Styxx42 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I don't think these are in game. But I could be wrong. I am still in the very early stages( 30 hours) But is there a plan to have blocks that can move? I have yet to see a ship or station that has moving parts on it. I am thinking specifially of the Destroyers in Babylon 5 that had the portion of the ship that rotated around. Or Stations with the artificial gravaty ring that spun. And Piston block that can go our x number of blocks and back when triggered to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Lannik Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Any turret with the independent trait have a 360 degree attack radius but need to be allowed independent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Styxx42 Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hi Lannik. Thanks for your reply. I don't mean turrets. I don't think I was clear. They are not a block you construct your ship with. [/img] I mean actual blocks in the construction kit for crafting a ship. This could be used construct a Hanger Door that you could park a smaller ship in and have the door open and close. This could be a block you put on the center line of a ship and that one block can spin. You would make a line of blocks. One block in the middle of this line would spin around. Any blocks you attach to this central block would spin. You see it all the time in space movies and TV shows. A Ring that spins around the core. This would allow for artificial gravity(that might help keep your crew happy as a side benefit) Just a suggestion Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 thedamngod Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 There might be a limitation in the engine, which won't allow moving parts on the ship other than the turrets right now, but I can not say this for certain. My guess is that this suggestion will be off at least for the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Styxx42 Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that might be the case. Just a though. Back to mining Titanium. Good spacing people. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Sable Phoenix Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I really hope we get animation blocks like this. You know that someone (namely me) itching to create an Omega destroyer or Earth Force One from Babylon 5, and you can't do that without at least having a spin block.

0 Boxelware Team koonschi Posted February 1, 2017 Boxelware Team Share Posted February 1, 2017 Moving parts are out of the question, basically impossible. Sorry guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Styxx42 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Thanks for letting us knowKoonschi Maybe a modder can figure something out like they did in Minecraft. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SageThe13th Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Moving blocks are great for "action features" that look cool. But, their addition as a useful gameplay mechanic can be pretty dubious. Even if there weren't an engine limitation this one was probably best left to the modders anyway.
