      A Manifesto on Fuel, Balancing, and Various Play Styles

      Just asked myself how to create a (handy, fun and not-so-mandatory) fuel system only with already implemented mechanics. My answer : chemical generators. All Schema has to do is add a block with the properties of a factory (and enhanceable the same way), unless it doesn't create new objects...

      A Manifesto on Fuel, Balancing, and Various Play Styles

      What about solar power? Imagine power capacitors as solar batteries, which load themselves when exposed to the radiance of a star. The closest they are from the star, the fastest they do. At least one block of a capacitors group must be exposed to fuel its hidden twins, but the more of them are...

      FTL is here! It's a StarGate!

      Some thoughts : -About ships jumping out of battles : an interesting nerf would be that jump drives only work for a ship currently flying at its maximum speed, forcing to a true escape manoeuver instead of pushing a button. Would also link power, thrust and jump drive designs into a coherent...

      Increase Maximum SPEEEED!

      ... for the small space scale used IG. Speed is relative to space, and If a void system would be the size of our solar system, 50 km/h IG would equal light speed x5. (check this out : http://star-made.org/content/graphical-size-comparison ). The real problem is not ships are slow, it is stellar...

      More colors

      I\'d like like to see the painting functionality of the crafting system work like MC\'s tiding system : You pick a color in the spectrum -> the game gives you a list of elements to craft 1 hull of that color. Would greatly increase the interest of exploration/harvesting...

      Graphical size comparison

      Well done. Here is a nice page wich compares famous SF ships (and a lot of Star Trek\'s) sizes : http://www.st-minutiae.com/misc/comparison/ Some of them are insanely big for the game regarding your work (The V\'Ger : more than 2 sectors long (!)). And one ID4 saucer is large like 50 planets ...
