On the one hand I really like the idea of this heat-based system rather than a purely power-based system. However, on the other-hand I find it somewhat disagreeable that there would be absolutely no power requirement, and that it all be based on heat. I think that my initial distaste at the...

The way I understood it was that if other systems are within the heat boundary you get something akin to "Overheating." where you get extra heat added to your reactor. It isn't that your systems aren't adding heat, it's that by putting them inside the boundary their adding extra heat. For...

I personally don't think build mode should be done in, I think it should still be usable to repair things the way it's used now, however it should turn off in combat as was suggested.

I kinda like Anti-personnel turrets, but I do agree, that there needs to be a better way to deal with them. Perhaps disable any form of shields on anti personnel turrets so that player-held rocket launchers stand a chance against them?

I like it, however #5 conflicts with the fact that buttons and the like really shouldn't be usable by everyone, it's too easy to cause problems and grief if that's the case.

In my opinion, the suggestion seems to be partially a suggestion about how to improve player economy, and partially another plea for shipyards, which is all honesty doesn't bother me.

It worked just fine when I tried it just now :P

You have a point there... Perhaps 'C' could be defaulted as the carrier entity, and 'V' as the railed one.

I didn't really mean Auto-linking it within the same ship, what I meant was a way to link the blocks between two docked entities without having to manually leave one and then link them by hand. When two modules pass each other on two different ships they'd be linked.

Pffft, you again

Rail Dry-docks My first suggestion, one that I believe is built off an earlier suggestion from December (Can't remember where), is to be able to use rails to build ships. The core of it would be thus: 1) Being able to display some sort of a ship 'frame' or outline 2) A weapon or tool system...

I know that's how it would work, i'm just not sure how hard it would be for the coders.

The second idea I wrote about is similar to what you're suggesting for the armor, however instead of having the entirety of a ships health/armor be determined by the ships armor alone (I'm not quite sure if that's what you're saying or not), the armor system would have it's own health, which...

There is a large problem with ships hulls in that they can easily be one-shot in battles between large ships. Hulls should receive an adjacency bonus to armor, that is possibly affected by ship mass. The armor % for each block would go up based upon some percentage increase for each block. The...

Meh ;)

Lol, lecic, you took a kind of silly idea, and made it 1,000 times better xD

I'm very frustrated because as far as I know there is no other discussion on this elsewhere, this is a very good idea, and no one of significant importance has said anything about this negative or otherwise. :mad: Since this post I think there has been some atmosphere added, but it is still...

Scheme has a point that this is very much a repeat post, but your system is a very good idea xD If you haven't already, I think you should stick it in a suggestion post.

Quartiles? Twr? xD This does sound infinitely better. Maybe the server could then take the stats or something, divide them by a configurable number of classes, and give the player a suggested class to name it as if he so chooses. It would certainly be great for role-playing xD

I'll start this out by saying that: 1) I am well aware that there are already tons of threads about ship classification, and that 2) classification is largely arbitrary and based on what the creator of the ship decides it is. My purpose in this thread is to attempt to address the idea that ships...
