Brain, I also thought about a radar module, the other ships do already emitt radio emissions to show you where they are. But if we had a few stealthy ships that were silent on the radio, radar would become pretty cool :D

Hey Brian,

I’m starting to think that some sort of map would be a good idea, but my idea for this is a little different. Hopefully I’ll get to try it out in some rough form next week.

Also, I’d like to suggest that your ship has a certain energy level, which can be refilled by collecting fuel canisters dropped by destroyed enemy ships, or by equipping solar panel modules.

As an addendum to my last comment, the radar could also be convex or somewhat bulb-shaped like Doppler weather radars. I suppose it does not necessarily need to be shaped like an antenna.

I suggest a radar if that is a possibility. Perhaps it could be a module such as the guns and boosters. A wide concave shape with a rod protruding from the center should suffice. When you do not have it equipped, you cannot view the radar. When you do have it equipped, you can view the radar.

That is very exciting, will be useful that if you have to escape from a ship you can then circle round and find the debrie from the earlier battle still there, after you have lost that other ship!

pernament space stations sound cool, will give the locations in the game a sense of space and player could actually explore space and come back to areas they recognise!

and other ideas? please say it will be planets, stars and other intresting stella objects :D

It would be awesome to build your own spacestation xD

Dunno how it would work though…

space stations for docking and repairing your entire ship?

Space stations.. ..and then have them pop out cargo pods?

you could probably go a step further and pick a random ship/station/universe sector and simulate it for a couple seconds, and do it one at a time.
would certainly add some life to the universe.
