Yeah funny, still, it wouldn't allow for a true survival-style game-play where you start off with nothing. If you have no ability to generate power, then there is no game.

Interesting idea... but there also needs to be individual permissions too, so factions members can protect their ships and stuff from being raided by fellow faction members. Adding an "add personal signature" to the faction module would solve this.

This would greatly simplify weapon and salvage beam logic from 8 blocks down to three by removing the need for timing circuits.

I'd be okay only with being able to tell a ship with an AI module to fly to a specific sector, but not actually able to control the ships. This would allow you to command drones to return home, or back to your ship. During auto-pilot, however, these ships shouldn't be able to fire their weapons...

But there is no sound in space... in space nobody can hear you scream.. :p So yeah this would be kind of silly to add... and cause serious space-nerd rage.

The only real way that multiple monitors can be handled is to use the "fake full screen mode", basically it's a window that has no window decorations, and takes up the entire screen. A second window would then be created and positioned where the second screen would be. That's pretty much it...

Actually, I'd love it if a chest was destroyed by a warhead block that it didn't drop anything... it would make self-destruct systems all the more fun.

That would be difficult to implement. Besides, people would just spread their subsystems all over their ship. anyway.

Well.. it could be possible if the rail docker could be activated via logic--which it can't be at the moment. If it could, then logic could detect that the canister has been undocked, then fire the docking beam on the other side of the canister. A pad of rails could then direct the canister...

It would be nice... but I think it's fun to figure this out by flying too close and taking damage... the you know not to do that again :P

I'd like to see this too. It would be handy esp. when a factory is hooked up to a ton of factory enhancers... Currently I'll use multiple factories to produce 1, 10, 100, xxx blocks. With this I won't need as many, and can attach a factory to storage, let it run, and not worry about checking up...

Yup, that would work too. I've suggested something similar (making solar panels or something), or at least make the power supply beam part of the space suit just like the salvage beam is. Unfortunately this is a game-breaking issue when all gear is dropped on death and and you spawn in a...

Imagine servers breaking with a cannon that fires far too many bolts per seconds? Imagine overpowered weapons that break the whole concept of balancing! Interesting idea... but the system is fine the way it is for now. There's been a lot of work re-balancing the weapons already.

Yup, I find that quite annoying as well.. Also the filter is pretty much useless for finding blocks.

Well.. I haven't tested it TBH. It might only work if there are active players in both sectors.

There is the wireless remote block-- but that'll activate any block it's attached to, even if it's in different sectors... but actually I'd like to see this too. It would allow a better method of telling a station with a complex rail system in enclosed spaces for docking and undocking.... or for...

Stations, on most servers, and in the default game, cost money, which, when starting off, new players won't have. So they're left with two options: build on a planet, or build on an asteroid. There is a certain aesthetic to an asteroid base vs. a planet base--- also, an asteroid base doesn't...

Stop effect computer attached to logic solves that problem. True someone could push a base, but they wouldn't be able to bypass it's defenses by one-shooting it with a huge salvager array.

The idea is pretty simple... If you create a basic factory, and can't power it, you will still be able to run the basic factory. Instead of using power, it'll consume crystal and metal (like using them as a battery). In addition to the required material to make a block, the basic factory, if it...

This would be fairly easy to add to the game as it wouldn't require any new blocks. Basically, the idea is, if an entity is able to recharge shields (has both power blocks and a shield recharger), then salvage beams can't be used on it. This would make things like asteroid bases more viable...
