The main advantage here is capital vs capital fights don't take forever, while fights between fighters aren't over instantly. Even an attack from another smaller ship takes proportionally more damage away from a fighter.

For splitting your ship up I don't really know. I'd guess you have the advantage that if a section gets destroyed your ship doesn't suffer a penalty, but the "main" section of the ship would be quite fragile since it isn't getting any HP from the other segments. Would be an interesting ship to...

Honestly, I think replacing blocks should cost the blocks themselves. It would still be better then we have now, I don't think I've ever manually repaired a ship since very early on, it's always just scrap it and get a new one.

After playing around with a few different sizes of ships I gotta say the debuff system seems to be more appropriate the bigger your ship is. On smaller ships it's not really noticeable, compared to power reactor lines breaking or your computers being destroyed, but on a ship where you have...

The attacker is only over powered for now, once the AI is at the point where we can tell a ship to guard a sector defenders have basically won.

They were taken out when the new stations came in I believe (I imagine the spawning and pathfinding mechanics on user generated objects wasn't worked out fully, but that's pure conjecture on my part), but we're getting procedurally generated aliens relatively soon.

I double checked before posting, everything is for sale.

In the release thread for the HP update Schema did mention that AI will eventually aim at systems.

A way to solve that would be an easy method to toggle AI on and off, so when you stow it the turret switches off, with the range of motion it would have while deployed saved.

Honestly, a lot of old ships work just fine for me. Other than missile-fighters nothing has really taken a hit performance wise that I've tried.

For computer functionality something I would love is a way to activate the AI/faction module on anything in the docking chain of the entity you're in during build mode, but that's a different topic really.

You can buy them from the shop, for grossly inflated prices.

If not at shops I definitely want this as a shipyard feature. Drone racks are cool and all, but getting them set up can be a pain.

True, I was suggesting a fix for one specific problem. As it stands right now, boarding isn't really practical.

I have a solution to that. Let Astronauts choose their alignment angle. I kind of wish we had that feature already.

If the time frame before destruction were tighter you'd need a pretty hefty salvager to be able to pull that off. And salvaging a non-overheating ship is impossible, so stealing an intact ship is only possible through boarding. Salvage beams also can't pick up cargo or loot clouds. And as for...

It adds a bit of immersion, as your ship begins to take damage its performance gets worse all round. And I wouldn't say boarding is a gimmick. Incomplete, but that's too be expected. Something I would recommend is speeding up the self destruct sequence, forcing players to disable (or head on...

Honestly, the debuff is slight enough that it doesn't feel crippling, while still having a bit of a presence. I'm not especially fussed by it either way, but it's not really a bother. My disappearing weapon computers on some of my ships on the other hand is a much bigger penalty :P

Smaller ships seem to benefit from the recent overhaul in the survivability department more than you would think. Advanced armour eats hits pretty well, and do their small size their armour is pretty much always going to get hit, giving you the armour bonus. They're not going to be tanking...
