Alloys are in work, but i prefer thicker armor to special super strong stuff. Allow outer layer of armor to be buffed by thickness of layer behind it. This way we dont need any new ores and at some point it'd be thick enough to offer the invulnerabilities your after but would be resource...

Can we get it to cut in lines, like a laser? A cutting wheel causing jagged, random, fractures is odd.

"...make Starbase like other games..." :confused: Due, in part, to the reasoning for not having cameras, i doubt this becomes a thing. No reason for a canopy if fpv isnt required. Personally i'd prefer instead to have 6 axis view capabilities, adjustable fov, adjustable motion blur, etc etc.

Do we know if, and how many, modifiers may be applied?

Launchers are for long ranges and explode on impact, throwables and placeables offer close range arches and/or time delay. Grenades are more about fragments than explosive force, so shouldnt blow 2m wide holes through stations.

Yea, and the micro dust clouds... I think IL-2 has a paint wear and dirt accumulation mechanic. That'd be cool for sure.

Sticky grenades than. Charges and small explosives would be great for station assaults cause defenders will likely bolt obstacles down or close corridors.

We also arent sure how frequent corrosive space clouds and such will be. That may already equate to 'preventative maintenance' for a lot of us.

Ah ok, i see. They could be same height/width when occupied, just fold flat when not in use... Or maybe they only come in pairs, no single jump seats.

I spec cargo would take up the most space, if your making small things. Maybe hollow out an asteroid and use a mining ship to haul the little factory around?

Fallen limbs as melee weapons.

:unsure: How do you fit more than 1 endo in the same seat?

Unless flak turns out to be effective against missiles, big ships will be very vulnerable to torpedoes or rocket attacks. Especially with reduced SA in an asteroid field and laser guided weapons. A carrier wont have any long range weapons or sensor systems to aid the strike craft (cause they...

Drawbacks? It's just a seat, for sitting.:LOL:

A lightweight foldable seat for cargo compartments. This way we dont need a control chair for every passenger.

HEAT doesnt need to be fast... Neither does HESH but that requires fragments. Could have effective rocket AP rounds if more damage mechanics were created... However HE rockets appear to be plenty effective vs armor in the battle vids.

Maybe a second type of fuel could be introduced that reduces exhaust trail and eng glow, maybe at cost of reduced efficiency or output?

Dev battle made armor seem pointless on fighters. Flak and lasers are where its at... The inability to expand weapon ammo capacities is frustrating though. We're in space with sentiant robots but weapons all have small mags only? All ships, big or small, will have the same weapons (for now) so...

Lame Well, in the latest bloopers vid, when the fighter runs into the station, we can see a transparent green gun sight in the windshield. Maybe some simple hud is in work.
