    Feature Request - Cause Damage With Ship Collides with Objects

    This request is based on the following bug report that was marked as not a bug. I'm hoping it can be addressed as a new feature instead.

    Build: v1.5.3 3390
    Mode: Survival
    Mode: Singleplayer

    SERVER NAME: Singleplayer
    SEED-ID: 59757

    If Applicable:
    MODIFIED PLAYFIELDS: No

    Reproducibility: (Always, Sometimes, Unable)
    Severity: (Trivial, Minor, Major, Crash)

    Type: Realism Error

    Summary: Colliding with Station Does No Damage

    Description: Colliding with Station Does No Damage

    Steps to Reproduce: Take CV into space. Turn off shield. Find a station and go to full throttle until you hit the station. Although the ship stops immediately, indicating the collision was detected, no damage occurs to either the station or the ship. This may be the current expected behaviour but it's not realistic. This may also already be on the development road map, but I thought it should be logged in case it is not.

    Given how easy it is to get ships stuck in one another right now, and the meshing issues in general(as well as ships getting stuck in the 'earth/planet') I don't think this would work well

    Ivel - completely agree there are bigger issues that should be addressed first, but have you played any other space games where ramming a ship doesn't cause damage (at least to the player's ship)?

    What other space game is like Empyrion and has collision mechanics that you speak of?
