      Multi-coloured Light Block

      Open-Source outputs? :D Binary is not bad for all blocks. For example it allows you to use 4+byte to count the number of active inputs for AND/OR and compare it with the number of total instead of counting each manually each time. With 1-byte logic, you would have to build a binary-tree (output...

      Cool things that could be made with rails

      I don't like the capital turret too much, because of the hull-placement. But your fighter looks interesting. How did you distribute shields between ship/turret? Perhaps (you gave me the idea) you can build a turret completely surrounding the ship, using area triggers or alike to provide vision...

      LCARS GUI

      It looks better :) But these images only show "round borders" not round elements. Let me give you a few hints in form of images: More examples: http://wallpaperswa.com/Space/Stars/computers_star_trek_control_lcars_starship_1600x900_wallpaper_10621/download_1600x900...

      Discussing: The big problem of STV systems

      I would like to know the result differences between min=3 and current system. Perhaps it is possible to get the voting script to show how the results would look like if only the first 3 would count.

      Cool things that could be made with rails

      Perhaps collision damage will now be usable as a weapon. It is time to give some blocks extra-armour not only vs explosion, but also kinetic damage.

      The council propaganda thread

      Tomino, Dalmont, Keptick These three, but I am not sure about others. Perhaps the RP peoples may vote for Crimson-Artist or peoples which are known to make good looking stuff too. Edit: Lidren I meant not BECAUSE of it, but because they know these peoples and it is more likely that somebody...

      Jump drive charged at warp initiation

      Perhaps because schema wants us to be able to do something else while charging the warp-drive (except using weapons) like flying to a warp-gate or one sector while charging FTL. I still think it should be on/off-able with on = draining power + gain charge and off = losing charge. It should...

      Multi-coloured Light Block

      Multipliers will become very big logic-chunks. You basically need to add A to R for each bit in B ((A, B = input, R = result)) If you want a very fast multiplier, you need 1 adder per 1+1 bits + 1 adder per 2+2 bits + 1 adder per 4+4 bits ... And some logic to optimize the adders inter-linking...

      Cool things that could be made with rails

      You don't even need to slave a nearby rail block if it is the only one nearby.

      Advanced Build Mode: Drag Select Feature

      Just (not replace sliders but) add x2, x4, x8, x16 shortcut links. I have a suggestion about this: 1 click to change all 3 dimensions. Box aligns to xyz%2,4,8,16 instead of xyz%2 (% is the modulo operator in Java). This alone would help a lot not only while salvaging.

      Let a ship's navigation menu trigger logic.

      A very good idea.

      this reminds me about Voyager+Enterprise phasers... StarTrekies will love it for sure :D

      No bubble planets please

      Sun-Planets :DXD I see problems with Saturn : we don't have asteroid-rings and the tex may be misleading.

      A question about upcoming shipyards

      Just limit the number of active drones to one per factory. Make the drones like abandoned stations - when you kill the core or AI, it's dead and you can't get any scrap. Also require scrap materials for these (and a little bit of fuel built out of some currently rather useless capsules) to NOT...

      When Rails Drop

      Use push effect. Make the wheels grab some block somewhere ("throw" chains and retract the chain with rail rotators).

      Do you NOT have Visual Enhancers in your contact lenses?

      Power - Turret power issues and ship recharge issues

      Perhaps you can circumvent this feature by docking the turret on a ship which is docked on your ship? If it then draws power from this ship instead of your main ship, problem solved (ugly, but it may get it done) - I am too lazy to test it right now as I prefer smaller turrets and separate...

      Jump drive charged at warp initiation

      I vote for a "on/off toggle" just like a gate. While not active, it loses charge. While active, it converts power into charge (and it loses some over time based on base regeneration or block count?). On Power-Shortage, it deactivates. (thus starts losing charge) It jumps if it is triggered by...

      Kupu's thread

      aka customBlockConfig/BlockConfigImport.xml ? BTW: It is ridiculous to edit even such a simple thing as block-groups consistently... Even with copy+paste and "blockConfig.xml > grep '<Block '" it is hilarious to find what you need within 32 thousands of lines! Even Cubatom stuff is still there...
