Finally...

Now that we got jumpdrives, I can finally finish the Cougar, as it's one of it's key components as an exploration ship. What ships would you like to see next?

But what if I'm using a tiny fighter that can't have heatseekers fitted in?

Basically, what the title says. make it possible to protect ships without a faction module, because as it currently is, it is terrible for small fighters: 1) It can cost around half the price of some small ships 2) If placed straight in front of a ship core, it can make a nearly-impenetrable...

Like, pressing C when facing a planet segment would align you to it? +1

I quite like these ideas, but I don't see myself using hyperdrive at all, not even on huge ships. The fact that it makes a ship completely immobile really bugs me. I'll use jumdrives instead. Also, how about instead of directly reducing thrust from factories an hyperdrive, just make their mass...

Thank you Sir.

That's one way of doing it. It could be possible to reinforce the ship by adding more hull blocks. That would also encourage larger ships to also rely on armor other then just shielding.

I think we should also talk about how thrust would work in realistic game mode. I'd say that it would be linear increase in thrust and power consumption, but with some sort of other drawbacks for making F1 titan ships.

Those aerodynamic calculations might cause some lag, but if Schema can pull it off, I'm fine.

Barren Moon-like planets maybe?

And muffins. Got 8 of those now.

Air friction would be prety cool, not sure about reentry though.

A little simplified Newtonian physics shouldn't be that hard to implement, just remove the space friction and add a per-ship option to autobrake if the player accidentally leaves the ship to avoid losing it. This also adds a nice bonus: It allows making inertial missiles and cruise control.

Right now the playerbase is split in half. One side is players who wish to sacrifice realism for fun. Another side beleives that the more realistic the game is, the more fun it is. None of them are wrong. What I suggest is add a realistic gamemode. It would feature newtonian physics (no linear...

By inappropriate I thought you meant something entirely else...

Cool! Nice to see some non-symmetrical designs. They became somewhat rare recently.
