Mobile Stations

[MegaLinkX117]

Like the title says, will we be able to strap thrusters onto a station to make it mobile? Be it with place-able thrusters, or having a ship that is just a giant thrust pack dock onto the station and push it around?

stations cannot move.

the reason stations can be so big is because they cannot move. it is a physics calculation issue. a ship that is maybe 500 meters long is a major physic issue can you imagine how hard everything would crash if it was 5km^3. objects that cannot move are very easy to do physic on.

Like YakkoForever said they don't move and I'm sure there be restrictions as well from Stations to Ships. That being said nothing stopping you from making big capital ships themselves and moving them around

The game makes a hard distinction between ships and stations. Stations are stationary.

Yeah the performance / calculation of the physics on massive structures is insane. So stationary gets massive advantages of being able to big much larger projects. Maybe that Halo Ring idea will actually be a thing someone can do someday.

Like mentioned above, just make a large "mothership" type vessel and you can make use of that rather than trying to make stations fly.
