And remember to bring Oreos!

You could even go one further and have player-aligned patrol drones that patrol in a given pattern.

I'm sad that this doesn't actually work. I wanted to create a teleporter trap that dumps someone in a room composed entirely of lava. As for the original suggestion? I love it. +1 from me.

I've been wondering about this, as a way to make a free-rotating PD turret. Right now, my ships use a 3x3 'coin' PD turret that only rotates along the X axis. What I'd like to do is have a turret that rotates along both the X and Y axes, but without having to have two AIs to handle the...

While the rest of your post I agree with, I do want to point out that this alone reiterates my suggestion for combining Cloak and Jammer into a single block. The sentence above agrees with me that one is useless without the other. If you're talking about draw distances, that's unreliable...

I agree. Speaking of my gripes with Jamming/Cloaking, I've had a few: Jamming and Cloaking are often used together, since the point of both systems is undetectabilit. Why not just make them into the same block? While we're at it, I think Jamming/Cloaking needs tuning. Right now, a...

Yes, yes! To him you must listen! You totally need to build a compact Girl Scout™ cookie drone.

To be fair, that's quite a plot hole. As we all know Federation technology isn't worth the polycarbonate it's made from. Or, from SF Debris' take on Star Trek: Nemesis: Picard: "Made with pride on Earth...for godssakes!"

Conversely, I've seen Shuttlepod One on Enterprise. Brushing aside the fact that I've watched Enterprise at all, I won't be building too many shuttles. Transporters make for way less campy sci-fi, and occasionally can do cool things like be set in a loop to compensate for getting stuck on the...

I agree. In addition to power requirements, having adjacent pads is probably a good idea too - a more powerful transporter, with sufficient power, can transport an object further than a less powerful transporter with less power behind it.

Personally I'd go further, and require that the AI have line-of-sight of a damaged/missing block. An internal repair turret would be nice...for repairing internal damage.

THAT would be so fricking cool.

Another useful thing - since Astrotech Beams are a 'weapon' system, make the AI know to use them on friendly ships that are somehow 'damaged.' I would love to have repair turrets on a base that I could just fly a ship to that start welding a damaged ship back together over time. Additionally...

In bold: my troll senses are tingling. What you do is you create a Damage Pulse drone - make sure it's a very compact design, probably 2..3 x 2..3 - and warp that to someone's teleporter room. Not only will it slowly erode their shields from within, anyone who tries to use the transporter will...

Regarding point #2, I think that the Sensor Computer/Antenna module could use some love. Instead of just de-cloaking/de-jamming ships, it would be a very good idea for a Sensor system to 'scan' a number of sectors based on the ability of the system, centered on your current sector of course...

Oooo! Even better idea (well, in addition to that.) If you put a Gravity Generator adjacent to a Transporter Computer, it automatically puts you in the gravity of the entity that the Gravity Generator is associated to. That sort of plays to the MineCraft-like 'block combos' setup that's...

At the insistence of the Drone R&D thread, I present to you Esthar Fleet Technologies new innovation: the EFS "Oreo" Drone - an assault drone made because here at Esthar Fleet Technologies, we love Oreos, and are always considering how we can weaponize them better.

KingofCalamity... Loadout... Oreo Drones are now a thing. Look upon the cookie, and despair...

At Esthar Fleet Systems, we really love Oreos. They go great with milk, and are at least mildly poisonous to dogs. The discovery of this development - the existence of Oreos - led our best and brightest minds to ask, "What if an Oreo had missiles and engines mounted on it?" The answer is...
