It looks good, especially considering this is your first attempt. Still needs to be polished inside and out, but you have a solid start. You could probably use some more color variation on the hull.

Another thing about the computers is that they aren't distinguishable from the sides, so depending on where you put them it hard to tell which computer is which. You think you could add something like the icons kupu put on the sides of the default texture computers?

Hook a storage to a docking port, and possibly some "constrution enhancers" If you put a blueprint in it, it'll pull blocks in and put them in the blueprint. Then it'll start "building" it, whether that's loading in chunks or just poofing it in.

Structure tab is not convient, since it isn't sortable, and you can't enter stuff through it

Maybe a "transformer" type-factory which switches blocks around between equviliant types?

I think the way to do it is to have the reclaimer keep track of how many base resources (capsules, meshes, circuits) are used and then when you have 10 of them drop 1 in the inventory

1 second per sector is a bit fast, and if you wanted to drop out quickly you might miss by a sector or so. And since there's going to be a realspace penatly for having a hyperdrive, it'd take longer to get there. Instead of a normal drain from the hyperdrive, it should instead have a constant...

Second idea doesn't scale well. Third idea is great, making floating armor panels even more effective.

Hmm, I like the idea of "buried ships" giving you a few random components.

I don't think complete reclaimation is a good idea. Instead, it should be at about 70-90% of the original.

It is a beautiful butterfly!

You only get one chance to release on Steam. Don't mess it up.

I notice that while all your ships are very well constructed, they all tend to look very similar, in overall shape and the style detailing. Perhaps you can try diversifying your style. Your interceptor (with the big purple vents) was a refreshing break, and I think you could grow as a builder...

I love it when a ship comes together.

To be fair, all of my salvaging is done on servers (where I'm not admin.) Also, even the continous beams have a moment where they blink off for a frame and its anoying and feels cheap

I think its intended. Otherwise, in a .5 second pulse (500ms, the server ticks are 30ms, so 16 ticks) you could salvage 17 blocks once you got over 20 damage/pulse. The extra ticks are there to balance out the off-part of the cycle. I would rather they all be visually contious.

Having salvage damage related to the HP of the block is easy, the beam itself can store the data about the damage getting built up. However, it gets tricky when there are multiple salvage beams on the same block. The system would have to effeciently identify the overlap and then decide who gets...

The problem with that is: Different ships have different needs for shield-sharing. For example, a ship with a few turrets its own size (and comparable shields) requires little to no shield sharing, as both parts are equally capable of resisting damage. A large with many small turrets would want...

That wasn't the main argument the last time this came up. The argument was that small turrets on a large ship would not be vulnerable to being taken out until the shields fail, favoring giganstism. Some form of shield-sharing would help towards a balanced game, by preventing large ships from...

Wait, can this thing land on a planet? ( )_( )
