We can have a robocraft style radar that only shows friendly units and enemy units currently being spotted. However the enemies radar did not spot can still be seen on the map and manually aimed at as oppose to the wot/wows style spotting where they go invisible. If we have to use transmitters...

Might as well just give third person to everyone. Cheat players will have it anyway.

Well, if you are like 20 times richer you already won anyways:)

There will be big wars, but people can't regularly organize wars of that scale. You still need big ships with less crew to work on daily defenses and escorts. Also 1-2 crewed battleships can be for emergency respond as organizing a time for 100 players to play at once could take days.

Yeah but only if you can find 100 people. A guild fight involving 100 people will require serious planning, and won't be a regular thing. And also, I doubt if it can defeat 100 battleships. Of course, building so many battleships will be a serious problem. In the end it comes down to guild...

The "fight to the death" mindset only works if you are defending your respawn station and also have near unlimited supply of ships. Other times its advised not to throw your ship away. Ships are expensive.

This is what the bot farmers' work space look like. If you think its one guy with three computers in a basement, you think wrong.

Seeing your damage is more important than you think in some ships. If you are a speedy ship, loosing a few redundant thrusts and some armor plating may not cause much difference to your controls and firepower, but you should be running away because your ship could break any second.

Just by adding one massive super weapon, the game's ecosystem could be drastically diversified. :)

However, unlike in reality, carriers won't completely take over the place of battleships because of a simple reason: it's a game. For a carrier to engage, you need many pilots, maybe even hundreds of them, to be able to fight effectively. However, a battleship could be piloted by a few players...

As a result, we will have stations equipped with huge defense guns and then big ships with the same guns as siege weaponry. Once these ships are in the game, battleship to battleship combat will eventually occur, leading to a big ship arms race like what happened in reality.

However, if there is a huge ,heavy and powerful weapon, for example a super rail gun, there are reasons to build large ships. This weapon will have superior range and damage, and will be a good siege weapon as well. It Will also be super heavy and consumes a hell ton of energy and ammo. That...

In the current game, the most powerful mounted weapon is the rail gun. However, it is usable even by a tiny fighter. There is no reason to build bigger ships because small ships can also support the strongest weaponry in the game, no reason to spend extra money to make the ship bigger than it...

If we want Battleships in the game, what we need is not a super strong material, but some super heavy guns.

Yes. We don't want power creep in the game. If there is power creep it has to be design not new elements.

I would love to have a holo-display of your own ship that shows its damaged status.

I don't think screening people with motion sickness out of the game will make it more hardcore.

To be fair, the ISS has cameras and drones and vector thrusters and radar. Okay I don't know if they do have radar, but I know that the dragon has Lidar.

You don't need solar. Time freezes when there is no one around, which means that you can just leave it there for months until your victim shows up.

I was saying that flamethrowers in space are the same as chemical engines. But yes, gravity generators are magic, so is space drag. OOOOR.... is the light speed in Starbase 150m/s?
