Meh. If I wanted to do that, I'd make a plexglass tube in a sector with a cool looking random background.

why would you want to do that?

I just had a thought. If this was implimented, you could throw people off by putting decoy weapon systems in your ship. Just the massive list of weapons the ship has would make it a pain to find the real system.

There's currently only one planet in the entire universe right now, in the 0 0 0 star system. That's probably why they seem so rare.

I'm pretty sure that was partially scrapped. You'll still have reduced standard speed, but not nearly as slow.

Manually activating a gravity module could override the standard gravity field, preventing this from being a problem. I'd love this, especially because it'd allow you to bind vehicles to a ship or station's gravity.

Ok, that's something I could possibly get behind.

Defensive stop makes you resistant to planetary gravity. No idea what you're talking about with this. I actually like the existence of linear damping from keeping my ships from flying off without waiting for them to hit unloaded sectors, which would be an especially big issue in servers with...

We're discussing it because we have a desire for multiple types of default skins. Thanks for having basic reading comprehension.

When was Dave declared to be a place holder skin? Default =/= Placeholder. And you know exactly why we're discussing it.

Ships already stop moving when they reach an unloaded sector.

Friction is, by default, part of the game. If you want to have your ship ignore friction, it should have to have some sort of block and energy cost beyond a single overdrive computer.

Half support. It should still require an active overdrive system and associated power and block costs. I think block costs of effects should all be halved, and power costs seriously nerfed. That's discussion for another thread, though. But it ties into why I think keeping the block and power...

I think the current, mass based system is fine. Block count needs to be halved, I would think.

Unless something has changed recently and I didn't read about it, overdrive triples damage for sextupled power consumption.

Burst doesn't really work for beams, does it? How about cannons get the burst effect, and beams get a more focuses "pencil shotgun" effect, where there is still slight spread over long range, but it's mainly a focuses array of multiple beams.

Sure. Factions are gonna need guns.

Ok, and then what happens when someone flattens out a section of the planet and the 360 gravity starts pulling on people and ships in weird ways? Fake elements are better. We don't have to deal with complaints about the usage of real life materials being unrealistic within the crafting system.

The crafting system makes it very expensive to build large ships. The loss of them is also a huge loss. In battle, they're more likely to lose large amounts of blocks (as they have more) as well as blocks lost from turrets, which increases the maintenance costs of a large ship. I think...

Why would anyone use non-bubble shields for ships with turrets, then?
