Urgent blocks balance by mass

[wagfeliz]

Today there is no diference of mass from an block made of advanced armor, power module or hull armor.
To implement balance: advanced armor mass > standard armor > hull armor > modules for example.

That's been in the game forever, it's not paticularly urgent, but it would be nice for it to be fixed sometime in the future.

Given how utterly useless hull is atm on anything larger than a cruiser for the most part, it would actually break balance more at this point. Maybe with or after HP update?

 

[Ithirahad]

What if it was the other way around? Advanced armour, blast doors, and all systems > standard armour, weapon computers > hull, decorative blocks, etc.

I think this is something they will look into when the thrust mechanics get their planned rework. Until then it's kinda pointless.

 

[godmars]

genuinely curious, what's the balance reasoning to weighing blocks differently from each other? I haven't really given it much thought but if everything theoretically weighed more I would start building bigger ships to compensate for the added mass with more thrusters

I actually expected this to coincide with the HP update.
