      Thrust-impairing weapon mechanics

      Something people involved in faction PvP may have noticed , is that there is no way to commit the enemy to an engagement - players can match speeds , but are free to move all over the place (including their home base or yours) while doing so.

      Cloak/jammer and hulls

      Due to the current mechanic of cloaks and radar jammers draining more power with every block added to your ship , functional stealth ships tend to be minimalistic and also rather ugly. To alleviate this , normal hull blocks should not require any extra power to conceal. This would also give...
