Exactly what I was thinking. MacThule, are you wanting something that can operate outside the limits of a sector? The wireless logic block would provide you exactly what you want within the same sector.

Yeah, I remember making this suggestion a while back. This would be cool to. I personally would prefer the entities detach, but if it prevents the clipping issues Zyrr's suggestion would be fine with me.

Nice Lecic! :-) I see you've pulled together a whole bunch of ideas people have posted here into a nice logical suggestion. Especially the "Elite" game like limitations on ships where they require a pilot and if larger additional crew. This would solve the over population of crew. Perhaps make...

Hmm... this would give me something to do when I'm bored with my own stuff. I'm going to start building random stuff on planets and drop things off for fun now. ;-)

Working factories would be useful. Perhaps simple bases with various systems. Perhaps have them all with no power.

Hi schema and Schine, Just reading the thread "AI Learning Curve" by Dearthx about his idea for AI learning curve. AI Learning Curve It reminded me of something I've always wanted to do with online games and that's have an AI that plays as a player. Then I thought, this could be useful for...

Awesome update schema! :-)

Nice work! Do you think you could make wedges, tetras and heptas? ;)

Your quest ideas immediately sparked in my mind the scene where Luke and Obiwan went to the canteena to book a ride and Han Solo brokering a deal. Would be cool to have Han Solo type NPC's and also be Han Solo for NPC's looking for a ride or transport for goods. :-)

Being able to configure presets would speed up single player abilities without the need for NPC crews. Then have these presets operable from the hotbar or similar command console. Example, for me thrust would only need 4 configuration profiles and even then I would probably only use 2 or 3...

My old idea for a universal computer could possibly accomodate this, but I suspect it's probably a Dev nightmare. Universal Computer Block

I've used rail pickup's to sort out disconnecting rails in certain instances similar to this. Sadly, this doesn't work for turret axis, but would be awesome if it did. OMG, it sure helps when you have doors clipping and lagging you out inside the ship.

Ooh, new advanced build tools. Can't wait. :-)

I could see it useful for structures with no shields like planets, asteroids and potential moons. Logically, if this were a real technology, I would expect military organisations to use it. This would include the old frowned upon docked reactors.

Me to. I would also like a in-flight control system where I can group and dynamically reconfigure the turrets for new tasks. This would allow for using PD Missile turrets as assault turrets when there are no missiles involved or your main turrets are dead/gone. Or the opposite, when all you PD...

Could we use the structure menu and employ a firing arc grouping as we do with groupings turrets? Perhaps allow us to group the turrets here or elsewhere to then provide a grouping mechanism for not only configuration, but firing control and targeting specifics. I would expect this as a given...

Seems to me this is a pretty nice exploit in itself. I did not know this and will now alter my building style to accommodate it. Thanks alterintel :-) Mass inheritance from the docked entity should be occuring by default. I think forcing the undocking in order to change it would suffice...

I think you've brought together in a nice list ideas mentioned before by others in conversation. An alternative to multiple blocks is, to allow the docker to be controlled in a similar way we control our Bobby AI. Give the docker a menu of these and possible other options to set the docker up...

There is already rotational control for the rotators, so I wonder if this could be applied to the turret axis.

Oh by the way, I use plex doors a lot in my rail circuits to trigger activities at different points. You could do the same with a turbo lift. In fact I think I will. :-)
