Hey, I know I'm about 4 months late but it's been years since I've been on here. It's great to know that UQM is still being updated and supported.
I remember that I wanted to add in the 3DO font for the game, though the current version of UQM made it hard to look at. I'm hoping that the new update can implement this.
I still have the files with me, I'll hand them out if you want them.
I'll try out the beta and give my feedback.
Oh, I didn't realize it was released. My bad.

Sure thing a large solar lens can generate way more heat in a specific point, however what is the point of getting such a great heat? Sometimes there is just no point in it. I also use a warm collector actually, and I am more than pleased with it, and it is actually as efficient as a big solar lens, moreover, it is even cheaper than such a great lens. The only problem I had with it, it caused a power outage, and I had to call for https://bates-electric.com/ so they would fix it, as I am kind of afraid to work with electricity.

I work in a hospital lab. My educational background is just a BS in biochemistry, so I'm familiar with the techniques you posted. I've been working in a clinical lab for several years now.
I'll be a bit blunt here. What we use are analyte specific chemiluminescent assays to determine concentrations of analytes in serum. We don't use NMR, although one of our sub-labs that monitors metabolic deficiencies (usually in newborns) does use a HPLC-tandem mass spectrometer.
The easiest way to think about the real world version of this is working with a hundred-thousand dollar Easy-Bake Oven. A manufacturer will supply you with what you need, such as QC, reagent, the instrument and you load everything on correctly. You place the serum/plasma/urine/whatever onto the instrument and it will eventually give you a read out so long as the QC passes which validates the result.

One funny thing I've noticed about the Arilou laser behaviour is that it does not seem to fire at the center of the target ship. Instead, it (often?) fires at the front-left corner or the rear-right corner of the target ship.
I wonder if this is why I still miss sometimes with my arilou shots. It looks like it may be the case. When I miss, it seems like the laser is aiming towards a corner of the ship/sprite that it can't quite hit, instead of the ship center which is closer.
The central hotspot of various ships is sometimes placed away from the ship's true center. Homing weapons aim for this hotspot. I moved that toward the middle of the Yehat Terminator in the last update, but am not inclined to change it for most of the others.
Balance Mod for UQM 0.8 will be released sooner or later. I've had issues with Linux and Windows builds desyncing with each other, and I want to ensure this problem is stamped out before I make any official updates.
