I sure hope it can do basic trig at least. It's very useful math for calculating vectors in a Cartesian coordinate plane out of angles and such.. I only mention it because I know the FCU does it for you, and to achieve what I am explaining I think you'd need to get rid of the FCU.

I agree with the basic FCU because it forces people to make ships that require pilot skill. This results in more research going into making flyable ships with less expensive components and adds a tad bit more of pilot skill into the races. Later, these ships can be adapted for normal use with...

I believe a lot of factions are interested in dominance, getting rich, trading, stuff like EVE online. They would need to purchase ships to save time and replenish their fleets after battle. I think plenty of players will want to build their own ship, including myself. I believe I will still...

The main downside I can see with both ideas is complexity. You would need to center everything as perfectly as you can and manually trim each thruster until the ship flies perfectly straight. You will always have a slightly asymmetric design so this is required. That, or you can use a sort of...

I have a couple ideas. The first being: Right now the thrusters have to be stuck to the frame, but the pilot seat and other components like weapons do not have to be. You would have to do most of it with YOLOL and forgo the FCU, but I believe you could have the entire ship rotate around the...

Most games use personal rooms purely for storage and respawn. I don't think leaving it at that is too far fetched.

I remember planet side 2. I used to fly the Terran republic mosquito. Not sure about the other ships, but if you couldn't strafe then that ship was almost completely useless lol. Strafing allows you to keep pointed in the direction you're actually firing in while not flying straight towards...

I agree to a point. Having many people competing to build the best ships is good for competition, so it's not really that bad of a thing. Plus the actual manufacturing of the ships is another whole area people don't really think about I think. The design is fun, and building one good ship may be...

I'm most interested in building ships. I would like to join a large faction at some point and have a small team who builds the faction's ships. In that case they would remain proprietary for that faction and give them a potential advantage, and they would provide me with the funds and resources...

I like the idea of sanctioned races like this, however I would make a few adjustments. 1) Do not limit the amount of thrusters to a set number. Manufacturers should be allowed to have as many as they want for competitive freedom. They will establish a meta at some point between weight...

Hello everyone! I have just recently stumbled across this game in development! I have always been into space games, my two favorite of late being Star Citizen and Space Engineers. Space Engineers has let me down regarding the amount of customization available and Star Citizen, while very...

As far as I understand it, the FCU helps modulate the thrusters to keep the ship moving perfectly forward while inevitably being slightly asymmetric as well. Most ships in the real world accelerate in a single direction and turn around to utilize the same engine to slow down. Strafing is only...

That's what makes them so dangerous! I want to create a company engineering high end/expensive ships for combat, mining, and exploration. I would like to make sort of a name for myself in the universe as a good engineer. Seeing ships I designed being used by large factions and stuff would be...
