I want an API that will send data from the ship sensors and stuff to create cockpit type events. The Journal is fine but lacks some functionality. I want real time of shield strength and hull damage as well as heat damage. Right now you just get heat at 100% and 150%. Shield is either up or down. Hull damage at certain %. Would also love the ability to have the target, comm, role, and system panels up on different screens, with ways to control them. Counts on different types of ammo remaining. Right now you only get numbers of ammo when loading the game. So for you to know how many heat sinks are left you have to keep track in your own programs logic and take into account the game logic to keep it accurate. (Yes I know its on the screen as part of the HUD but I want a count right by the switch that fires the heat sink.
VR is gaining popularity, and so this may mean that motion simulators could become more popular as well, especially with these very ingenious motorised bin lid seats that have been Kickstarted. Do you think we'll ever get APIs for the data needed to drive these motion rigs?
