shipyard station

[barren pike]

a POI where you can rent a plot and build your own ship in some sort of creative mode, and depending on the plot size and how big the ship is, that would go into what the final cost would be. as it would be a non standard ship, it would cost more than what you can get in the regular shipyard consoles, so it would be gated to the endgame players with a lot of money. these ships can also be sold for the same % of what regular ships are resold for...maybe less for balance

would allow players some creative freedom with their choice of ship, and gives new players a potential goal to achieve

that would be fucking amazing

Smth to add onto this, allow use of your own materials to reduse costs

[barren pike]

yessssss

[terse wyvern]

And the ability to 'save' a ship template locally (Though that would be a hell of a lot of coding to get to work)

Should take 4 times the mats as well so you can't just print a super massive ship with only 500 steel

[hot basalt]

No

That sucks

I build my own ships which take alot of steel already

And plasteel

Like

Alot

[pale hornet]

You can easily gather 4000 steel in a hour

[hot basalt]

Yeah

[pale hornet]

It would invalidate the pricing

[hot basalt]

I could see like

2x

Basically justs smth to make a ship easier

So you dont spend like

2 hours making a ship by hand

[pale hornet]

Yeah but the point is so late game money spending

[hot basalt]

Ehhh

I want to be able to mine for like an hour or 2

And then just build a ship

Smth cool

And not spend another while building on my current ship

[pale hornet]

SMH just spend 35k per plastinium wall

[hot basalt]

...

Drakon costs like over 100k with plastit walls

If that was the case

Itd be like 5 mil

[pale hornet]

Ship modding is busted as hell

And I'm assuming you're hiring people to build

[hot basalt]

Lol i wont ever be

People dont know how i build

I also really ought to map... feel like id be good with it with the baller ships i make

[pale hornet]

There also should be classes where you can only use specific weaponry on your ship

Ie
Bounty hunting ship gets emps

Capital ship gets 220mm cannons

Fighters get big jets for movement
