    I know spaceship on spaceship combat was an originally planned feature back in 2013. http://playstarbound.com/the-future-of-starbound/ I haven't seen it on any of the newer development roadmaps. to v1.0. With the recent pics of penguins working intergalactic shipyards, it got me wondering if it's still in for v1.0 and if we might see it in the near future. I'm hoping for boarding parties but would settle for just space combat. Anyone got any info/confirmation/theory on this?

    @xxswatelitexx Thx for the quick and direct response :) I'll take that as a a solid maybe / if we can for 1.0, with a possiblitiy of implementing later if it's not in 1.0. I can totes live with that. Thx again :)

    I belive the devs have stated that, if ship combat will make a appearance, it will most likely be after 1.0 (aka release).

    If we don't have ship-to-ship combat, I'll be relieved.

    The flame wars over Kataang vs. Zutara were enough for me to last a lifetime. I don't even want to see the potential battlegrounds of Thornwing/Kluex vs. Greenfinger/Big Ape.

    Yeah those are guns. All the ships have guns.

    I don't think I'd expect it out of this game, but I think I would have enjoyed an FTL like combat system. As long as the ships get as large and spacious as they do, I thought it could be fun if you could install machinery into a few rooms that could add or upgrade some functions of the ship. Combat systems could be one of those. I'd say everything like that installed could be operated from the flight chair, but they would just work better operating the machinery itself. That way you could get a group of players on the same ship working together. I think a ship management element like that could be fun in this game.

    I thought about this before, and it does sound pretty neat, but it does step on the toes of those who enjoy decorating their ship any way they like.

    if they do it they must refund the ship actually you have only one room who have a fonction :the cockpit
    but maybe with the new colonisation system it will be easier
