I see your point really, though i agree with what was posted by someone above us, have a warhead launcher block that launches warheads when activated(all it does) and you have to load it with warheads which can still be used on logic torpedoes mines, suicide ships, etc for bigger payloads >:D...

Actually my complaints could be solved by just removing the thruster nerf that was given(i was told it was 25%). Theres a curve in place now and just like the power curve, that should have been enough, make the curve start slightly lower, but allow thrusters to produce the same amount of thrust...

that seems like a decent idea too. way easier than reinventing the wheel xD

Actually i did, and thats where this idea came up from. I saw all those designs and they are quite ingenious though under current warhead conditions, completely broken, props to everybody for making them, this idea also came to be after me asking if warheads where any good and getting laughed at...

So i had a thought the other day, while staring at everything these various threads dealing with warheads. Why not change warheads to function like all the other weapons? Computer, module, and has its own unique function and mechanics. Change the warhead into a warhead module, and a warhead...

Gonna post this link here, http://starmadedock.net/threads/asteroid-wrangling-a-new-way-to-mine.22455/ Im against it at the moment, but i am open to discussions on it, and if a balanced idea is presented that keeps both systems in place ill gladly support the idea in the link ^^

Sure they could, but one would(more than likely) always be better than the other. If you make milling an asteroid give more resources, then mining lasers become less than desirable, and overall probably worth far less to the point of being useless.( from a single player standpoint only since you...

I didnt even think of docking them in a ship, but then i guess it would be like battery units wouldnt it? My thrusters are always placed in a engine housing, so for me having engines that look and function like engines, just makes sense and its what i do, and docking them inside, doesnt even...

Im for this, but, not as a replacement for the current mining, as another way to do it, sure. my mining vessel right now *eats* a full asteroid in one firing of my mining beams, and this suggestion would make it take /forever/ to do the same thing, and it would get for me, very tedious, very...

Another reason im kinda for this, the new thruster mechanics limits building certain types of ships, on a game very limited already when it comes to getting an optimal design. Docked Engines should be a way to get more thrust, without having to turn the mothership into little more than a massive...

Why not change them then into something else?

Wow thats kinda annoying, why couldnt they just be visible all the time? a storage crate doesnt go invisible when its not in use! Though im wondering why mine are visible out of build mode even empty >.>

When in build mode they look like that, but as soon ya exit they should...or at least they do for me, go solid. i must say its annoying when trying to make a square of them. finding that one empty space can be mind wracking!

Random though i had.... Why dont thruster units use the docked entities power? At the moment "inheriting thruster" power from a docked entity automatically adds the power drain to the mothership, why not make it like turrets? if the docked entity has power of its own, then it uses that, if not...

Secret option e: all of the above, except for C, only reason i use a downloaded ship is for pirates! :D

That happened about 2 weeks ago? the day i got whitelisted was the day they cleared blueprints from the server, there was a big post up for it too!

Yup, glad i was thinking along the same lines. I wonder if they have a way to see which blocks are used the most for decorations, and those blocks get full sets of shapes?

They did say they could expand the number of block ids if they needed to, im sure theyd rather not of course however.

Why stop with just those, like the person above id like all the different decorative blocks to have access to everything if it makes sense! :D

Well, my carrier is sitting at 480, 36, 151 right now, so im pretty sure i can have quite a few 200-500 mass fighters in it. Thank you all for the information! Ill keep it in mind when i get around to designing them :D
