      Okay, first, it's possible to launch one drone at a time with one button, and retrieval of said drones is also possible with one button, of course, it's not easy. Things like this take a huge amount of space, that said, there is a point where you need more than one button too. Personally I feel...

      You could also limit this dimension's size based on cost of the "computer" block, (e.g. you could have really expensive big computers, but if they're destroyed you lose all that functionality, or you could have small computers with limited space that are cheaper to produce and buy, but then...

      Alright zombie mouse, I see your point, and it's a good one. In the end, the devs can't keep everyone happy, but whether this is a block-building game or not, it's also a space game and I feel that they've already let us build computers with logic blocks, it just feels wrong that simple logic...

      I agree that it's not for everyone, but I also feel that it would allow enough functionality to justify adding it for those who do want it. Simply make it a config option, allow servers to enable the block if they want it. As pointed out before, even those who do not want to write a line of code...

      Could the performance of a computer block system be done so that hundreds of players could play on the same server comfortably at the same time? Yes. Is it easy? No. However it can be done. I'll (again) refer you to the way computercraft works, if a piece of code isn't letting the server run...

      Intelligence Systems and Ship Insturments

      All right, this thread has been dead for a while. I feel that it isn't particularly accessible especially since there is a lot of explanation which doesn't make sense. The thread is also quite technical and I feel that there has been either some miscommunication or a serious lack of knowledge...

      Intelligence Systems and Ship Insturments

      I think you have extensive good ideas here, my implementation strategy was simply a rough draft, and I like your idea of achieving effects with slave systems. That said I have to note that despite being amazing looking, parsing 3D holographic display specifications is a much more involved case...

      Intelligence Systems and Ship Insturments

      If you are solely interested in the suggestion skip to [The Actual Suggestion] below. [Preface] Okay, so we have a good game...it lacks features, those that are there aren't finalized but the ship building is wonderful. The ability to CUSTOM BUILD real multicrew ships is wonderful to behold. I...
