The bridge should always be armored. That's the one thing I always hated about Star Trek. The bridges were always sitting right on gravity-top of the ship (or in front, in the case of the Klingons). If you want a Star Trek-style bridge for a command room, you're gonna have to face the...

Hey, another simplification: Instead of having a complicated linking system with computers and chairs and stuff, what if: A player sitting in a chair (and only sitting in a chair) could activate a computer within their reach. They would still see from their from-chair (from-player-head) view...

I "mess around" with weapons, but usually resort to using smaller ships with forward AMCs, because I hate the look that having tons of turrets gives a ship. His suggestion (or mine, I guess) provides an alternative, which would look cool on extremely futuristic ships, as well as for an awesome...

This sounds unnecessarily complicated, and like a server-eating feature, compared to just having a larger texture pack as I suggested. If it was technically feasible, I'd LOVE it, though.

Exactly how I feel. Why the heck do people even want such large ships? Is their real-life... equipment... really that small, so that they must compensate with ships larger than your typical moon? Or are they just all from Texas? Or... ?

Third. There really only need to be 2 to 5 planets per system, and planets and systems need to be further apart... The result being less loaded (and rendered) entities, and less lag... right? I'd think that loading one (err, twelve, with the new dodecahedron planets) large entity (entities, now)...

I was about to suggest a block that shows your power or shield levels on its screen... which I thought this was going to be. I don't see the point in this, really; for shields it doesn't matter how they're grouped, and for energy blocks, IMO C-selecting the core should frame those, in turquoise...

Realistically, it would be impossible, or at least stupidly impractical, to build a spacecraft using biological components and magically glowing ice crystals, and it certainly isn't realistic for a spacecraft to have big, expansive rooms and decorative bits taking up mass, let alone borrowed...

...Those are the other reasons I didn't suggest server-client on-the-fly transfers... All of this is why I'm saying we should have multiple styles of everything (at least decorative blocks and hull) by default. Sorry that the point of my post wasn't clear.

I build huge biological-looking ships that have lots of glowing ice crystal as part of their hull... I'm hardly "so focused on realism"... I merely would rather have things remain within reason and practicality most of the time.

What are these changes you speak of, I wonder? Please tell me we're getting better-arranged solar systems... That would be amazing. :3

Yes, but unless mods can seamlessly transfer (upload/download) blocks through blueprints across different servers... No. Sure, we can make all the mods we want, but what's the use if only people with the pack installed will see them? The point is to have multiple styles to use in the game that...

...Which shouldn't happen in the first place. Good.

No. What we DO need is a sphere rendering overhaul... Right now they still render the "coins" from afar in the dev build, and the actual sphere is anywhere from slightly to completely transparent, depending on where you are. There also need to be clouds visible from the surface.

I'd like to see this kind of thing as well... Not to mention panels on wedges, more types of hull, red, blue, green, and orange force field blocks, sliding doors (For god's sakes, we shouldn't have to use freaking airlocks for front doors on buildings and internal doorways), colored glowing...

The one thing I dream of seeing, but will probably never build myself, is the Vulcan D'Kyr-class:

I should put in a request for one of my ships... They may be a bit small, but they sure have, err, curves in all of the right places.

Like Klingon bloodwine. But carbonated, and without the alcohol.

There should be multiple styles of sign in this game, just like there should be multiple styles of everything, from a rough wooden sign carved into driftwood, to an engraved metal plate, to a clean, futuristic glass plate with projected white lettering. You shouldn't have to change texture...

Very cute, you two. ...Anyway, I'm kinda sorta on the verge of just joining ToC, however the Aethi flag shall still fly over my ships...
