    Axis's: i think there needs to be a block in which we could have a section be able to turn but only on one preselected axis X,Y or Z compared to the build/ship blocks orientation, so that the types of things we build could be drastically improved, we could even make Mechs in the future with certain new things.

    Control Pods: there should be a way to connect 2 ship control blocks together and have the docked one be able to control the one its connected to under certain curcumstances and be able to detach for a emergency getaway.

    Edit: The Control Pods could be used for a mobile warp system that is detatchable from the ship such as in starwars with the Syluire-31 hyperspace docking ring for the Jedi Light Interceptors.

    New Weapons: if we wanted to make a ship from a show or something that has small weapons yet they are extremly powerful its just not possible atm with only one type of beam weapon and that being a set strength. Obiviously more strength = more power but we could also have charging, like you fire and it has to charge before it can be fired. Possible charge cannons could be a Railgun or a other cannons like a Wave Motion Gun, apparently from the anime Yamato, or a Battleship Class Beam Rifle or cannon or whatever.

    All Three of these can greatly increase the ammount of things we are able to build in Starmade (though for somereason they all happen to gather around Mechs), though i still want to build a mech in Starmade.

    Edit: There could also be Warp drives for getting from place to place, the warp drive would require like 99% of the power and leave you vulnerable for a bit after you warp but that would just make it more realistic wouldnt it?

    They are just saying Beams im getting more indepth and saying specific type of beam and a possible feature of said beam, also he said nothing about a railgun, along with the fact that the Wave Motion cannon is not even a beam cannon.

    Edit: there was only one beam weapon in there and it was still a specific type of beam weapon.

    6 types of beam weapons.

    What\'s a railgun for? Kinetic weapons are so old fasioned. You can blow stuff up much more efficiently with energy weapons or missiles.

    I\'ve never heard of a Wave Motion weapon, how does that work?

    Railguns can use anything for ammo so it wouldnt need to be anything specific and it is also extremely powerful depending on the size you build it.

    the Wave Motion Gun i have no idea but heres a link to the website about it. http://yamato.wikia.com/wiki/Wave_Motion_Gun
