Oh, they say they won't be called space whales. But lets face it. Regardless of what they call them, WE will all call them space whales. Because. SPACE WHALES.

We are apparently getting a "Capital Ship" type of vessel, which perhaps has some of its own rules. Among them are apparently planned the ability to use factories and such while still being ships. But I digress... If we can have a "Capital Ship" type, then why not also have a "Fighter Ship,"...

Internal appearance is a bit different, but only because you are generally looking at a different set of blocks than before (the old one has a bunch of reactor blocks as the primary thing you see around). Doors are still in the same place and can be used to access the vessel still. It may be a...

Ok, I like this one, though instead of "stop working" perhaps merely a major reduction in effectiveness (like dropping to 20% effect). It doesn't need to apply to energy production systems since those kind of behave that way already due to the way ideal reactor designs work.

I'll throw my refit into the bunch. Isanth 6 Updated (note, I have something else targeted in this screenshot, sorry). Aside from modernizations, I also replaced most of the armor with standard hull as this thing is intended to be an enemy for new players (that said, the glass is purple...

Star Wars weapons have a LOT of power behind them supposedly. Though I don't recall a Tie-Fighter ever doing any one-shots. They tend to fire a very rapid burst of separate shots in a row. Its the X-wings that seem to have the one-shotters in most movie sequences. .

Docking permissions could be a one-time-pay thing. i.e. you pay once, and can then dock your ship for as long as it remains docked. Once you undock, you (or whoever wants to use that spot next) would need to pay again in order to dock there.

If need be, I actually went and made this the other day. Isanth 6 Updated I basically just loaded up the Isanth VI, gutted it, then refilled it. And then replaced some blocks with slopes. Overall, it doesn't look too much different. While its not too blocky in appearance, good news! It...

The classic Isanth VI, updated for current game mechanics. It has also been given some slopes, but for the most part it retains the classic look of the oldest ship still in use. (Note: I had something larger targeted when I took this screenshot) Changes include a modernized energy setup...

Conditional agree. Specifically, a 2x2 barrel cannon should have its \"damage value\" reduced to 1/4 of normal, since it applies that damage to 4 blocks (total damage is unchanged vs. a 1x1 barrel cannon). This means it will not penetrate as far too. This will stop ships from just having...

Which is to say something like this: Ship classes like frigate, cruiser, etc. Which all have simple abreviations available, which can be modified for particular purposes. But more importantly (for me) they just have names that we already associate with ships. This was the list the last time...

I consider myself pretty good at making fighters and smaller ships that actually look like a proper ship. I could probably spare some time to come on and try putting together some smaller ships for the catalog sometime. A suggestion with regards to the current \"starting point\" of the RP...

Any more ideas? Comments? Suggestions?

One would basically be Minecraft\'s creative mode with numbers. This would ONLY be for blocks you use to build with. Again, look at how Minecraft\'s creative mode splits things up in the image I posted. All the hull blocks, wedges, and corners could be in one tab. Assuming you copy MC\'s...

This is actually part of why I put in some comments on making turning mechanics a bit more like classic space fighter games. That is, you turn, and your momentum turns with you. While not necessary to give things a more sci-fi feel, it does help to allow \"proper\" dogfights (that is, ones...

Specifically, the creativity of ships that are highly exagerated in one dimension (typically front to back, i.e. long ships).

With the new \"buy with blocks\" option being tested out, the issue of complex ships is now real. This means that we do have to start considering the fact that it may render some ships \"unbuyable\" with current limits to the number of different blocks you can hold.

Indeed, leaving the subject line blank causes your post to copy part of the first sentences and use that is it. Should be an example of this above my first sentence. To clarify what a \"box hangar\" is, you basically take your indestructible home base and build a box big enough to literally...

The idea with landing gear is that it would basically allow \"anywhere docking\" with an object that has gravity (a planet, basically. Or a large station if they change the way gravity generators work). After all, the basic issue is that the physics engine doesn\'t like it when ships sit...

For reference. As you can see, blocks of different catagories are put in different tabs. This setup would work well with starmade, not the least because equipment and tools would be deligated to the diablo-type inventory anyway (thus it would not need any tabs in Starmade). There could be...
