      More than just wireless

      I find that wireless logic blocks are often an awkward solution when working with docked entities. They don't connect automatically when docking, making them clumsy for modular things and for sending signals to arbitrary ships. I propose two independent solutions that each have their own merits...

      Logic interfaces

      Basically, add a new "Accessor" logic block that replaces the role of the activator and signal blocks in how they interact with non logic blocks like rails and computers. This block would have a ui that lists the functions of the block it is connected to. You would select either an input...

      Twofold Ship Building

      NeonSturm, I think your.... a little off topic. The point of my idea is to make optimized and RP ships (the 2 extremes of ship building) compatible.

      Twofold Ship Building

      This is a re-posted idea from a discussion thread. Love the new changes. But aren't they backing away from the mechanics that were intended to encourage interiors? I've come up with a way to make interiors have zero impact on ship performance apart from external doors and windows. Make ships...

      StarMade v0.201.337 LOD Blocks, Rule System, Balance, Fixes

      I love it. But aren't you backing away from what you were intending to encourage interiors? Why not make ships into 2 masked instances layered on top of each other? Basically imagine you make a block of systems with a doorway to nothing. You then switch "layers" and basically carve a hole in...

      How to Fix Starmade

      Why not base it on the old power system? So the distance component of stabilizers would be based on the sum of the distance to the farthest stabilizer on each side. This allows for borg cubs, death noodles, and everything in-between. (On second thought, this might incentivize borg cubes, so in...

      More things to DO

      Consider Minecraft. In Minecraft collecting resources is largely blind and requires an amount of labor. while StarMade has resource gathering, you can simply seek it out via the radar and collect it rapidly with your space ship. Its like exploring vs shopping. One has had dungeons with...

      More things to DO

      Perhaps there could be sets of artifacts, that you could put in a machine once you had all the parts to get the most powerful things. Also, when I say treasure maps, I should also mention chains of coordinates. Like each hidden spot you find tell you one or more systems the next clue will be...

      More things to DO

      StarMade REALLY schines when it comes to building great looking ships. (Combat comes in second) I feel StarMade has been lacking is exploration rewards. Things that reward players for going out into the universe that StarMade generates. Because for anyone not satisfied by building...

      StarMade Ship Systems 2.0

      This actually somewhat NEGATES information warfare. We HAVE information warfare already! You must capture the tech in question or spy to get info and then train your members with that intel. Then you have the scrambling of the positions, but at that point, you might as well just not have that...

      StarMade v0.199.535 - Spring Cleaning

      This is the best update we've had in a year! Keep up the bug fixes! Keep up the release testing, it works apparently!

      Read by Schine corner wedge block

      I think it's time to change the way starmade currently handles shapes. They ought to simply be a hull cube that can be cycled through a number of different shapes with a set of keys. When removing such shapes from a structure you would get base shape back shape back. Perhaps it would tell you...

      Opposite of corner

      I agree with this. However, perhaps they could be a slider shift from the normal version instead of taking up a separate slot. Personally I think they need to just combine hull shapes into one block that cycles between different shape in build mode with say, the arrow keys. In the mean time, I...

      Absolute Rail Rotators

      Because for certian builds you might want 1/3 of a full rotation or a different angle that does not agree with squares of 2. Alternatively you might want extreme precision. After some thinking, you could recreate the effect of the original rotators using this version. So, yeah, they could...

      HUD Combat

      I kinda like this idea. not super major, but good.
