I feel like I'm the only one who enjoys a good melee weapon in my space ship game. Anyway, for pulse, I'd rather not see it done away with. It needs some serious reworking, but I'd rather not see it dumped for something, that, while cool, has its role already pretty much covered by missiles. I...

As a fan of Starbound, I think a Floran-like faction would be very cool. Broods aren't really fitting for plants, though.

This'll be especially relevant if the community gets really big. We've got 30,000~ registered users (most of which are not frequently active, but still). Imagine how many applicants we'd be getting with a 100,000 member community, or even more.

Ah, not playing default config. Sorry to hear that. Players should really respawn with astronaut tools and a core on Drop Inventory On Death.

I'm pretty sure this is planned to be part of the DOCKING update, which will include the rail system, said turret system, and being able to signify which direction things should dock on a docking module.

It'd require 5% of your total mass to become immune, though. Who's going to use 5% of their mass for a Stop Drive when they could put in more shielding, weapons, or another less situational effect, like Ion? Only specifically designed ships would have immunity to a wormhole.

Isn't that a feature of one weapon from Fractured Space? Anyway, with current shotgun spread, no. It'd be worthless regardless. It would definitely be useful with a more accurate spread, though... maybe a bit TOO useful.

First things first, I feel the need to point this out every time I see someone suggest it. I don't blame you for not noticing because they're very rare, but... binary star systems already exist. Ok, now that that's out of the way... this seems like a good way to do it, but you'd need to have...

It'd have been somebody on oldsite, probably years ago.

Power supply gun? What'd he do, throw his out? You should always carry your astronaut tools with you at all times.

This would be highly useful. Support.

Sure, for solo ships, maybe. No one who plays with a faction uses heakseekers due to friendly fire, and they are frequently unreliable. If there's anything else in the sector, you're pretty much guaranteed significantly less DPS because half your missiles will try and take out that rouge...

Personally, I prefer the current system, which is that you pay FP for controlling systems instead of the other way around. After all, couldn't you spend an hour with a fast charge jump drive to get two or three galaxies away, claim a massive number of systems, and then never worry about FP ever...

How would people get to your ship without getting shot up, though? I suppose you could with a cloaker + jammer, but once we get logic powered scanners, that'll be trivial.

I think it shouldn't make you fully immune, but it should be enough that you can escape with ease.

It could probably be made that salvage beams keep the old shotgun spread, while cannons and beams get the new one. And yes, more spray patterns would be sweet.

Yeah, for some PD turrets I'll have both a Cannon/Cannon and a Cannon/Missile on board. But, wouldn't being more accurate while still having a decent spread make it even better for point defense? Also, think about Beams. They don't benefit at all from high spread, because you can't even use...

The shotgun NEEDS improved accuracy if it's going to be of any use. However, you have convinced me that it could also use a nice damage boost as well.

I'd prefer longer range to buffed damage. The "big punch" from a shotgun is mainly the block destruction it can cause, but its spread is so ridiculous that shotguns might as well be a melee weapon like pulse.
