Can't tell you how many times I had to scan my list of BPs looking for the right turret:mad:.

I'd rather be able to electrify things, like mesh blocks. Electric fences anyone?

Call me OCD, but being able to sort my saved templates into folders would cut down on having to search my massive list of prefabs for what I want. Currently, I have to use rather long names to sort them like "column grey hull 3x3x10 with scaffold latice".

Shops, resturants, pubs, casinos, hotel rooms, etc. So many options for rentable spaces on stations it boggles the mind, why is this not a thing yet?

It's basic frequency harmonization, if both the shields and the transporter frequencies match then they don't disrupt each other, if they're different then your boarding party will have its atoms scattered. Naturally, I think transporters should have a failsafe to keep disruptions from...

I can't speak for everyone else here, but the only place I would put transporters on a ship is in a designated transporter room. As for my stations, transporter pads would be located in a heavily defended customs area where invaders would have to get through several layers of security before...

This solves a big problem I had with building a large cargo freighter, managing how to get it in and out of the cargo hold. I originally had huge doors that opened up the entire cargo bay and a smaller tug ship to move them around. Now I could streamline the process using a bulk cargo...

Frankly, I think you should be able to transport to faction ships without affecting shields at all, and you have to reduce shields to 0 on enemy ships to get 100% lock on. As for friendly non faction ships, it should depend on permissions.

I was pretty sure I saw that on TNG in some episode. Thanks.

Speaking of away teams, being able to lock on to an astronaut and beaming him aboard would be pretty cool.

Doesn't star trek have it so that transporters are modulated to match the shield frequency of the ship they're on so you don't have to drop shields? So if you know the shield frequency of the ship you're trying to transport to then you neither of their shields should need to be down. Correct me...

Updated the OP to show what ideas we've discussed so you don't have to read the whole thread to get the jist of things.

Could just be that players can use undeathinators because they are the elites of the Fronteer, and the lowly Daves are the plebs that must live mortal lives. I could see players paying a fee to bring a dead npc back to life, but they couldn't do it on their own. It'd be a shame to lose an npc...

I tagged Bench a while back, but he must have missed it.

If anyone out there has ever played Space Hulk from 40k, then having this would be perfect for that type of event! Imagine a titan sized derelict randomly warping through the server with monsters and loot for those brave enough to navigate it's claustrophobic hallways? Sounds like fun and profit...

Last bump, I swear :D. It's a great idea, with mostly positive feedback from the community. Just wish one of the devs or someone on council could give it a thumbs up if they think it's worth being in the game. If not, then the thread will just have to be buried.

Uhm... No, I think not. Thrust doesn't multiply with mass. Mass reduces acceleration. Maybe you mean multiplied by the number of thrusters? Fuel is still under debate ATM, but there are more than a few threads discussing the subject right now. The problem with your outline of the three...

I think it would be better to C+V a crew member to a specific computer/station if you want them to man that station, like a turret or a weapon computer. If your crew member is a security specialist, then he'll patrol the ship looking for intruders. It all really depends on the class you assign...

That works, we'll go with that.

Yes to painting grey blocks. Hate having to replace all the hull with a different color just to have a repaint of a ship I've already built.
