      Artificial planet gravity

      I think such a system should be available on a ship, but only one direction on at a time. (Can't have a universal down in two different directions, unless you want to create a composite, diagonal gravity direction.) Also, to save on a BlockID, I recommend that this be an optional function of...

      Thrust cones on docked entities should disappear.

      Simple and effective. I fully agree with this.

      (Bigger stuff = better) => how this can actually NERF big ships.

      Still processing. There's lots of data in a small space. Wondering about the processor load of angled hits. (Might have to use invisible virtual bullets across the width of the weapon area to accurately model damage.)

      Shield Damage Overhaul Idea (Outdated and dumb)

      Due to the open nature of how people can build ships combined with the concept of missile explosions effectively turning ships inside-out, I think that if this idea were to catch on, the change in shield power should be a function of mass (block count), instead of surface area. Plus, death to...

      Cannon/beam rebalance vs Missiles (+realism, coooool!)

      I love your recent comment on the bug. "What? That's not a fix!"

      Female Avatar: Stephanie (the counterpart to Steve)

      I believe a shallow wedge or pair of mirrored wedges going all the way across the chest would be more in keeping with the simple-figure aesthetic and would better reflect smooth-line female sci-fi uniforms of years past. Generally, each individual breast is not highlighted unless the uniform is...

      Can't Do That Star Fox (Dev build edition)

      I can see this taking a while to figure out. Interlocking wedges on doors may be an over-powered system, which may lead to block-angles getting reduced HP and mass sooner than anticipated. After all, if you have a single block space that effectively contains two angle blocks (or a penta and...

      Cannon/beam rebalance vs Missiles (+realism, coooool!)

      Great stuff. I would like to see one block punch-through plus a one block radius spread of half the total remaining damage for every three orders of magnitude. (The remaining half of the damage value would be applied to effects, like pierce or additional explosive or punch-through effect.)...

      Working 8-bit CPU =D

      Yes, the 1950s are a heady time for us space explorers. Surely, the universe will only need, at maximum, five of those "computer" things.... http://ifaq.wap.org/computers/famousquotes.html

      Block: Rubber or Rounded to Remedy Rotational Restrictions!

      1 barrel shape x 8 colors x 4 hull types = 32 (not a terribly huge amount) At least one member of the dev team has expressed interest in barrel-shaped blocks before in the forum. But like I said, it won't stop there. People will want round ice crystals, rounded angles of various kinds, round...

      Block: Rubber or Rounded to Remedy Rotational Restrictions!

      I'm definitely more in favor of "rubber" blocks. Once you start down the slippery slope of rounded blocks, everybody is going to want their pet block(s) in a rounded form, eating up all available BlockIDs.

      System Control Computers- Introducing New Features and Saving IDs

      You won't be slaving cards to the computer. You will "insert" the card (metadata) into the computer to change its behavior, at which point the computer can be mastered or slaved with other systems.

      How long has LShift+V been a function?

      Does it work on light blocks/rods yet?

      Cool things that could be made with rails

      Yep, that would be good too. Also, doors that wouldn't crush astronauts (and something could be introduced to force-open such doors, leading to new boarding gameplay mechanics.)

      Stack Like By Default

      I'm talking about uploading different blockconfig files to the Community Content area, for people who don't want to muck around in XML files themselves, but still want to change how blocks are stacked. Could be that non-compatible builds could just have a link to agreeable mod files in their...

      Cool things that could be made with rails

      The idea of true landing gear is very interesting. I wonder if, in addition to adding friction, if we can get environment-reactive rails. Environment-reactive rails would work the same as regular rails, but would stop their motion or be pushed back on the rail if they encounter any resistance...

      Stack Like By Default

      I'd like to see optional configs available in Community Content under "mods". I didn't find any with a simple "stack" search. Has anyone uploaded any? Maybe a zip file full of different optional configs. (E.g. "This one is just a basic tweak of the default. That one is a complete overhaul. The...

      Way to make LUA computers in game without laggs

      The OP will also encourage scripters to optimize their operations. The difference between a program performing a function in 2 seconds or 10 seconds can be a matter of life and death.
