Depends. Since it\'s based on randomized recipes, one might argue that he instead was amazingly lucky.... which means that in a multiplayer server, such a recipe would just even be moreso coveted and become an element adding to the dynamic of a multiplayer server asvarious factions might wishes...

Someone with -lots- of salvage beams array on a ships(87 is not much if you can, say, \"mine\" 10 blocks all at once). Not the most precise of mining method, but hey, if quantity is really all you\'re looking for and don\'t mind a more strip-mine approach... Also, to the OP.... lucky bastard :p

I must second Fireside here. I don\'t think something like restone/wiring/tubing is neccessary right now. And an additional reason for this? There\'s already a bit of a system already present. Just look at how you connect cannon blocks to a computer. You already have a connection system in the...

An interesting potential fix for the drone issue might be the addition of a tractor beam allowing you to grab and auto-dock unmanned ships(like drones). Otoh, a system of identification might be required in some way to make sure only you could grab your drones this way. Then again, it just...

Note the amount of items required can still be modified in server configs(and the default amount is still prone to be balanced out later on). Also, I get the feeling looking at how things are(and even how things -were- setup due to the many factories required) that the devs -do- want starting...

A way to fix this might be two possibility. One would be how AMCs scale up in power with increased size, the other depends on the possibility of weapons not yet developped and future balance tweak to AMC once these weapons are introduced(this IS still an alpha at the end of the day). One: More...

It would be neat indeed... but require the hiring, commissioning or volunteering of a musician in the first place.

The idea, I think, is not for a fighter-type craft, but for larger ships. The ability to put viewpoints(cockpits) and weapons able to be oriented in different directions than purely forward lookin/firing would actually help a great deal in larger ships like battleships and so on. Similarily...

Well as said, it\'s \"His\" game. And maybe that\'s the thing, that he doesn\'t want \"big ships\" being the only direction of design progression, just one of many with both it\'s advantages and flaws inherent to the design.... like other designs could have their own flaws and advantages.

That\'d be an interesting suggestion though the matter would be to see if it would be possible to code at all in the game\'s engine.

That\'s one of the things I\'m arguing. People focus so much on the shield change that they forget everything else around the ship. Why are people angry about the shield change? Because their ship can be very rapidly annihilated once their shields drops. Why are their ships annihilated so...

Personally I see the shield nerf as a good first step toward the rebalance of weapons, who will annihilate a ship that is without shields. Annoying for the suddeness of it and te fact weapons haven\'t been touched yet... but neccessary to bring down to the level of desired reflection of how...

To be fair, in this regard, I wonder if the issue is really the new weakness of shields(many do agree the nerf was a good thing to rebalance things a little) but rather the still impressive(if not sometimes ridiculous) abilities of weapons to vaporizes blocks when reaching a certain point. Many...

Then perhaps there should be just an addition to remote-control turrets and their ilk. Or perhaps you should consider getting friends to play the turret as is done with a realistic multiple-crewmen ship. Or you know, try to go for another design than a lumbering capital ship you do not have...

Then perhaps the problems is not that shields have been weakened, but that hulls haven\'t been strenghtened in turn to compensate. Or that weapons which destroy lots of blocks like the missiles haven\'t been looked into yet. Recall, this is not a complete game. It\'s not even a beta. It\'s an...
