Asteroids

There has to be asteroids in the game maybe you can attach a rocket to them and mine them as you travel or drop them on hostile planets. The asteroids might cause a hazard for your space station. There could be irregular shaped asteroids that you could hide your space station in to stop it from getting damaged by smaller asteroids, missile strikes or use it as a disguise.

 

THIS IS A GREAT IDEA! Im not even kidding. I love this idea.

 

Pretty interesting idea; I like it. And perhaps as a mini-game, you'd play the actual Asteroids game! (If it was possible. Copyright and all that)

 

I think this is a great idea! Maybe there could even be a special ore only found on asteroids as well.

 

love it!
what if they had radioactive ores in them

 

amazing idea

 

I love it. If I found an asteroid, I would prolly put on this special gear and try to mine what is inside of it. I can just imagine me wielding a destructive sword made out of pure asteroid and slaughtering enemies as I go by my day..

 

What if there were asteroid fields that interrupted your space station during operations, or you could put on a space suit and anchor it to some of them and mine out the system? I personally think that would be awesome.

 

Yeah! That's what I thought! They better let us do it or else…

 

Thats such an amazing idea! Mind blown... Literally my head go hit by an asteroid! LOL

 

Fantastic idea! I would love to pretend to be an asteroid! Just be all "Oh yeah don't mind me hostile space station, just bein' a big ol' asteroid and stuffs"

 

I kind of like this idea, but more in the aspect of turning an asteroid into a meteor. You could go and push asteroids around a planet into the planet (not a full scale weapon... I think it would be a bit overpowered) And then fly down and mine it out.

I don't think it would be very good to use it as a weapon, as it would have to be either completely random where it lands (so it's not Incredibly convenient) Or that it's an end game development.

I think making them a threat to your space station would work, because that would become very tedious. you're mining low to the middle of your planet and suddenly meteor alert! "CRAP!" or say you're in the middle of a boss fight or something. I just think that it would be too much to have to handle.

Another thought would be what if you could mine out asteroids? They could be highly abundant in low tier ores but make it so you have to be mid game to be able to mine them.

 

i think you could send an asteroid down and its completely random where it land so you have to take a gamble weather to crash it or not

 

If you sent an asteroid down to a planet, it should make a crater not by deleting blocks, but by pushing blocks so the crater is a hole with a mound on each side.

 

What if, while you were on the asteroid, there was a timer on the top of the screen, of how much time you could stay there before it crashes into a planet? and you could keep it in space, preventing it from crashing into planets with shots of, plasma cannons i guess? And because of that, to prevent it from crashing into a planet the time on the timer would increase.

 

its theoretically impossible to redirect an asteroid with weapons fire of any caliber, the damage needed to impart the force to change its course significantly would shatter it into pieces.

 

Damn you spacial rules >:c

 

heh, similarly contrary to some sci-fi stuff you could not reverse an astroids course by building a giant thruster on it, because the size or number of thrusters needed is more significant then that which you could feasible attach before it impacted whatever you were trying to make it not impact.

 

i wonder if my space station will have a high powered tractor beam?.......

 

Tiy did mention somehere that there will be other things to land on besides planets. (moons, asteroids, abandoned spaceships/stations.) This will probably be post-release.
