Said block would push the ship they are on away from other objects that are close to them (like a planet surface). Stick some on the bottom and you have a hovercar. Much less messy then dealing with wheels, particularly for the concept of going up shallow hills (\"stair\" hills don\'t work...

The exponential multiplier for the diminishing returns mechanic was what, 0.66 or something? Increase that number a bit, so the diminishing returns kick in a bit more slowly. The regeneration delay after damage is good though. If it bugs you, you need to design better ships, put a couple...

Honestly, it would be much easier to just design your own ship. Make its base shape out of components with dimensions 2 less then your limits (maybe 4 for front-to-back), so you can put armor on the outside. Make the components in a shape that looks cool enough, then you can cloth it in a...

It is safe to assume that as we near beta, or by the time we are partway through beta, we will start getting new weapons and such. I just figured I\'d put all my personal thoughts with regards to the more commonly requested new things in a single topic. It would be nice to see some of these...

Blueprint format needs to be redone. In particular, the price tag should be removed entirely, so a server calculates it on its own when it recieves the blueprint file. The way the file deals with docked ships and turrets could also use an improvement.

Because the shields are actually small flat ships docked the front of a larger one. Because they are small, they have a relatively small timer on how long it takes for their shields to recharge, and additionally due to the size are hard to hit consistantly. Because each individual ship has a...

I've determined the way to overcome the new shield issues, is to add shields! ...what are you looking at me like that for? What kind of shields did you THINK I was talking about? Being small, they have a rapid regen available. Further, they make it harder to hit the main ship, making it...

The delay in regeneration after being hit is good.

Armor It needs a buff to make it worthwhile for anything more then stopping a single shot from anything larger then a 50k fighter ship (or for just making a ship look good). Weapons (missiles). These could use a bit of an overhaul. To start with, they tend to be both too powerful...

You have one type for forwards/backwards, one for sideways and upwards (which you can keep low for ships that don\'t land on planets), one which increases max speed, and one that helps you turn faster. That last one I believe is already planned. Alternatively, you just have three, with...

Server owners who sympathize with you can simply set the special-order multiplier to 1, allowing you to get the parts at the same cost as usual. Armor in general needs work anyway, and who knows, it may get messed with soon now that they dealt with shields (though I think they should raise the...

Should be helpful next time I have to mess around with that.

No one knows?

That is, is it possible to make it such that you cannot upload a ship you made elsewhere, but to allow you to save to the server a ship you built on said server? To be entirely honest, such an option would actually be best if you want epic faction wars. Since no one would be able to call in...

Any time I open up the catalog on a crowded server, there are dozens of random things (if not over a hundred), including WIP designs and other stuff, simply because people either don't bother or aren't aware that their blueprints are available to everyone by default.

First off is the issue that it encourages people to spread out way too far to the point where they may as well be playing alone. The other issue though, and perhaps the more important one, is that the game simply isn\'t made for high speeds currently. And objects moving faster then a...

Works sometimes. Until it stops working. At which point I cannot log in, at all. Often times for hours or more. Until the server either cycles through or resets or does whatever it is that apparently fixes it. .

Speaking of bumps, I wonder if it would be possible to add an \"anchor\" function to allow players to stay stationary. Edit: Oh, just thought of another good one. For the \"Allow blueprint importing\" selection, you could also set a maximum ship value. Thereby allowing players to import...

After say, a crash or otherwise having to go offline for a few minutes. I don\'t know of any way to fix it, but I have had the issue a bit recently as well. Perhaps it is related to the recent \"fix\" for people getting high ping momentarily when someone with a higher ping then them logs in...

Basically, I had made a wing of tiny fighters as a single ship. Some of the cannons on the fighters, despite being properly hooked up, did not fire. While they weren\'t physically connected to the \"lead fighter,\" other fighters that weren\'t did fire properly. Being fighters, they had tiny...
