Now that the stream has dropped let's imediately spam the devs with suggestions of chamber ideas. I'll start with this: Inertal Web Increases /Beam weapon range, projectile speed and damage by 50%. Reduces max speed and Acceleraton by 90%. Must reboot to change state. Deactivates positive...

What are the uses for swarm missiles? You could say they are lock-ons, but they have a shorter range than b/m weapons, and taking longer to lock on doesn't matter when you can out range them. You can't target individual ships with swarms. The only real use of swarms is overwhelming PD, and that...

Because of how salvage beams are set up the best way to use them in large scale is just a checkereboard of 40 long rods, making most players build "Salvage Bricks", and then maybe cover them to make it look good. This limits the style of miners, and makes things like mining turrets extremely...

A pretty big theme on the forums seems to be pvp and losing and wining and stuff, and especially on things where one person/faction attacks a noob miner or destroies warpgates, because they are less defended than other targets. How do you stop this from happening? Option 1: Git Gud Anyone that...

With titains being titains, npcs focusing on number over size, and fleet controls, it seems the best strategy right now is drone swarms. How do you counter them? Starting point- Many limited-size turrets to deal with drones. I've heard of turrets with Adv Armor CC shots followed by an explosive...

Wanted to varify how the new system will work heat wise, didn't want to post it on page 25. I think this is how it will work: Weapons/Shields/Thursters- Generates heat, if it gets to hot it will overload/not work. Reactors- acts as a negative heat zone, take some heat away from other systems...

The main reason people don't want to disable BPs is because you can't spawn stations then, and the main reason people want to disable BPs is because you can spawn "Pocket Battleships". So can we not be able to buy ship BPs at shops, only designs? This would still allow you to spawn stations by...

Really! The best I can do is a 5 by 5 by 3. I remember seeing one that was 1 by 2 by 3 somehow. How do they get such low heights?

If not allow straight control over gravity. It just seems really weird to have really high ceilings and still hit your head every jump. why in minecraft a 2 high house never feels right. If it could be turned down to 2 or 3 then I would feel a lot more natural and less claustrophobic in ship...

Because Use for either armor pen or as anti shield. Would it work, is it good, or is it terrible?

I just found out that you can set the max asteroid size in the adv settings... Will show results.

How do you guys plan your ship frames? Do you just build from the core, or make a separate structure and then copy:paste it in position? Moreover, where do you put your core? On an exterior bridge, for ease of access, or way in the middle, so it's hard to hit it?

Do you like how pirate stations resolve takeovers? Or should it change. I'm talking about the transition between a pirate station and... Whatever it becomes. Derelict station currently. Should it change?

I admit this is rather unthoughtout, but the idea is a weapon system that has a very short range(like 20 meters at most) but can slowly drill through a ship. Part of the boarding system, this would be a version of a ship mounted torch. More damage than the torch however. And a ~3 by 3 hole...

A Thread to organize all the other threads that in some way suggest a major change to astrotech in any way. It's like the Frequent Suggestions Megathread. Steps to posting: 1. Please find any thread that suggests any major change to astrotech in how it behaves and is used. 2. Copy the OP and...

What should boarding be like? I'm not gonna provide an example or anything, just make a thread for it. Do we need new meta items, do we need new entity types, do we need new alternative astronaut options, do you like it now. I've never seen it, actually.

Old version's idea is just copied here: The purpose of this thread is to have a poll for buffing warhead damage. Just to see what people think. Right now they scratch the paint on an advanced armor block, and have a radius of 5(?). You can post reasons why and why not to buff them, but stay on...

I did it Dr. Whammy. I had to. What if you could unmake ingot blocks? So you could have capsule form, which you would use for actual construction, and ingot form, which is what you would use for deep storage. Because as of now your 2k inventory, or a storage/factory and 19 cargo blocks, can...

Has anyone ever made a total stop ship? A ship with only pull, stop, and EMP weapons. With scanners and jump inhibitors. Now that would be a great RP ship. And a great ship against anything weaker than it. Like a very peaceful faction's warship. It'd be cool. And ya know what? I'll make a...

An idea to set a fleet comand option for ships to "self distruct" by overheating. The overheat time would be about twice as long, so boarders could cancel the overheat or you could go out and salvage all your drones to replace them. Works extremely well with Slavage beam vein mining..
