You could use the rail magnet system to latch onto things. But what about collision checks?

Well to answer your final question a lot of times in scifi literature and film(#bestsourceever)almost all jump- or hyper- or warp-drive usage usually has a computer "making calculations" while some technician runs around flipping switches off and on and pressing buttons, even if the captain or...

Yes! You did it! Maybe add the function to have several remove/replace functions, as in you could replace cannon computers with missile computers, cannon modules with missile modules, explosive computer with ion computers, and explosive modules with ion modules. Like having up to 4-5 different...

Answer: create thread/ title: Inverse remove/replace filter Type: press button: create thread /create thread. Do it. I comand you!:p

That would be a really good function for them. Almost all copiloting issues could be solved this way. One thing I forgot to mention is that players in the drone should override, unless the computer and controller both set remote override on. I imagine this would be great for everything from...

Make it act like a cargo block. Set the tick rate for checking for impact way slower(config shinanigans), so slower servers can make void mining blocks more pulsey, more power every once and a while, and superservers can make it more constant. All depends on how laggy they actually are. If...

The role play!!!,\0/ That sounds awsome! I would support this just for that!

That gave me an idea- what if you used the carrier push rail things? They shoot at 30 mps or something so...

I like this. It could have two blocks, a drone computer and a drone controller. The computer would go on the parent ship, and the controller on the drone. Drone computers could have any number of drones you could link it to, so you could give people 5 ships(or lives( 5 copies), if in tourniment...

Okay. So this is just assuming every storage and factory in the system is all there is, and that everything is linked together. Nice. I like it. Should I say more?

I kinda think it would balance things out more. It might be less confusing as well, having one step directors than having an omni-controler. How can your's not move items? You said Unless it funneled the products and resources between factories (requests from the shipyards or other factories...

Make progress reports then. Unless you want surprises. But give some hints on what you're up to.

Probably the third;). But where are the designs? Unless they started making the big stuff(well they said they wouldn't build much bigger than 100-120 meter long ships but...), or are focusing on developing?...

Not to mention thatnthey need updating.

I'm assuming this would be a system where it is a block that determines that if the ship is moving forward, anything that is linked to it that has an X cordinate greater than the block activates? Just wanted to give an idea how you could program it I guess. +1

Just go overkill and be able to handle both. If you think that's inefficent then make your turrets have both too.

How does it work? I know it is like a bit lile java, but not much else.

What about noncoders.... This could be the advanced cannon(FtD) of starmade I guess. Keep the old system but always have a better, newfagled system you could use thatwas more complicated but better or more diverse.

What if you used the shadow algorithm (with the sun) on all sides of the craft. Replace the shadow effect with the jumpdrive effect. This would work very badly with atmospheres, but if you use the shadow algorithm it would look pretty good from the outside and inside.

I guess I kinda saw how people used the general idea of the automation, especially after I actually joined multipayer factions and saw other ideas. I don't really mean using inserters and stuff to input and output, I just mean the multistep production style used in those games working in...
