Core-Driving is boring!

[Gandrac]

Just a quick suggestion regarding the usual "I need to get there... better hop into a core to save some time".

I would love to see some diversity in personal-short-range-transportation.

What about allowing players to save a very small (for example 10 Mass) Blueprint which can be spawned via hotkey like a core and picked up again with the salvage beam?

Would be interesting to see what designs people can come up with.

I like this idea. It can also help open up some interesting things like Impromptu races or duels and such.

So long as it is not abused by people that would constantly spawn it in.

What we really need isn't a small ship, but travel-capable suit jets.

Like an ExtraVehicular Activity backpack?

Thrust only works while not affected by gravity.

Has a limited duration of thrust, say 10 minutes of constant thrust, need not be used all at once. Will recover 1 second of thrust for every 10 seconds thrust is not being used.

Has enough thrust to get you up to X% max server speed in 3 to 5 seconds.

While worn it increases the effectiveness and range of both the hand held healing/repair beam and the omni-tool salvage beam by 200%.

Decreases re-arm time of sniper weapon and rocket launcher by 25%.

Increases damage of laser pistol by 25% while reducing rate of fire by 20%

When not worn, it multi-stacks in your inventory with your helmet and all other hand held weapons/tools.

I'd be happy if the core by itself didn't handle like a drunken cow.

Like, spacebikes? Do want.

This is an EVAS-23S it has the mass of 1.8. Since I started to use these I never have had to spacewalk again.
I usually have a small hangar somewhere to carry a few for me and others.

A 10 mass ship would be kinda big for just moving people around.

Eventually, I'd love to see a player "fit" with more suit variation, weapons, etc. The ship core itself I'm not fond of at all tbh, it could eventually be replaced with bridges and cockpits.

Why does it have a build block?

Honestly, a core/thruster/power generator alone is more than good enough for getting around on. When I really wanna move, I toss on a block of overdrive.
