Ship tech

Now your ship can double jump too! (or be a morph ball and use the grapple glitch to fly without fuel)

They'll just be like any other tech, found in chests around the place, but instead of upgrading you it adds abilities to your ship and uses fuel when used instead of energy, ship tech can only be used in area that are open to the sky. Ship tech will have it's own console and 4 tech can be active at once instead of 1 like with player tech. Here's some I thought up just now:

Supply: drops a box on the planets surface that has 10 random food items and 5 nano wraps, uses 100 fuel per use

Excavate: digs 5 by 5 hole under you instantly, uses 50 fuel per use

Land: de-orbits and lands on you, uses 200 fuel per use

Shoot: shoots a laser at your mouse cursor, deals 1000 damage to unarmored enemies, uses 20 fuel per use

Recharge: instantly recharge your energy by 400, uses 50 fuel per use

Sell: instantly gives you 100000 pixels, uses 1000 fuel and a ship per use

 

There's a slight flaw with the last one, in that there's no way to get a new ship yet

 

that's the point, you're stuck on a planet with a ton of pixel that won't be spend

 

I think selling can be abused especially if you play multiplayer and party up xD

First off, in single player you make one char to sell the ship to get pixels

Make a 2nd char to grind up stuff and build a base on the planet the character that sold the ship is on

Now use the char who sold their ship to craft with pixels/convert to pixels to blocks (losing 40% but its a small price) then transfer over

In multiplayer even if you don't have a ship you could always party and beam to another player's ship

 

Or simply materialize pixels, go to a multiplayer server, open a new starbound window and on it play your other character in the same server, meet yourself in the server and hand over da money.

 

I thought I already stated that with the converter and losing 40% of the pixels =P
