The game already has a (somewhat) usable copy/paste function, could we use that to move blocks around with logic to create a holodeck? As in, say we make a 40x40x40 cube empty room, even make it black with the yellow grid. Off to the sides hidden from view are premade "rooms". Use some logic...

Best weapon for pirates are heat seekers, IMO. Try a stealth ship with some heatseeker arrays. Cloak in, fire off your heatseekers, recloak. If you time it right you won't even need shields as they'll never touch you (though have enough to live through a few seconds of attack just in case).

Yeah, thats what I was afraid of. Means making door hatches 3 blocks thick with the middle block being a completely square door. Oh well.

Have you seen the Shangri-La class derelict stations? The big ship looking bases with holes blown out of them, that are filled with damaged lighting corridors, and kill-bots with glowing red eye rods while display blocks say things like "They are always watching!"? I swear, when I first got...

I'd love to be able to put say a standard armor wedge and a plex door wedge in the same block position, flipped so that the two halves made one solid block. I have a lot of hatchways for instance that I make round using wall wedges. Is there a way to push a door wedge up flush with a wall wedge?

When fighting pirates, many times you get a satisfying loot cloud floating in space. Fly through it, pick up loot, nice and simple. Except that all the loot goes into your personal inventory, meaning after virtually every cloud you have to stop, sort into ship inventory, and keep going. Could...

So when I go pirate harvesting, I always come back with many boxes full of blocks. I fill up my inventory, leave the ship, and hike over to my storage locker on my base. I spend several minutes sorting everything out, then go back to my ship and do it again. Lather, rinse, repeat for 10-15...

Oh yes, I feel your pain. Was working on a capitol ship once that had massive amounts of overdrive (luckily in one solid block) that was mostly buried under other systems...and I accidentally deleted the computer due to mirror mode. Minor panic attack as I thought I was going to have to tear...

I've heard there is a turret overhaul coming, so maybe this is already in that, but putting it out there anyway, just in case. Instead of having the turret active/disabled be something we have to get out of our ship and enter the turret to click on the Bobby AI, have the turret docking block...

Benefit of having it on asteroids as opposed to planet based is that asteroids are already recognized as distinct entities, and they are always the same kind. Planets are random which resources they get, but turning on asteroids in your navigational settings show that not only do we already...

Yes, being able to rotate the docks would be very nice. My current ship has nice big turrets on top that face forward, and the same turrets on the bottom face backwards. I'd really rather not build an entire backwards duplicate of the turrets just to have them all face forwards like they're...

Probably too difficult to implement, but perhaps if its a 1x1 to start with then it could do the old fashioned shotgun?

Right now Pulse as a Master slot weapon is pretty limited in what it can do, simply because it is so rare to have an enemy ship get that close to you, but it got me thinking. What is routinely close enough to you to be affected by a pulse blast? Answer, your turrets. Could we make it to where...

Currently when you slave a missile to just about anything you get a shotgun effect that fires off rather uncontrollably in all directions. This seems rather useless to me, as it can't be aimed, and if what you're trying to hit isn't within ramming distance they don't get hit at all, or they...

Just a simple one, but currently we tell the difference between various arrays based on their computer icons, and many of the icons look very much alike. In combat, it can be quite difficult to tell the difference between say a missile/cannon array and a missile/beam array, you just have to...

Ah, great minds run a muck it appears.

So I've read that the current asteroid respawning is actually a bug and that this is not their intended behavior. Its also currently against many server rules to mine planets, because of the lag created by taking large ships near them. So how about the ability to build mining stations? First...

What about being able to combine two existing light blocks into a single block that has no off? For example, you could make an indicator light by combining Red and Green lights, and any logic or manual switching would cause it to toggle between red and green. Its always on, cannot be turned...

Currently when my ships take a lot of damage in combat, I simply go into build mode, delete the entire ship, and then spawn a new copy from blueprints. I personally don't like the feel of this, just seems like the ship you spent a month building by hand that served you through thick and thin...
