I was thinking about a similar thing, except instead of using the regular antenna blocks a new one could be added that would add a considerable amount of mass, so putting 1 block on a ship wouldn't weigh it down much, but it wouldn't have anything near the communications range of a station which...

Maybe the key is to have the AI using these networks. Sure, you can get your faction on teamspeak or discord, but the AI fleets will only communicate over these networks. So, if a player wants to send out AI fleets and still be able to keep tabs on them, they'll be forced to build the networks...

I would really like to see something like Mumble 3d positional audio be incorporated into the game. People will always use whatever VOIP they want outside the game, but having one as part of the game allows strangers to communicate easily via voice. I have so many ideas about how these...

It was the same for me too. I could only use keyboard controls to move and resize the selection box. If the ship became turned at all I had to close out SMedit and open it again to get the correct orientation back. Just moving the box over to paste in the half of the ship took me a good...

Using SMedit you can fix the symmetry. Basically you have to select half the ship, copy it, delete the other half, then paste and 'reflect' it.

You could build a rough version of it in an older version of starmade and use SMedit to scale it to some different sizes so you can check them out in-game and decide what seems best.

It wouldn't be constantly weird gravity, it would just be rough ground in some areas, the 2 poles and 4 "sides" of the planet would be normal block orientation. I agree, the angled terrain wouldn't be perfect and warping has its issues as well. Is there some way to stack more and more voxels...

Having plates and multiple gravity fields is also very immersion breaking. Every time I jump from one plate and instantly snap to another, I feel bad about it. If the angles are the only problem, is there any chance the blocks of a planet could be warped to wrap around a spherical core?

We need some relative gravity in this game, so no matter what orientation, you always get pulled towards the planets core. Then we could have round planets. Things would get angled in some areas due to blocks being blocks, but I think that's better than a transition between multiple gravity fields.

There's a few blocks you need to do anything. I made a copy of the game a while back and set it up as hardcore as I could. You can craft most early game stuff no problem, but not everything. I ended up having to spawn in some power capacitors because I set no shops to spawn in the universe, so...

Make it so you can place down other cores, but only one can be active per ship, and then allow inactive cores to be removed.

I agree, fuel generation could be done like factories, call the block a refinery and only allow them to be placed on stations & planets. Feed the refinery crystals and other stuff, and then it slowly fills up the attached fuel storage blocks (similar to cargo space). Docked ships can draw out...

I don't know about the pirates, do they even attack empty ships? A friend left a small ship next to a shop on our server for months now, but we don't see many pirates in our system. You could always just spam a bunch of shields on it and hope the trade guild responds to any attacks, park the...

Park a ship with a transporter next to the shop.
