Perhaps a poll would help settle the matter? Maybe produce 3 iterations and see what the majority thinks? :)

Aww, are we to have no-where to rest our heads after a hard day's building? Will our Bot crews have to sleep standing-up after they've spent a whole day doing the mundane tasks we cannot be bothered to do ourselves? Won't someone please think of the AIs?! ;-)

Ominous looking cracks would look extremely good on windows, reactor walls and conduits/pipes, but on normal metal surfaces I agree; the burnt, increasingly molten hole appearance looks better. Since we can't have different damage types for different blocks though, I'd have to go with the holes...

Agreed!

How about increasingly noticeable cracks? In the last few stages of damage the cracks could glow orange or white, implying the heat from the weapons fire is burning/melting the block from within. Not sure how convincing this would look on foliage etc. but who starts shooting at trees in the...

This has been talked about a *lot* already. It's something most of us hope is in the works, but presumably is very low priority for the Devs. My personal ideas to help increase immersion were as follows: Bunk (replaces the Undeathinator) When occupied, it places the Player in a supine position...

All part of God- err, I mean Schema's great plan :) I'm sure this functionality will be available eventually. I guess he'd prefer to finish working on the default stations first.

Ah yes, I remember them! Before they went all black & white with the green canopies? Yes, they were some really good designs :) No harm in taking some "inspiration" from them ;)

That is a nice re-design. Looks less blocky overall but still very sinister, especially from the back. Good Pirate ship :-) What about re-designing the canopy to look like a pair of eyes? Might make the ship look even more evil? Yellow glass would look wicked :-)

I'm sure this will end up an official feature in the game and wont be left to the modding community. Schema has said more than once he wants to create a game with rules which are as customisable as possible to enable players to create the universe they want. I suspect this wont come until the AI...

Why not? Surely creating new threads about the same things just clutters the board up?

I'm hoping for "inspired" :-)

Nice ship :-) The original looked very "busy" around the cockpit/cannons area which contrasted badly with the relatively smooth wing and engine area. I think the updated version is better. Good Turret placement too. Overall, the design again reminds me of something from the 8-bit era of...

Cool. I'm looking forward to seeing your Pirate ship now :-)

I like the design very much. Reminds me a little of the player's ship from the old Uridium games on the Commodore 64 :) If I may offer a slight criticism: You say it's intended to be a Trade Guild ship? During the Space Station contest, Calbiri advised that Guild installations (and also...

Totally agree but this idea was suggested aaages ago: http://starmadedock.net/threads/chairs-n-viewscreens-and-stuff.75/#post-208

Being able to enter the Turret Dock would be cool, but having linkable chairs/consoles is much neater as you can position the chair anywhere.

I'm afraid I haven't tested this so I don't know the answer. Please experiment with it and let us all know :-)

I like this idea. It'd be great to have both this and my idea for the option of linkable chairs.

You're welcome :-)
