Not sure about everyone else but I personally don\'t think the core is ugly at all. If so you\'d have to say the same about the build block, faction module, shield block, docking expanders, etc. etc. They all have the same design as the ship core but with different colors. So I think you might be in the minority on this one.
-Then You have very poor taste. Said blocks don\'t look particularly like anything. They\'re bright and colorful, so simple minded folk must find them mesmerizing, but anyone not on the mental level of a moth isn\'t likely to enjoy them that much; They don\'t look like computers, nor pilot seats, nor consoles, nor anything mechanical. Just a non-figurative jumble. Plus, I don\'t even think the OP was referring to the textures. Those can be changed easily.
Nope. You need the ship core to start a new ship. It\'s a necessity. And what else would you start a ship with? (that\'s a rhetorical question; meaning don\'t answer it)
-A; They shouldn\'t be a necessity. They limit the freedom of construction, and it has birthed terrible combat mechanics; A ship shouldn\'t stop functioning because someone drilled a 1x1 hole in it and damaged that one single block in the middle.
-B; There\'s plenty of other methods to start building a ship. If that question looks even remotely rhetorical to you, you are woefully unimaginitive and also live under a rock. Even if you don\'t want it answered-for fear of looking foolish-, there\'s many logical answers. A certain other game already showed a much better method. Their ships start wherever you want to start, and stop functioning as you lose true function blocks.
This is what SD Cockpit blocks are for.
-No. SD Cockpits are cameras. You can\'t sit on them, you can\'t enter them. (Should be renamed to cameras by the way) Also unrelated to what the OP meant. He himself explained it better a few lines later. You even quoted it. But you just had to be a smart@ss. Which would be okay, IF you knew what you were talking about.
This currently isn\'t a reality in the game, you can\'t see your hands anyway, and you probably won\'t be able to for a long while.
-Quite possibly why the OP wrote \"I want to be able to...\" instead of \"I am able to...\" -Which pretty heavily implies he himself is aware of the fact it\'s not in the game right now, but would like to see it happen some day.
\"Ratchet\"? How... I... How does that word even work as an adjective? Is this some sort of hip middle school saying that the new generation uses these days? I\'m a 90\'s kid so I\'ve never heard this phrase used before except with kids below the age of 12.
-You\'d better believe the 80\'s kids found your slang terms just as odd. Also, if by your own admission you\'re a 20-something, should you be going out of your way to undermine a perfectly sound argument posted by someone you think to be half your age? Or better yet, should you be so bad at it? You seem to have misunderstood most of his points; considering how he was able to make a smarter post than you did, he looks to be the \"older\" one among the two of you. And on the web, you\'re only as old as you can appear to be.
