But since we allow Titans to cloak, that would mean they could stay cloaked despite being hit for a rather long time. I mean, at the end it's more or less a matter of how it "feels" and maybe how easily a a fighter can cloak while being shot by turrets. Gameplaywise it probably wouldn't be that...

I've suggested auto-uncloak on getting hit in my system as well, just after three instead of one hit. Essentially, when you hit the shield, you still see the animation of that (just without the ship uncloaking), so at least you know you hit "something". Then after the third hit, it uncloaks...

I was aware of that one, so let me reword it: A new Star Map that fits the system I talked about better. Stargates: By mass, not size, I meant eliminating the need to build a ring to fit the ship through. For the one way Stargate, as you can see in my original post above, it was meant to be a...

Well, okay, the tl;dr-version: Better movement to bring more strategy into combat. Jump drives with just a computer instead of additional blocks. Stargates that are not limited by size, but by mass. One-way beacons that you can only travel to from a stargate, but not the other way round. A star...

Well, one has to admit that the current system is a bit lackluster. We essentially have the choice between turning it on, giving flying a bad feeling, and turning it off, having unmanned ships flying infinitely. It would really be better to have a option without friction, but with automatic...

I wouldn't want a whole sector planet, but I have to say that the current planets are awfully small. Maybe at least make one of the dodecahedron's sides as big as the top of the half-planets of before?

I think discouraging "ugly" builds is a whole shoe for itself, but forcing us to always have thrusters on the outside might definitely hurt the game. I personally like the look of expose thrusters, but I can definitely see NuclearFuns point, so I have to agree. Preventing ugliness in general...

I personally prefer a more predictable system where we can more or less estimate "Those two ships are of equal size, they'll jump equally far", simply for reasons of directions of player flow on servers, the galaxy exploration part in general, etc., and I think long-range travel should work...

From the point of realism, it would assume that you build a starship with equally powerful forward and backward thrusters which, well... why should you. From a point of gameplay, it makes combat really one-dimensional and just doesn't feel as ship combat should feel like. I mean, imagine...

Well, not completely turn off, because, as I said, ships moving into the endlessness can't be good idea for server stability. So think of the worst case where you might lock yourself out of the ship while having deactivated slow down. I would have said "a remote control for stopping the ship"...

Well, it seems better, but honestly, I'd still cut it out. I also honestly don't like the concept of hyperdrive, still. (I don't even know whether I understand it correctly we aim at a point and just get a giant boost? So it's like the jump drive, but completely unprecise, and useless since...

I think the system proposed by the devs, where you divide thrust in the different directions would be fine if it simply limited max-speed for all directions but forward. So essentially you can still reach 100% server-speed forward, but not in the other directions. (I would also add the 5% thrust...

So, honestly, does anybody see any reason to limit jumping capabilities through demanding 10% of the ship to be jump drives? Because I honestly don't do so. I also agree that it will encourage making a giant solid ships without rooms, but I think the most important question here is "Why should...

So, I've been with the game for a while, but only lurked in the forums. I've observed the discussions and now would like to talk about what I personally think is most important to address in future updates. A balanced economy ...not. I know lots of people want to see that one soon, but I think...

I think homebases should stay as they are. Maybe make it a option for hardcore servers, but it shouldn't be in vanilla. I just think that there should always be this safe haven for a faction to avoid getting completely obliterated/destroyed during offline-time. What we need is an encouragement...
