Fair enough... always liked the idea of a more mass effect style of doing it. However, you are off on what I want. I don't want you to have to wait several minutes, there would be a short period before you reach the destination, but it would not be more than a minute at most. The larger ships...

It prevents a big behemoth from just appearing in the middle of your space with no warning. Small ships can be used for scouting, like they are in real life. You could also have elite squadrons of fighter-bombers. Also, they wouldn't just be traveling super fast, it would be more like they enter...

So, what is the problem with extreme mass ships? They are as nimble and as fast as a fighter... The new thruster update will fix this hopefully, so I am not about to talk about that. What I will talk about is FTL, and how to balance it for these big ships. The bigger the FTL core(made out of...

Right now the economy is bust. Cube ships are a symptom of this.

Cube ships are more expensive than ships with interiors right? Hey, balance!

Considering how big those are? Some of them look really good as well, just look at this: http://www.hatfilms.co.uk/blog/145/entry-999-good-bye-social-life/ and look at all of those other borg cubes, those things can look awesome, and probably took a lot of work to make.

I've been thinking on it... I think I have solution, but it isn't ready yet. It has something to do with FTL, but it doesn't harm the player at all, just restrict their options when they do certain things. You can do everything, don't get me wrong. Every build will be viable, some will be better...

Not what I was talking about.

You mean like weapons? Engines? Ftl?

Let me say this in a way you might understand, as you haven't seem to understand it when other people have said it: Peple redy da tha Do you understand retard speak? Do you understand what several people have said in this thread now?

This suggestion, while far better, has the problem of exploitability... and I would much rather have a slightly wonky balance, than a broken one.

Doesn't that just nerf ships that use this idea? Also, it is fairly easy to just have long thin hallways separating them.

How would they lose the crew? Oh ya, by having the ship SHOT TO PIECES!

Yes to the tiered weapons, no on the more power gen... if you want a better weapon for less blocks, be prepared for it draining your energy reserves. This would also give super bombers some use(a very powerful missile system, not much else, this would allow them to have a bit more shields so...

Actually... that isn't how the new health system will work at all... the blacks themselves will be the HP. The more blocks destroyed, the less HP you have... this completely negates this suggestion... Also, I chose the last poll option... why? Because you didn't pay attention to any of the QA...

I like this! Simple, elegant... and sorely needed...

Hold on, hold on... why not have a small 2x1 hallway connecting the rooms to the core, have some very small rooms for the crew, and get everything! See how easy it is to break this? Suddenly you have the normal stats of a death cube now, with all of the buffs of this system! There, completely...

Yes you can! If you are running away from a battle are you really going to be focused on shooting them anyway??? If you ship takes a certain amount, I didn't say any amount, I said a certain amount, the bigger the array, the higher the amount. Hey look, tactics! Do you was your FTL big so you...

Yes, a charge time where you can't use weapons, if you take a certain amount of damage the jump cancels. The damage ratio would become smaller as ships get bigger. If the FTL blocks get damage it instantly quits. See, balance.

quickly overheat your ship... do we really need to spell out why this is bad?
