6. Having an actual throttle control would be helpful for maneuvering fighters inside of a hanger bay or whenever you need precise control of the ship. 7. The gyroscope would be nice to have. I would also like a way to see the relative speed and heading between my ship and whatever is currently...

Disabling the shield hit effect is fine, but ignoring the shields is a bad idea. We already have torches and warheads that can do that.

Just giving the shipyard the ability to remotely control factories to produce materials you don't already have in storage would be very convenient.

I like it, it reminds me of a simple PLD chip. It seems like a good solution to fit logic in a small space without needing programmable computers. The blueprint functionality would be very handy, since I often need multiple copies of the same circuit in different locations. The multiple...

That sounds like a good idea. Of course it could be expanded to crafting other items such as armor, space suits, shields, and jetpacks. Maybe even some portable LOD turrets to fend off hostile creatures once they are added to the game.

I would like to see the break away mechanic actually usable since it's been in the game so long. The broken segments should be non physical long enough to get clear of the ship. They also need to decay after a few minutes to prevent unnecessary junk. They should stay around long enough that you...

I don't really like the idea of the object suddenly just disappearing when salvaging. It's about as bad as spawning ships in thin air. I would rather have the salvager output a cone instead of beams and mine everything within it. That would avoid the need for an ugly waffle array. There needs to...

A hover block could still be useful. It could make a ship hover a fixed number of blocks above the ground. It would be cool for making ground vehicles. Using the stop effect completely ignores gravity rather than hovering.

It it's supposed to be a condensed logic block, why not use a hardware description language like Verilog or VHDL? That would make it work like an FPGA in real life.

That would be quite useful. It should work the same with storage and factories too, such as when you have a bunch of factories that all need to pull from the same storage. Maybe the keys could be setup so that Shift+C allows you to select more than one block then pressing V connects all of the...

Blueprints could be given the mass of all the blocks they contain. That would allow you to spawn small ships, but larger ones would be too heavy to fit in your inventory. That way you could still carry a small shuttle or escape pod, but have to use the shipyard for anything bigger.

Even just having them show up red, green, or blue like the radar indicators would be a big help. The most annoying thing right now is not being able to identify enemy stations by the map icon. The ability to pick a faction color could be a problem with a lot of factions on a server. There is not...

I like the shipyards, but I wish the bugs would be fixed. I find them a lot easier to use when building big stuff. You don't need to worry about having all the materials required when designing. Then when you are ready to build, everything gets pulled from your storage system and factories...

Often times when I spawn a ship core on a planet, it glitches through and gets stuck in the core. I wouldn't suggest leaving undocked ships sitting on the planet though. It causes a lot of lag, even with a relatively small ship. You can use 100% stop effect if you want to land on a planet, but...

Do you have to discover both warp gates for it to show up or just one of them?

One of the most annoying popups is the one you get when you open an inventory. They end up on top of the window for the inventory, then you have to wait for them to go away before you can access any items they covered.

There are currently 1183 block types in the game with a maximum of 2048. 213 of those are for the slabs we already have. Adding all of these wedge types would use a significant amount of them. I would still like to see the first type of slab wedge that was suggested, but adding the ones with...

If you are going to include the marker beam with the suit, it needs to be able to store multiple gates. Preferably with the ability to name each one.

Yes, the sensor block would work for that, but it requires multiple blocks and a continuously running clock.

I would like for jump drives to be easier to control with logic and not need laggy rail clocks to recharge. I suggest making the jump drive charge for one second on each high input. This would allow for continuous recharging with a simple clock. I also want to be able to recharge it without...
