Space Ship Grave Yards and a Few Other Ideas

[Captain Savage]

Just a thought I had. You see, I like to build large ships. What you classify as a Titan I call a battle cruiser and the closer to true scale with ships from various sci-Fi sources the better. So when one of those I built got destroyed,(forgot to restrict the blueprint and two of the same kind loaded with pirates came at me from an angle) I thought it would be a neat concept if instead of the whole ship going away when the core overheats, why doesn't it just explode like a large missle so this large hulk is just floating through space waiting for a future salvage operation? Maybe alien or pirate MOBs could spawn inside after some time, kinda like space hulk for those familiar with Games Workshop Specialist Games. It'd be neat on servers too if a couple of factions have a large battle and leave a huge debris field of twisted wreckage and derelict hulks.

I know this might cause issues with putting too much strain on servers but I just though I'd put it out there since it'd be neat to see if its possible.

Also while I'm here, might as well offer a couple more ideas I think would be cool to add.

1.ocean planets(maybe with a small island or two in the center)

2.Land propulsion systems(aka wheels and treads, submarine and ship engines if ocean planets become a thing too) I plan on designing a class of ship that specializes in orbital assault and boarding actions, so being able to deploy armour on a planets surface would be pretty sweet. Also defenders could make mobile planet side AA vehicles or platforms.

these are just a few ideas I've been thinking about. If I have anymore worth sharing I'll put then up here too.

These are great ideas but there is one problem. We dont have a big enough community to staff a planet or a land invasion on the scale of what people want. AI is going to help with that evenrtaully but we just dont have enough people to do these epic battles.

1. Schine (the engine) doesn\'t support fluids. look into other threads (and use the search engine).

Suggest it there or +1 the thread. I did it too.



2.Land propulsion systems are already on Schema\'s task list

I like this idea

Lighten the server load, perhaps the hulk could drift to align with an axis over time, like an asteroid. That way it is no longer an entity, leaving the server to do less
