Who says the missiles are chemically powered? They could use ion engines, which would account for their stupid slow speed.

Exactly. The build blocks are powerful, yes, but they are extremely beneficial to building.

I really dont understand people's issues with the build block. It is flipping useful as shit when working on big ships or even planets. Sure someone COULD abuse it by farming an entire planet, but as mentioned, the speed of a build block can be matched or near matched by a medium sized salvage...

I just want a way to have a fluid "attack my target" and a way ti easily disengage the target. As it is now, you cant stop them unless you cycle control through them. Control do need be be better, but we dont need fancy controls like you are suggesting. The current work well enough, but need...

So you want them to work on the game AND evaluate peoples mods? No. Let them make the game and only the game. Leave the modding for the future when there is a solid game to actually mod.

It may be a chore to restock, but perhaps to mitigate the need to restock ALL the time would be to make ammo in large batches, IE basic projectiles come in stacks of 100 for X amount of resources.

I like it. This kind of mechanic can lead to maybe adding in actual ship yards and being able to control them as a whole. I say yes to the idea, but I will add that i could use some more fleshing out.

i think i understand.... maybe. Ill take you on your word of its necessity.

Exactly. Now for getting salvage cannons to put things in chests...

Rain guns use both power and ammo. They do need to charge up, but they hold that charge until fired, ideally in their own capacitors independent from the main power systems of the ship, so even if your ship power levels are low, if the guns are fully charged, they can still get s shot off. They...

Frame skipped?

I would much rather they remove enhancers all together and go with "If it fits, it sits". Some sort of mass limitations rather then any sort of box.

I like that set-up.

These are just features I would like, how they get implemented is up in the air. Snapping to neirest axis is a good idea, I can settle for that.

But this game is replicating space, to an extent, and the ability to manipulate our orientation is still important. I'm not calling for realism, I'm calling for being able to control what we have. I know humans are not perfect, but that doesn't negate my desire to level out and have control on...

From my experience, Galactic North is always along the positive X axis regardless of system. Screen space is limited, or not even required. The functions can be kept on a toggleable interface, or only mentioned in the controls menu. using the Ctrl mode to rotate is not percise, and not being...

I was trying to illustrate why being able to orient your logical view of space is important, but I guess that was lost. At the very least, an artificial Horizon is needed. The rest, sure its not absolutely needed, but since the mechanic of snaping to an axis, in this case "Galactic North" when...

That doesn't negate the need for such features. Sure space doesn't have a defined up or down, but humans do. Even NASA uses artifical horizons to align themselves when docking. The game needs some way to control orientation. Space not having an up or down doesnt negate the need for a logical up...

Reposting this from the old site. I still think this is very important to consider implimenting. NOTE: These are just ideas for features. How they are actually implemented is entirely open to discussion, and in no way reflect a final concept. Space is very disorienting. This is a simple fact...

Few actually have pictures anyway so I just use google to find inspiration. Its not a \"necessary\" addition, only better moderation of uploads.
