Less of a game suggestion, more of a suggestion for people to think about how they build their ships.
An interesting concept i've had for a while. not sure about anyone else but my idea was ships to be modular mostly for repairs since the parts could easily be swapped out for something more efficient.
Since cargo, power and now thrust can be shared via rails why not make use of it?
(yes there probbably will be some performace issues and what not but it still would make ship repairs a lot easier)
in case the wall of text didnt give you an idea of what i mean this picture will help explain my idea:
A nice thing to see using this system would be that people could create model engines that could be removed from a ship allowing room for upgradeable ships.
Update: After messing around with this for a while the only problem i have ran into so far is how these modules will be swapped since most ships would need that amount of space just empty or an equally sized hole to remove the module. any ideas to get around this would be appriciated ^.^
i'd like your thoughts on this ship system ^.^
