    Incorporating an in-game Ship design element into the real-time MMO, and abolishing a separate Creative mode

    If there is a sandbox in place I will 100% be perfecting and testing my designs in it and will only spawn them on the MMO side when they are perfect. This is exactly how I play Stormworks, and this would be the design meta for Starbase. No shipbuilders will suffer through the trial and error of...

    Radar, ECM, and ECCM transmitter/receiver mechanics

    No telling what sensors will be added into the game yet, since a single addition of a sensor may vastly change the gameplay/meta in unintended ways. That being said, it would open up a vast world of electronic warfare to see Radar implemented in ways that interacts with the existing...

    Time To Kill - My Biggest Starbase Concern
