    • Yes! But maybe rolling shouldn't deflect bullets.

    When fighting on planets/space stations/ships with gravity with hand weapons it gets kinda boring when you can only sit and walk(or tiptoe, walking a bit faster would be nice. ;) ) So I came up with some ideas for moves players could do to make it intense (and easy, you only would need three keys for controls (maybe J K L):

    Running) Very simple idea, get around faster, be a chicken easier. (Maybe ctrl key)

    Rolling) Like Cobalt! (a game published by Mojang) Deflect bullets off your back when you roll and get under small ledges! Rolling will roll you three blocks far (or to the bottom of a ramp.) (Maybe J key)

    Leaping) Like a jump but instead head-first-forward. Pressing the roll key when in mid-jump. (J key too but mid-jump)

    Crawling) Get into those enemy ships in a simple way. Those air vents they thought were only a mere decor, are now crawl tunnels! :D (K key)

    I hope these ideas get considerated. :) Meanwhile; give me some feedback in the poll above! :D

    Edit: You can check out Cobalt here, it should help you understand some of the ideas better.

    I guess atleast some of these ideas were already suggested.

    ...but anyway. I would love to see crawling. Just for the sake of air vents, jeffrey tubes, etc etc etc.
    Probably one of the reasons i liked Republic Commando and the new Alien vs Predators so much.


    Even though its not the primary focus of the game, starmade has a great FPS-potential. And atleast running and crawling would be nice just for the sake of moving around.

    I'm liking it a lot. It may not be for the default game. I'm thinking it would be a great mod. (Along with StarMatrix, StarDieHard, StarDoom, StarTeamFortress, StarCTF, etc., etc., etc.)

    Yes, with some proper on-foot combat mechanics and some survival content, there's a whole new side of starmade that could be created. I'd also like to see swimming, even if ships couldn't enter water just yet.

    Also, is it just me or do the key bindings seem a little silly and hard to reach?

    I disagree. It should be in the default game, not a mod.
