I'm completely on board with this, but we do need to come up with a different name for 'Tech Points', maybe just 'Excess Energy' or something simple like that. I'm also going to agree with Matt_Bradock, don't compare the chamber system to an upgrade tree. I was actually very confused in the...

It might be possible to rely on block changes and logic updates to detect breaches and doors opening/closing, then keep the update loop only to double check the detection from the block changes, so it only needs to run every few seconds.

A simple rendering suggestion; change the apparent size and brightness of stars depend on the size of systems and sectors, so that they are equivalently the same size as the map-painting stars at system edges. This would aim to smooth out system transitions when the sector sizes are small, so...

A completely random, of the cuff suggestion; Make the crafting requirements or recipes for high-end parts only spawn in abandoned or aggressive stations. For example you can only create jump drives after visiting and exploring an abandoned station. Higher end things like warp gates teleporters...

I completely disagree with you.

I'm going to chime in here again and say the current power system has to go. The current system, while it works functionally, doesn't work aesthetically or realistically (in addition to the functional issues on the front page). The current power system bears no semblance to real power...

I definitely think this should be changed about the system. If a reactor can cause systems a few meters away from it to overheat, it would definitely cause some harm to the crew.

That's not how I build, and I consider myself a RP player. When I build a ship, I do want to make it look a certain way, but I also want it to actually do something. The difficulty in figuring out what functionality I can add to the shape I want to build is a challenge that makes building...

It's not necessary from the position of a space-ship fighting simulator, but then neither is planets, nor stars, nor teleporters, nor creatures, nor npc factions, nor space stations, nor factories, nor logic. That is why this game isn't defined as a space-ship fighting simulator, it's "The...

I think you're overacting a tiny bit here.

Not YET. There has been an update in the works for a while that will add crew quarters and actually crew NPCs. These NPCs are intended to add benefits to ship performance, but require certain things, like sleep and recreation, in order to continue efficiently. So while it is currently true that...

This looks amazing, something I've been waiting for a long time to make ship building more interesting. I would also recommend adding in some gui element to allow players to easily see the heat boundaries when building. Also, is this system going to work the same on stations?

Increase Warhead damage. Currently Warheads can only really be used offensively by using them in complex missile drones, or placing them as an astronaut. And the damage they do doesn't seem worth all the effort. So making them more powerful compared to most weapon systems, will make them viable...

The idea behind this is, instead of having a set color of hull for each block, and set weapon blocks, and set effect blocks, set up changeable block groups. So, say you make a ship, where you use excusively two different colors of hull/armor on a ship. In the blueprint you can set those blocks...

Choose Additional Shapes (Wedges, etc) Similarly to Slabs

Quick suggestion, change the wormholes so they look like the wormhole from the movie "Insterstellar". Cus I think it would look more interesting than the current look.

Something I just realized; if you set a single ship to a fleet, you can now use the fleet Move Command, to have your ship on AUTOPILOT!

You need to have the same OS and Java bit version. So if you have 64 bit windows, you need 64 bit java

A more aesthetically pleasing outpost station. I'll let the images tell you what you need to know.

Simple suggestion: Get rid of all of the Wedge, Tetra, Hepta, and Corner block items, and simply add another slider in advanced build mode to determine what you want to place, similarly to how slabs are placed. This would make sorting MUCH easier as you now only need to sort the base "Cube"...
