First thing to do:

I'm liking the way this is looking. Don't be afraid if you're project can't go as fast as you want it.

Once you turn the ship 90° about the long axis

Not only that, but outside a ship you can select it and hit 'L' I believe to open up the AI menu on it.

Okay yeah. Erm orientation isn't stored in the slots but yeah having the orientation set to the block would be good. View as enemy? Yes this would be a good feature. Ummm... While this might be really useful it would start to get impractical in non-creative mode with limited slots. I like...

It is very awkaward. There is a thread in the suggestions forum here about it.

I don't think that a drone "weapon" is needed. See here for what we've already been doing. Though could there possibly be secondary-only type weapons? Such as the richoet we have here, maybe some sort of phasing shot? (projectile spawns ahead of the ship)

Actually, this, when combined with sitting, would work fine, as when you enter a block while sitting, when you exit you are still sitting.

Like damage pulse and pulsator?

I'm going to disagree with that. Warp is associated with most people with star trek, where not only is travel non-instantaneous, it occurs in realspace. Jump implies the travel is instantaneous, and is not associated with one franchise.

or rename warp gates to jump gates (in fact that's what I thought they were called) besides "jump" implies instant transistion, while "warp" doesn't.

I'm pretty sure you could keep the calculations going for what needs to be done to keep the storages and inventories working. No need to have the ships themselves loaded in RAM. Though if you don't just want people leaving the server with a bunch of factories running maybe have it a faction...

There is a recycler block. There isn't any code for it. BTW, I tried making a mod for it and went with 20% recovery of crystals, ores, mesh, and circuits, and 500:1 conversion of terrain into dirt.

1,7,8 are the only ones that don't get brought up here once a week. I agree with those. Especially 8. Dave just seems to be really stiff.

Yeah I suppose. Oh! I came up with a pretty good general way to do this: Let the marker beam connect logic blocks between different entities. If one entity is unloaded no logic updates will come to or from it. Once loaded again it will update the connected blocks, even if the other entity is...

One of the things I was thinking of for balancing missiles is having the evasiveness of missiles be inversely propotional to the damage. So a large missile will travel in a very straight line, while small missiles get a larger chance to randomly move. Combined with an increase in AMS AI...

Pretty much all said in the title. Whatever method allows logic across docked entities (when that becomes a thing) also gets adapted to allow logic between stations linked with warpgates. For doing things like controlling an iris on both sides, warning lights for announcing an incoming traveler...

I was thinking more of: Build the functional parts of your gun. This determines all the stats, including the turn rate, recoil, output locations, etc. Build a shell for the gun. This is just cosmetic, but must have at least the same number of blocks as the functional model.

What about having the number of blocks in the gun "model" determine the number of blocks that can be put on the frame? And then the statistics determining recoil, run speed, etc.
