I think, that using higher tier materials should give some benefits for things like thrusters etc, because better materials mean more durable and robust components and thus pushing the limits further of the functional blocks and in result giving higher performance. If Avorion shield generator gives more shields, then why Avorion thruster isn't outperforming Trinium thrusters? Regarding cargo space, It's nice, that the game takes into account walls if you are building separate cargo containers on one big cargo container, however the change in size shouldn't be that drastic, I agree with that.

Nice one.

That can't work, because you could put a small layer of normal hull to bypass that.

It would be nice if the game would allow to place engine thrusters facing any direction as well, that way you could design a ship to incorporate break thrust into the design on top of maneuvering thrusters. Personally I was very disappointed that you can face the engines only one way no matter how you turn them, because there are many other games, that don't have such limitation and you can place them however you want. I completely agree with this statement, however this game doesn't have sectors large enough to take advantage of this, instead it puts a burden to the player, and what if you don't want to flip the space ship around all the time? If for instance I have a large ship with huge mass and I have to go to a station nearby, that's only 20km away, I basically have to thrust away 10km and then turn around and start breaking. Saddest part it doesn't quite work that way currently in the game as BlackWyvern described it, but if it did, then first few times it may seem to be fun, but when you are doing it 100+ times, it's starting to become more annoying and a burden more than being fun and realistic. Games should have a balance between realism and having fun and as a quality of life feature having the ability to build nimble space ships, that can break as fast as accelerate and with decent strafing capabilities (for small space craft dodging bullets) is a must in my opinion. If the game would allow us to build engines in any direction, then instead of the game deciding on how you build the space ship, players would have the capability of deciding if they want to build a "normal" space ship or a space ship with increased maneuverability and exceptional breaking power.

I also have a keyboard with macro keys, set up 1 key, that does around 50 mouse clicks, does wonders :D Keyboard in question: https://steelseries.com/gaming-keyboards/apex-350

Not true, because when you jump to a sector near by, it takes only a few seconds to calculate the jump route. I think I read somewhere, that it's a fixed number (3 seconds per sector?), that increases based on how far you want to jump. I personally think, that the calculation time should not exceed 30 seconds no matter how far you want to jump in order to not destroy the fun factor while moving around across the galaxy.

Pretty much what the title says. It would be nice if Wormhole links would be colored differently from normal Gate links, that way you could distinguish them more easily in the map, because now it starts to become very messy with wormhole links, the more you discover them.

My friend has set up a dedicated server on linux. As soon as I have more than one of my ships on the same sector or my ship and a station, when I rejoin the server, the game doesn't remember on what craft I was last on and when I join the server I am not on my main space ship, but on my other space craft, such as miner or recently I acquired a Gold mine and I spawned at the mine and not on my ship. It's starting to become very annoying and happens to me 100% of the time whenever I have more than 1 ship at a sector. It basically spawns me in a thing, that I have built the last, but it's not what I want. The game should remember what space craft you used last and not the one, that's been built last.

As soon as you hit a certain size of your ship even on one of three dimensions (make it for instance too long, but not high or wide), the gates simply don't trigger and you fly right past/through them.

Yeah, there is a size limit on the ship dimensions, that can pass through, but it's not documented on what they are exactly. As far as I know that size limit doesn't affect wormholes.

Laserzwei made a mod, that emulates the production cycles of Factories while you are not in the same sector: http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,1322.0.html

The game already supports the mechanics of changing the color like you proposed, but for the UI: I assume it's intentional, that it's not added for blocks and you have them as loot, where some colors are more rare.

I like this idea. It's basically a proper docking port. If that could be done, I would like to see this change also applicable to existing station docking ports and when you dock to the station, you actually have to dock and connect with it and disconnect with it when you are done. That would be so great, immersion wise especially.

My friend added your mod to the server, but I didn't see any option to move an asteroid after I claimed it and I probably shouldn't, because this mod is only server side and I didn't change anything to my client in order to add that option in.

If you are not satisfied with the balance of the game, you do realize, that you can change the difficulty to a lower one if you are so eager to fight enemy ships with shields with your un-shielded ship. Your suggestion for shields is biased and the game feels too hard for you and you want the game developer to nerf shields so that enemy ships are weaker. Well deal with it and adapt to the situation, adjust your designs, make them better, more efficient. I like a good challenge and many other people would surely back me up on this if necessary. Sniper rifles in FPS games require aiming skill and precision of the shooter, you can't just burst them aimlessly like other guns and it takes time to master them and those who do get to enjoy them. Here's a food for thought: Since I finished the game once already, before my friends servers SSD died, we started over and I managed to go from Titanium to Trinium zone with no shields and I could die in 2 shots easily if I was careless, my ship was like a fly compared to other ships, but I didn't die. Slowly I helped NPCs, gathered turrets and didn't pick fights that I couldn't win and slowly built up to that level, that I showed you above in this discussion. If you want to take on a large battleship with a small fighter spaceship, it's expected for the fight to be a few hours long at least, it's not Star Wars bs, where you can land a single deadly shot and a death star explodes. The more you will kill, the more loot you will get and slowly you will gather up better quality turrets and you will notice, that enemy shields are nothing special, heck, in my opinion they are too weak. Also your suggestion about shields is bad, because it would limit the creativity of small and ressiliant craft, that have low healt, but large amounts of shields - which is what I do with my miner NPCs ships, that I have built, they have around 3000hp, but 100k shields. Think about it! Plus you can build your own fleet and order them to escort you and help you in fights (a hassle to manage though). Basically you are shooting yourself in the foot if you want to nerf the shields, because they will be nerfed for you as well, not just other NPCs, and it will limit the creativity factor and people will be forced to build big and bulky ships to have more shields, it's silly, admit it! That's why there is a block in game called Shield Generator, the more you build them, the larger the shields and it's up to the player what they want to do with them. It's a sandbox game, people can build whatever they want. If you want to play with small fighters, then don't leave Iron/Titanium/Naonite zones, no one is forcing you, but if you do want to move closer to the center of the galaxy, you have to adapt to the environment, don't ask the developer to change the environment, because you personally feel its unfair for you, that you can't play through the game with your nice little ship, that you built starting the game. What's in the center:
