I\'m really sorry, this is the first idea I\'ve thought is truely terrible and has nothing at all to add. A story mode just would ruin the game, even adventure maps like in Minecraft wouldn\'t work, and I\'ll try to explain why. Firstly ships aren\'t a set size or shape, designing corridoors...

I would estimate each shot requiring at least 3 times the amount of data. Imagine you had 1 pixel, to make it black or white you would only need 1 byte of information, however if you were to add RGB this requires 3 bytes of informatio, it\'s a similar idea here. Each and every pixel of the shot...

I hate to be \"that guy\" but a big issue would be that every single shot would contain a vast amount more data to determine colour, it could possibly work with adding just a red, green and blue shot, but the idea of a full RGB system would add massive lag to the game. Sorry but I just don\'t...

OK I couldn\'t be bothered to read the great long walls of text, but I did read the first post, and I just have this to say. I like the big holes left over from fire fights! Don\'t get me wrong I like the HP idea, as it\'s rather silly that there is one block that you need to find and destroy to...

I have a quick question with regards to #8 and #9. Have I misunderstood or couldn\'t you, with #8, just quickly sell your damaged ship and then purchase the fully repaired ship from the catalogue without incuring the 10% per block charge of #9?

How about both? You could have my idea for ridonculous distances, maybe the portal gates are only situated every 5 sectors and can\'t be made by players, and maybe taking into account Fiestaguys idea of then being able to instantly travel between two portals you\'ve discovered some high cost...

Oh and also whilst at it, how about a sticky with the planned features (possibly just a link to the wiki planned features page) at the top of the suggestions thread, to stop people suggesting already planned features?

I\'ve been reading a lot of these hyperdrive ideas, and thought I would post my suggestion here. I really feel that instantly jumping anywhere is a little unrealistic, even FTL isn\'t instanteous (At the speed of light it would still take us 4 years to reach the nearest sun from our own -...

Hi just a quick message to the mods. Can we get a sticky of a good bug report at the top of the Bugs thread? It won't get rid of, but it might help, with some of the terrible bug reports (things such as "Game keeps crashing when starting" with nothing else). I'd suggest something like:-...

This is giving me a complete flashback to the Feed The Beast forums when rumours of the Yogscast doing a FTB let\'s play first emerged. I\'ll say the same thing now as I said then (ironically this time I\'m on the other side, coming in post-Yogscast-invansion rather than prior) unruly community...

If you move the files out of your user profile to a folder that has full permissions to everyone (say create a new folder on the root of c, and give Everyone full access permissions), does it still do the same thing? I seem to be finding in my day-to-day job supporting Win7 that the user...

I\'m confused a bit, are you suggesting an enhancement to the exisiting factory system in the game? Because you seem to be implying that there is currently no way to \"craft\" blocks, because there is a factory system in the game, and is really the only viable way to get blocks in a vast...

I\'m pretty sure Schema has said he won\'t be releasing an API for a while, not until the game is a bit more stable and not updating so regularly - as every update would break the mods (I present Minecraft as a perfect example of this).

Actually the speed limit can be increased, it\'s a server side setting, though from what I understand the game gets a bit jittery if you up it too high...

Oh, but surely this would be one of the great things about this feature, small fighters able to hone in on the manoeuvring thrusters to then disable a larger ships ability to spin around quickly and annihilate an entire fleet...
