@Vandruis @Ranzeth @TinyDewDrop @AlexAKM @nauttdog @Kustom It’s an odd list - but you know why you’re in it. We have an opportunity here to test a release using “free” ships. Let’s use this chance to see if lagshots still happen, if lag is better or worse and so on. LBP has been doing it on our o…

If normal cubes simply did not “meld” with other cubes and rendered each face all the time lag would be significantly lowered (because we would not need to use special blocks) and clipping shots that go thru collision detection would be significantly reduced. What methods they are using for collisio…

Here’s the funny thing. Polygon count wise, slope has fewer - AND provides white space. Everyone use slopes!

but those gaping holes from the sides of them :smiley: I hate having to place every one quarter rotated haha. They are what i currently use except on the warp core, as well as actual full block white spacing.

Yeah that’s why I do a layer facing one way, another layer facing another and so on.

Im actually somewhat surprised that this issue has been misunderstanded for this long we were doing this as far back as 2.0 to reduce shots passing thru collision on different servers. It has been widely discussed on various Empyrion forums.

I maintain that something changed about turrets in 5.0 from 4.0 and that’s what’s causing a lot of lag from additional collision detection. Maybe not on purpose but every conversation would start the same way. I booted up 5.0. I spawned my ship. The turrets shoot a lot more and drills through the…

Honestly as far as NA server goes I just think you guys are seeing more opposing ships that have similar clip shot protection as your own and it is ramping up the graphics load when light sources from explosions and turret fire interact with all those polys.
