You mentioned "tiring" and "tedious", so I thought that AFK would be a solution. I agree that some way to remotely host a ship would be really useful. Although not sure how many PCs can handle pretty much running the game twice at the same time (hosting not only second ship, but also loading...

Regarding dev gates/stations/cities: IMO having almost everything player built and controlled should be the ultimate goal... but don't rush it. Dev stations are necessary until game encourage large factions to build public (!) infrastructure. I.e. a way to automatically tax the gate based on...

I wonder if it'll even work reliably enough to prevent illegal distribution. I.e. if you make modules of the entire ship and copy it into another blueprint, will the system be able to track it back to the original BP?

Already possible. Good avoidance script and receiver-based navigation. Sadly only within 1000km from origin.

AFAIK the plan is to require players to build crates/hangars on the station to increase storage capacity

The final plan is to make station safe zone increase in size as you add more voxels. And I hope we'll get that in game sooner than later.

Doubt that it would work. But... what happens when you hit one pickaxe with another? Two absolutely hard objects colliding may lead to some nuclear explosion....

Proper solution for that would be ore ejector or filters for collector, not deleting. Hard delete is needed only for stations, where dumping unwanted resources creates mess and lag. And even for that, dedicated incinerator machine seems like the proper solution. Even better if it contributes to...

Nice suggestion, but: 1. Certain plates are already invulnerable to some weapons. They have "minimal armour value", which multiplied by volume gives the minimal damage threshold. So the mechanic is already in game, just the numbers need balancing. Not sure if old damage formulas still apply...

Pilot chair stand snaps to cradles and has socket for running cables from.

There's ton of research in game. People spent countless hours understanding how armour, durability, asteroid distribution, gravity, explosions, turrets and thrusters work, just to name a few. You're asking to be a space Indiana Johns (who was a grave robber), not a researcher.

I agree on limiting 3rd person camera us in combat in some way. Either everywhere outside SZ, or only if someone fired a weapon within 1km in the last minute. Camera drone would work too, with visible thruster trails/lights, being destructible and showing no crosshair. With names it's a bit...

You missed warp core Quevin. I don't mind having them. They make a lot of sense for ships around the current ship limit size. But if I had to choose, I'd go for something 2x2m or 3x3m. So something in-between. Jump from 1k eps to 200k, or from 500k thrust to 35000k is a bit much.

That's a good point - we have large deflation now. But I think most of the money that get removed from game is due to SSC fee - something that will largely disappear once we get blueprint casting on player stations. Let's just keep it as a possible suggestion when/if that trend inverts.

Here we disagree. Devs stated their intention to keep developing the game after 1.0, just at slower and more careful pace (less features and more polishing). But it will be gradual process, not hard transition. Same could be applied to all mentioned methods of discouraging hoarding. They could...

IMO wipes are not the way to go. The game is in constant development, and 1.0 will not stop balance changes. Which means there will always be new players crying about being underdogs for vets. So a single time event wouldn't serve it's purpose in the long run. Instead of wipes, I'd go for a...

They are still stackable. You just need to use normal turntables rather than those more compact rail movers. EDIT. oops. You were talking about sliders, not turntables. Haven't checked those in a while.

Lauri answered that question some time ago. CCAPs can have weapons, but no bullet can go through it's shield. Neither in nor out. So quite useless for them.

The thing you're talking about is mouse centring (returning virtual joystick to the middle position), which indeed should be an option. And inertia based flight model, which is core game mechanics that many of us love. And that should'n be dumbed down to SE level of abstraction. But the dead...

Woah! Ball turret! So many questions! I guess it gonna use some form of tripod code, that's why it need to be contained in ball shape to prevent any clipping. Can we freely build things inside of it? Outside I guess is a no-go, to prevent collisions Could you consider giving it at least 30...
