Read by Council Forcefield not solid block now that we have fleets

Now that we have fleets i am requesting that ships can pass trought forcefield doors like starwars.
And that the pickup nblocks can be merged with the forcefield

The whole point behind a force field is to be solid.

However, it would be interesting to hook up doors and forcefields to faction blocks, to allow friendly ships to auto-open doorways as they pass through. And hopefully auto-close it again once they are clear.

Wouldn't activation gates and logic open/close force doors for this purpose?

 

[Lord_Greyscale]

Aye, they do.

As to the OP, I recall reading that StarMade Force-fields were supposed to be ship-permeable.

Instead they're non-permeable to everything.

I like the force-field blocks for small areas, but I would prefer a controller/module system (similar to warp gates) for setting up a large hangar force-field. Then it could just be a visual effect across the opening, without all the laggy clunky "door" blocks.

 

[jayman38]

There is something just so cool about a forcefield conforming to the outer skin of a ship passing through. (as opposed to opening up the whole field like a door) However, to make it work easy in StarMade, we may have to put up with the forcefield passing through all internal spaces inside a spaceship as they intersect.

Well, I can see where you're going with this.. HOWEVER, it would need to be a new block, just for this purpose, and only take shield damage. Once shields are down, damage would pass right through it...along with air, should that ever get added as a game mechanic. I could see this being build in the same way warp gates are built, emitter blocks surrounding the area to be shielded in this way.

Water deserves to be a permeable substance as well.

This feature should be added to the current force-field blocks. It seems pretty dorky that they take damage and are destroyed like other blocks.

This sounds familiar... :D
