You're going to need an interior if you want crew. That's not just me guessing. Bench outright said it. Even if it isn't continuous, it'll still have computers to break and crew to kill off before you beam back with a beacon to try again, or start cutting your way to the next room with a...

Wing it, for now. Maybe have specific colors for future builds. I'm hoping not everyone makes a grey/black/white industrial style build. It'd definitely give us a nice matching set of hull segments, though. :P

Bruh... did you even read the Development Direction post... "Unwatch Thread" button, right at the top.

Considering how stars destroy random blocks on your ship, I think it wouldn't be unlikely for a block of your JD to get broken... at which point, you're rather fucked, since you can't jump out.

Ah, right. Guess those ships that my faction has captured through boarding before were just hallucinations. Does "being able to beam into a random occupied room on an enemy vessel, and them not being able to instakill you using ship weapons" not sound like a dramatic change to make boarding...

Nope! Unless the weapon is a special part of the build (turrets, drones, warhead mines, firework swarmers, etc), I'd advise against it.

Slight smoothing or putting things like greebles in the gap might be necessary. As for interior, I probably should have actually said this, but it isn't needed. This is just shells. It's an optional thing that would be nice but is not required. For matching it up? Elevators, sharp hallway turns...

Whatever theme you want for this one. There may be specific themes in the future, but for now, whatever you want to build. Sure. Is this for midsection 1? I'll put you down for that.

Chainsaw torch is your friend. System blocks don't stand a chance. It appears the devs actually want FTL-like boarding. Use the transporter to teleporter human or NPC boarders directly into the enemy ship. You know, that awesome AI update that adds things like actually useful NPCs? "Stop...

Shields aren't a bubble, though. They're a skin that covers everything, including the inside of the ship. False. It is impossible to board someone through their hallways, yes, but you can always make your own hallways. Besides, do you REALLY think that being able to kill off boarders by...

A quick comparison- Standard armor has 250 EHP by default. With armor HP, that's 500. With both passive hull boosters, that's 1,333 EHP per block as long as armor HP is up. However, this is only as useful as you have layers thick of armor. Shield capacitors have ~110 (slowly decreases as you...

I'd say not being able to build across multiple plates is better than the massive amounts of distortion from building or even just having a large object near the planet. Plus, you CAN build across plates. There's just a bit of a jagged edge.

I prefer odd.

Besides advanced, armor is much, much cheaper than shields. It's not as effective because it's cheaper to produce, but standard is about the same strength as a shield cap when you account for armor protection. What tier of armor, how thick, and what passives reinforcement are you using? From my...

Uh... you quite sure about that?

Added.

Yeah, just copypasting the parts together. refirendum, I'll put you down for engines.

Did they say if thrust would be directional based on the direction the thruster block was facing, or through a slider system as planned? I hope it's a slider system. I don't want to have to rip out all the thrusters on my ship just to replace them at different angles.

I think warheads need to have maybe... 10x the damage, but maybe 5x the resource cost as well. They should also stack together (probably on a diminishing returns system) to make building decent torpedoes doable. Warheads need some sort of counter, though. I think PD turrets should try and...

Transporters are not by foot :P
