Having an occupied indicator would be so you don't try and get in one that is in use, and have that annoying message pop up. Currently they are not, but they should be! This is an even better idea than an occupied light. Just make them multi-user!

Just a quick GIMP mockup.

So I could jump six meters high on both Mercury and Jupiter, but go up really fast on the Mercury and down really fast on Jupiter? My brain hurts...:confused:

Yes please! This is such a tedious process. Just add a "Buy All" button at the top, and a "Buy" button next to each item that only enable when in shop range. Also, the provided and goal columns could be better. I would prefer it to be "Have" and "Need", where the Need column does the math for...

How is a "thruster enhancer" different from the Thruster Panel, that let's you tune thruster power for both direction and rotation? Perhaps you're wanting another Overdrive system that works for acceleration instead of top speed. A Supercharger Computer might be an apt name, but I would imagine...

I know! We should delete the reactors when they become undocked! Or, we could disable collision checks on them for a few seconds! Or, what about having them stayed docked, but not function! Also, having multiple redundant docking points might be a solution! Personally, I think teleporting the...

One problem with no collisions for a few seconds is that it could add to the problem. I can imagine a turret being blown off, and floating away from the ship, and INTO another ship(or asteroid/planet/etc). Then collisions come back on and it's the same problem. Perhaps the docked entity could...

With the size of the current planets, I think orbital jumps should be possible!:p

It sounds like the problem is lack of available resources, not difficultly traveling. The real problem, for me, comes back to the tiny scale of planets and asteroids, and thus, the scarcity of local resources. Scaling planets and asteroids up in their current state isn't really an option, but...

Sorry, I assumed you would still have your suit, with its ability to create a basic factory. I wouldn't want to start off wearing a loin cloth and somehow crafting a rifle with nothing but sticks and rocks...:p

What about assigning a skybox to 5x5x5 sector blocks, with a one sector overlap between each in which a cross-fade transition occurs? This would of course require having up to 8 skyboxes loaded at once for corner cases. Also, if we're to believe we are actually traveling into/through/out of...

This is only because of the ridiculously small scale of the current planets. Your current 800 m titan flagship would be a speck next to a single Earth-sized planet with a 6000 km radius. Even several large factions would have trouble consuming it. Of course, then the sector size would have to be...

I don't see why you couldn't feasibly crafts personal weapons and tools, when you're already crafting anti-matter cannons and transporters.

Are you referring to the wormholes? Perhaps we should call it spherical gravity on planets. If the player was constantly aligned to the planet's spherical gravity, then the planet plates could just be bulged in the centers making the whole planet more spherical. When the player is being pulled...

How are the origins of stations and asteroids handled? Does it really matter if an object's origin starts at Ship Core, rather than just the first block placed(like stations)? The placement of the core relative to the chunks of the ship seems fairly arbitrary, given I can build my ship out from...

Why not ask a new player if they would like to spawn on a random space station or planet? Whichever they choose will initialize their respawn point to that location.

I don't think we need a flashlight item in build mode. The lighten feature just needs to be fixed so it doesn't burn your eyes out.

Well, if you didn't have a new install, your config was most likely merged with the new keys, like mine was. I also had Z rolling and changing ship mode, but Q/E was still down/up. I had to just rebind the keys, setting build mode back to NUMPADENTER where I like it.

Having several large scale shipyards and the requisite resources to keep them all churning out ships means that faction has reached a level where they don't really have to worry about resources. They're now one of those Evil Corporations that throws away more advanced armor than you'll ever see...

I've always felt that salvaging a ship shouldn't give you 100% return. I would like to see this change to salvaging irrespective of any shipyard manufacturing bonuses. Perhaps, a 10-20% chance of a block becoming scrap when salvaged with a ship, and 5% chance of scrap when salvaged with Shipyard.
