Kyokei's list of things

Sorry for the bad topic name... I've been writing down things that would seem cool to me to have in the game:
No need to go into everything and I will keep updating the list

- Borderless window mode
- Asteroids not disappearing when empty
- Flying debris through the map.
- turrets after being attacked not turning back to green even if rep is good.
- Civilian gear not "infinite" in starter base (new people joining won't be able to buy a mining device for example if it's already been bought)
- Zoom out more
- Camera position not equal (bottom of screen you can see less)
- More roaming ships (more allied fighters, etc), more in fleet size (for example 1 freight ship + 1 fighter to escort him)
- Dock-able planets
- Gather debris
- Nebulas
- Bigger asteroids so you can use them as cover (they reduce in size when being mined)
- Bigger spaceships that can be used as refueling stations, etc
- All ships should not be able to equip the best parts (should be limited due to ship build/ship cost)
- Ships should be upgradeable, upgrade separate slots and weapon slots and put a max on the number of upgrades. For example the Freight ship could get 1-2 weapon upgrades + 3 parts upgrades. Weapons could then be upgraded from lvl 1 to lvl 2.
- Better weapon looks on ship. Laser to look more like a laser gun etc etc.
- More ship debris flying when ships are destroyed. Debris to disappear after 1 minute?

*This is a welcome idea
Quote from: kyokei on June 09, 2014, 07:54:24 AM- Asteroids not disappearing when empty
*Maybe the graphic change to a 'mined out' version.
Quote from: kyokei on June 09, 2014, 07:54:24 AM- Flying debris through the map.
*more eye-candy
Quote from: kyokei on June 09, 2014, 07:54:24 AM- turrets after being attacked not turning back to green even if rep is good.
*by this do you mean permanent status?You are now the enemy..no hope for you or your friends, family, and pets.

*this would be handy, updating shops.
Quote from: kyokei on June 09, 2014, 07:54:24 AM- Zoom out more
*YES...maybe even to a full zoom-out using icons to represent ships, docks ect..
Quote from: kyokei on June 09, 2014, 07:54:24 AM- Camera position not equal (bottom of screen you can see less)
*low priority but would be nice.
Quote from: kyokei on June 09, 2014, 07:54:24 AM- More roaming ships (more allied fighters, etc), more in fleet size (for example 1 freight ship + 1 fighter to escort him)
*possibly even clan wars happening.
Quote from: kyokei on June 09, 2014, 07:54:24 AM- Dock-able planets
*Making the planets more than eye-candy would bring more depth. Find ancient ruins,(goodie huts anyone)
Quote from: kyokei on June 09, 2014, 07:54:24 AM- Gather debris
*sell for spare cash or trade
Quote from: kyokei on June 09, 2014, 07:54:24 AM- Nebulas
*more eye-candy. Also can give depth to the universe(background)
Quote from: kyokei on June 09, 2014, 07:54:24 AM- Bigger asteroids so you can use them as cover (they reduce in size when being mined)
*A cover system is needed for sure.
Quote from: kyokei on June 09, 2014, 07:54:24 AM- Bigger spaceships that can be used as refueling stations, etc
*Similar to more roaming ships..adds diversity
Quote from: kyokei on June 09, 2014, 07:54:24 AM- All ships should not be able to equip the best parts (should be limited due to ship build/ship cost)
*a tier system would slow down rushing through it all..
Quote from: kyokei on June 09, 2014, 07:54:24 AM- Ships should be upgradeable, upgrade separate slots and weapon slots and put a max on the number of upgrades. For example the Freight ship could get 1-2 weapon upgrades + 3 parts upgrades. Weapons could then be upgraded from lvl 1 to lvl 2.
*maybe limiting this to a specific model of ships.

*Agree
Quote from: kyokei on June 09, 2014, 07:54:24 AM- More ship debris flying when ships are destroyed. Debris to disappear after 1 minute?
*Realism vs Game-play vs Computer resources needed. This is the crucial balance.
