An identify friend or foe device for ships. Could be 1 to 3 parts: Interface (small like car radio) Antenna (small / flush mounted) Display (if hud integration isnt a thing) The interface would accept a four digit code and any other ship with the same code would appear as friendly... Kinda...

Well, here's an IRL example i mentioned.

I like the idea of a scanner type device that can detect engine heat or exhaust trails, like the IRST on Su27...but not engines sending out manufactured signals like a transponder.

(y)(y) Need more cooling options/customization too than.

Looked like the directional thrusters were all firing almost the entire time too.

What about rotors on rotors? Such as with the Prometheus ship?

Yea, i was thinking of a big ship trying to fly through a field of also big asteroids. Idk how dense the fields are but can probably be avoided.

What happens if player defeat one or both of the dev factions??

You may try, and you may succeed... For a time, but im confident designs would adapt to such tactics easily. And the ships crew would be just as capable as the boarding party, probably more so because they know their ships layout better. Are physical lockouts not possible? Devices that swing...

Hmmm, on that note, what about a shield sys that only blocks asteroids and debris? It'd be very useful in a utilitarian role.

Like a digital dog tag / ID card of sorts, I like it...

Sounds like SB is relying on role playing for the main factions? I hope not... Really wish the devs would address how this is supposed to work.:cautious:

Im just after a way to reduce weight/cost of ships while still having skin instead of exposed frame.

Hope so, i dont see why the thickness of existing plates cant just be on a slider that has a 'commercial' setting.

Thats exactly what im getting at though. Aluminium is highly reactive. SB uses fictional materials with 'yet unknown' qualities so... you know... Someone should suggest different transparent materials that hold up to the various stresses in-game.;)

:unsure:like a ship graveyard turned city or a fleet that got tired of travelling? I think it'd be cool.

Gates for sure, unless we get some warp tech for ships.

I could see a directional deflector type shield being useful, especially if it helped with structural integrity during warp or something... Maybe reduces loads by deflecting space dust and such?:unsure:

No, i would not suggest that. I'd guess SB battles will primarily be won by light craft for a while, unless we start seeing devs adding more benifits to ship size.
