If you don't have cargo, why would you have a big cargo crate in your bay? The idea was similar to docking areas with how the cargo area was defined, and then you have a seperate block that shows up when you put cargo in. It has its own mass, and you can tell if a freighter is running with no...

Woops, I misread the original suggestion. Sorry. But as for your question about what a co-pilot could do, you could have one person controlling the main guns while the other person handles the anti-hull weapons and the defensive effects or something like that.

Yes, but without a seconardy core or whatever, how are they supposed to access the logic? Running around and hitting button?

Also, a way to filter by what type of factory creates the type of block, or what type of factories use the block. Maybe we implement the filter for everything with a shop-like menu, but with a search filter and the ability to select by categories. So any of the shop categories would work, as...

Yes, but then the co-pilot couldn't aim if they were limited to running around a cockpit and hitting buttons.

No, even wtih logic, it would still be useful for larger ships that you want a co-pilot for

The schema actually commented on a suggestion similar to this long ago, except rather than just having the enchancers, it was a volume of space that got filled with cargo crate blocks and the number of blocks you put in it was related to how full it was. And vanhellzing, I will have to...

I think about 10-12% ambient lighting would work well. Note that I didn't try to get it working in the game, I just used your picture for that. At that level of ambient lighting I think it actually improves the shadows since they aren't perfectly dark.

Except then you don't get a swappable tools. Also, having logic remotely controlled may be a bit OP. Not to mention the annoyance of linking several things in a row, as opposed to setting a bunch of numbers and then going to another ship and setting a bunch of numbers.

Looking good there, still needs polishing. As for the planes and the placement indicator, you can get rid of those by hitting tab+G before taking the screenshots. Plus, with the HUD gone it's easier to find a good composition.

Damage pulse? That or use that for the utilities with a bunch of colorshifts on the glowy bits..

Except no, because if have a station 300mx300m and I want inside of another station's turrets or something, I also want the station's marker near the main body, which is over by the edge of the sector.

So, right above the planet? What if we want it close to a particular edge of the sector for whatever reason? Giving the player their coordinates inside the sector would be more useful since it can be used for navigation inside the sector (I'm thinking about on planets, trying to tell which plate...

Yes, I assume they would at least fix bugs before changing it. And given that it's an exposed config value, it's not a huge deal exactly when they change that value.

Planets are in the middle of a sector. If you try to build a station in the middle of a sector, you will have problems. However, I would be nice to get your in-sector coordniates so that you can place a station right at the middle. (plus for other reasons) That and the fact that the default...

Eh, so yeah, those are two mutally exclusive concepts. Because effeciency is probably a better way to go with engines and that messes up the power balance in favor of more surplus power, I think the energy curve should be made more than proportional. In other words, more ships will be power...

If you're doing interior, do that before you put down your systems. It's much easier to adjust the systems around your interior than the interior around your systems.

There's an idea out there for a "recall beam" that I think would work better, as you could use it to pick up a bunch of drones or to be a method for auto-docking your own ship.

Also, I feel like all mechanics of grouping should stay the same between different tiers. At T3 having no grouping rules whatsoever removes al challenges to building. Instead, these mechanics should be more important at higher tiers.
