Mining isn't like combat. If you want mining to require more skill, knock the asteroids away and try and hit a moving target.

If you're playing single player, you can just spawn in items with commands if you're playing just to build and not for survival.

Newbs can mine their own home system in the beginning.

Yes to two and three, no to one.

The game is migrating to an HP system, where the core is no longer the be-all end-all of destroying a ship. Specifics aren't known yet, but we do know that.

That could exist separately from this, while this still exists.

Well, you can have all your computers right next to eachother and having them all get wiped out by a handful of shots, or you scatter them around so they take much longer to target and destroy.

Maybe I should rephrase how the heat resistant armor blocks work- they function as a shadow entity slightly in front, that, while completely invisible, blocks sunlight like how you can hide behind an asteroid to stop sun damage. I know it doesn't make much IRL sense, but it's a balancing...

Yes, you could, theoretically, build a base inside of a star. To counter that, let's say that stars deal heat damage based on the mass of the thing they are hitting, so regardless of ship size, you'd need about the same percent of the ship to be heat sinks and cooling units to survive...

It's a good idea, but that's way too much stuff. New players definitely need more stuff at the beginning, but this is like a lot of stuff.

It's per-entity, like sun damage currently is. Also, you can still have shielding with it. Not sure why you think it wouldn't work if it was per-entity? If a block of heat armor gets hit, it reduces the total heat damage that the ship takes.

Temperature Control, Heat Shields, and Heat Armor are three new systems. Temperature Control Passive Reduces damage from sources of heat, such as the sun, heat inducing weapons (more on that later), and lava, which now deals heat damage while in contact with ships. Max at 75% efficiency...

Ok, you look like you're new here, so I'm going to cut you some slack. Ship cores are getting phased out for a new HP system, so this idea is very unlikely to be implemented. We're also getting improvements to the sitting system at some point so we can make "control chairs" and such.

It's not that it's hard. It's just a complete waste of time and resources, and I don't see a need for it. Lights shouldn't need power. They're a decorative.

I've seen a few bipedal mechs built by a guy on youtube named Spetzy.

Then you still wouldn't be able to use lights on planets without power. ZERO power is the same as running out of power.

God, no. You wouldn't be able to explore caves using just a small stack of light rods and your wits. You'd need to go through the hassle of pointlessly slamming down some power modules first. Now, what I would like to do is be able to make logic output when various systems are at different...

It's planned that when things undock and clip into the ship they are docked to, they'll stop colliding with the ship until they phase through it.

How would you make them part of the parent entity AND still move? They can't be part of the main ship's block grid and still rotate.

More sound stuff is in the works. There's already quite a few unused sounds in the files. Crimson-Artist uses the unused sound effects for special effects in his videos sometimes, I believe.
