Good point; guns could always just disappear rather than blowing up.

...That's why you might want to leave armor or space around your massive (say, power tank) systems, and put them in the center of the ship... That way, they can take out all the non-essential systems and little shield pockets they want, but it won't do much damage to larger, important parts...

*sigh* Amount of connected hull should increase each hull block's HP... Capital ship armor should be able to take a lot more damage than shuttle armor, even if they're the same thickness. It just looks so much better, and is much, much simpler than all of the other suggestions for buffing hull.

What if: Systems got HP, and would explode and disappear if their HP went to 0. (The more blocks in a system, the more HP, but the larger the explosion for obvious reasons) Players' diamonds wouldn't be visible if there are ship blocks between you and them. That way, people would be more...

Yes, mostly because controlling a ship from what is apparently a computer core that doesn't even have a monitor makes no sense. Backup systems would actually be a decent idea, but I guess it kills the ship because it's the only computer core. However, shooting a computer core shouldn't blow up...

...Octopi? What is the meaning of this?

I agree, but not because it's a repeat suggestion. Only because the devs have definitively stated that some form or forms of FTL travel will be implemented. (Hopefully, but sadly probably not, warp drive.)

The core still remains as the way of starting construction of a ship, and as a first build block if you don't have space for a separate one. It could also serve as an access point for the Structure Menu (which could also be done using a Structure Control Panel block or a Master Computer if you...

The ship (or piece thereof) remains docked but stops building/repairing.

1, I edited the splitting-up-turrets idea out, and 2, that was just an idea for something cool you could do with my system; having a double-stacked-turret wouldn't actually be necessary.

If it's just a core or something that lands in it, it'll get warped out. If it gets shot, it halts building for a while. If you shoot the ship enough, it overloads the shipyard's structural integrity distribution transmitters and the shipyard is completely disabled until someone comes along and...

Yeah... same here >.>

It would just build from the bottom up by layer, I guess... And decorative spikes are fine as long as they don't cause the ship to exceed the mass limit or clip into any decorative bits on the station or anything, otherwise the ship will stop bulding unless the blockage is removed or more...

...The building-dock uses enhancers, like our current docking (and turret docking) but based on mass, rather than boxdims, if that answers your question.

I don't mean closed system like that... What I mean is, energy appears out of nowhere, for free, so the economy doesn't remain a closed system... Free stuff constantly (even if a bit slowly) materializes, so you don't have to ever buy anything, which eventually results in a chain reaction...

D:

That gets back into the realm of uninteresting and having no connection to the nature of the ores/crystals themselves...

Yes, that is if turrets could shoot through PlexDoors... which they don't, thankfully. That would be really OP because enemies can't shoot through your plexdoors, so you'd get an effectively invincible, extremely accurate weapon... :|

Orbiting defensive platforms? Orbiting moons? Orbiting rings? Asteroids? Patrol ships? Comm satellites? Missile-firing giant cheeseburgers? Cloaked mine deathtraps? Drones? Giant faction ball moons? Death stars? Death cars? Infinite possibilities in infinite combinations. +1 to this idea.

If you mean the topic, it's not exactly important, but it's also not very hard to implement, and people have been asking for it since ages ago.
