Spaceship crafting beta feedback

Published on Saturday, October 21, 2017 By TheColourOfHeartache In Founders Starbase

I just created by first space ship and here's various random thoughts that occurred to me through the process: 

  • The sliders for scale and rotation were quite tricky to get to the exact number I wanted. The ability to type would be helpful.
  • Similarly an ability to click a piece, click clone and then click a new mount point to get one with the exact same values would be nice. So would a mirror button so if you wanted to have, e.g. a wing coming from either side of a central body you could do that automatically. 
  • I wasn't keen on the way the outfit screen added additional parts. Especially since I went with an unusual design so the weapons/thrusters didn't fit visually. I'd much rather you just tagged specific parts and said this is the primary weapon etc. 
  • When I tested the final ship I ended up flying backwards. It would be nice if we had some way of controlling which side is the front.
