.. for example plants, lights, stairs, windows, fridges, turrets, etc. Basically everything what is heavy to render and is not a typical "block".
@everyone I re-coded the Emp Class Calculator a lot (and updated to latest formula). You have now an interactive output how to change your inputs for Class X Link to the tool RexXxuS
What is the average triangle count per block? I'd like to calculate how many blocks I can put to my desing.
Hey, This depends really. In general the more complex the block the more triangles you have. But not always. Just look at the shape of the block and imagine where triangles could be. That would be your count then. Also keep in mind that the new BP Class formula takes "real" triangles into account. Here a little illustration I made Even though the left construct has two cubes which would have mean in the old formula 24 triangles (faces) it now means only 20 because the four in the middle got "merged" what is very good now. The pyramid however has 6 faces and merging these will be more difficult. RexXxuS
Correct me if I'm wrong. Now it will be better to create giant cube as PVP CV? Days of designs with a lot of pyramids are gone?
Tricky topic in the PvP scene right now. At the one hand yes because these pyramid PvP killer ships will now go from Class 3 to 5 or 7. And due server restrictions in MP you won't be able to fly / spawn these anymore. Cubes or a mix of both however will be a lot better now. However on the other hand people still experience some "lagshots" now and then. That is the whole reason for the pyramids. So a mixture of cubes and pyramids would make sense. But if we somehow would find the reason for these sporadic lagshots you could fly only in cheap cubes around, yes. RexXxuS
What was the lagshot about? Was it about ammo not exploding on first layer of armor? And pyramids helped for that? Thanx for help anyway.
@RexXxuS Could you share the new formula so I can update my tool too. Thanks Edit: Just saw you provide the link to the formula on your tool page
I liked the idea of the tool, but you can keep the calculation of how many of this or that i need to remoove do down /up the class. For me, this is the best trick of your tool. But thanks for the work
Always wanted to understand why the number of chairs, stools and cabinets increases the size class. But looking at such a simple calculation to become notorious. What larger, mount of stools or a pair of guns? Yes, stools win.
