Alright, so I saw a topic below that kinda got what I was thinking, about Multi-Block Weapons and the like. But what I propose is a bit smaller scale, so to speak. The idea comes in two parts:
The first would be a sort of mini-voxel based creation system, where you can essentially build blocks. What I mean is, a way to create something like a cockpit, or a thruster, or a cannon. I understand that, upon release, there will be blocks like this available, and they can be manufactured and sold, just like ships and other resources. However, eventually someone will come along who wants something more. So I had the idea that one could go into a sort of "creation chamber", a place where they can test designs without fear of losing resources, and use smaller voxels to create a new ship part, that can be then sold as a standalone part and attached to ships. I don't know if this was the intention from the beginning, but I would really love feedback on this particular idea
The second part to the mini-voxel system simply goes down in scale. Rather than being able to just create parts for your ship, it could be possible to create certain handheld items. In particular, for the purpose of war. I know this game isn't meant to be a first person shooter or anything, but I also am aware that there will be instances where pilots would like to kill one another on foot, or where a group boards a large ship and they require a means to fight the crew and disable the ship systems. Perhaps, with this mini-voxel system, someone might create a plastic explosive or a shaped charge, and it can be manufactured and sold so that disabling or entering ships is easier.
