ScrumbleShip is the most accurate space combat simulation devised to date. Gather resources, construct a capital ship out of individual blocks, then pilot it with AI or human help against other players.

What ship would be complete without a hydroponics section?
Admittedly, we're a little behind the times - Is that DIRT those carrots and grass are growing in?

I love it! Perhaps this can be the cheaper, less productive version of hydroponics, whereas a high-tech, auto-irrigated version would be more expensive but more productive.
Regardless, I absolutely love it! Really makes me look forward to amenities and crew management.
I would love to see players actually design and build irrigation systems themselves. After all, hydroponics can serve as an infinite food source, so it would make sense if they were something requiring a little effor to build and maintain.
Also, a shameless plug here, but I would love to see the whipple hulls added to the game. It would finally allow us to build more practical ships.
Didn't Dirkson say he planned to add Whipple hulls, and that it'd even make sense for people to use them as the default hull building block? Pretty sure they're definitely going in.
I agree that people should be involved in designing and building their hydroponics. I'm not sure what form that should take, but it'd be cool.
Let's just hope that the window doesn't break open and expose our food supply to space.
Also, will we get cute little rabbits to eat our carrots?
Like in that movie, "Sunshine?" That ship was the most poorly engineered last hope of humanity ever. No redundancy, needless spinny parts, windows in a spaceship designed to snuggle up with the sun. If that POS was our last best hope, our species would deserve extinction.
And it was still one of the more scientifically accurate ships you see in fiction. Maybe they should have hired a few Scrumbleship players to design the ship for them.
Was it really? It seemed to have handwavium-powered gravity generators. At one point they fly into an airlock and punch the "equalize" button and then immediately fall to the floor when the airlock is pressurized. :-/ There was no nod to cooling (besides the magic sun shield), and the ship didn't seem bound by the laws of inertia, freely applying "air brakes" to stop.
My list seems nitpicky, but it's fresh in my mind because I just watched the movie last week and was hoping for some decently hard sci fi.
Yes, the ship would've been a lot better if the writers had hired Scrumblers as consultants! For starters, there would've been at least TWO sources of breathing air aboard humanity's last hope. :P
Considering it! Rabbits could infest a ship, chewing and destroying all sorts of valuable objects.
