Cables

[Websterandy42]

I think it would be awesome if there were a cable type system so that you could literally latch on to the back of a large ship for boarding purposes. It could also be used to drag asteroids around or tow ships (if there is ever a need for fuel) Maybe the pulse system would also break all attached cables.

Cables! Yes. If only for their decorative value everywhere. :3

 

[Cboehme]

everywhere.


You had me at everywhere.

However itn will cause some problems. First, people would ask for different colors?

do they have mass?

are they collidable?

Can things be attached onto the sides?

are they flexable?

can they be broken via collision shock?



Can they be shot apart?



Yes there are alot of problems with this, however, why can\'t you just use the hanging lights like everyone else?

Use the lamps (meant for the ceiling).

Make them turn-able (is that possible with sprites? Have to look) and give them another texture...



But tubes would be great too. Just don\'t know if they are worth the time to make them. (Chairs next?)

Just have them act like gmod rope and cable system and add a way they can be shot of so they are not OP if they were to OP you could just drag someone to the sun and leave them there or have it so you have like a space mine they can shoot out and latch on and chase you and slowly reel themself in



plus think of the building possibilitys if you include a type of Winch it would make for some really cool builds

 

[mou]

in gmod ropes aren\'t used much because of lag

and in starmade its already lagging (ping lag not fps) on most servers only with ships I think ropes would only allow trolls to break servers as they require much ressources

 

[NeonSturm]

Not if they are not collideable and not shotable (you have to kill the rope holders).



if purely visual, +1

 

[Lecic]

Just because a feature is resource intensive in a game using source does not mean said feature will be laggy in schine.

If this happens I\'m going to make a parasite ship

I would love cables, even if they are just for decoration. Nothing says Sci-Fi or Cyber-Punk like a metric ton of wires hanging and scattered everywhere.
