Wow, someone who didn't even suggest my suggestion is less lazy than I am, so much less lazy that they actually bother to find it for me. Thanks, you've made me feel like a lazy dependent. ;)

I've actually suggested it before. I'd give a shameless plug, but.....I'm too lazy. My suggestion was titled "squadrons in fleets" or something like that. The basic concept is "Sub-fleets with prioritized orders". So, the orders for a squadron are superseded by the orders for the fleet. So if...

Actually, USS Michigan and USS South Carolina came before (I believe) HMS Dreadnought herself. Dreadnought was built in record time, with some improved machinery, and all-big-gun-armament (Which was, I think, actually pioneered by the US. But I could be mistaken). In reality, however...

Well, I like a lot of your ideas, Dr. Whammy, but planetary rings should not be intangible, and should block missiles (Contact detonation) and beams (Dust scatters focused energy), but not cannons, which would punch through. Rings should give minimal amounts of resources when mined and...

This is a very neat set of ideas. Personally, I want to see planets swell in size, and gain much more level terrain in a lot of places. Complete ground-space interaction is always necessary, but we need larger planets and terrain suited to the size of materials we have (Cubic-meter blocks). Or...

And, if combined with the chat channels suggestion, this could allow you to send a fleet into deep space, give it (And a dozen others) attack commands or something, and then disable their thrusters. Later, with the press of just one button, set them all loose. Semi-automated fleets, anyone? Set...

Maybe if the devs see such awesome weapons, they'll be unable to resist giving us the ability to create custom skins/appearances for weapons, if not simply custom weapons!

Probably not, as you would need to build most of the yard in the down direction, or have all of you ship be under the core (Or it's likely going to collide with the yard itself, barring trickery.....hmmm, this needs testing!)

Why would this NOT be the default anyway? Seriously....

I'd like to see a popup along the lines of "Missing following materials: (Spoiler-esque hidden list here), Finish build anyway?". Especially once designs are attached to cores (As I hope will happen), allowing you to later add the missing blocks. Especially useful if you're building a ship and...

You could just use white..... I'd scale the pieces down---make them more simplistic. No need to replicate them exactly.

That is so much not how rail mass enhancers work. They increase the mass that it takes to slow down the rail system. If you have a total of 50 free mass and 500 mass worth of rail enhancers, then you will be able to dock anything that weighs less than 550 mass and have it move at full speed...

Well, that (About shields against weapons) a big weapon has a chance to annihilate shields entirely, engaging that wonderful (Not really) 10 second shield cooldown before they have any protection remaining.

I do hate to be a pain (Not really) but this is a ridiculous thread. Building by hand (With no limits) will likely always be an option. Shipyards need a lot of fixes before blueprints are removed (And I mean the meta item. The blueprint format will of course stay. Only difference will be how you...

If it's not got 6 PDTs per 10k mass, you're doing it wrong! (Seriously though, my 50k or so mass cruiser has over 30 PDTs....maybe even as high as 50+. I don't really remember)

That's the thing----they can, and do. They just slide into range, fire, and get out before return fire reaches them. Only disadvantage is if you have to rely on missiles to hold the range. LRM fire is vulnerable to PDTs.

Turret do not need to be shrunken. However, cross-entity secondary-and-tertiary linking would be very nice. That way, you retain the volume of a turret, but can "hide" more of it in your hull in a more efficient manner (battleship-esque turret citadel/barbette, rotates with the turret)

Dwarf Fortress (Adventure mode, of course) StarMade, anyone?

So, when will AI fleets be able to uncover map details for us? Or will they? Can we expect this functionality when unloaded combat n' company get in?

Correction: Court-martialed, tried, shot, and sent to the Russian Front! In that order!
