i dont wanna be the bad guy but i think now you dev's are just adding unneeded stuff like that ship stuff.i think you should release the game anytime soon
Pre-made ship modules you can mix and match could work, patch together your spaceship like you want them, progressing allows for more modules to be added, increasing the complexity and size of your ship.
Create a ship customization "mode". Pieces would be premade but modders and players them self could make new "rooms/parts" and add them to list where from you could add/attach them to your ship and place them anywhere in your ship. But leve plausibility to build everything inside the "borders" of ship. Same "ship customization" garage could have slider to change of max size of ship so that players with little less performance systems could safely build ship without risk of making it too big and players with machines that roar by the beastfull power they carry could build huge townfull of people carrying megalomaniac monsters of creativity Edit. This could also be one way to make the space stations that some of devs said he was doing as side project (if i remember right). But how much power would it consume to have big space station moving from planet to planet? I bet too much for basic computers, at least for basic laptops, thats for sure.
I agree with some of the posts here. Maybe instead of block by block. Maybe complete pre-drawn sections that can be added when earned/bought/crafted with materials? -Like rooms or storage. -Different sizes and types, race specific, varying in price/cost to make? -And then maybe make adding other race parts to your ship later, in more of a cosmetic way - like converting the current room into the other race equivalent . --- I Just think building our own block by block may look out of place. But whatever Tiy figures out or not, will still be awesome.
I'll only say this : Thank you for listening to our input about customizable ships. Also, yes, modular hull blocks would be the best method to make the ships look good.
We NEED ship customisation, space exploration wouldn't feel quite as exciting if you can't travel around in a ship that looks like a giant cock....pit from the millennium falcon....
The campfires look delightful. I love the zipped up tent: cute touch. Hopefully that will protect me from space-bears. No, wait, what am I saying? NOTHING can protect us from space-bears. NOTHING!!!!!! Tents are USELESS against these horrors! Even if you manage to sleep through the night, it will just hibernate outside your tent...waiting...watching...plotting. *shudder*
I agree with the SHIP be built with some BLUEPRINTS, some predefined parts, like LEGO, then we can have freedom to customize it more without that problem
This customizable ship could work with a 'hull' block and a some kind of diagonally cut block or code to round it. Same color as the original hull. Or ... maybe a variety of pre designed craftable modules.
Maybe if we was able to build are own ship I'd have 7. Or more different hull blocks and back wall hull block , have the different types for the races and maybe some more ? I would make thease blocks fairly expencive and need the use of a space sute .
How about this: you have "lots" of building blocks preset available using the same sprites or style of the original ship. This way you could add sections of your ship which is predetermined by the blocks and the ship. The devs (you guys) could make the sections already attached on the original one and by a selection window, we choose the type of building block we want and add it to the place on the ship where we want. This way, you still retain the original style (don't use small blocks which I agree looks aweful). You might think of our space station in orbit of our earth using modules. Think of those sections of ships modules which could be places "almost" anywhere. Yes there would be lots of work to determine where to place Y block to X position on the ship but it could allow a lot of design potential here. p.s: or use a door on your screen to go on another section of your ship ?!?
i like the idea of being able to build out extra areas on your ship, however it SHOULD require special ship hull blocks and materials, and perhaps it should also require a spacesuit to do or be done while landed on a planet perhaps these special hull blocks could also be used to make other things, like custom designed boats, or could be required for makeing airtight rooms underwater just some thoughts
For that you can build on the inside, instead of wasting loads of time trying to make the new rooms look flush with the existing ship. At last that's my approach to it.
Specific blocks that share the look of the space ship (hull, glass, thrusters etc. ) are without a doubt a good idea. You can also RP the idea: technically you wouldn't use the same walls on a planet that has an atmosphere and in the void of space.
Hull blocks would be so awesome that something somewhere in the universe would certain implode, then explode, then implode again and then have a final explosion as confetti if you were to add it. It'll be nice if the same hull blocks were usable in all ships, just changing appearance and theme depending on the ship. I don't think mixing ship themes would work very well. Hm... resting restores health? Then I guess to make that relevant characters would need to have relatively big health pools, and health restorative items and effects would restore relatively little health. Otherwise there would not be much point on resting. My view of it is being able to explore for a long time as your health keeps going down as you fight and fight dangers, and restorative item helping keeping health up, but not being enough, until you really have to set a camp to rest to recover or you'll be risking a lot. About after an hour of exploration and scouting should be the time you should set camp and rest a little.
I seem to recall this was "basically" the original idea for the ship (but with less customization). There was a gif posted showing how the ship could be upgraded 3 times. I was (and still am) perfectly cool with this idea. How about this though: Once you've started building a base on a claimed planet, you have the ability to create a "starport". The idea is then you could build a second ship (as long as you have a dock to store it) out of blocks in whatever way you see fit. Obviously this would require quite a few more specialized items (thrusters, engines, etc), but going this route you could build an ENTIRE FLEET (again, limited by the dock space you build). Hmmm....i think i will actually repost this later in the suggestion forums as an idea for a content update down the road!
