Momentum effects (and Ion and EMP) just do direct damage to astronauts. Remember to be safe around your ground-based core mass drivers and tractor beams, people.

Suggestions are open. Feel free to correct them.

(Whoops! Looks like this got cleared during the thread wipe.) Wasn't me who put it up, I just approved it.

Expanding the number of IDs would require using more bytes per block, which Schema has said would increase the size of files and the amount of RAM used by the game.

I've heard it said that while their are technically 2048 ID numbers, only 1024 IDs can exist on a single ship. Replacing blocks that have no function (ie the old ores) with, say, hull blocks, isn't going to break old BPs.

Shouldn't the variable for # of barrels (3 in your case) actually be -1 from the actual barrel number? After all, you don't suffer from the multiple output nerf if you only have one barrel.

The old ores are still in, they've just been renamed to things like "Burnt Orange Dirt."

So, I'm sure we all know there's quite a few unused block IDs, but I don't believe anyone's ever actually compiled the whole list. Thanks to this site (http://nblear.com/geckofleetworks/blocklist/) for the automatically updating block ID list. This is (probably) 62 IDs being wasted. We could...

I'm going to compile a list of IDs being occupied by unused, outdated items here. Probably going to make a thread on it as well. So, that's 62 (unless I counted wrong) unused IDs. That's enough for us to get a whole set of organic hull in all 10 colors, with 12 left over for a new hull color.

I remember a suggestion a while back that would replace Basic/Standard/Advanced/Crystal with armor that was more resistant to Cannons/Beams/Missiles/Pulse instead. I sort of liked the concept, but it has the problem of removing armor tiers and requiring a huge number of new hulls if a new weapon...

Organic hull would the best way to do this, imo, but that comes with the issue of implementing a huge number of block IDs. Personally, I'd be willing to replace, say, motherboards, with organic hull to save on IDs, but I doubt most people would be.

2 DPS, actually.

As someone who has torched into neutral ships before, I can confirm that the torch definitely a hostile action.

Planned most likely. Even if it's not, we're getting control points besides the core in the future, which will fill the same purpose as a core. I thought this was already done? I've only seen this issue on highly laggy servers on small ships with the astronaut in gravity (as opposed to just...

I'd like it if wrecks could be directly salvaged for scrap, but if you went inside and rebooted it, you could salvage the modules directly. The downside to that? It could be filled with hostile alien life forms, rouge AI, power caps at risk from exploding for being improperly maintained, etc...

I'm pretty sure there's an unused recycler block in the code. Maybe this should only happen if you're within a few sectors of a trade guild station or shop. It doesn't make much sense for the trade guild to show up and salvage pirate ships you fought in the void between galaxies.

Translations of ingame text would be nice. To save time for the devs, they could possibly have it community maintained.

Definitely no. Hull should only be repaired at shipyards or with a bandaid application of hull after a reboot after battle.

I'd hope we'll be seeing an official trade guild/pirate/any other future AI factions in the future, but I'd love to see an unofficial one right now. I'd imagine pirates would mainly use modified trade guild ships or ships slapped together from parts from trade and civilian ships.

Each output increases power consumption by 10% with beams, cannons, and possibly pulse. So, with 100k base and two outputs, you'd have 110k power cost. Missiles have a reduced output increase, at 2.5% each. 100k base with two outputs would have 102.5k power cost.
