So... I've been thinking about something... Something AWESOME.
The Modding community have created plenty of interesting weapons of unique mechanics: Ammo eating, Pushing and Pulling, Even a prototype for the boarding mechanic! EVEN MORE (Or less. My perspective...) Dream up parts and features that could just make it in someday...
SO! Cosmoteer Staff! PLEASE, if you're reading this, consider this thought:
Why not have... A COMMUNITY PART IDEA CONTEST?
There should be two categories: CREATED and Conceptual. The two winners of each category should get to become parts of the vanilla game, after balancing and potential art changes. One primary rule would be: THE WEAPONS SHOULDN'T BE UBER TIER. Just something interesting and fresh. It could be one of your old things, or a completely new idea.
What Not To Make: Homing Ion Beam that penetrates shields and such.
What To Make: Something fresh and balanced. Like a new missile or something.
So, Developers, Moderators, etc, what do you think? Would this be a great idea? Or is it just a "Meh."?
