Aiming with that is a little bit tricky I suppose?

A Hardpoint should emerge totally to the main ship and can't be simple undocked at any time. Undocking it should at least cause an System-Reboot. Would be similar to the copy-paste templates, but could be as big as one want and have different faction permissions without having multiple entities...

Hydrogen Collector inspired by X-Rebirth (I don't own X-Rebirth, but found a picture in the internet) Length: 220 Width: 61 Height: 44 Mass: 6.186 It's only the hull fitted with basic power and thrust, also prepared for fast completion. It has a systemwide red-alert button and a button for...

Apearently the server SMEdit gets it's files from isn't working any more. To fix this, just unzip this into the /StarMade/third-party/SMEdit folder http://foetti.at/public.php?service=files&t=f73f4200c35cdd37604a573c52f812ae

Just let us slave the core to logic, receiving a high signal sends a left-click beam for one tick, receiving a low signal sends a right-click beam for one tick. Would be simple and does the job.

Yeah that would be what I expect from scanners, at least at short range. It would also be cool if scanners would find ships without pilot in them. At the moment it is impossible to find anything while travelling through the universe.

Make a bash script to start it. You need also an older StarMade installation (At least for me the newest doesn't work anymore) the latest 0.18xxxx should work When using SMEdit make sure to load a blueprint before importing an Object. This avoids failures. (Open->Default-Blueprint->any Isanth)...

You would at least have to reconnect the core with the weapon computer, and then, where would be the output of your weapon? Sure all doable. Maybe the weapon modules should just blow off inside your ship or at least the weapon computers.

Take the power from the ship the weapon modules are on. Half the damage output. Require 1 Emitter-block per 20 weapon modules. As always, values full configurable through the blockBehaviorConfig.xml That would push nice designs without reducing the balance. I wonder if that could also...

I'm often thinking about how the power system could get better. A damped oscillation sounds not so bad. But I think it would be better if we had several different powerblocks, some for smaller ships and some for bigger. If we use the current formula but reduce the cap to 750k or 500k and...

I've done this multiple times now, it's nothing impossible. We have also seen that schema is able to refactor the code and replace big parts with new algorithms. (Universe Update/ Turret-Rail Update) Only make sure the database is not the next bottleneck. Passing entities between the threads...

I have done this a while ago, with area triggers. Unfortunately, the smallest bump will cause the ship to slowly change it's direction. It ended up in flying through the universe on its own, after crashing into the station multiple times. As soon as we have magnetic rail dockers this could be a...
