NO... no cables for everything. Weapons, perhaps, and MAYBE power and engines... but why in the world would you want cables taking up block space (and looking ugly) all over your doors, docking and whatnot?

Then put it somewhere else, there\'s nothing stopping you unless I missed something. Only the main core is unmoveable.

Nothing, I think, but considering that the economy should be more balanced, you won\'t see too many fleets of Dreadnaughts any more. If you do, then you\'re screwed... understandably. If a bunch of huge ships from an advanced and established star navy or marauding fleet come across the wimpy...

I just realized that if weapons arrays and other controlled devices that are a certain (short) distance from the weapons computer needed to be connected to the computer with Data Cables, it would really add to the epicness of a battle even more, and the need for crewmen and access hallways...

I think Concussion Cannons actually create their own transmitting medium somehow... Rather than just shooting a compression wave, which wouldn\'t work in space, they probably fire some sort of pulse of heavily-vibrating technobabblium that carries the vibrations over, or they create a...

Why would a microwave laser cause any more kinetic effects than a regular laser? Perhaps a Disruptor/Repulsor beam would do this though...

There IS currently no definition of a ship\'s health, aside from shields... I doubt that the game even adds up total damage points after shields.

This would actually be great, except for the fact that I really don\'t like the sound of weapons cores for some reason... and cables, though a really nice idea in principle, sound kind of annoying and complicated in practice for people who don\'t really want to have to think about all of that...

This would actually be great... Even if people exploited it for materials still, it would look less like breaking of immersion and more like a massive industrial fabricator/replicator...

Weapon and exhaust colors should be configurable (I personally would always make my docking beams blue, for instance, and my exhaust plasma and whatnot purplish blue) but I don\'t like the idea of custom sounds, that just seems a bit over the top. However, if we had a LOT of diffeernt weapon...

To semi-fix doomcubes, couldn\'t shields, weapons, and other utilities become FAR more powerful, but require ridiculous (and exponential) amounts of energy as they scale up to their current ridiculous \"endgame\" amounts? This way, a current doom cube wouldn\'t even be able to fire because of...

I\'d rather see more functional beams than all these millions of projectiles. We already have AMCs and three types of missile, I think that\'s enough of those aside from maybe the Railgun and Transphasic Torpedo... er, Phase Missile. The Nanite Missile isn\'t too bad either, but like any...

I got this too!

Hmmm, true. The fact that I didn\'t add docking was actually mostly because, with AI being currently unable to return to dock (or pathfind at all, for that matter) I wouldn\'t think to bother with adding that...

...but less versatile. I certainly hope for something of this sort eventually, though, however limited it is.

I actually vote no on this... but I believe that there should be some sort of \"trail block\" you can place that creates a little glow in front of it (depends on orientation) which casts a trail behind it, kind of like a colored missile. That said, engine exhaust visuals need (primarily coding)...

Why use the console to undock fighters? Either have someone in the core room to manage that stuff, slot the docks in your piloting quickbar (which would probably be done from the core menu) or have the core nearby... For some reason consoles for dock blocks sounds a bit overpowered. And the same...

That would work... Repair beams sound right. It would be a good reason to actually HAVE repair beams, which are currently kind of... slow and pointless.

Nerf unmultiplieed shields, as in make fighters worthless? If small default-dock-box fighter shields can\'t take a single beefy AMC hit if the fighters look decent, and hulls can barely handle the damage from a squirt gun, isn\'t that kind of counterproductive to both carriers and individuality...

I agree with all of this... it seems that everyone agrees that cores are too ridiculously centralized, and my topic was a pointless restatement of multiple suggestions already made and agreed upon (besides console blocks, which people don\'t like for some reason.)
