Idea for cable

I had an idea, what about the cable is used to connect yourself to a moving ship like a tether, use it instead of a jetpack to cling to a ship maybe give a little breather when catching a ship or little space walk.


(Yes cable idea came from zer0legion)

Naw, make it a lightsaber! ...or...a 'rapid deconstruction grinder tool'. The cable is a hydrogen hose...which supercharges your welder flame into a lightsaber for cutting up blocks (and other things). Make it a default tool, too!

hmm, thinking you mean taking the ship of another player without it's consent. Because it already exist with pistons and connectors. it is already an uncontrolable thing, good luke with this swing. But it will be an interresting mechanic.

if the purpose is cutting ship with a butter cutter string it could be turned to weaponery easily. i am not sure i want this... nobody will use other weapons XD.

And there is some thechnicals limits, you cannot cut blocs, only destroy them to cut the ship.

Also, connect separate grids with cable and you have terminal access and power shared. No antennas, no batteries at every light post, no connectors. Cables are cheap and allow connecting grids that are not perfectly aligned.


And, your engineer should be able to connect with a cable to any functional blocks to have access to its terminal while keeping moving with your character. More about it later in a dedicated suggestion I want to make :)

Now that's a good idea that was around for SE1 since times immemorial. And its big brother, the connector that can transfer items too. Hopefully Keen can make it work this time around.
