That's horrible.

Still, I think I will use the pull beams instead.

They don't work. I tried using them on a small shuttle of mine - the whole entity shares the same amount of power, so the mothership ends up using it's power to supply the same beams that are giving it power. It's a cycle. I'm going to try to use pull beams to latch stuff onto my ship, though...

To all of the people who said it would create a grind: Is this a good or bad thing to you? To me, it is a good thing. Grinding makes a reason to have a division of labor - people who want to mine can mine, others can steal the fuel, etc. It creates a labor deficiency, which creates a supply...

Astronaut suits should not have a high thrust-mast ratio, so astronauts couldn't escape from planets. Cores are going the way of the dinosaur soon, so hopefully they shouldn't even be an issue.

Well, you could make the same argument about nearly any resource gathering mechanic.

Warheads are so weird. I wish they weren't.

I want to apologize for my previous post, it was totally unnecessary and rude. My bad on that - it was not typed at a good time. I am sorry if I caused you any discomfort. Sure, that's fair. I've added an extra option, hopefully that is satisfying to you. I didn't flesh out my idea further...

You can try using pull beams to attach a power supply thing to your vessel.

((On a separate note, why was this moved to suggestions?

This was posted in November of 2014, when manifestos still had some style. It definitely is my take on current game mechanics. You will take note that the thread you linked was posted nearly 5 months after I posted this. I kind of agree with the rest of your post, it is pretty solid reasoning...

...except that shipyards are going to make build blocks useless.

Good point. I am kind of pumped about this idea and the positively it is receiving, but I agree with you. It's just, I am excited.

8 Agrees, people. Let's get a dev tag!

This is a little off topic, but it brings up the idea of crewability. I wrote a thread about it: http://starmadedock.net/threads/a-manifesto-on-crewability.4329/

Fuel was discussed before and people were pretty divided, but no conclusion was reached.

The poll doesn't lie. People seem to like this.

Fuel is like food. In Vanilla, you should be able to survive without it, but it should also be able to boost your ship's performance.

I will have to second Centauri's suggestion about Sol Remembrance - I've been playing on it for a while now and it really is a good place to play.

My original post was a bit harsh, but I have been playing Star Made for nearly two years now. Can't you see how it can be irritating to see the factions scene on these forums dominated by large servers like EE? A lot of the players on larger servers are simply blind to other servers, especially...
