      Reactor Chamber effects

      Great idea, but why not just an all-round mass reduction chamber in the mass chamber family? Miniaturization chamber maybe? Affects mass for tractor beams, thrust, jumping, collisions, etc.

      How to generate more power?

      Starbilizer confirmed. I think they need to build-prohibit the area around a star that takes damage.

      How to generate more power?

      Impressive! That must have taken many, many stabilizers, because I built a 5-million-block, level 50 reactor once... trying to see whether it caps at L50 - it doesn't but even L50 is impossible for any practical purposes even on a station. The tooltip for L50 says it wants TEN MILLION...

      Factory manager block

      I think you may be right, but... all the factories use inventories that - I believe - are technically a form of GUI anyway. When I set up a manufacturing station with 10 or 15 different assembly lines making mostly weapon products, I am already dealing with a couple dozen GUI inventories...

      Make Chamber Size Reflect Its Capacity Draw

      So if a chamber uses 12.5% of its reactor's capacity it should probably only need to be half or maybe three-quarters the minimum number of blocks as a chamber which uses 25% of the same reactor. Something like that. [ 12.5% ] [chamber] [ 25% ] [ chamber ] [...

      +1 (thousand) YES PLEASE!

      Save Thrust Profiles

      We have 10 hotbars. Everything should be able to go into the hotbar. Reactor swaps, thrust profiles, and especially fleet commands. So yes, that would be very helpful IMO.

      They both work last I checked, but both definitely require a practice to use effectively.

      Universe Patch Brainstorming: Incentives Against Turtling?

      This is the difficulty. Player pirates and troublemakers are actually the main reason less-aggressive people bond together and form communities. Without them, it's just a chat room full of people who can succeed at the game independently without cooperation or community. But when we empower...

      Universe Patch Brainstorming: Incentives Against Turtling?

      Having the option for servers to implement home sector or even home system protection would be great! Just as long as it's not the default. I don't even think HB protection should be default, just a server option. PvE servers could benefit a lot from home sector protection, but even the existing...

      We need another fleet competition!

      Good thought. Also a station contest is needed. Hopefully a planetary feature contest as well. Guessing they might want another month or two to get the systems really, really solid so that later adjustment doesn't break a whole new round of community assets.

      Whoah. I had no idea, but it makes sense since that is what fill does in a paint program. So I'm off to test that out now, because -wow- that makes re-coloring ships incredibly convenient!

      Save Thrust Profiles

      It would be really nice if it were possible to save and re-load with one click a couple of different thrust profiles. Adjusting thrust when in a hurry can feel like death. It is nice that there are buttons for resetting to default as well as all fore-aft, but having even one or two...

      Let us pick a faction color

      It's fun, but can be very tedious. For extended periods.

      AI QoL Changes

      This is so far from believable to every forum member with half a brain I am just going to move on and acknowledge jayman38 - I stand by my statements, but I do apologize to everyone - including you, Cuck - for massively furthering the derailment of your thread by following up on your...

      Let us pick a faction color

      Good point - even the Eve maps can be a little disorienting sometimes, and they are very sharply put together.

      AI QoL Changes

      You're welcome to your opinion. Mine is that calling out an openly provocative username for what it clearly is is being real, while demanding that everyone pretend member responses shouldn't be colored by deliberate provocation is an old and obvious sham, and completely without merit. I am also...

      Idea for (One Hit) Ceramic Armor

      Herein lies at least one potential abuse - though it may not be "abuse" as long as the C armor isn't too OP. I read this response and immediately imagined a grid of 3x3x3 or 3x5x5 or 3x10x10 ceramic bricks each separated from every other block by a single or double layer of AA, like mortar...

      Less tedious asteotech repairs

      It would have to be more than mesh/composite or it would be unbalanced. Most vital components also require ore and/or shards to be manufactured in the first place - it is part of what underpins the economic value of those advanced blocks. Being able to replace a damage AA or crystal armor block...

      Let us pick a faction color

      Yeah, the sectors are shown, it would be nice if temperatures were shown too (for mineral type probability). Anyway, I was thinking more in terms of on the galactic scale, showing regions with higher concentrations of particular elements so when someone goes looking for a rare material they can...
