Placeable Item

I would like to see a new tool/weapon added to the player's abilities - the placeable item

It would have the following properties:


  • "Sticky" ie it can be attached to any block within reason (ie not the rear of a thruster)
  • Can be attached to both friendly, neutral and enemy grids
  • Doesn't appear in the ship terminal list of blocks


Some possible items:

  • C4: Explosive that can be remotely detonated
  • Tracking device: Allows a grid's location to be broadcast/tracked
  • Anti Personnel Mine: Explosive that is triggered when walking on it.
  • Proximity mine: Explosive that is triggered when near it.
  • EMP device: Disables the block its attached to until removed/destroyed. Alternatively disables blocks in an aura/radius around it.


To remove a placed item the owner could pick it up. If not the owner, it could be grinded or shot.


The system could use the new 25cm blocks as the backend for the placeable item ie internally it could be essentially a variant of a 25cm block.

Great idea but I think a similar system could be created without creating a new sub category of items if they allowed antennas to broadcast at specific frequencies. Say a three digit code and you can only see broadcasts if you antenna had the same code.

That way, you build whatever version you want.

  • C4: Warhead with battery and antenna
  • Tracking device: battery and antenna
  • Anti Personnel Warhead with sensor and battery, so this one is already doable
  • Proximity mine: Warhead with sensor and battery, so this one is already doable also
  • EMP device: This one we would need a new block for.

That's not a bad idea as well.
