Then any ship that doesn't have an infini charge FTL would fail. And if that doesn't happen, than a ship could slip through enemy territory and pop up behind enemy lines incredibly easily.

*In the arms of the angels starts playing* Every day, millions of newbies are dying. They are being shot, killed, looted, robbed, and thrown into stars. This is why you must donate to this thread today. Please. Save the endangered newbie with a dedicated survival mode. This survival mode would...

It has been suggested before. This is my thread about it: http://starmadedock.net/threads/change-ftl-mechanics.3983/ It factors in power and enemy space. Not to crap on your thread or anything, but it has been suggested before with a little more style. I still do like your idea, though.

Let's get rid of the hud and replace everything with chairs and joysticks. You'd have to place blocks to get the proper information you need.

I think it should apply to whole systems instead of planets. Each system would have a higher concentration of one or maybe two ores, and once in a blue star three. They'd still have other ores, so a new player could get off the ground. But you couldn't support a larger faction with a couple of...

If it's easily obtainable everywhere, then there's no point. And when did anyone talk about crafting? You are just that guy, aren't you.

Nukes don't lock on to anything. They're dumb-fire.

No, you can't. They're fast as hell. Near impossible to dodge. You can hide behind an asteroid, though.

Yep! There are a lot of servers that are role play ones. I can send you a real good one if you're interested.

Not at all. Planet destroying missiles should not turn as fast as smaller ones. It just doesn't make sense. It balances missiles quite nicely this way. The whole point of the game isn't building a huge titan, you know. And maybe you can't dodge missiles, but you can shoot them down.

That's a good point. I resign my argument. Here are a couple things that haven't been mentioned: Missiles need to have nav signatures, and their turning speed needs to be proportional to their damage. This is so they are easier to detect and dodge.

This relates quite nicely to another thread I posted about crewability, if anyone is interested: http://starmadedock.net/threads/a-manifesto-on-crewability.4329/

Damage beams, maybe?

You can use an upward facing cannon for your toilets.

It may scare off new players, but that makes the community more mature and pays off in the long run with a more rewarding experience.

No, it isn't. The game used to be way easier. Blowing up a few times isn't something to whine about. As a side note, radar jammers should be in the tutorial.

Radar jammer.

No, not at all. What we need is a way for crews to be useful first.

Heh.

Pipes and metal grills.
