What is the worst thing Schine could add to the game?

    Make there be a 1k mass limit that you need to pay a monthly subscription to pass. Every 5$ per month gets you an extra 1k mass.

    If they made the sundamage affect the entire system

    To be honest, would be pretty darn nice to have if you're flying near a super massive blackhole (aka the center of each galaxy) :P
    Space is supposed to be dangerous!

    That'd only work if Schine would stop spawning us in the center of the galaxy. :P

    Adding minning AI and glitch it in next update so it's completly unusable... Hey, wait a second...

    All of your AI drones and turrets need to be paid in credits and/or faction points or they shut down.

    Pay to win, microtransactions, or monthly subscription fees.

    Tribbles.

    Actually, no. Flying near a supermassive blackhole does not cause random bits of damage to random places on your ship.........it will literally stretch your ship into an infinitely long chain of atoms. In a process called "spaghettification". And yes, that is a scientific term. But first, your ship will most likely be ripped roughly in half, as the gravitational forces are different at the front from the back (Tidal forces hate starships, my friend).

    The radiation exposure you'd be getting could well be loads of fun, though.

    We assume ships are always radiation shielded in SM. Otherwise everyone in SM would be dead of exposure. NOBODY spends enough time on planets vs. time in space...not in a game where the planets lag and space is better.

    But, normally, yes, the microwaves/x-rays/and the oh-so-much-fun gamma irradiation might just turn you into a crispy mess of dead faster than you can say "Infinite fall into the depths of a supermassive black hole".

    That said, with radiation shielding, the tidal effect will get you first. Followed by the crush of gravity....if spaghettification doesn't kill you first.

    I've seen plenty of videos on how black holes work my friend...But this is Starmade, a game where everything is a bunch of 1m³ cubes (except for some models/sprites), where there's a speed limit that is not even remotely close to light speed and where our Dave is being mindcontrolled by someone in a parallel universe with a device called a computer.

    If you want accurate representations of black holes, you would need to buy another "game". I'm not even sure if there is one at all since eventually those tidal forces will even rip atoms apart...(EDIT: As in, no way any PC on Earth could simulate that real-time...)

    Also, super massive black holes are actually relatively safe regarding tidal forces, it's those small black holes you gotta watch out for. You'll be dead in those before you even cross the event horizon.

    We could also keep the current black hole system, waaaaaay more realistic right?

    The one where gravity, radiation, time dilation, and physics in general all don't apply? Yeah sure, why not.

    That said, to improve black holes, I'd want to see at least something that causes immense damage to armor HP/ship HP immediately, (As your ship gets stretched slightly and loses integrity) and has the capability of splitting a ship apart. That or just consuming massive portions of the ship (The parts facing the black hole) as if entire sections have been ripped away by gravity.

    Hehehe, "relatively safe". Relative to other black holes, SURE! Relative to, say, average Earth-bound catastrophes? Not so much.

    It would be also nice to have some decent black hole graphic... Not the current colour donut.
