The fixed shape of shields limits the shape you can build a ship if you want it all protected. A way to fix this could be make the shape of the shields be dependent on the shape of the shield blocks. If you build a 100 x 10 x 10 shield group, then the shield bubble would be elongated (prolate...

Currently, derelict stations give only scrap, despite their blocks being full health, and damaged blocks on overheated ships give the block. This is inconsistent. I propose salvaging be change to the following rules: -Damaged blocks will give scrap. -Full HP blocks will give the block. -Change...

So, I loaded up a ship I built six months ago, and all the rail doors, landing gears, etc. undock when i toggle the direction of the rails with logic. To be sure I just didn't screw up my logic, I built a simple mockup to test: The button is only linked to the flip-flop, the flip-flop is linked...

I've set up a server for some friends, and one is always getting extremely high ping (1000-10000). Both pcs are mid-high end gaming pcs, and the server is set to use 16 GB of the system's 32 GB of RAM. Other pcs have no problems, and the one with problems has no ping issues on other games, not...

Many of the options that are related are not in the same area: The server.cfg file should be changed to group all of the similar options together. This will make finding the specific option you want to change easier. It took me way too long to get my server's settings just the way I wanted them...

The power supply beam is useless to most players, especially after players have a base started. Most servers will either give you at least one power block when you start, and/or give you enough credits to buy one. Only hardcore servers where players lose their items and credits (and have to...

Change pirates so that they do not shoot at ships that have only thrust and power for their system blocks, only basic hull and decor. blocks as structure blocks, and are less than a certain mass (configurable in the server cfg file). Unless you are the only ship in the area; then they will still...

With upcoming NPC crew additions, I have a suggestion for another benefit to having them on a ship: Shipyards are capable of fixing damaged ships using a design, but having shipyards require a station. For nomadic players, or for ships too big for shipyards, allow NPC crew members to repair...

The original idea is Scypio's. His post (here) got me thinking about jump drives, and this is actually just a modification/alternate version of his idea. The distance one can jump using jump drives should be based on a ratio of jump drive modules to the mass of the ship. Also, times to charge...

Have an option to transfer a very small amount of cargo through teleporters. A player loads some items below a certain volume into their teleporter and select a target teleporter. Both teleporters must be public. Have one button to send the cargo to the other teleporter if it has enough storage...

Make shops sell items from a linked cargo area. This way, shops can sell products from your factories without you having to manually transfer them, and any raw materials someone sells you can be used by factories.

For small ships that were built for looks, it becomes annoying having to replace any aesthetic rail parts after a battle that lowers the ship's shields below 50%. For example, a small fighter that has its windshield on rails (like a Star Wars X-wing) and/or landing legs on rails often needs to...

What is currently in the game: -Derelict stations give only scrap when mined. -Overheating ships can be salvaged, and all salvaged blocks (full hp or damaged) are returned as the blocks. My proposed, new system: -If a ship is overheating, then the damaged blocks return scrap. -If the ship is...

With the new update, you can now board and capture ships. I'm curious how many people do.

Is there a way to upload a picture as a signature from my hard drive instead of using a URL? If not, is there a site someone could recommend I could upload my image to in order to get a URL for it? If there is a thread that already explains this, could you instead just put a link to it here? I...

I recently had some issues with my Starmade game, so I uninstalled it and re installed a newer version, thinking the bugs would be fixed in the updates. The old version I was using was v.0.1885 and the new version was v.0.189997. The new version was causing flickering textures, so I updated all...
