Space Battles

Hey mike, suggestion:
If you post just to oppose a suggestion, quit the suggestions forum. It's borderline trollish I think and disrespectful.
That's my opinion at least.

No, it isn't trollish. The purpose of the Suggestions forum is to post suggestions and gauge community reaction to it. If negative feedback is driven out, then every suggestion would be favorably skewed, no matter how ludicrous, niche, or bad it is. I reserve the right to oppose suggestions and say "I don't think that works with RimWorld", especially when people are suggesting bolting a 2nd game onto RimWorld to make it work.

I completely agree. Every suggestion is subject to peer review, even good suggwations have bad elements, and some bad suggestions have small nuggets of great ideas. If they weren't up for discussion then it would be a suggestion box, not a suggestion forum.

It is disrespectful to the OP and I believe not in the spirit of a suggestions forum.
It doesn't add anything except perhaps making people dispirited and less likely to keep bringing up ideas. I know this because my profession is organizational counseling and there's statistics to that effect

However if you encourage people to make suggestions (by refining ideas, even those you don't like, just to be courteous) or at the very least keep unconstructive negative opinions to yourself, you're raising the overall quality.

Try it though, I think you'll like it better.

By that logic

I suggest pawns have the ability to turn into Sonic the Hedgehog that can shoot rainbow colored laserbeams out of their eyes as a natural weapon.

Is an unpolished gem of a feature.

We're free to state what we think is feasible and what is not. Some believe adding Stellaris to Rimworld for example, isn't. No matter how cool it sounds. No one is really being mean here and the community calls out assholes when they spot them.

First of all nobody actually suggests ridiculous crap so this is a strawman (well except for one poster who's name I forgot and his suggestions are actually purely brilliant. Like, one time he suggested to have flowers that start speaking to colonists and brainwashing them into using their DNA to multiply creating flower/human hybrids or something insanely fun like that. I wish I could find that topic just to bump it), and secondly, why would it hurt you to just ignore a suggestion you just don't like in any way and can't think of anything constructive to say about it? It's really incredibly simple, no? Easy for me at least.

I already do if I think it's not worthwhile.

Unfortunately, that isn't how it works for everyone. Tornadoes happen whether you like it or not. And people will continue to disagree with someone else's ideas.
So I suggest an alternative solution: If you think something is "unconstructive hate", report it and continue the discussion. Hopefully it's also easy enough for you.

why would it hurt you to just ignore an opinion you just don't like in any way and can't think of anything constructive to say about it? It's really incredibly simple, no? Easy for me at least.

Space battles would necessarily be a whole new game.  That being said, I think an idea of creating a random event whereby you could use your drop pods to take over a ship being guarded by the enemy as opposed to building one.  Basically, create a generated floor plan with different parts of the ship that need to be captured in order to control the ship.

I don't think it really fit with what rimworld is at the moment and while I do think its cool there are a hundred and one other thing I want to see first.

Hey mike, suggestion:
If you post just to oppose a suggestion, quit the suggestions forum. It's borderline trollish I think and disrespectful.
That's my opinion at least. If you actually have something to add or maybe think of how a certain idea can possibly work, even if you personally don't "like" the idea, then this is the right forum for you

That's not the way forums work nor is should work, the entire point of this suggestion forum is to discus pro and cons not be an echo chamber for feeling good about your ideas and it never should be, A forum is by definition a

1. A meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged:
'we hope these pages act as a forum for debate'

And in a debate there people are both for or against an idea, what you suggest is an turning this forum into a echo chamber where only support is welcome and I don't like that idea at all.

It is disrespectful to the OP and I believe not in the spirit of a suggestions forum.

I disagree, I'd say its disrespectful not to treat the OP like a mature individual capable of handling criticism or derision and I believe it is perfectly in the spirit of the forum to oppose idea you do not support.

It doesn't add anything except perhaps making people dispirited and less likely to keep bringing up ideas.

It does "add" in the sense that it help the dev's gauge the support a suggestion has and as Winston Churchill said

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

if someone post a suggestion, gets it shot down and never tries again, that is not anyone else problem but theirs.

I know this because my profession is organizational counseling and there's statistics to that effect

The way you say that with pride make me think of you as a PC-SJW or IMHO one of the problems of modern society, people are not special snowflake and in the grand scheme of thing nobody really matters.

Here the same message in song form.

However if you encourage people to make suggestions (by refining ideas, even those you don't like, just to be courteous)

So encourage people to by supporting ideas I'm opposed to? No thanks, I prefer a brutal honesty approach and if it hurt people feeling I'll tell them what my brother told me when I was 7, drink a cup of concrete and harden the fuck up.

or at the very least keep unconstructive negative opinions to yourself, you're raising the overall quality.

If you where talking about people replying to suggestion with stuff like "this idea sucks, no" or what not I'd actually agree with you but given that your talking about someone whom calmly and respectfully disagreed and said why they disagree you, IMHO, have nothing to stand on.

Try it though, I think you'll like it better.

No, I like saying what I think even if that hurts other peoples feelings, make no mistake hurting people is not the goal its just a side effect or collateral damage if you would.

Is that a perfect system? No but I think its a hell of a lot better then this modern "safe space" stuff.
