Physic-Blocks - moveable on Player Command or linked to Boost/Engine/Shooting etc.

[anonymouz]

its possible with turrets, so there must be a way to make this possible for the ship itself

 

blocks that can spin freely or fixed on an axle - rotators or hinges

they could be activated automatically when linked(so we need a link option aswell) to events like boosting, shooting, manoeuvring/using the thrusters, if you found enemies in the sector(red marked ones) etc. - and they could be activated by the player itself via command or key

it would be ok to restrict these physics blocks to like 4 per build(maybe ship builds only aswell, no stations etc.) in terms of performance

or cap them via overall blockcount(like under 20k blocks = 4 Physic-Blocks / 30k blocks = 2 Physic-Blocks etc.) if theres no better solution

they could even be restricted further with like only 2 spinning blocks only, 2 hinge blocks only etc.

they should have more axles options like 22,5°, and the player should be able to adjust min and max movement,

maybe if its not too performance hungry, physic blocks could also be blockable by other non-physic blocks of the build, if the build is planned that way etc.

just make it somehow happen ^^

I'm pretty sure devs said already that they won't make such blocks
