i had a very small idea flying round my head, and in itself it wouldnt be worth an own thread.
so lets just collect small things that would be fun to have in the game but which would not take much time to neither implement nor balance.
my small thing of the day is:
Gear changes.
it may seems silly at first glance but i think it has some value.
say you want to dock your ship, which requires some fine maneuvering which you cant get (assume a mouse and keyboard player) with your simple WASD keys for maneuvering.
so you could "change gear", redefine where your 100% throttle setting stops.
i have more or less 3 settings in mind.
"full gear", which lets you throttle up to the maximum that your current energy allocation allows.
"drive gear", which limits your throttle just below the "jump point" of your drive,
as such keeps you below cruise drive speeds (reference link for the "jump point" stuff)
and
"parking gear" which limits your throttle to a (configurable) low amount, say 20% of your maximum thrust
to provide you with the necessary fine controls to do precise maneuvering.
ideas? critique?
other small ideas that would fit in the thread?
