bionic ships

[Uskazd]

The idea i'm presenting here is basically living ships (like for example Moya from Farscape), and may be implemented as a mod for the game.

Here's the idea (very fast and rough presented):

1) A block to create a new ship (like the ship core, but for biological ships)

2) Organic blocks: These regenerate over time and grow back after a certain while (if completly destroyed). Each have their own features. For example, a stomach block allows the ship to have a higher energy, muscle blocks increase the resistance to hits, etc...

3) Fusion block: allows bio and non-bio blocks to be used on the same ship.

Maybe you can use some of it.



Regenerating armor is a nice idea, since armor is so bad (because of of weight). But from what source do you take the regeneration-power? Do you need to breakfast on planets?
