This is really silly... Forcing more ship specialization can be done purely with balancing and systems mechanics. Something artificial like this just stifles creativity and the creation of clever new variations of ship because building according to the "template" of the specialization block is...

Eh, sheets of ice crystal look fine when used properly. The only issue with the others is texture.

Building will never go away, and refining, even if it's fully automated and the mining drones just dump supplies in the refinery, will always be going on in the background...

This is Factionballs, no need to follow the same rules.

I think we're losing new players because there's just so much... stuff, and it's not all very intuitive. Rail switching is probably the worst among these, but things like power generation rank in the list as well.

Yeah... Personally, I want to be able to see where turrets and shuttles are docked, but not every single rail component on a ship... +1 to this idea.

And you believe that this is intended and will remain in the game why...? The devs have, on multiple occasions, said that there are plans being thrown around for an air/life support system. Having more survival aspects in the game is not 'copying Minecraft,' it's not like they were the first to...

But then planets end up tiny, and it brings up tons of other problems... I think we can just use the original suggestion, thank you very much. The first-person viewpoint has to be pulled up to eye level rather than neck level, though, but that won't fix scale issues on its own...

I kind of want to have a base out in the void above the disc of a ring galaxy now. Would look amazing, if galaxies got effects/models visible from far away, at least.

That's why: You can just give it an awesome thrust/mass ratio; sacrifice some shields or something, maybe throw in a little stop effect if it's planets you're worried about. Besides, planet salvaging has a lot of gameplay- and performance-wise issues and at the moment it should probably be...

@your last post: Yeah, I think you just listed everything that's actually wrong with this game, and they're all relatively minor things. Sure, massive AI empires, an expansive fauna system, NPC quests, a farming system, better astronaut gear, an oxygen system, better planets, etc. would be (and...

I think we need an EMP buff or rework mechanics-wise, then...

I definitely support this, my Lukrah paths need to be able to go up hills :< No more getting stuck at stairs like a retro Dalek! This would be good, but would require another pair of block shapes; IDK if that is possible at the moment. If it is, then I would definitely want it, though.

Crew is currently bugged beyond operability; this is the main issue at the moment. However the crew are generally useless anyway so I suppose it doesn't matter for the time being. I wanted to use them for decoration too, but nope. :\

I agree completely, regarding interiors. While I understand why the dev team is doing what they're doing, I still kind of wish they had created interior decor before going and creating some massive new fauna system for planets that most people don't even like in the first place. Especially since...

Hundreds isn't the point here, and is kind of meaningless... If you have the resources to create and dispose of hundreds and hundreds of small ships, you probably have the resources to make something pretty big too, and you probably already did - those little ships need a carrier.

Accepted as... miner, for now. I'll take care of the accidental war declaration once I can get on... Been a bit busy for the past few days.

Uh, not as far as I know, no, it would just be a regular station factioned to the Trading Guild. Just protect the entire sector and you'll be fine.

I suppose, but when servers try to make pirates OP because apparently pirates should be challenging enemies for established players (Not the way I feel it should go at all) it can be a bit hard to go from "blood and ashes, I just lost my blasted ship to pirates in three shots; what the hell!" to...

This command does not really work as you would expect; the invulnerability only persists as long as the sector is loaded. Unless that was fixed and I don't know about it.
