Here's my dilemma; I'm working on a space restaurant style station, and I'm making some good progress as far as building the dining area, kitchens, washrooms, etc. As I'm building, a few things start to dawn on me; things that I have no idea how to implement or deal with. Here's a short list...

Hey, R2D2 was able to fix parts of ships while getting shot at by Turboblasters, and he was just a droid A well balanced support ship can mean the difference between getting back to base relatively in one piece or having to hitch hiking back. I do think there needs to be a little tweaking, ie...

We need some sort of hyperdrive jammer then. I remember reading somewhere that interdiction was planned when they implemented FTL, but so far we've heard zip about how it's gonna work.

I've "accidentally" rammed into a larger ship (2 k mass) with my Goblin fighter (less than 250 mass) at top speed of 89.5 m/s and sent it flying. Didn't even stop my ship completely, but dropped it to a little less than half speed. That impact should've caused me to stop dead, and the larger...

Been working on a "Restaurant at the End of the Universe" style station, no blocks put down yet but I'm fleshing out ideas on paper. This would be a perfect place to find those NPCs. Just pull in to your local Xzvitch's Diner or Shrodinger's Donuts franchise a see who's got some work for you.

I haven't personally left my local galaxy yet, but I have traveled through some of the empty sectors in between the galaxy's spiral arms. At least, I thought they were empty... True, there were no stars, planets, or black holes and such, but those areas were full of stations oddly enough.

Got distracted, freighter got a little work done but I did release 2 fighters and an empty hull for one of them.

I say scanners should detect the thermal/electromagnetic emissions of a ship in order to identify it as a ship. Detecting the mass isn't hard, many of the blocks on your ship are made of the same materials that are found in asteroids, but asteroids don't put out the radio signals, radiation...

Had a similar idea for a plasma effect, which basically sets the blocks it hits on fire. Doesn't affect shields at all though, but once it hits a block it keeps burning (with diminishing returns) until it burns itself out. Missiles would hit multiple blocks, but the burn time would be...

Armament: 2 Daisycutter Auto-Cannons - 200 dps each 2 Reaper AA Missiles - 4500 damage each Overdrive w/ top speed of 89.5 m/s Free Faction Block included! Grooman Aerospace is proud to present the latest iteration of it's entry level fighter series; the G3 Goblin. Starting off as an ambitious...

That kind of mission is more of a mining style mission, but the delivery mission you described is pretty much bang on if you're looking to haul cargo for a living. It could get tricky since you have to account for how much space your ship has for cargo, too small and the container won't fit in...

I like this idea too. I've had heat seekers travel from my testing area all the way to my dry dock, slamming into docked ships. If those docked ships are running cold or shut down, then the seekers will focus on what I want them to target, mainly my dummy target ship. Luckily, repairs aren't an...

The detection range idea is good, let's you find a good hiding spot/jam/cloak before bigger ships wind up right on top of you. Love the overdrive idea the most, I build and fly a lot of fighters, and my biggest pet peeve is the best tactic you can use is circle strafing. Not really how a...

Well, one way we could do fetch missions at first is to have the player drop off the requested items at the point where they took the job. If a shop is short a particular block, then a job could pop up requesting that block and pay out a slightly higher reward for those blocks than you'd get...

Proof that drinking and docking don't mix. In my defense; I was sure my fighter would fit in the Sovereign's shuttle bay. I was wrong.

Sweet! Recognized. Glad I could help, love to contribute more to this idea if you guys are interested.

"Sir, the boarding party has nearly breached the hull." (Ship warps away) "Soo... yeah, there they go. Should we follow or wait for them to take the ship and warp back here?" (Captain face palms) I had asked about interdiction a while back, and now we have a situation that it could prevent. I...

I agree that resources are too abundant in this game as of now. You can find any group of asteroids and there's at least 4 or 5 different types of minerals and crystals there. There needs to be a rarity to some minerals while others could be common as dirt. Also, manufacturing specializations...

Thanks. Wasn't too optimistic about it being considered at first, but it looks like they're already laying in the groundwork for it to be a possibility at least.
