    Hello fellow stranded individuals.

    The title is almost self explanatory. I propose two new properties we can assign in config files to make certain chains of items possible while maybe restricting others. This would be awesome for everybody involved in editing configs while not bothering those who do not want to be bothered with it.

    But why? I would love to be able to create "secondary cores" to be able to give the game more depth and also balance differently, potentially even make CPU obsolete.

    For SV we could make a T2 detector which has 5 times the scanning range but prohibit any other offensive weapon than mounted gatling guns (maybe even the amount although i guess that would need a third property for items). For CV you could give container controller/drill turret/multi-turret/advanced contructor the property to disallow placing any other weapons than minigun turrets. This way we could create specialized vehicles in custom scenarios/servers.

    So, with 5x scanner range and a limited number of Gatling guns, you get what? More time to vamoose because you're out gunned? Of course! A scout! Dangerous derring-do. Excellent! Not my taste, but Excellent! I'm all for T2 scanners with extended range. I'm all for T2 Gatling guns w/ 30mm ammo.

    I'm also for more truss blocks. Trusses made of tubing. Trusses that take full color. trusses with more angles and curves.
