Well, one of the things about gravity is that you can't non-aligned to it. In a gravity elevator you flip upside-down.

Actually, option two might be a way of implementing this reload, and giving power cost to things like missiles without requiring massive amounts of power tanks.

Have you seen the mod team and dev team's "ranks?" No, really? A few days ago Schema himself still had the "New Member" rank, which I thought was amusing. Now his title is "Ancient Member." Personally, I'd like "Senior Redshirt" as a custom rank.

A block that allows weapons to burst-fire. Useful for missiles, artillery, and anything else that's slow Connect them to a weapons controller to get them to work. So, new implementation concept that is less OP, but same basic idea: Now weapons store energy to fire, and reload time is based...

Well, there are: -mechs -dropships -dedicated freighters -repair/utility vessels -giant turrets of doom -shuttlecraft

So hopefully one of the features that will be added soon is mechanical blocks - blocks that allow shipbuilders to make vents that open, missile hatches, doors, and any and all cool moving bits of a ship. So 3 types of blocks (actually would be 5) First would be purely cosmetic: exposing glowy...

Nice exhaust ports there. It's pretty impressive. As for the secondary thrusters I think you may want something that complements the spiky bits of the engines. Those look a bit lonely right now.

I'm thinking more that the seat should be a simple block, that gets activated to enter and shows where the player is while "sitting"

Well, labeling system would actually make it easier to use the structure tab for everything. Imagine being able to label docking ports, label weapons systems, doors. Adding group functionality would make things easier.

Could be balanced by a) limiting the number of NPCs under the player/faction can control and/or b) making the AI unable to be a salvager drone and combat vessel, so if you park it in an asteroid belt and fly off, in about two days you know the drone would get blown up.

Well thought out. +1 Also, there should be the ability to import factions into a universe that someone else has already made and uploaded to the website.

If you want a way to optimize the viewer, have you considered unloading all blocks that aren't exposed?

I'd rather the custom particle effects be client side. First, there's no need to transmit them to the client. Second, it means that if I have a gaming rig and I want to have awesome particle effects that would bluescreen a normal computer immediately, I can, and if I have just a laptop, I can...

Maybe it would be possible to use a standard docked ship. Assuming they get rid of the annoying half-block gap, you could make it look seamless. To balance it, a "virtual rotation" would be added. This would be a tracking of the aim of the "turret" to prevent it from aiming too far to the sides...

Yeah. Sort by size, distance, hostile, and keep docked and turret ships tucked into a tree.

Wait, what?

I'd rather have beam weapons act like other weapons in that you need to put them in less-shielded turrets rather than in the hull of your ubership. Turrets with cannons are already kind of OP. Rotation speed of turrets needs to be nerfed, and off-axis firing should be banned. That will go a long...

Hey, I just realized you wouldn't need different types of chairs. With the linking system, if you wanted a captain's chair, you would select the core and then the chair. To get shield management consoles, link the chair to any shield block. As for the mechanics of requirements, have each system...

Why have the system where you dock a fixed object with a turret on it on your ship when you can just fix the turret on your ship directly?
