I agree. Thing is, we haven't really gotten to the point of adding to existing systems yet; it seems Schine is still filling things in and adding new systems mostly. Weapons, of course, got a major patch a while ago, but even in their current state they're kind of a framework to extend later...

I would assume that an AI revamp would come along with the addition of fauna, but you never know... I do agree that some things would have been more important than the implementation of fauna, at the moment, but the art team's been apparently working on this stuff for a long time so just because...

Turrets mess with the balance between large ships and small ships (They negate the turnrate difference that would otherwise stop large ships from hitting smaller ships usually) so some balances have been put in place... If you don't like it you can change the configuration for your singleplayer...

This is being made a lot more complicated than it needs to be. As I see it, Schema can just add a hotkey or advanced building button, where you click it, right click the start position, right click the end position, and it makes a diagonal line for you, easy as that. Not a build helper, those...

No, they would not be a fool, stylistically different ships demand different types of engines. But the thing is, the problem he speaks of is already nonexistent since all people would have to do is make sure there was something directly behind their blocks of thrusters.

Yeah... Contrary to its name, the Trello does not seem to be a roadmap, just a partial list of features to be implemented whenever... An actual roadmap would show things by priority or by planed release order.

There is already a mechanic in place to fix this... Currently thrusters will not render a plume if a block is adjacent to their rear face.

Doesn't mean you have ships, either. Operating from the dark is great, until it's so dark that people doubt you exist when it'd be more convenient for you to be known.

Warp grenades sound hilarious, terrifying, brilliant, and stupid all at once. In any case, in a block game with finite resources it's generally a bad idea.

...Oh. That makes more sense, but then they will probably not be used much. Despite the HP update making armor meaningful, in practice individual blocks tend to die a lot still, even if they DO soak up more damage...

A ship would need to be linked to a design for this to work, leading to essentially having two versions of a ship in memory, the completed (blueprint/design) ship and the "real" ship. IDK how well this would work.

Overpowered. Who needs weapons when you can just fly up to someone with Overdrive effect, punch in a jump, and kill someone's ship, taking a bunch of blocks with you?

I've reminded Lancake about the first part. Second part, no idea, that's up to Schema to implement or not.

Dalmont, I think you just one-upped us all.

YES. This is good. I want this.

Thankfully, the way my cruiser's front window works they could safely be cleared off with a pulse. The other ships might need wipers, though :\

Yeah, that'd be funny. They could also flop off the asteroid, swarm all over your hull and annoy you...

Soooo you haven't looked at the fleet section of the original post? Or anything? Because... the entire fleet is kind of organic, in case you didn't notice... (FFS, the Velkaaras-class looks kind of like a skate's egg case.)

Also got a screenshot of the now-wedged Velkaaras:

Quad body, six smaller, longer space whale fins along its sides. Swims around in asteroid fields. Is really cheap to make, seeing as it is a combination of existing geometry. Looks cool. The Turtlebug. Make it happen. :P
