We need a stalker drone too! SE has it alread :)

any idea how we can get thrust control?

@ Dev-Team
Their sensors are very nice to detect an area with few lag.

 

[Firestorm29]

Oh, the AI already tracks stuff, and at a much farther range than the tiny range those SE sensors can.

 

[NeonSturm]

Previously only enemies, need to look again into a bobby

 

[CyberTao]

I heard about them sensors and the like, I don't think we really need them though.
Once we get the crew AI properly added, I assume those functions would also carry over to Bobby AI (which would get more expensive iirc). Just seems kinda redundant.

 

[Firestorm29]

Also, fleet commands can help expand these tracking functions I would imaging. I agree we don't need sensors, outside of tracking, most their functionality is in those logic area blocks.

Space Engineers: bane of my existence. So similar to my beloved Starmade, yet so radically different. I can't ever get into it, no matter how many times I try. It sucks because SE has some super cool shit built into it, like the ability to manipulate physical blocks and the like.

Im with you, bud.

I go play SE and I'm like THIS IS SO COOL. I could put this on my Death Star....

....which is 160m across.....

Dammit SE. Back to Starmade. :D

I imagine an antenna which is C=controller, X=metal-mesh, L=logic:
L L L L C X X X X
3 2 1 0 C 0 1 2 3

if you now slave the logic and mesh to the controller, it works like an input from a signal source to the logic.

How to select the signal source? I think every 0.5 seconds on source should broadcast. The more sources the antenna can receive the longer the update rate.

Length = frequency capped on the lower of linked mesh-length and linked logic-length both.

Output of each logic = output of the antenna.
Input to the antenna = 1 input to each logic.
Works by distance to the antenna axis.​

closest ( 0 ) should be the clock.
next few (1+) should check the ID of the sender (else you might get hacked
last few should receive the signal.​

would like to see hacker logic :D

I suggested RC drones a while ago soooo... In case if this gets implemented and KSW will blame Schema for copying he would just say that he did it according to my idea.

 

[NeonSturm]

But with limited cargo, a drone which stays close to you but a bit away to allow you building could be very useful

Also we could build TRAINS!!! we need space trains!!! :D

Do ya think I dunno that already?

You need >smaller< trains too :p

Something that does not consist of 1 part

It's not like KSW invented drones... Attempting to blame Schema of plagiarism would just attract laughing.

Ye gawd, next thing you know you'll want merry-go-rounds and roller coasters. Hahaha lol

YEEESSS !!!

You know I was joking a bit too?

I just thought it would be a very nice feature with the upcoming limited inventory if you can control a chain of 3x3x3 cargo pots following you.

 

[BlackEyez]

as you can see, my response was a tongue in cheek statement. What's with the limited inventory of which you speak? Say it isn't true......

Do you think it's very realistic to have 999'999 m^3 hull in your personal backpack?
Neither it''s good for balance to have 1-3 plex stores be able to carry a titan.

In future releases you will need more Plex-Storages.

Look at cargo capacity in Space Engineers. Maybe we will have not that extreme low, but you get the idea.

 

[BlackEyez]

Ah man, party foul

There are a few pointers that SM could take from Space Engineers. Like chairs.

I like the idea of remote control, I think it'd suit SM more than SE because of SM's planets. You could make scouters.

How would it be balanced though? Expensive? Gas Guzzler? Limited range?

I like the idea of remote controlled chairs too!
