So, maybe communication ends up being zone based for some things like communication and news travels via actors outside of the zone. Higher level communications could maybe be system based and those would propagate to other systems by actors. That is cool with me. So you attack a ship and it sends o...

This might make it hard to recruit for combat missions early game if you have low level missions that do not yield many credits so you don't have much to offer to recruits, no history to speak of, and no real standing.

4. I am X, doing Y/transporting goods from A to Z You could never get specific like this with rerecorded voice acting. Names for everything in the game are randomly generated. Still not really sure why you couldn't have a mechanical voice. A voice that is meant to sound mechanical because it is com...

Once you have a supply of Super Steel, rather than producing a whole new blueprint you simply introduce it at the construction process. All new items produced with that process now use Super Steel rather than steel, and their stats get the appropriate bump or penalty as appropriate. I like this bet...

Having real intelligent non-scripted NPCs that have their own drive, goals, and some real power and assets to make it really happen... This going to set LT apart in a huge way. A WISH It would be cool if you could procedurally generate some basic message based conversation system. One between NPC & ...

that is nice...

I have been reading the dev blogs and, I have to say, they cover most of this. You should check them out. I started back on January this year and I am nearly current.

Maybe it could depend on what the bridge was design to transport. Maybe it is a conveyor that sends processed material from a refinery to a manufacturing station. In that way only, they are seamlessly linked together.

if the distance is small you could have some sort of tram tunnel connect the two.

I think the HUD could be robust enough to offer up the information with just an informative beep for a sound effect. Skip the expensive and most often lack luster voice acting all together. A range of sound effects that denote the type of warning or notification and a HUD indicator where you can get...

How about little drone like cargo sleds that ferry inventory from one cargo hold to another. As long as both ships have drone bays and at least one or the other have cargo drones than they can complete a cargo to cargo transfer in space. X rebirth has this when capitals that can't dock but still tra...

Since the ship models were supposed to be procedurally generated, then maybe they could create a ship builder in to the game. One that allows you to modify the ship's appearance on the fly by tweaking some sliders that are linked to the generator's attributes? The ship attributes like size and hard ...

Minimally, I'd like to see a station anchored above a planet be the focal point for the planet. The station would control trade and provide services for the colonists. You could request the colonies you own to settle in certain locations and focus on certain resources over others, but the management...

Skills as modifiers to actions. TBH, I think this is unnecessary and only makes sense in multi-player games, not SIMs. Skills that unlock, in a similar way as research, giving the ability to preform certain actions such as pilot larger class ships, launch probes, or unlock additional trade offers mi...

I've given thought along these lines as well (ships acting as stations) and like the idea. It's quite feasible, I think, since Josh plans to implement a "market module" that allows ships to trade goods, I believe. Presumably both ships and stations can have this module, and you could imagine a ship...
