So you just need to know the size of the ship. I suggest using wire-less or rail-linked logic to exchange information stored in logic until you find a better solution. Let the ship tell the elevator about it's size after the elevator asks it. 00 = no question 01 = x 02 = y 03 = z Answer...

Atomic bombs have a minimum size because of the critical mass. Fission/Fusion reactors have a minimum yield because of the energy to start a fission/fusion-reaction. Imagine a system where you need a minimum wall-thickness of 10cm independent of size (armour vs basic guns maybe). It would...

It would also reduce the number of entries. Have you thought about the details of mixing strings? If string A, B, C exists, A-B, B-C connected, A|C not connected, (A→C)=>(A→B→C). You could access way-points of B for route-planing without showing all of B. But 2 strings merging to a...

Better use the Entf/Del-key :D

It's natural to choose reliability. You only use unreliable things if they are needed from time to time otherwise good to have, but as secondary resort special outfit for some task or just in case the enemy didn't think about a counter and it's super-effective in this case in this case you...

Agree. Volumetric projectiles with damage-transparency if they don't fully hit a target (use a 2D-plane intersection to detect hits). Always have to think about Death-Wings from StarGate (translated from Todesgleiter). They fire 2 projectiles at a time and often miss the person inbetween the...

Interaction-benefits: if there is a warp-gate route between you and certain other faction, you get something that you can't get otherwise or takes some time to get. Optional : depending on distance/faction-size, faction-size-ratio, … I'd like to see a network of gates built by many players to...

When making a standard Look for the possible minimum, maximum and optimum. Search for a word or idea to clearly separate weight-classes and categories in your own specification. –––Disclaimer: My opinions here––– Class-0 Unmanned - defined by size of living quarters from Class-1: Drones...

Would agree, but You need consistency and I don't want to install every possible VoIP software, 1 per com partner. The quality of voices sucks. I often don't understand a word from some players. I would like to stick to text only and discourage any implementation of VoIP for that reason.

Over-suggested topic. It would be cool to have a non-editable planet with a few building sites and a few mining sites - every now and then. I like a landscape, canyons to fly through (similar to a racer game) to find your hidden base entrance and underground tunnels going from building site to...

Assumptions: You have a docked, moving elevator This elevator carries a docked, not moving ship The door has to trigger when the elevator approaches. Any timed delay is possible.

Agree, but you would take away 1 strength of SM over SE : HUGE STRUCTURES. I would prefer a rendering optimization where parts that weren't visible last frame are inaccurate similar to the perception of the human vision on moving parts - you mostly adjust expectations of what you recognized...

when you start a station in the planet sector it orbits. Even if you continue building that station over the sector-border into an adjacent. Same as if you would continue building from a planet (station with planet gravity). The issue is the different inertial frame station→you. Issue could...

Both should work. Getting at the end of a rail should cause speed=0 until a new rail appears adjacent (check adjacent having something docked on creation) or the rail itself changes directions. Speed and direction both needs 2 blocks I think. For some it's easier to figure out a pattern if...

And you get bananed for crashing big ships into planets (or world-ships which is the same).

I don't like just shift+crtl+alt as pre-cursors. Imagine System-combos bound to these keys. Imagine pressing the windows key to minimize your window (when using Windows :D - I use Linux) Imagine pressing CAPS_LOCK and confusing your shift+key behaviour. I prefer key-combos. Combos like T&any...

As long as you don't want to use a gate instead (another sector). (( Imagine A-star pathfinder through complex gate-networks ^^ ))

I expect an ambiguous response, Bench :) You said it is interesting which is nice to hear and more than I expected :D As far as I know, license-law is based on patent-law which requires ingenuity. As defined by GEMA, it is a unique pattern of 4 elements (notes I think) which I consider far too...

Copyright is based on the Patent-law. That Patent-law is based on ingenuity. If you can mathematically proof, that you posses the ingenuity to independently re-create the subject, Patent-law should accept you as sole-owner too, which allows you to share it under your own license. In a...
