The thing about in-game music is it could respond to in-game events. Going for a pirate raid? Nice battle music. Pirate mothership spawning in? Music of dooooooom! Just building? Simple ambient music. When you play from an external source, you will sometimes get things like a nice peaceful...

My point was that while turrets are crazy-accurate and would be extremely annoying with hitscans, they are still dependent on external shields to survive combat, which makes them vulnerable.

I put this on the old forums:

Nice technobabble. In regards to the changed aft portion of the ship, I think it's a bit flat. You might want to add some sort of pod to the back to break up the infinite plane of uniform you seem to be making.

One of the things about the half-block gap is that if you dock something with a ramp you still have to jump onto the ramp. Solution to clipping on undock: step 1: dock ship, with bottom of the ship on the surface (gap of zero) step 2: on undock, teleport the ship up .001 blocks or whatever will...

The new beam weapons are hitscan weapons. They will most likely fire at the cursor like all other weapon types. This seems to be extremely similar to OP's post. However, the OP adds auto-targeting (which turrets do have) inside the shields of your ubership. That would be rather overpowered.

5km is really long for instantaneous transport. Maybe a sector or two, or once we get multi-sector planets/station to any station on the same "entity"

Yeahhhhhh...... That's a good idea. You would need to have faction members or NPCs man the consoles. Even if you decided to fly the ship from the core, you would still need to have the bridge crew somewhere. Of course, what if large ships actually required all those passive buffs to be...

1) Are there plans for any sort of mechanical blocks? And furthering that question, which sort will be added? Simple translation/rotation for cosmetic effect only (revealing glowing bits, exposing missile bays) that has no physics/gameplay effect? Translation blocks? Activateble rotation...

I'm not a fan of "hyperspace/slipspace" mechanics. You get this weird delay where you can't interact with other ships/players as well. I'm more a fan of just jumping to the target, provided every ship has a charge-up time.

Will larger planets have different types of climates on them? So terrestrial planets would have ice caps, oceans, deserts, forests, plains, and cites. Martian planets would have ice canyons (canyons with plants on the side and ice at the bottom), martian plains, ancient cities, ice caps, and...

Well, having a comprehensive, customizable class system (for a server) would allow easier things such as having AI fleets show up and be appropriate to the size of the fleet the players have, or maybe limiting the number of titans a faction can have, or any other method of balance.

The planets just spin in space now. Yeah, having the planets mostly in a plane around the sun, with a few small (i.e. current size) planets above and below the elliptic would be good.

Wait, the new crystals were ditched? Also, in terms of minor tweaks do you think you could change the textures of the proteins and paints to be a little more unified? (Give the A1000 protein one marking of a specific color, the A2000 two markings, the A3000 three markings, etc., as opposed to...

You want to go to the community content section at the top of the forums and you should be able the ship there. Click "add content" at the top.

My idea for power consumption was simply that placing a block would require x amount of energy. Depending on how many blocks/sec are being placed determines the energy consumption.

Since you brought up that topic, I'd also like a separate texture for the build block as well. And while we're at it, the sprites for the manufacturing materials should be changed. It just seems like the textures for them were determined by a completely random process with little regard to the...

Dang Incap you can draw well. Do you think you could do something with this ship?

Semi-transparent panels for holographic screens would be an excellent idea.

There are categories of ships, skins, texture packs, etc. However, maybe the ships should be organizable by stats (Length, mass, DPS, shields,)
