      Shipyard improvement

      Ya, it's almost too much to hope for. I would love to have this and, at the same time, hate for my enemies to have this. = o Final answer?..........yes please.

      Gravityfield Block

      I love the presentation...and the idea is cool too. I hope this actually is feasible because it would open up the doors to more fun traps and useful people-movers for stations and large ships. This system would simplify the logic for that tremendously.

      No shapes or groups for energy to get better returns.

      I could not disagree more. Building games are inherently creative and attract a better class of gamer because they are challenging. If a little learning curve is enough to turn someone off SM then the filter is working. Sheeple who are satisfied with games that hold your hand down well trodden...

      Public min-maxing should stop somewhere at 80..95%

      I'll quote God now: "Well don't!" Why on earth would you want customize a Min/Maxed ship? Someone else went to aaaaaaaallllllllll that trouble so you would not have to! :confused: Just pointing out that this theorhertical (sp intended) OP argument would apply seldom if ever. Ships come in an...

      Planned More Rail Dockers: Ship, Turret, and Ship Part.

      We could accommodate all the rail-door and other moving greeblies with the addition of three useful technical blocks: -Hinge blocks. -Slider-blocks. -Greebly-rotator. How they would actually function is just a matter of engineering but the main idea is this: they link movable parts that are...

      Storage Sort

      Yes, I am well aware. I generally use the same custom sized windows all the time. I would also welcome a save system for sorting-templates that would allow me to have two templates for different window sizes. It would help that too. And Yes, I agree with your addition of shop-sorting for the...

      Public min-maxing should stop somewhere at 80..95%

      OP is a fine philosophy suitable for poems and academic discussions. Like most fine ideals this concept won't survive in the 'real' world because it is fragile and does not compete well. It also a red-herring. There were two guys in my calculus class who had programmable calculators. They were...

      A Simple Trapdoor.

      Great idea. I would prefer not to use a solution that involves a rail-entity. A trapdoor could also have another fun use...as an actual trap-door, you know, for like setting traps and stuff. :eek: *A more boring solution would change the way logic interacts with plex-doors, blast-doors and...

      How to efficiently copy/paste in advanced build?

      Minecraft Worldedit had this copy/paste working perfectly years ago. It is very simple. When you made a copy of an area the bounding box showed you where to put the 'reference-block' (bottom-right corner I think). All you had to do was add a single reference-block in the corner then copy the...

      Storage Sort

      A very useful feature would be a button that takes a snapshot of the current storage block's sorting. The snapshot could then be saved for later use as a template for sorting ... forever afterwards. Now that would be a breakthrough!. Everyone could devise their own systems of sorting, once, and...

      Hand-held Astrotech beam

      A solution to those pesky holes in your ship. After you have rebooted battle damage and paid the shop mechanic to get your armour HP topped up you still have those darn gaps where systems used to be. Let's upgrade 'Healing beam' to actually fill in those blanks. -Healing beam still repairs...

      Small Arms, Combat, and Loot

      Welcome to the Dock EP96. Whew...quite the wall-o-text. I skimmed your post and I will say that you have many good ideas. The forums encourage people to limit their thread to one main idea. This allows for a focused discussion, and lets not forget that the purpose here is to offer up popular...

      Turret placement help needed <---Moderator, can you close this?

      1000+ turrets eh?............ I suggest you modify your plans. That is a bit ambitious. What is the largest ship you have completed and tested before this one?

      Reduceing the size of turrets with weapon emitter blocks

      Brains... (zombie attracted to necro-post). :rolleyes: I think the way the weapons work are well balanced between turret and main weapons. After all, this is game and balance trumps 'I wanna'. Movies have to have dramatic looking battles and logic may fall prey to the needs of the plot. Films...

      Planned AI movement for better dogfights

      This is what I am finding non-intuitive: When I am at maximum speed moving straight ahead and then when I apply thrust upwards, downwards , left or right I loose maximum velocity (the meters/second bar dips). Why? My dampers should only impede movement when I am at full stop (or when no people...
