Burst modules Burst modules would make the weapon fire a concentrated burst that does more damage than the weapon normally firing. Each shot would do less damage than the weapon's single shot, but all the shots together do more damage. The tradeoff will be an increased reload time. This...

Being a big fan of Macross I would love to be able to focus shields in specific spots. It's done in so many sci-fis and it's usually really cool to see. I currently simulate this with force field blocks but I'd love to see actual gameplay mechanics

Climbing, going against walls for cover, and other environment based movement would be really cool. It should work pretty well within the grid system.

I think linking factories and having them auto craft blocks would be awesome. It would help vastly in making shipyards the new standard as far as building ships. I think it would also be a fair restriction that the factories can only work on one block type per tick. You still need to setup...

I think being able to compress and decompress block would be a great mechanic to add. It addresses 2 problems. It helps us be able to store large amounts of things and also make blocks easier to transport. It also helps when you over manufacture too much of something you can convert it back...

I'd imagine the block to be an extension of the trash option in your inventory. I don't think power should be required, but I would like to see a way to recycle blocks in some way. Something like that would be truly worth the power.

I do like this idea but I feel it would make ship building too complex for some players.

Yea needs to be way to take out the trash! Maybe we could also get some precision mining beams that just take out ore too. Tackle the problem at both ends.

I agree that doubling power is not the way to go. It makes combat very boring since you can just stick a ridiculous amount of guns on your ship and have full capabilities like stealth, fast scanners. It makes specialization a joke since you can just make a monstrous ship with everything on it...

Very cool. I like the idea of specialized factory facilities. Does the station only produce hull or are there areas for building other things?

Its not possible right now, but thrust mechanics will be getting a revision. The devs haven't spoken about it much so that leads me to believe it's still very much in planning. I have my own ideas that ill most likely post soon in the suggestion forum soon so we can discuss this more.

Do guys consider mech shaped ships or only ships with articulated parts? As far as mech shaped ships ill have a bunch coming along with a front mission style hangar to store them all.

I like the idea of mechs in the game but yea way too limited right now. Micro-ships are generally hard to make viable for anything besides being a shuttle. Hopefully we'll get buffed blocks for smaller ships.

this might not come right away but this would be huge.

It would be very cool to control multiple logic systems with a single button. I hope at least your first suggestion is noted.

I mean you can just do what I do and use lots of black and no lights. I have a ship that's really fast and hard to see. Camouflage is very easy in this game considering you can put any block on your ship. I think this would make a cool mod though.

Sorry I forgot to mention that the health of the blocks would be equivalent to the mass as well. You're right that would obviously break the game. I figured this would simplify the crafting system for hull and also making block choice a little more interesting.

Here's another idea. What if we went with the idea that the blocks have as much mass and volume as the given shape. When you are crafting, you will have to start with cubes and then craft the other block from the cubes (the way it is now). When you craft the other shapes however, you get the...

I think storage should remain the way it is. I think what should happen is there should be 2 separate blocks. One for the new cargo system and storage block should remain as they are. What you are saying makes sense but I don't think they should rename the block as it would confuse people.

I would say that the height of the terrain seems slightly less random and the contours seem more defined. The older generation looked more random and didn't fit together as well. The newer planets have far more distinguishable features and on larger settings look really good. They biggest...
