This needs to happen. I\'ve seen so many threads with similar descriptions, all of them wonderful, all of them with their own little twist, and all of them lost to the depths of the suggestion forums. This needs to happen at some point, it is such an amazing idea. Especially wonderful because it...

I have to agree with this, unfortunately. The build block is far too strong right now. I do note, however, that it is useful in some cases. Personally, here\'s how I think build-mode (in general) should work: Build block still exists, but can only be placed on a station. The block you start...

... Indeed. Based on your rather excited response, I\'ll assume that you also agree unconditionally with every other suggestion from the thread :)

Sorry for the long delay before response. I kinda forgot about this thread. Thank you for clarifying on the energy consumption, I had at first read that as a flat decrease, with possible fall-off with more blocks. Not sure why, that wouldn\'t make any sense at all. That seems like a perfectly...

Okay, I think I get what you mean about the thrusters. It makes sense, I see no immediate problem with it, and I\'ll probably end up switching my current section on the subject with that, when I get the time to do it. If I understand you correctly on the FTL section, you\'re suggesting that...

I\'m not against requiring resources like oxygen, nor am I particularly for it. It would be interesting, certainly, but it would be very annoying to deal with, especially with ships that have no interior. I like the idea that the lone astronaut is limited in how long it can be outside, though I...

Okay, it\'s part of the X videogame series. That\'s all I needed to know. Well, the idea of energy crystals as fuel could work.. It doesn\'t appeal to me at all, but I see no reason not to use it. Interestingly, I only learned anything about the X series of games when a recent one went on sale...

Firstly: Oooooohhhh Yes, diminishing returns like all hell. 1F. That sounds entirely plausible. Try throwing together a smaller ship and testing, if it really bothers you. 2E. I\'ve seen you mention X3 a lot on multiple threads. I asked about it on another one, and promptly forgot the name of...

I don\'t see that there\'s much of a problem here. I mean, if the stores have a maximum number of possible credits, and any more dissapear (as the OP implies. I was unaware of this myself) then that should certainly be changed. However, consider that making it harder to get massive ships might...

@steveo53 hold shift while pressing V, it gets all connected weapons blocks. This should happen, I agree. Another way to make this easier would be to add sliders, or at least allow click-holding of the buttons to speed up the process. I\'d like to see both, but either would work.

The problem with higher max speeds is that they\'re buggy. New features in the game shouldn\'t be balanced around the assumption that you\'re going to modify its files before you play it, they should be balanced around the game as it is when you download it. Jcewashere, can you link X3\'s...

Main point of my responses is Gameplay>Graphics 1. Firstly, it would just be another thing for the game to keep track of. Not good. And then, how would you deal with this animation for plexdoors placed around corners (forming a corner themselves)? And don\'t say \"don\'t allow it\", that would...

Well, it seems the wall of text wars begin. 1F. I generally agree with that. I don\'t see exiting the ship core as particularly random, unless I\'m moving, though I must admit I don\'t often build ships with large interiors that would allow alternative exit locations. However, it seems that you...

All right, lots of numbers and math. It\'s too late at night for me to really pay much attention to them, so I\'ll ignore them and edit this post later. Skimming over them, I see no particular problems EXCEPT: Tiers. Having the size of ships matter for a mechanical reason is a bit of a problem...

Okay, thank you for the clarification. Now I can give you a reply which makes sense. I like the idea a lot. Let me just put that out first. I think this would be a great addition to the game. That said let me explain the arguments against it: The first issue with this is how it impacts...
