Our current multiplayer tournaments are currently based on a considerably strict point system, FYI, and we only use stock weapons and stock sections. Though it's much more of a hassle I still have this nagging feeling that your ship ranking system can and will be abused. We'll find a loophole somehow.
One of my suggestions, after messing with the editor for a while, is for there to be a difference between a weapon's range at which it starts firing, and how far the shots themselves actually fly. That way one could create a somewhat more realistic bullet weapon with high-lifetime shots, but due to its "spray" tendencies you can set a more sensible range at which it knows it can be fired accurately.
Reading this thread, I think I saw something suggested to this effect already. Just not in such detail.
Also, as a general game play complaint: less asteroids please. Such masses of small asteroids is both annoying and unrealistic. Really, if asteroids were to be involved in combat, it would be something more to the effect of a single, large, stationary obstacle, as opposed to a bunch of small ones. And this obstacle might not damage you if you don't hit it at high speeds. It also might come apart piece-by-piece much like the ships, rather than simply splitting in half after taking so much damage.
The implication here is that while random small asteroids might not come randomly flying onto the battlefield, one could intentionally blast chunks off of the large asteroid to achieve a similar effect, preferably in such a manner as to where they fly into the enemy.

I'd love to see the shipbuilder use a layering system, much like Flash.
Shipbuilder kinda uses it with the Depth, but it would be great to select the option only seeing everything from a certain depth downwards. I think it would be pretty helpful, and ridiculously useful.
he means a "vampire beam", ship one is damaged, and has this beam, fires at ship two, ship two gets damaged, ship one repaires.
expanding on this idea, how about a module that can steal power from enemy modules, and give it to one of yours? also, perhaps a module that collects all the damage done to your ship in a certain amount of time, and when that time is up, releases it to damage enemy ships in an effect similar to a driver wave? could also make it have the targeting ability to only absorb damage from a few or one section.

Hmm, would be interesting only if it worked with beamers. Perhaps some sort of drawback, perhaps disabling your shield systems when it fired.
- making ship parts have a 2nd masterd part possible.
(so when you have 2 rows of blocks and 1 part in the middle breaks that not the whole row has to collapse but it makes the 2nd row master of these blocks)
-Make blocks be rotating in the game and also the blocks and weapons that are connected with it.
(so you could make things that looks like claws or flying wings or rotating platforms)
- Make a laser sword like weapon that has a 2 cm long always active laser that does big dmg when it hits thru the enemy ship.
(like spikes thats on the hull roaming thru the armor when it collosions with the enemy)
- And what about a module that heals the power of other modules like the way the healing block heals ship parts but then for power.
- And what about a spawnpoint on big ships that makes them able to spawn some smalls ships. Like there is a hangar with 10 small fighters in it.
(so that would be like you add a spawn point, you add the name of the ship it would spawn from there and in wich direction with the ship, and the createdelay between each spawn,(there should also be a setting like startingclipsize that makes the number of ships that can spawn on the start, the reloadspeed for creating new ships at a moment, and a reloadclipsize for how many ships there are created on the reload))
(so like a weapon that can shoot 10 bolts at the first time, but afther that only shoots 1 bolt at a time)
Something minor, but would be helpful. The ability to specify a certain file path to where the screenshots are saved, rather than scattering them around the BSF folder.
Idea for a new module: We need a jump drive jamming module (dieterling jammer). basically, any ship inside the module's range would be unable to jump, and no ship would be able to jump to a location inside module's range either. also, the module could have separate ranges for both, or each function could be a different module.
