Wow a thing which everyone has been doing since power 2.0 dropped and is one of the major contributing factors to all those players leaving.

The only solution to power that doesn't force a hull configuration upon players (and thus create a breed of metaships) is pure blockspam power reactors. Do we even need "complicated" power mechanics? Nobody has ever complained about the dozen other systems that are pure blockspam. We don't even...

I'd rather see the light blocks have a dimming slider inside a gui in the light block. Don't want to bloat block counts.

If all of the updates (less than a dozen major content patches!) since the original weapons update had come out in within two years (compare to minecraft beta's development cycle), nobody would really give a shit about how bad they were since they would have been largely fixed within a month or...

This is a suggestion for a new block called the Advanced Factory Controller. This block allows you to control your different factories much easier, and streamline mass manufacturing. The basic concept is that the block is connected to your factories, and the advanced factory controller GUI...

Ay lmao

Absolutely. Most of the old players worth knowing are gone. Many of the old faction leaders and countless no name pillars of the community. We are left with a husk of a community that for some reason concentrated the trolls and aggressive communitykillers. Some of these people were even...

I was honestly thinking about redoing beams to be the goto midrange weapon, but give them a slight falloff curve. Beam/beam would have no falloff at a dps tradeoff. Remember that over the space of 10 KM you could easily dodge a bullet or shoot down a missile. Is that interesting enough for you...

stuff I'm linking to google docs because of it's ease of use and the fact that SMD's pentium is still on fire.\ here's a transcript: A Total Revamp of Combat Global changes: All weapons now gradually consume their energy while reloading as opposed to instantly consuming it when you fire...

Yeah 5 million mass is really big. I like the rest of that though. Unfortunately I do not have the capital to make it a reality.

Some of you may know about aurora 4X, and that is pretty much my vision for fleet command without the shit ui and insane amount of micromanagement. Task Groups and Fleet Command This is my rough idea of the new fleet command window. At the bottom are a bunch of options for manipulating Task...

A server that is limited to only the starter galaxy, has a mass limit of 5 million, a speed limit of 75 m/s, and makes swarm missiles only shoot one missile at a time. Additionally, it has a 10x mineral bonus. FLEET WARS

You know competitive smash has a huge playerbase and there aren't any stupid flame wars even though everyone is always fighting. Other forums including reddit don't have this issue. What about this game attracts so many people who just want to run around being pricks to everyone all the...

IGN-canadianbacon Why you want to join the server-build stuff and talk to people Example of your work-http://gfycat.com/ComplexDapperDogfish Your favorite type of cake-POUND CAKE

Again, I'm sure these limits to the jumps drives are completely intentional to prevent players from taking their battlecruisers across the galaxy in half a second. How do you transport an NPC base? I'm not at all against the idea of having AI miners or even LUA scripts. However I don't think...
