    Hey Starmade Freaks,

    ive played starmade for a while now, and there are some things disturbing the fluid Gameplay.
    More and more people telling me they want to leave SM for minor reasons.
    the most things i heard was like "why shine puts good stuff out of the game?"
    "maybe i play SM but only in singleplayer, because its to hard to get blcks!"
    In my opinion some of them just want to cry but some may be right.
    The following List are all little things, hoo are in the game nearly since one of the first versions and never get fixed. Or small things that would smooth the gameplay and should defenatily be in the game.
    I will update this list sometimes, when i think its essentiell to put something in.


    Playermodel:
    - It looks in a mirror direction when i use forward-left or forward-right, backward-left and backward-right.
    - Its not moving the Head sideways (just a minor thing)
    - little Gravity Problems for example, when you go from a planet-segment to an other it changes the direction, thats very confusing. Or when you jump out of a Buildblock.

    Blocks:
    - blocks should have a mass
    - there was a way let the serveradmins put customblocks in the game, for some reason this option was removed

    Weapon Systems:
    - some weapons ignore Homebase, shield and hull and deal damage to players hoo stand behind it, like the dmg radius of rockets and pulse

    Turrets/docking:
    - a turret can block the way behind walls. please change the movement for turrets
    - put an option in the config to need docking-enhancer for all/turrets only/nothing

    NPC-Factions/Ships:
    - Put an option for serveradmins in the game that the AI factions could use different Ships
    - the further i fly the more pirats and better equipped enemys should come

    Universe:
    - put an option for worldborders in the Game

    Equipment/leveling:
    - There is no way to get the weapons and helmet back when you loose it
    - Recepies were a way to level something, but now there is no way to level anything.

    PVP/Multiplayer:
    - Fix Battlemode. People not allways want to leave theyr Faction to enter Battlemode.
    save the Players Inventory when he enters the battlemode.
    For those reasons ive never played the BM on MP servers.
    - Give the People an objective, a reason to play SM instead of Farming all the day for a hand full of blocks and than again farm the rest of the day.
    give em something they have to flight or to fight for


    Please be kind when i forgot something but write it down in this thread

    Planets have not been optimized at all.

    Blocks do have mass? How else would the ships have mass?

    Any ship you create is automatically used by pirates unless specified otherwise. I believe the trade guild will do the same as well but is a different option.

    Crafting is going to get a second look.

    My thread for turrets :3

    By "blocks have mass" I think he means "blocks have mass the corresponds to their function realistically" like hulls have more mass than plexlight

    Player models, yes.

    There's flight mechanics too. The current ones... just no.

    there is no option to give the blocks a different mass. every block has 10 mass

    The Pirats use the same Blueprints as the TG and that should be fixed

    I am positive you can currently fix that yourself by allowing enemies to use blueprints and allowing other to use different ones. In the future we will be getting different ships.

    Correction: It is the opposite in default config: When you save a blueprint, it is unusable by pirates and trade guild unless you change the permissions for that blueprint. (Option: "Usable by Enemies" or something similar to that)

    there is no option to give the blocks a different mass. every block has 10 mass
    Correction: Every block has 0.1 mass, so 10 blocks give 1 mass.

    thats not the point, there is only an option to let NPC use a Blueprint or not. Dont matter if its Pirats, Trading Guild or Custom NPC Faction
    there is no option to seperate the diferent NPC-factions ist it?

    When they did the station contest, the idea to have separate ships was already brought up and addressed. Once they get around to it, they will have folders for pirates and TG alike.

    Hmm some of this are some things that could be improved but a weapons that can go through shields and destroy homebases seems a little overpowered to me since it could mean that it would be easy to just come along in a ship made in 5 minutes (probably longer if they wanted to make it an actual ship) and destroy a home base that could have taken weeks to build so that might be too overpower weapons that can go through shields same problem

    This wasn't removed more made un-usable. You can still do this, but the texture sheet that was designated to just mods @kupu decided he was going to steal >_>

    We are waiting on schema to add support for more. He has told me he plans to make it so clients can download the textures from servers soon aswell :)

    Not the Weapon does the damage, the area effect does the damage through walls and through shields no block got damaged only players
