AI that actually trades with player shops, spawned factories setup to generate various goods that create demand that the trade guild ferries between stations. For example, a processing station buys ores and crystals. It generates capsules and grids and sells them. The trade guild has ships...

I would like some more AI cargo transfers and economic systems in place. Think of something like X3/Limit Theory. When you place your BP in your shipyard a demand is made for those parts and the trade guild ships start delivering items from nearby shops on demand. I'd also like to see them...

I once had a wormhole in the spawn sector... that makes things fun.

You can currently get to those under the Structure Tab. (Inventory screen). It's not totally convenient, but it's there. Not sure if it lets you enter them, but you can activate AI and undock ships from there.

Hmm... I did not know that. I did notice the new isanths have a storage block ... never put much thought in it, but does the storage block contain the items that get dropped? Could you potentially cheat and create a "treasure ship" with a lot of storage that the pirates could spawn in?

Was just going to ask. I'd like to know how that was done.

It's quite complicated though. Return to dock needs to know if there is a door in the way. Not all docks are exposed to the outside of a ship. What if you have a docking bay inside your ship and there's only a door in the back of the ship to enter/exit? What if another AI is trying to exit...

Those are not default loot values... I've never seen a loot cloud like that.

Until there's an easy way to repair damage to my ship, I'm going to continue overloading shields and not letting damage happen to my ships so I rarely use expensive armors unless they look right for the situation. This also means that I'm not building small ships because I need a lot of shield...

Ah... I should have checked the bug site... thanks!

So, I'm trying to create a mining ship that automatically moves forward when there's nothing left to mine. It should be an easy task, but I can't seem to reproduce the effect of the OR block sitting next to a storage block to detect when items exist in the storage as noted in Bench's YouTube...

What? I still use box like structures for my energy production and it works just fine... Retired when?

I'm 37 ... I don't have time for monotony.

I just want to add. I don't play competitive multiplayer games because EVERY game that promotes competition between players becomes a numbers game. I don't know one game that's not stupid simple in mechanics that is not analyzed and exploited by the competitive players.

Quality of life sir/maam. Having to flip between two different screens or write down values on a tablet is both tedious and annoying. Adding a button that calculates values is a reasonable suggestion.

You can "technically" do this now by building a square of those unused blocks on a decreped (or whatever they are called) station and removing it. You get the scrap blocks you can them use to create other blocks with. Just make sure you don't remove the station and you have a constant source...

It's cool that we have blueprints, but I'd still like to see some way for the blueprint to persist. I don't know how many times I've scanned around my ships trying to find what is damaged to repair it. It would be nice to be able to compare a blueprint with the existing ship to see what needs...

I was just reading through another thread on blueprint changes and thought came to mind that isn't fully formed but I wanted to throw it out and see what the community thought. If we are moving to a system where blueprints are bought with parts or money, I figured we could possibly go a...

People will compare things to a more popular. Its a way to related things. "Target, It's like a brighter Wal-Mart". It doesn't matter who came first or if Wal-Mart invented retail shops... It's a matter of familiarity.

Yes, you can do it with more blocks, but sometimes it would be nice just to drop one block and have it pulse a signal on, then off. I'm all for a momentary switch. You could even use it as a pulse shortener if you activate it from something else (like area activators)
