Someone is finally making a addon so people can walk around inside ships!
http://www.facepunch.com/threads/108572 ... p=29629567
It's a fairly crazy way of doing it, but OverV is considering with Garry about adding it to the game if the beta works!
Of course, why have ship-to-ship infantry battles when you could just cover your frigate with as many types of pulse cannon as possible? But it should help with repairs and monitoring mining, plus give those nice interior core holograms more of a use!

I now have coke all over my computer screen.
I havent watched it yet however i'm guessing it creates a clone of the ship outside the map with you walking about in that and your camera set to a playermodel in the "real world"
Now we dont have to have ships that all fly "the right way up" like in star trek.
Inb4 Rotating ships!
I have an idea that uses the same methods as this in combination with one of Dubby's ideas to extremely reduce the lag caused by ships by removing most of their body entirely and instead placing a very simplified object in its place. (Dubby's idea has to do with a bounding box used only for world collisions.)

Information:
Read the thread but we NEED to wait till it has a fully stable release with the features we require before adding it,no good to have it half completed on the server
Suggestion2:
Expand Infantry battles as if the above addon is put on the server boarding parties will become a whole lot more fun so things such as infantary weapons which charge up via the LS addon would be required(A special "Charging Point" for energy weapons,a micro-factory for weapons that use hard ammunition) with advantages to each sort of ammunition.
If you like this point i could expand on it further with different ammunition types for each weapon.
Also we will need some sort of health boosting thing otherwise infantry battles will be over fast(Perhaps make cover more important on spaceships somehow and make it a rule that doors have to be openable in a ship?)
One thing I would love to see is a game on a map like Intergalactic-Funk with two Battlfield 2142 type Titans (level flying high altitude hovercraft with drop pods) fighting it out for some key locations. Maybe pre-assembled manufacturing plants some admins placed that have block holes at their core but some sort of method of regulated production.
I sort of like the idea of ground based combat with hovertanks and BF2142 Titans and such.
EDIT: Merging these threads, since they're essentially the same. Also moved to Suggestions.
Also, if this can be finalized with spacebuild, imma fixin' to make one of the first spacebuild maps with spherical properties. Just like RL!
Released
It's been on the servers for a long time, look for it when your in the server.
