Correct - along with handheld flashlights, spotlights, and some other stuff.

I think boarding is difficult enough as it is, and there are enough overpowered and cheaty ways to stop astronauts, like firing a damage pulse.

PFFTHAAHHAHAHAAA!!! This is all correct. You can also put anti-personnel turrets on the exterior of the ship or anywhere else you have any space. Killing them is not impossible, but it is probably very difficult. You can also booby trap ships with damage pulse or anything else that suits...

Well, hopefully the need will not arise at least during the Alpha stages of the game when development is highly interesting and the community is greatly involved.

I think we need a magnetic lander again for boarding craft. You could latch onto the outside of a ship while astronauts inside work on cutting in.

"Slower" in my post isn't in reference to speed but to acceleration. My general idea is that you can't recharge anything (shield, power, weapon cooldowns) and that everything happens more slowly to minimize "emissions" (scifi reasoning - it's like submarines trying to be quiet). That's why jump...

If desired, blueprints could have a tag added that tells what build they were saved in. Servers could enable or disable the ability to upload blueprints from dev or pre-release versions. These freak-outs sound like newspaper headlines... Might need to add a warning and a "quiz" before allowing...

Here are my ideas based on what I've seen in the thread so far. The premise is that a cloaking device is something like a superconducting energy field that consumes little power unless disrupted. Weapons: Cooldowns freeze and you cannot fire while cloaked. Passive effects: Down while cloaked...

The HP update has greatly increased the correlation between mass of a ship and potential performance. If you're looking to make nice interiors, I suggest putting them mostly on the outsides of the ship as they will act somewhat like an extra layer of armor, protecting your guts against certain...

Pick a color, and all shapes of that color get replaced by the correct shape of another color.

Well, I wouldn't say it looks horrific, but it doesn't look like running.

At the moment, running appears to be a sped-up walk, and looks strange. With the new boarding tools it appears that Schema is focusing a bit more on astronaut content, so I think now would be a good time to fix this.

Options are good. The AI ramming mode should also be removable in server configs. None of this is valid. They would not be hard to code. It would be the same block minus two behaviors (explode on contact and explode when shot). This device would be usable in ways the current disintegrators are...

Ever heard of roleplay? How about pyromania? Ramming and then exploding? Please tell me you don't still buy the idea that boarding is impossible. Boarding's been possible ever since effects came out. Not to mention that it would be probably the most epic possible way to ragequit a bad server...

Regardless of features getting revoked or my own access to anything, I would like to have a change log of the dev builds because I am curious about the state of development. I am very strongly against any secrecy about or restricted access to these test builds. Hiding things does not help...

I think damage dealt should be block based rather than speed based. Since we're on the topic of disintegrators I'd also like to see a "stabilized" version that doesn't explode when it hits something or gets shot. You could use them as self-destruct mechanisms in things without fear of them...

That's still WAY too heavy for a block that literally does nothing. Looks like we'll be saying goodbye to advanced hull if this stays. No one will even use it because of its horrible weight to armor ratio.

Please elaborate or link a detailed change log.

:eek: Do YOU want to be the one to go around and jump in every ship core on the server to check mass and disintegrate the ones that are overweight? I don't. I don't think anyone should have to do that. I think there should be a configurable limit. Exceed the limit, and the ship cannot move until...

It's a wireless block sending out a wireless signal instead of ONLY a wired one. The result may or may be the same, but it's not really the same thing. Come to think of it, I'd really like to be able to link two wireless modules on the same entity together without those annoying rainbow lines...
