It may be a bit different then the type of permissions we were talking about here, but its still gonna be useful.

I know normal docks can be though. I seem to recall once hitting one of my turrets too with a gun that was a bit further back, but that may have been an issue at that time and may no longer be the case. Either way, if you can shoot your own turrets (regardless of whether they can shoot each...

Also, change the background image of the galaxy so its NOT AT A BLOODY ANGLE! Its bloody annoying that that disk is at some odd angle when its the only visual reference for ship orientation when not looking at a station/planet. Additionally, have an option somewhere that people can turn...

That is, suggestions to how health is dealt with, such that ships take damage based on destroyed blocks, NOT based on shots hitting their core (which would no longer be highlighted). If something like that is done, then swarm ships would be viable with otherwise current mechanics. Just make...

For instance, the default setting for sharing permissions should be NONE. If I look in the public catalog, I only want to see the ships people WANT to share (as indicated by the fact that they would have to manually select the option to share with others, rather then it being on by default and...

Even if something is planned that they want to be more then mere signs, it would be nice to get some normal signs in the meantime. Or perhaps in addition to the eventual better-then-signs they have planned, for people who just want a low tech physical thing with words on it.

Outside of shooting a stationary object, there is little reason to need aiming accuracy to the point where you can easily rest on a single block as your target. This will become even more the case if weapons ever lose their 100% barrel accuracy. Having the aim point stationary relative to the...

And solar power generators would only be viable if they were substantially stronger then standard ones in some way (perhaps if they had a much larger base generation, but did NOT scale with dimensions, making them suitable for small in-system ships but less so for large ones where dimension...

Instead, we get a new weapon which I still need to try out. That new effects system he apparently coded to have the pulse use sounds good. He also messed with missiles a bit more, and supposedly the dumbfires are now twice as strong as the homing missiles.

If a ship is moving forwards, a missile locked on to the exact center of the ship end up following behind and hitting the rear anyway. All that adding this more realistic heat seaking system adds is a good deal more complexity to the code. In missiles that currently have trouble even properly...

The longer they keep it gamebreakingly easy to amass parts and money, the longer they are able to sort out the limits of the game code on modern computers. And the longer they can maintain maximum stress testing of the game by people with oversized ships for imroving efficiency and squashing...

If the server set max speed to remain at 50 as well. It won\'t catch someone running in a straight line, but it would catch someone in a dog fight as they have to alter their direction as they dodge to avoid getting shot (and such their \"effective\" speed is less then 50). Still, one of...

But perhaps it could also work if you go with the sum of the vessel\'s dimensions as well as a means for classification (just putting a minimum mass in somewhere so a 100x100x100 1-block-thick cross doesn\'t get determined to be a large ship class). It would be a little less reflective of the...

Basically, you would add a new block type to the game. The warp core block, or the jump drive block. Depends what you want to call it. Could even be something else. You may need to add a second \"control\" block for it, depending on what works best with the game code. Either way, the...

The formal name can of course remain in the item description. Rather then just make it \"dumbfire\" or something like that, I say we ought to give some of the weapons names. Like making the dumbire \"Mercury rockets\" or some other name like that (or torpedo, depends on how missiles are...

That is, have the shields actual \"hit cross section\" ALSO be a bubble. If a good way can be found for calculating this bubble so that it doesn\'t go inside the ship and doesn\'t eat up processor time or resources, this would potentially encourage some forms of ship design a bit more (and...

Just seems like its taking a bit longer then many servers to roll out the latest patch. Also, free bump for you. Edit: New patch out, and you never even got around to getting to the previous patch it seems.

Maybe that month ran out or something?

Since no one else is saying anything, I\'m assuming something\'s up with my end. Yesterday, it gave messages that the server was using the old version though. Now, it just hangs doing nothing at \"connecting to blah blah.\"

Right now it actually IS easy enough to get more parts then you ever need for building whatnot. On servers that allow blueprints, spawn one and harvest it (making money is very very easy). Otherwise, learn and abuse the factory system a bit. If all else fails, look up admin commands...
