      Halp! My ship is too strong!

      Well on my current server, my ship is actually so tough that it regenerates it\'s shield faster than anything can take it down. I\'ve flown through nests of pirates which would eat my last ship for breakfast, yet they can\'t even scratch this ship. I get the feeling it\'s probably a lot bigger...

      Regarding heat seeking missiles

      I think a way of getting around that was previously mentioned: they don\'t detect anything that\'s attached to your ship. Or, maybe an idea would be to make it so that the targeting doesn\'t kick in until a few seconds after they fire. So for example, they\'d be fired as dumb missiles, but 4-5...

      Regarding heat seeking missiles

      I seem to confuse people a lot, don\'t worry about it :P As to the AMCs heating up blocks, I\'d have said it\'s a fairly simple calculation. Assign each block a value named \"heat\". Each time something happens that would cause that value to rise (being hit by a shot, flying too close to the...

      Regarding heat seeking missiles

      Perhaps a fix to that would be to make it so that ships of your own faction aren\'t factored into the missile\'s targeting routines. They\'d simply not exist as far as the missile is concerned. As to the sun thing, if you were ridiculously close then yes I\'d say it would, but maybe a way around...

      Regarding heat seeking missiles

      I think you missed my point here. If the ship is \"inactive\" that is to say, hasn\'t been used for a while (would be longer in the case of larger ships) then the generators and whatnot would be offline or at the very least in a power-saving state where they would emit less heat than usual. Same...

      Regarding heat seeking missiles

      So after an unfortunate accident on a server that I play on, I got to thinking. Heatseekers, as the name implies, target the hottest thing in the area. It goes without saying that a ship that is "powered down" e.g hasn't been moving for a while would lose it's heat signature. Therefore, perhaps...

      General points of improvement

      Something I think would be pretty cool is if the blueprint for your ship interfaced with the repair laser. Say for example that you\'d lost some chunks of your ship in a fight. Simply load the blueprint into the repair laser, then fire it at the ship. It slowly replaces said blocks whilst...

      Jet pack

      I think it\'s probably assumed that your character has some form of jet pack/EVA suit to move in space at all; if they didn\'t, you\'d just be floating around unable to move yourself. That said, I do quite like the idea of being able to \"upgrade\" your suit to make it faster. It could also be a...
