Hope spiders make a comeback in the fauna update, and maybe a few other critters to scare the pants off you while exploring derelicts too. That's exactly what this game needs; a 9 foot tall armor plated killing machine with scythes for claws and railroad spikes for teeth :eek:. Or worse...

I would love to have a tactical display like that on my ships!

Good idea, but you might want to be able to see the shipyard blocks so you don't build past them.

I tend to find gravity a little broken on ships and stations, it's pretty much optional on a player by player basis. I could be in gravity, but my buddy is still floating through the plaza.

I'm pretty sure that the old maritime laws considered anyone who committed any crime at sea to be a pirate, With the possible exception of privateers who where pirates sanctioned and supported by a specific country, provided they only attacked their rival nations. As for mining in someone...

I'd like to see some piping and coolant lines that can be rotated to face in all directions, some wedges for these blocks would be great too. Right now my engine rooms have piping and coolant lines that only run from side to side. They look wierd running up and down since I can't rotate them.

:D bump. Sorry, I think it's a great idea and I'd hate to see it buried under all the other threads. At least until it gets a recognized or something.

Most AMS turrets are a 1 block cannon/cannon, which only does 1 damage and rapid fire. This is because missiles only have 1 hp, and wasting energy on them with bigger guns isn't going to help any. I doubt even the smallest drones would be threatened by the average AMS, but a multi-role turret...

This sounds like a Launch Rail on steroids :eek:. Personally, I'd rather have the launch rail so my fighters can deploy further and faster (push beams are problematic at best) from the hangar bays on my carrier. Not objecting to the idea, I just don't see a reason for it other than an...

Was thinking that maybe a passive broadcast (not sent out, but just there to read for anyone who scans for it) would be better since you'd have to actively be looking for signals. Perhaps clogging up the chat window with broadcasts wouldn't be such a good idea, so I propose a 2 block system; a...

Done. Couldn't do it from my phone for some reason.

Yes please! :)

Goes without saying. No good getting broadcasts from the whole server when you're just waiting for landing instructions from the station in front of you. I'm thinking within a few sectors, maybe system wide at the most.

You could even find and repair a ship in the graveyard the same as a derelict station, could be some good ship hidden somewhere in there somewhere.

Needless to say there needs to be some spam control in place, like a cool down per broadcast or limiting how many active broadcaster you can have going at any one time. Having a dedicated broadcast channel in the chat window could also be a solution, that way you can mute it if you don't want to...

Something like a ship graveyard you could harvest scrap from. Currently, derelict stations are the main source for scrap, it'd be nice to have another source for salvaging scrap.

Great idea, hadn't thought of specific chat channels. Good one!

Maybe I should've titled this thread "Broadcast Beacons". Sorry, I was rushing out the door when I posted. Anyway, I think there should be setting that allow you to broadcast co-ordinates too, with an option to broadcast only to friendlies so pirate players and enemies can't find your trade...

All great examples, especially the docking example. That would go perfect with my station, since it has a control tower / port authority for directing traffic in the docks.

So had a idea about having beacons that broadcast messages to the chat window when they get picked up on scanners. Simple idea really, you scan a system and if there's a beacon within a few sectors it puts up a message in chat like "Eat at Joe's", "No Trespassing" or "Minefield ahead"...
