That goes back to the "teleport by respawn" option. not very helpful if you are absurdly broke, which apparently is Op's scenario. Though if you do become super broke, there should be an option where you are invited to join the pirate faction or traders guild in single player. However if...

What about a rick and morty style teleport device? like a long range teleporter that will either take you home, or to a really awesome npc station? It would need a cool down to keep it from being abused.

hmmmmmm What about a "designated rescue ship" a special type of ship you leave at your base that can be summoned via a command, and will come straight to you?

What about a "call the trade guild for help" button? though you could always do teleport by respawn option...

Are you talking about the build helper, where you change the dimensions? I am aware. My issue is that: it gets to be a pain in the ass trying to line everything up properly, and also there are incidents where i download ships that are not symmetrical, and trying to fix the wedges on them is a...

What about a chain inhibitor? if we can make a chain drive, why not a chain inhibitor? Theoretically, if a chain inhibitor works, you can mount them on stations, and have them set to a logic clock that creates a nullification field in that sector.....

You can do this in a way with force fields and build helper. Just put your ship in the middle, and make a giant ellipse/sphere and fill that up with forcefield blocks. hot bar a switch to it, and you have a nice set of disposable armor that you can make 4 or 5 blocks deep to screw with the punch...

I hope they need the backup feature, so that we can add new factions, and edit the existing ones. We have so many sci fi ships, that we need to use them.

It gives me time to get my single player capitol ship ready.

Perhaps the best way around all of this is creative use of support systems? Imagine if you can link a stop system, to a power array. Why do this? because it will change the math. Suddenly the power array wants to be a sphere, or a triangle, or a checkerboard non connected pattern. Now you have...

what happens when the cruisers are armed with their own melee pulse drones? and anti fighter drones? and heat seeking swarmer missiles? I can hear the scream of thousands of servers as they die slow painful lag deaths... That sounds kinda awesome, a massive robot fleet battle between swarms...

If you get the time, and it is not asking too much, the Giant floating head from the old Sean Connery movie Zardoz, for reasons.... http://johnnylemuria.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/zardoz.jpg

I have started up modular experiments again. one thing i have discovered is docked, logic operated heat seeking over driven missiles are a terrifying module to add to any ship. if properly docked and self powered, they only take up a small bit of room, and you can passively destroy larger...

I think one option is to have pulse do direct block damage: ignore armor and shields. If they did this, then boarding torpedoes become a thing. Pulse becomes an industrial anti ship torch. This also would all "boarding powerarmor" to become a thing: tiny ships armed with pulse and one other...

I love the planet explorers method, where you use smaller blocks to make weapons and armor. I would have loved a special creative workbench where you make weapons and equipment, with built in effects, that would be tiny. It was how i envisioned robots would be made in the game. Then again, i...

I am going to have to start on the weapons then... How big does a missile+damage pulse +explosive effect have to be to wipe out one planet plate? I understand that the explosive radius cutoff is something like 15 blocks? I want to have 6 planet killing nuke missiles in the front of the ship...

This gives me a crazy idea: home made space lane stations. each station uses a pull effect to pull you into a jump gate. the jump gate spits you out into a new spot, where another station pulls you into another jump gate, until you hit your destination. I don't know how feasible this is...

another question on titans: how much power storage should they have? Currently i am at 16 million, but i am wanting at least 350 to 500 million for a nuke array, heavy overdrive sniper cannon batteries, and some large turrets. I also plan on using support modules as well. The ship is massive...

It is not so much by type, as it is selecting a bunch of blocks, then removing them at once VS removing them individually. I am trying to find a faster, more easier way to remove 40,000 standard armor blocks without clicking each and every one, and i hate the current system of using a giant...

I have been making modifications to some of my ships, and it is taking me forever to remove blocks. The worst part is that these blocks are in odd shapes and designs, so i do not know a quick way to remove them. If i could select each block, have them highlighted in purple, then order them...
