Factory on a ship

[Phoso]

Hey everyone,

i tried to build a factory on my big ship and then i see it isn't possible, so i thought maybe it is a good suggestion to make it possible, cuz on big ships u can produce what u need, for example hulls, after "farming" a neutral base or planet's.

Yeah, there\'s no real reason it shouldn\'t be allowed.

I agree. Actually, I am hard pressed to find any block that couldn\'t be used on a ship. Especially as for now, without clunky and crude export of whole sectors, you cannot really save station blueprints and spawn such in future games, making stations generally avoided.

yes, this needs to be possible, having a fully intigrated salvage ship would be nice. where it could harvest and process materials.

Plus homeworld fans could make their own fan carrier/mothership to craft other ships from with gathered materials :P

This said, we\'re having a bit of a hard time with crafting, one of my friend was unable but to feel it felt a lot complex.

Well, I suppose the restriction is there for a reason, seemingly forcing players to build bases, but I agree that they should be allowed to opt for a huge mothership and nomadic style. Perhaps some space-consuming restrictions, like factory blocks on ships having to be placed on a special pedistal block, and not being allowed to touch anything else.
