People keep saying this, yet I keep building same way I always did and my ships still work just fine...

Oh yeah, no. It can remove block types, but its all or nothing.

Yeah, honestly I think we're good with what we've got, especially after the announcement of them introducing damage types that can be altered.

I do this as well. Thrusters are an integral part of my fluorescent light fixtures. :D

Its an alpha. The focus at the moment should be to help the community and the devs get as much feedback on how the system is working as possible. Its not a finished game, and details are going to change, so honestly its not even like the current builds will remain relevant in the long run. I...

Yeah, which actually has real world examples. US aircraft carriers are capable of producing PRODIGIOUS amounts of electrical power. Many times after a disaster in a coastal area, a carrier is sent in to act as a floating generator to provide emergency power. But yes, whichever reactor in the...

Its come up before, but figured I'd bring it back up again since we're in the middle of all kinds of system updates at the moment, which would hopefully make it easier to just tag this while they're in there. Thruster plumes are currently 3 blocks long, always. A 3 block pod and a titan have...

We are currently in a transition period. Weapons and armor both are getting redone in the next overhaul that they are working on now. That said, yes, small stations and outposts are and should be more vulnerable than massive city state command posts. This has always been the case.

It shouldn't have increased anything. It sounds like you've encountered a bug. Export a copy of the blueprint and send it in to the bug report phab site so that the devs can review it and see what and where the bug is so that they can fix it.

Well, I did kind of account for that by saying only the largest reactor in the chain would be active (which I thought would imply if all reactors were the same size it would still only activate one of them at a time). The idea being that if you wanted to dock a reactor, you could. Or if you...

Well clearly, this is looking a bit further ahead than just the next update. Long term goals and all that. :)

Thats what I do as well, but I rather miss chatting with people when doing that.

Random thought, but... Was thinking about some kind of shipyard design feature for stations, which lead to "Well, we couldn't really do an actual shipyard to build stations with, because they're stuck wherever they spawn, so how would you automate building a station from a blueprint?" and it...

Yeah, we need multiple fixes for stations, really. I'd give a kidney to have a shipyard for station building. We can design ships in shipyards all day long for "free", but we still need all of the blocks for a station up front.

Agreed, faction tags would be great! Don't know how many times I've had someone in chat ask for help and then give everything BUT proper coordinates for their sector. Least if they were at the home base asking for help, I could see their faction tab and look it up in the faction list to find...

Not sure why we needed a PM to basically say "You can exploit cargo rules", but okay. :) So, we have a system in place that is supposed to stop unauthorized people from using it, but isn't perfect right now. It can be fixed, it needs to be fixed, and obviously at some point it will be fixed...

Well, we already have mechanics in place to control who can and cannot transfer cargo. Seems like that should be re-usable in a "who is and is not allowed to dock to the command node" system.

You can, yes. You can give it arguments to remove/replace any block IDs you want. So you could just tell it to remove all power/chambers/shields/etc and it would proceed to gut it down to the hull (careful if the build uses system blocks as decorative, because it will yank those out too)...

Yup, I learned a long time ago, if I make something I REALLY like, I save a separate copy of the shell. Things change, and they're going to keep changing all the way up until we go to Beta, so its generally easier to redo systems from scratch than it is to re-juggle innards via retro-fitting.

Lol, oh yeah. I'm still stoked at the return of the Mine Layers! But easier to think of that as... I dunno, Weapons 0.5a or something just so we can keep a nice even terminology field. If we're calling it Power 2.0, and we're redoing weapons/armor, and then the universe, I figured its just...
