The only thing that maters for reactors is the maximum size in any given direction. A single line of 100 generators gives the same power as one with three arms each 33 meters long (plus the center). You do want to build reactors as large as you can though as the benefit for several large...

Well you would be able to rig up doors that can be opened or closed by weapons but the regular player activated doors should not respond to weapons fire.

Anybody with automatic doors would have them open anytime the ship gets hit by a machine gun... no, if anything this should be a separate trigger. It could use the same area block but use it's own trigger block.

I think one of the points of the adjustable config files is that you can set up separate areas on a server that follow different rules. This was mentioned such as when you are in a nebula you could have reduced thrust or no shields. I don't see why server owners couldn't have entire galaxys...

Agree, while it's great for some ships it's not good for others, I have scout ships that are far too small for logic based auto pilot and dedicated push modules. Pretty much I've only seen these features on "luxury" craft as all that space is better dedicated to shields and/or weapons on any...

The game has a system of coordinates so it knows what block is what in relation to the core/center of a station. Larger blocks would just take up more room (memory) or everything would be scaled up. This would either make it difficult to have large and small blocks or every block would just...

1: Is anti gravity capable of this? I think if you activate it it stays on and should allow a ship to hover. 2: People have already made logic based auto pilot systems that do just this. ... Yeah we do need built in autopilot systems that any ship can enjoy without the need of...

This would probably take a huge amount of rework to how the game functions and offer no real benefit. The problem isn't stations are to small but ships are too large... Also there is not much reason to build large stations, home bases are invincible regardless of size and bigger ships means...

"cooperating server admins" It would take a combined effort on all server operators so custom block issues would entirely fall under the fault of them. You wouldn't be able to just link your server up to any server you want.

Are the pirate ships getting updated by you anytime soon? They were built before weapon and shield updates that have left them kind of lacking. They won't generate shields and some of the Mb cannot power their weapons effectively

I'm seeing a lot of mining ships utilizing anti-gravity already

Playing crafting only survival makes planets very valuable. There is currently no way to acquire stations in a survival universe without selling to shops or cheating yourself some money. If you rely on crafting then selling items isn't even a great idea as you have to give up what you may need...

Sure there are a lot of people who want one form of classification or another. If one is chosen all those who disagree won't be happy and those who don't even want a forced class system wont be happy. Considering how the game seems to be built balance wise I think the official classes would be...

This is why I have a separate creative universe for building and testing designs/concepts.

My ships usually have a class name and then when I spawn them in I give them a personal name. This would be a neat addition.

Motherships cannot hit her own turrets, that's why this doesn't work. If it used to work it was a "bug". I think exceptions should be made so power drain and shield transfer beams can hit docked entities. Docked entities do hit the mothership, just don't inflict damage, and that's what allows...

Considering that I do not support any predefined classes this would have to be something optional. Nobody can agree on a "universal" class scheme so if the devs were to force this on us most people would end up unhappy.

I have plans to test shield drain beams on turrets pointed at the mother-ship but I think it may cause more issues then it solves as I think this will force the ship to always be "under fire".

The Blueprint/Catalog system has room for descriptions, I'm not sure what this adds that we don't already have.

I mentioned this in a video I recorded but never actually uploaded... It works great for build blocks as those things are horrible at letting you exit where you entered (at least on planets)
