I know I've been spamming polls recently, but here's another. Do you think there should be third person perspective option for endos? For ships it's confirmed only FPP, (and me likes that) so not much discussion here. Advantage of TPP: -you can look at your new fancy armour -better situation...

Or not to zoom. That is the question. According to devs, no: AkseliFB: "No zoom when piloting planned" IMO there should be one, to allow spying on enemies from long distance (if you know where to look). Also to make it slightly more fair for people with weaker PCs (not me). It could be built...

If you're ever looking for volunteer ship designer or tester, you know where to ask ;)

AFAIK cams are on hold for now. Both because of performance (in case of displaying onin game screens) and to force people to build external cockpits. Regarding limited field of view: single cockpit can have potentially 90+% of the sphere in view. Just place it on mast, gimballed and with large...

Some more ideas. This time space whale. It's an hybrid, modular non combat ship designed to perform multiple tasks: Collect whole asteroids using both internal hangar and external cargo beams Refine asteroids on the spot using rail-mounted mining-sorting-refinig module. Thanks to being mobile...

Yes, and no. Manning guns and piloting are just two of multiple things you need crew for. The game seems to be balanced as "easy to disable, hard to destroy". Thus single stray bullet can cut important cable and disable some important device. Fixing such small damage is fast (thus feasible in...

Oh! Did they posted any info/image about size of those corners? I've seen them confirming that curved tracks exist, but no details. 2m radius would be enough to maje pretty large turret rings (multiple levels for more structural integrity). Especially with current weapon size - AC is only 4m...

Maybe we'll need something like small turntable in the middle, for reading and setting angle, and rails for increased structural integrity. Reason why I don't think they'll add huge turntables is that they keep all modules small enough to be manually moved around. Anything above that is divided...

AFAIK cutting tool is not meant for permanent ship modifications. Grey "burned" voxels, jagged line and reduced durability suggest that at least. Better build windows out of various uncut plates. Unless you go for more mad max style scavenger type of aesthetics. But then you don't need a ruler.

Already possible with curved rails.

BTW. I wished for chain of command, and it seems Lauri think about something functionally similar: LauriFB "the plan is to have smaller groups which can pledge allegiance to a larger group maybe we should name smaller groups something like company/guild and the larger one factions ... ... so if...

Recent quotes from Discord, to cast some light on the topic: VilleFB "I think the ship editor allows some tests. But RnD by it nature is going to cost something right?" ArtturiFBW "There's currently no planned way to save a physical ship as a blueprint, in part because that would make it too...

Ripped of arm, or even all the limbs and head, don't incapacitate anyone. Only damage to torso. But I agree with the core parts of your suggestion: -ability to "revive" downed player, -to inform surrounding players that you need help (emergency beacon, dead man talkin, ect). -to transfer...

I'd love proper chain of command implemented. So not only "every sergeant is over every private" but more like "private 1, private 2 and private 3 are under direct command of sergeant 1, who together with sergeant 2 and sergeant 3 is command by captain 1". Either as long lasting assignment or...

You can hard mount small weapons as well. Or slave multiple turrets to single fire control seat.

Quite common suggestion: give us huge/spinal/capital weapons. At first glance it seems like a good idea. After all all the movies have it. But is it really good? How does it improve the game? IMO it would only dumb down engineering aspect of the game. Right now there is huge difference...

Technically it's quite easy, as tractor beam just apply force to an object, and hopefully equal force of opposite direction is applied to tractor beam. Any decent game physics can do that. So I think attempt to swing will end up ripping off either tractor beam or the point it grabbed. Most...

One thing to remember: There are different sizes of stations, so there should be different sizes of bane stones. Or simply a modular one. Opening up mining outpost shouldn't be as expensive as opening megastation. Something like 10-20% of station cost (stored resources and ships don't count)...

After that short conversation on discord I though about posting it as well. I've been too slow :( I agree in general, but disagree with some details. IMO it should be all destructible. What's the point of testing combat in completely different environment than actual game offers. And...

They are humanoid robots, which for me is a clear sign that they are controlled by human minds or copies of it. Why else would they take such an impractical body form? Legs and long silhouette in 0g? AI would certainly be able to control ships directly, and calculate a lot of things on the...
