I have only one objection to the Docking change, and it\'s a serious one. Most ships are\'t cubes. In order to get a 12M long shuttle to dock, I need an internal docking bay 14M high, even though my shuttles are only 4 M tall. I\'ve heard the same complaint from others, but I\'ll suggest...

Congradulations on a heck of a program. I was experimenting with importing and modifying very large files, and I discovered a reproducable problem. I\'m attempting to export a full scale (643M) model of the Enterprise-D. Yes, I\'m totally abusing your software. I can load the binvox in...

By making them functional I was referring mostly to the conduit... something like designating conduit as a wildcard tradition connector that would let you join groups of power tanks, thrusters, etc. How would it change your engine designs if you could use conduit to slip a line of power...

These could be decorative blocks, although I'd enjoy the mock-engineering of making them functional somehow. Conduit - A Conduit block is partially unsolid and transparent. The central 4x4 voxels along one axis are solid and opaque. Conduit should come in various colors, including glowing ice...

And Economics! I almost forgot my favorite.

Some topics keep surfacing, getting hashed through in new forms by new people, and then getting carried out with the tide of other threads. I suggest that tthe topic of "suggestions" is too broad. Let's take the subjects that won't die and give them their own forum-space. Geology: Planetary...

how do you set the ship-block?

I\'ve been building mine like physical ships, lay the keel, lay the ribs, fill the gaps. I\'m not sure I\'d hollow out my ships exactly, but something like this would make it a LOT easier to get the proportions right on the initial spars.

all those diamonds obscure the true location of your ships core and act as ECM for incoming missiles.

Part of the point was that this would be quick and easy. A 15 minute change, not a major code revision. My only suggestion so Schema stands in its original form. Destroyed hull is replaced by lava instead of emptiness. The rest is cool, but not quick and easy.

I still dig a suggestion I saw here a while back that the game include a \"structural\" block linked to the core in a single tradition. you can only add blocks within 10 blocks or so of a structural block. When you sever the tradition of structural blocks, the blocks attached to the severed...

to make \"work lights\", but it\'s a PITA. Agreed.

Yes. that\'s the thing about repairs by removing and replacing blocks. you need to be in build mode to do it properly because of the lack of directional control. If you have a crew running around making repairs to your ship it becomes problematic. What if the personal.... (glares at...

Heat transfer doen\'t seem to be a thing at all. Ice never melts. Lava never cools. Each seems to be its own \"element\". You may notice that lots of asteroids have molten cores that stay that way even after they have been exposed to space.. I was just tuning my suggestion to be the...

Dear Schema, this would add some serious coolness to combat and SHOULD be dead simple to implement if I properly grok your code just from playing. When a hull or hardened hull block is sufficiently damaged, it is destroyed. The block is set to "empty". I suggest that instead of "empty", the...

If you post the .sment file of a full sized earth-type planet/ship I will totally build a giant sea turtle and elephants under it! All hail the great A\'Tuin! http://fantasy.mrugala.net/Paul%20Kidby/Paul%20Kidby%20-%20Disque%20Monde%20-%20The%20Great%20A%20Tuin%20(2).jpg

I\'m impressed as hell. Heck, I\'m impressed anyway! beautiful!

I just shot the heck out of a bunch of my turrets on testing. It seems to matter what your point of view is. Try changing to another cockpit

You are my personal hero and inspiration of the day.

...as soon as it finishe spawning in? :) I like how you are incorporating shields and power into the core structure, not as an afterthought.
