Ship Blueprints

[Bobman]

they should really make a way for us to save and share ship blueprints with each other, or at least just let us save so we don't have to rebuild our ship every time we go through NG+

In principle, you can post explosion schemes from the ship builder. just disassemble your ship in a meaningful way, take a screenshot, and post that. But that's somewhat tedious work...

to do this, you need at least 1 shipyard (my vote, the outpost one) that has every module. Otherwise, it would be borky to tell it to re-create from a blueprint that needed special items from specific locations.

while an exploded view would be cool, IMHO for MOST ships you could just post a top, bottom, left, right, front, back series and it would be enough to re-create for people who recognize the parts easily. It would still be a problem (exploded or not) to do that for a novice who didn't recognize whether a part was structure vs fuel tank or whatever.

I expect this will happen where players can download blueprints.
Still early days but sure, definitely will happen.

Blueprints would introduce some edge cases that would need to be accounted for and handled well.

Did you know you can duplicate modules at any shipyard even if that shipyard doesn't sell the module it still let you duplicate it as long as you have one to duplicate.

That doesn't always work though (for me).

I loaded my wife's account thru Steam and built her a ship. When she loaded her account back on her PC thru Steam the new ship was not there. We tried various saves and file shares and nothing worked. I finally had to stand behind her chair while she built the ship. It was the first time that she had used the ship editor and I am not a patient man, poor thing, I had her completely stressed out by the time the ship was completed. She loves the ship and still fly's it.

I had ships dissappear in my game too, before I went to NG+ I could only have 4 ships, everytime I would get a 5th ship one of my other ships would dissappear. An annoying bug, but NG+ seem to fix it.
