it'd be neat to see a tank leaking while explosive shells pop near it threatening to turn the leak into a fire spout and then an explosion

not very, the worst is a cluster of about a half-dozen, but an actual asteroid thicket- It'd be cool for terrain and setting up mining colonies, but I'd more suggest the "one-voxel" micrometeor clouds for the dangerous class of space rock, and those would be so light it's more up to your hull...

What if you could just equip something like a yolol memory chip to your unitool and the various RFID reader systems check the lines on the installed chip when the unitool/endo enter their zone of effect? Combine this with chip-locking and you can issue employees locked passcards for specific...

More or less, but with less fiddly implementation compared to SE. More hi-tech emitters that sit nice and flush with the hull or at least don't have to be put out on meters-long booms.

I still think the coolest shield concept so far is the kind that deflect incoming shots based on type/speed/KE/whathaveyou and just make the projectiles deviate away from their path of travel. It's a complete inversion f the HP pool shield, so it'd get a vote from me if we absolutely had to...

wasd just generally means keyboard control, don't ask me what the dvorak keyboard version is tho

I'd like to see stuff like coolant piping for radiators get expanded to things like thruster and/or weapon upgrade parts that generate a heat value when used. Much dynamic, very possibilities, wow.

As much as I enjoy our debates, that presumption comes off as a little arrogant. The devs have said they'll see if shields are needed, not if they are wanted. Environmental plating fills that role, it would seem. I'm fairly sure, though I refuse to sift through the mess of discord to check...

the unitool already seems to have that range as a basic operational feature, just needs LoS to the device- if that won't be official gameplay range, I'd support some kind of "wireless access timer" to reach out to that 5-10m limit and touch device fields you can't see

yeah, then the average "slicer" needs to carry the sabotage code and know the ship systems or be prepared to reprogram device fields to work with the replacement code, which means stealing a ship by hacking isn't so easy as attacking one little chip reader, so owners have ample time to discover...

it's yolol-based, if a player can get their hands on a chip, there's likely a method to access the code, we'll need to see how chip-locking works out in practice, which could mean hacking requires replacing chips instead of recoding them.

Mm, we have no indication that input method is a device field, further I recall the chair's function as being described as "grabbing nearby controls" with keybinds.

I hope not, that's a lot of potential keybinds lost! that means turret controls can't use arrow keys if the pilot does and the pilot has to make sure they don't accidentally mess with the gunners, vice versa.

This, some kind of automated ID that can interface with yolol would be great. I'd be more preferential to something item-based that allows CV access, but considering everyone can see it anyways? Not as big a deal as irl

Smallest tank might fit inside small winglike structures. But you have a point, panel-styled tanks would be welcome for creative flexibility, but they aren' really very necessary given its space. As soon as we get atmo and aerodynamic buffs tho...

That's what the drums are?

considering the Week13 progress report shows buttons getting pressed from many meters away, I'd hazard a guess that if the manual range isn't nerfed the chair range likely will be the same- no reason not to have them share range of ability

probably not getting a HUD. And if there's a button within range of the chair, you can keybind it, so there shouldn't be any that you can press that aren't on a keybind

the chairs keybinding things lets you push the buttons or levers with the keybinds, keybinds don't happen without command chairs, out of a chair it's all manual
