Seems to me that chain drives show an obvious flaw in the game's FTL mechanics. If chain drives could be patched out and replaced with a new system that is properly expensive for the benefit, I'd be fine with that. Still waiting to see what the "hyperdrive" mechanic brings to the game...

How does it deal with multiple players? Can different players set the same storage block as personal storage?

Simple question, hopefully, and the wiki doesn't really talk about this. You can set a storage block as "personal cargo." But what does this actually do?

But isn't that unfair (and thus not equal) for people who don't come up with good ideas?

I wish we had the ability to sprint when in a gravity field and on the ground. Walking feels too slow.

I imagine that would cause insane lag since it would turn the game into an N-body gravity simulation.

I want displays to show everything. I'd really like it if it could do a breakdown of cargo, and through C-V linkage displays can show certain combinations of cargo stores and exclude some if needed. That would make warehouses very nifty.

If they did make a console edition, don't make the same mistake Minecraft did. Make it so PC and console can play on the same server and are compatible. Don't divide the community.

This happened to me, and I did right-click on a design to load. I had to restart the server to fix it, though I didn't try leaving the sector (I was the only one online anyway).

My drones are pretty small. I'm not at my game right now, but I think they were about 5x4x10. The carrier can hold 14 of them. I'm mostly trying to figure out all the mechanics before building something actually useful, though I expect this one carrier to be decent for asteroid mining operations.

I tried the rail speed controller and that didn't work, but it was a one-length rail. Then I set it up to point the rail in an invalid direction and use logic to momentarily change in the right direction for launch, and that works great. Now my problem is that the drones don't get a docking...

Well I think I got it working...must have been lag? I logged in a couple days later and my fleet had moved to where I ordered it... Now I'm trying to work on a drone carrier to carry mining drones, but they won't stay docked, even if I manually pilot them to dock them. I have a pickup point...

I like the idea. I think what you're getting at is having groups within factions. Call them companies or regiments or something, but each one could have its own permissions and sectors while still belonging and contributing to a larger faction. I like the faction tax idea, but I think it should...

I had a weird symmetry set up for one build and forgot it was on. Then I started working on another ship, and when I was done part of the ship was mirrored a hundred blocks or so way outside of the main part of the ship. I didn't notice until that part got hung up on something and my ship...

I created my first fleet, just a few small mining drones so I could figure out the system and start working towards a mining fleet. I built four drones, created the fleet, ordered them to move to a sector...and nothing. They continued to idle. Is this a bug, or me not knowing what I'm doing...

Hmm, I didn't know it was down...I must have had a brief Internet outage.

I'm a bit late to this topic and have probably missed some things... I think the fuel mechanic already almost exists...or would exist, if we did some balancing to the reactor/capacitor systems. What if we made reactors extremely low-output, and made capacitors very high-capacity? In a way, your...

I can't decide if I should be terrified or disturbed!

I like the idea, it certainly fills the role of having a standard ship design that can be quickly customized for a different offensive role. But for ease of implementation, even a simple ship-wide Find/Replace Block tool would be very useful and accomplish almost the same thing, and could be...

I think projectile size should be a function of the number of outputs in the group, while power/strength remains a function of the number of modules. So having a ton of modules butted up will actually result in a larger beam or projectile, instead of a single beam from one block.
