I thought we had abandoned realism around the time it was decided Star Made was a game where you build spaceships out of blocks. I already play Elite: Dangerous. That game fills my desire to fly around a realistic galaxy just fine, and it does it better than Star Made ever could. However, it...

I've always thought the interiors in StarMade look a bit too "smooth" compared to, say, Minecraft. Because of it's lack of non-voxel decoration. Purely aesthetic additions are never a waste of time. They serve the function of making the game more interesting, especially since the bulk of it is...

Would be a good way to quickly/simply communicate without using the chat. To simplify the procedure for the hotkey unsavvy, holding a key could bring up a gui with different "ping" types. Like changing weapons or visor types in Metroid Prime trilogy.

1: What is that? D: 2: Can we see a size comparison between that and a planet.

An in addition, perhaps some default build-mode schematics. Like a standard docking airlock, standard turret, landing gear, warp drive attachment you could tack/dock onto small ships, logic contraptions new players could use or pick apart, etc. (And maybe a starting ship could be the one from...

We all know, and we don't care. It's just a fun reference.

I agree that StarMade can be overly dark at times. But I think a simpler solution might be a "floodlight" block, that emits light a big distance in a single direction. Edit: Or lights could become stronger when you group them together, like in this suggestion.

But why? Is the game any more fun because producing colored ships requires a "time consuming process?"

Slabs

The wedge "chairs" will look much better when they're (presumably/hopefully) replaced by "real" chairs. Aside from that, the new starting station looks fantastic. I love the size, details, and secrets.

Artificer has a point because I sound like a douche... No. If Artificer has a point, you should explain why I'm wrong. You haven't yet said why you think dodecahedron planets are better than any other system. Unless you're mad at me, (in which case I apologize for being passive aggressive,) I...

Not ideally, yet it would be an improvement. Worthless argument. Look up "Suspension of disbelief." Planets provide nothing that makes them too good for fixing. They look like dodecahedrons. Even the ones in the distance look like dodecahedrons. What the hell are you talking about. My...

...No. Highly disagree. Because nothing saves my shattered immersion like the ability to relocate to the far side of a planet in 10 seconds.

Worst aspects of both, best aspects of neither.
