Nice use of litote, Azeriah. Litote is dramatic use of understatement. They're UGLIER THAN THAT. But I think that the Gozanti-class is even uglier.

A slow repair (By using a design stored in the CORE of a ship, an idea that Schine's mentioned) via astrotechnobeam (Spread around the entire ship, no matter where the beam hits) would give fleet tenders a reason to exist. Well, that and shipping consumables to allies...once we get something...

This doesn't propose any real mechanism for changing the economy, at least not in a meaningful way. Before we have an economy, we need a reason to trade. To have a reason to trade, we must introduce the economic concept of SCARCITY: Unlimited desires COMPETING FOR limited resources. In other...

Wait, it won't work if the carrier's docked?

Very neat. Nice looking Arquitens. Looks a lot different from the Republic Arquitens for some reason, though that may just be the color scheme.

There was a suggestion that recommended (At some point in the discussion) logic-based fleet commands, or at least the ability to use logic on a vessel to read and give fleet orders. Also, that thread came with a discussion of command and control over an empire, and the sorts of computers and...

Yeah. Everyone on that bridge is dead. Not necessarily because of the explosion, the crew pit would've been some protection (Happened before that Imps survive bridge decompression/explosions from running to the turbolifts at the back of the crew pits) but the decompression would've almost...

I chose the third option because it was guaranteed to get a good, funny response from the OP. However, I think that based on the plans the game will become home to a huge variety of interactions. PvP will stay central, I'd think, because internet people love to argue and start fights.

I think that giving a similar functionality to the astrotechnobeam would be better. Allow it to replace destroyed blocks as well as repair damaged ones. Also, give it an area of effect, or even just a slower repair speed and full-ship effect, i.e. repairs replaces blocks all over the ship.

Maybe a separate block to allow modular ships to be easily constructed, then. I suppose the other option for modular ships is to build one of each possible ship, and make it a BP so you can use it in a shipyard....but then if you have multiple options on a ship it gets complex fast.

My idea is that it is slow, but not so slow that it's unusable. Mostly I want to have a system that prepares a jumpdrive for use without extreme hassle, so you can charge a JD while mining or exploring a station/trading without your ship trying to leave you behind or requiring you to hold a...

What? I don't play SE, so I don't know what you're talking about.

Interesting idea, potentially useful. However, perhaps a better system for permanent/semipermanent attachment. Logic-signal-based permanent attachment, perhaps? Then you can send another signal later and it will form another entity with all the original blocks, and be capable of detaching again...

I'd say that allow one logic signal to CHARGE a JD at a slow rate. In other words, logic clocks can be used to speed up the process, and some other system MUST be used to fire it, but a normal JD for, say, a warship, could charge while the player does other things. Because really, what possible...

Oh yes, yes, yes, please! No more potentially unreliable logic clocks for me!

I like the idea of a hardpoint. Perhaps this can be as tough as advanced armor, but incapable of movement.

Or just put tabs for advanced means of doing things that are already on the adv build mode screen, and keep the build panel as it is now. As in, this new advanced screen contains these segments and maybe some ways to customize other functionality.....like mirroring something using two mirrors...

Hopefully they've got more methods by which you can utilize fleets planned. This is an absolutely genius one, by the way. The only way to do this right now is to dock a drone hangar to a station and tell the hangar that it's a flagship. Also, make sure the hangar can't use its docker.

It's a neat idea, but yeah, wrong forum. Might belong in the Shipyard, if you intend for it to become a sort of competition among Star Wars builds. Otherwise, general discussion. But I've got a neat (To-scale) Clone Z-95, an armored and shielded to-scale TIE fighter, the same completed...

Alrighty, I'll get an image. Here you go: It's shaped like that, but doesn't need to be. The horizontal axis is embedded in the black plate, the vertical is just barely visible on the gun's right, and it has an excellent range of motion. Cannon-cannon, one emitter, 2 modules total, utterly...
