I believe RabitBat is trying to say that we condense blocks basically. make 1 block = 10 in mass, power usage, cost, and weight, so that ships don't HAVE to be 90% systems to be functional.

My reading was close to that, I don't think he intended mass to be multiplied, as he was talking about the performance cost of thrusting against the mass of the systems blocks.

Either way it seems like it would make starting out that much harder. Each block might give you more bang for the credit, but you've got to mine 10 times as long to get the materials or credits for the next systems block.

Hmm. What if we had an "amplifier" block which was 10x the cost of a normal systems block and acted as 10 blocks of whatever system that it was attached to, including 10x the power draw? Maybe give it a compensating disadvantage that it does NOT get 10x the hit points.

i think the idea was more to scale down the system requirements of ships in terms of blocks, so that ships can retain function, even if they have extensive interiors, such as the enterprise he mentioned.

Have anyone thought about sorting block, or recycler that would bring back all or part of resources of recycled block? there are often tons of unnecessary blocks that could be refined to get raw materials

Yeah, that's been suggested a few times since I started lurking.

Something seems to be screwy with the site.
Visist any blue link and it will turn purple! Nostalgia
