    I was perusing the forums a bit lately, and Ive noticed a rather large missing type of forums heading. it occurred to me that we really don't have a place to talk about the features of the current game state, or specific problems with it.

    I have often made my criticism about the docking system quite clear. my feelings is that any feedback what so ever, including suggestions on changing or attempting to fix it, does not belong in the suggestions section, and that has never changed. but recently when I posted about it, I discovered that it was also out of place here in the general discussions section as well.

    We do actually need somewhere to do this exact kinds of discussions. For the things that are already in the game. The suggestions section, is for either upcoming features, or to address the possible additions, (not fixes) to them. and that is no place to discuss systems already in an official capacity out in the stable builds. when they are at this point they need to be considered as part of the actual game.

    we need a feedback section to talk about the fixes to existing systems so that the aforementioned forums isn't bogged down by unnecessary threads on systems that are not likely to receive attention any time soon. which usually are the things already in the game. look at how long the crafting system took to be redone. I'm not saying new ideas are bad, but we need to move forwards with new ideas, and let the old ones go somewhere else.

    We need a forum where you can post everything you want and get exactly 3 feedbacks from different users.

    Post a thread-idea and you get enqueued in a list of upcoming threads.

    The oldest three are visible in any forum or above all forums to get players replying to it (everybody can only reply once)
    you can only get rid of it by replying.
    you can only have 1 thread-idea there until your previous gets it's 3 replies (to give everybody equal chances)​

    Once one of these reach 3 replies, they get hidden from public, so that the poster can decide whether to modify this idea, post it in a public section or just throw it away (when he got an answer).

    For these upcoming threads, likes and dislikes, etc should not be possible, except per reply (like with PMs).

    If you want to keep a reply on repost, you have to quote it. One person relying doesn't sees the other replies to avoid peoples replying to each instead of giving a true feedback.

    as much as I appreciate that your intent is to help. I think your approach is slightly off.

    lets live by my favorite rule K.I.S.S I think you can understand what that means right?

    This Isn't a hey lets rebuild the forums into this huge automated idea factory. This is simply asking for a new forum header to organize our efforts into more helpful format so we all can use it as a tool to get where the game needs to be. lets let cooler heads prevail and do what is best for all of us, not just everyone's interpretations of their egos personified by what everyone else is doing wrong.

    We do need a special forum for the good ideas. Right now the suggestion forum has way too many almost completely identical suggestions. (Take the overflow of universe suggestions for example.)

    Maybe a "General Questions & Feedback" next to a "General Discussion of Good Threads" and "General Discussion of good Suggestions" would be sufficient.
    :D

    just don't think about making a hierarchy like
    Forum / Suggestions / Balance / thread-forum
    Forum / Suggestions / New Features / thread-forum
    Forum / Suggestions / Make it cooler! (invisible note: acts spamfilter for immature people's threads) / thread-forum
