Nobody's going to like forced preset directions for smaller ship FTL... Huge natural wormholes between systems might make for a really nice fourth form of FTL, but I'd rather have a "Hyperjump" drive for smaller ships, that uses the same alternate dimension as capital-style hyperdrives but sets...

Agreed. Except then @starhaiden would suddenly get a pile more neutral ratings...

Dude. We get that mini-blocks would have a ton of awesome advantages. No more proof of that is needed. If it wasn't for obvious (and not-so-obvious) technical issues, we'd probably have them in the game by now, or at least in development.

Sorta, but since the locations of non-base stations aren't recorded on the Faction panel like the home base is, they would probably spend all night trying to locate your stations. :P ...However, making this practical would require the HP system to be extended to stations. Destroying them can be...

Just a random thought: Jump drives should really just be fixed-route hyperdrives. Plain-old teleportation is boring.

+1 for chairs. It seems that #2 has already been done with this latest update, and we got a (bonus) new weapon too. So... Once we have our engine and universe revamp, and FTL, it will be time to start adding interior elements and refining astronaut-side gameplay, which may include the addition...

Yeah... Sadly, even the massive, expansive weapons update didn't fix this.

It indeed doesn't make sense. If I remember correctly, Minecraft stores a LOT more data in its blocks, so things like that can happen without having to do strange things to their format.

This sounds good, but I think we need two speed limits: Thrust speed limit (After this speed thrusting in the same direction won't do anything but maintain your speed or slow you down. This is your %-of-server-speed-limit dictated by ship configuration) and the server limit (Fastest physically...

Agreed... By the way, though, the Pre-Build release channel will be public, at least to buyers. Makes sense. It also creates a non-intrusive incentive to actually buy the game, which is really needed IMO.

Understood/agreed completely. Even as someone who is designated as an official Bug Reporter (kind of a lower-ranked Tester who doesn't get test server admin powers or tester rights on the bug tracker, but who has access to the builds) I'm not looking forward to this change at all. While it will...

YAAAAYY FINALLYYYYYY :D ...Now when does this hit live branch? Do we have to wait for him to finish the FTL system and everything first?

Okay, he's not a disguised Aethi. If it was "Saravaana" (Pronounced possibly the same) I'd wonder a bit, even despite the lack of a secondary surname ("Kiim" being my own). :p (I once knew a Kienas Saravaana'dalsir...)

...Esarai? Sounds like an Aethi name, but to my knowledge there are no admirals by the name of Esarai in the Aethi Star Navy, nor were there any recently... except... no, that can't be right... never mind...

My feelings exactly.

You may want to cut down on the corners and maybe some of the tetras/pentas if you can, they light strangely. It's a lot better than the blocky version, though. And no, I don't think it'll take until ~2573... Good luck though. : P

For an optimal system have the same number of push modules and cannon barrels. You still get 0 damage, but a lot more force.

I had similar issues... Not as completely and totally terrible, but similar. Massive lag, random downtimes with EOFs every time I try to connect for 24 hours or so, then lots of random lag. Seems a bit better now, though I'm getting some odd graphics lag, but that's presumably clientside since...

Personally, I've died of... Soon(TM). Lua? Soon(TM). Finished NPCs? Soon(TM). Mines? Soon(TM). Integrated particle system? Supposedly soon, but I have my doubts. Universe updates? Maybe in a month. (But that's what we said about the weapons update, and you know how that turned out. Took about 4...

I sort of agree with these. Except for the blueprint thing. What we need is a shipyard with its own inventory, where you can slowly accumulate blocks, by buying or crafting or whatever, and put them in the shipyard inventory as it constructs the ship. Currently, an inventory can't hold all of...
