It's not about how they look and the generic idea is pretty much what you see there. The details can always be discussed but the basic idea is what I wrote there. It also prevents as I wrote flying borg cubes because the weight limit does not allow it. It also makes better armored ships bigger automatically and heavier armored vessels harder to move. This way things auto-balance themselves when it comes to size/armor/speed ratios.

I thought nominating means supporting it (like in the vote above) ...

of course you support it when you nominate it
but no when you nominate something
i put it on the nominations list
then modarators check if its possible and if it would fit in the mod
then people get to vote if it gets in or not

because nobody nominates i tried to spark up the discussion and let you chose wich of these ideas would be nominated
but if you directly nominate your idea
this is useless

normally you shouldnt be able to nominate your own ideas but its an old good idea
that didnt have resistance so i accept it if you nominate

but then you have to do it
just say I NOMINATE THIS IDEA so everyone will see that you nominated it and i can put nominated behind the topic name

your nomination has been noticed and put on the list
your idea stands for all of the armor ideas for as long as your idea is on the list all other ship armor ideas that will be posted will be ignored

No. That's a terrible idea. What if someone else comes up with a better way of doing it?

he just has to remember it untill the voting for the current idea has taken place at that moment he can tell his idea to stop people voting yes
i hope the process from nomination to execution when up and running wont take more than a day
but for that to work you guys have to check the notes topic look on the nominations list
and think if it is possible

at this point we have 5 moments you could abort
1 directly after posting the idea
2 directly after nominating and before i take it up [if someone nominates i will wait a couple of minutes so people can object]
3 modarators can object when it is on the nominations list
4 modarators can object when looking in to the actual making of the idea
5 people can object when voting for the idea
i think i give people enough opportunity to object and lets keep in mind that the constant rethinking of ideas has got you/uss nowhere
if we have a basic mod we can always change things

There's no option for individual block HP.

We decided nothing conclusive. This is a pretty important aspect of the mod and several members of the community have pretty varied opinions of how it should be done. The vote hasn't even exposed a winner among the few ideas listed.

if you look a few post up you would see someone nominated a good idea
so that idea gets the first place
if its rejected other idea may try
this is because we can have eternal discussions in wich we forget and rethink over and over again
so if you dont like it complain in the notes topic of the notes forum
again this topic is closed

Wait, why doesn't that idea go to the pole? I'm not following this logic train you have here.

hrhhrhhhheh

I have absolutely no idea where this train is headed.
