The idea is not a predefined class system, it's just another line of text under the ship's name that saves with the blueprint, so you could have Ship Name i liek chocolate milk if you wanted.

Doesn't it already do this for pirate stations anyway?

Basically, the idea is it'd add another line under the ship's name when you target it, so your ship could be like; Ship Name ShipClass-Class Ship Since it's just a line of text, you could probably use it for other purposes too. Figured it would be a good idea now that the UI is getting...

Just a simple string of text displayed under the ship's name. Saves in blueprints, but can only be changed via the faction module (i.e, there wouldn't be a spot to enter the ship's class when you buy the ship.).

Whoops. No, I mean reducing range without reducing accuracy - you could then, for example, use beam/cannon/this and have a short-range lightsaber mounted on your fighter. The shotgun effect also doesn't increase damage output IIRC, just splits it into separate blasts

New support effect idea: Heavily reduces your weapon's range in exchange for increasing it's damage about half as much (thus, 90% reduction in range gives you a 45% increase in damage output). Unsure what it's defensive effect would be. Thoughts?

The Shortbow is a highly-maneuverable fighter armed with a large, forward-firing beam turret and several smaller forward-firing turrets for missile defense. It's odd shape allows a skilled pilot to simply dodge incoming fire, all the while keeping it's beam unit on-target. A quad-barrel...

Seems like a good secondary use for the Scanner. Maybe have the results stored on the map for all players, and give a reward for revealing it - gives a nice reason to explore. Or store the results on a local map, and you can sell your map updates to other players.

A small, 'squished' rendition of the Miranu Courier from Escape Velocity: Override. Designed for long-range travel. Has a very large, quick hyperdrive, poor shielding and only a single turret to defend itself with - designed to run, not fight.

It'd be neat if resources (i.e ores) were a lot rarer in some systems/galaxies than others - could have one area of a galaxy rich in Parstun while the other's got a lot of Hital, etc. Would help trade - you need large amounts of one resource, you'll have to either take a trip to get it or pay...

Fixed Missile/Beam drawing too much power

Changed missile/beam to explosive effect as it drains too much power now.

I think it's fine; it'll make mobile bases a thing, and jump rings more practical.

With a large enough jump drive you won't even notice the stopping.

Excellent, keep em comin'.

It'd be fine if it was wide as it was tall?

Ship sizes: Post them. Size of any ship, ships you use to run around servers in, shuttles, fighters, dropships, corvettes, frigates, ships you just found floating around, anything. I need this for... reasons.

Why are the Width and Height rules so different? Pretty much forces you to make a dagger-shaped ship... :/

That would actually be pretty useful for this; we could have players grab the sizes of random ships from the servers they play on, so we see what sizes they trend toward

The idea is a list - made right here on the forum - of generally agreed-upon sizes for docking modules; so you can more easily add compatibility for other people's ships if you so desire - completely optional.
