I always like more config options!

You can actually tweak the turn rate for ships AND turrets, but only for both together, and it leaves capital ships spending a LONG time turning around.

I have to agree with Vanhelzing: Diminishing returns for weapons to point the weapons toward their intended roles is the best solution to the whole "shields vs hull vs weapons" conundrum.

I think ship roles should be built into the ship by design, not by some magical pull-down menu. If you want 10% more firepower, install 10% more weapons. If you want a bonus to mining, install more mining beams. I do think that the game still does not support role-based combat very well...

I think this could be done more simply by a four panel animated block... just like the new charts. Making the block animation 3d would be too taxing, but I like the idea of customize-able animated effects. An additional item could be electrical arc blocks, animated blocks that are mostly...

One thing that I hope to see in the galactic map soon is designations for friend, neutral, or foe for stations. Optimally Factions could choose an icon from a list, or even upload one. The icon would change when the station changed on the galactic map from "unknown" to neutral or hostile...

As of the latest version of the game, I am unable to delete blueprints that I have uploaded to a multiplayer server.

I feel I have to stand up for this idea: there is nothing strategic about needing to carry several colors of hull: thinking strategically you can use any color you like and it will be just as effectively. If the game had different colors have different effects, THAT would be strategic, and I...

I just wish that the galaxy map had different icons, and maybe even customizable ones, so that you could pick from a list for your map to indicate your home base, or areas not to go. I also think that scan data (including ships) needs to appear on the galaxy map, with a menu to select which...

I think that block mass should be controllable in the block config file. That way, normal hull can have a mass of 0.1, standard can have a mass of 1.0, and advanced can have a mass of 10 (but make it server-configurable)

I believe it has in fact been stated that it is a possible upcoming feature. The news posts have been removed, but a special provision for mobile homebase ships with factories and spawners was stated.

Normally I am all about increasing server options, but in this case, I only see it being useful on servers where building is completely disabled. Since that is the opposite of what starmade is about (as I see it) I would assign this a minimal, if any, priority. Also, how would the game...

pirate stations DO drop loot, don't they?

In what ways are the config files modified for your server?

I want to throw out a HUGE +1 to ship graveyards. They could follow the same salvage rules as derelict stations, and spawn in the same space as asteroid fields. If you see one you like, buy it and fix it up. We should have another contest for default derelict ships.
