Restarted my server a few days ago and tried to rebuild my old faction. When I tried to edit the faction ranks, the names of the ranks remained as the defaults no matter what I did.

This is still a pretty rough outline since I just thought of it on my drive to work, so I hoping for a brainstorming tag to help hash this idea out. There's already a good assortment of plants in Starmade that could be used as a basis for agriculture, but as it stands they don't really have a...

Okay, so I've been messing around with Lua for the past week and looking at the different Npc files that control their behavior with an Lua editor. Now I can basically alter what the TG merchant says in his text dialogs, what he sells, and the prices he charges, but just looking at the code can...

I love using templates, it speeds up the building process immensely. Though there areally a few improvements that would be simple to implement and make them better. I find that as I keep using them, they start to get a little disorganized, and looking for the one I want out of the dozens I've...

PMC Industries is now looking for ambitious employees; miners, salvage specialists, security, and builders are needed to expand the company into new systems and new servers. Apply directly on MDU (click on the banner in my sig, and vote if you like while you're there ;)), or post here if you'd...

I like the way thrust is handled in Starmade, but there are just a few things that bug me. First off, decelerating using LSHIFT is much slower than hitting reverse when you have your thrust set forward/back higher than the default. Do if you're going at top speed, it's all to often you...

"If humanity is the dim light in the recesses of this mostly dark universe, then what's out there that's can cast such a shadow that can darken the rest? Not sure I want to find out. Our nature as a species is constantly pushing us further and further out, and eventually we're going to find...

Here's what I was wondering; with the new cargo update just around the corner, I was wondering if storage blocks would need to be linked to cargo areas to store things? The reason I'm asking is because I have plenty of personal storage blocks in crew quarters, ships too small to have a cargo...

So had a idea about having beacons that broadcast messages to the chat window when they get picked up on scanners. Simple idea really, you scan a system and if there's a beacon within a few sectors it puts up a message in chat like "Eat at Joe's", "No Trespassing" or "Minefield ahead"...

Just curious as to what the community thinks on the subject of certain strategies, and what players consider greifing. I've made a few suggestions in other threads, and supported other suggestions that made many players cry out "but that would lead to greifing!" Namely upping damage and blast...

I'd love to be able to load custom skins on to my NPC, a station full of Daves is just plain boring. I've done up a bunch of custom skins, like security Dave, customs officer Dave, waitress Daisy, and doctor Daisy just to name a few, and would love to have them wandering around my station...

Hey all. I'm starting to set up Mostly Dark Universe for public access, but I have a question; Is there a way to disable admin spawn from the ship catalog? I logged under a different name, but I can still admin spawn any ship in the catalog. Maybe it's just because it's recognizing my IP...

So I've set up a basic launch catapult on my carrier that can send my basic fighter well beyond the flight deck with minimal effort, but unless I hold down the throttle it spins wildly out of control. I've got a single push beam right behind center of mass, would adding more push beams on either...

So I've been working on a torpedo bomber and managed to get things working pretty well with some help from people on the forums, but much to my disappointment, when I launched my first torpedo at a local pirate base it only destroyed 2 or 3 blocks. WTF? Those warheads used to do a lot more...

Okay, so I've been working on a torpedo bomber and I've come across a few issues: 1. Launching the torpedoes doesn't seem to be working. I've set up an inner ship remote for each torpedo which is slaved to the rail that the torpedo is docked to. Yet when I hit the remote on the hotbar, nothing...

So I've put in a fair amount of time playing around with my new shipyard, but one thing does get on my nerves a bit. Once you load a design, you have to travel to your virtual core on your holoship to enter build mode. Why not just go straight to build mode from the shipyard computer if there's...

Who wants to see more Metaitems? Got a new gadget in mind? How about some tradable commodities? Here's a few I'd like to see; 1. Lisences - buy a Lisence to get a small bonus for a limited time (or permanently if you pay enough). Could work for mining, trading, pirate hunting, and...

What's wrong in this screenshot? That's right! There are damaged blocks on the ship, but the HP and Armor are all full. I used the station repair to fix the damage, which reset the ship's HP and Armor based on the max for the number of blocks left, but damaged blocks seemed unaffected. Was...

Two ways we can do this; 1. Make a new block that jams jump drives. 2. Make EMP weapons drain charged jump drives. Always other ways of doing it, but we need some means of interdiction. If the devs already have something planned, then I'd love to hear about it.

Here's my dilemma; I'm working on a space restaurant style station, and I'm making some good progress as far as building the dining area, kitchens, washrooms, etc. As I'm building, a few things start to dawn on me; things that I have no idea how to implement or deal with. Here's a short list...
