      Status of "strong" modding?

      That's decompiled java sourcecode? How does the decompiler know about method and variable names? Does the java compiler leave them in? And if yes, what for? And about EA stealing the sourcecode: There is no way a large publisher would steal sourcecode. Hiring some developers and redeveloping it...

      Status of "strong" modding?

      Actually I'm pretty sure you can not. Java source files typically end with .java, while .class files are the compiled versions of these files. What you would find in a .class file are instructions for the java virtual machine. And these instructions should be pretty hard to read, even for a...

      Status of "strong" modding?

      I always was under the impression, that a compiler removes names and comments anyway. Or is this some Java specific thing? I'm more of a C++ user nowadays. So the schine team is actively preventing these kind of mods? I didn't expect that. Seems pretty paranoid to me...

      Status of "strong" modding?

      I'm waiting for this for years now. But I don't really see why frequent updates would be a problem. The modding community would just choose a stable version of starmade and develop against that. No need to update the mod for every starmade update. Whoever wants to play with mods would just have...

      Fully Programmable Computers Suggestion

      Ok, as far as I got it, we all agree that programmale computers in general are a good idea. But there are two opinios on how these computers should be programmed. The one side would like to have a Lua based system, that would make the computers very powerfull, but very complex to use. The other...

      Sleeper Bays

      I agree with the basic Idea, but I don\'t like this way to implement it. I would rather suggest a simple bed. It is rather cheap and only one person can use it at a time. When you enter it you can\'t move. You can only log out or leave it. The bed block has nearly no armor can can be destroyed...

      Fully Programmable Computers Suggestion

      I like the Idea, but there should be an alternative for the Players without any programming skills. For example there could be some premade programms for the most common tasks that you can just load. Or maby something like this: http://medienmami.uni-ulm.de/mediathek/kara_2.png. For those how...

      Possible ways to boost performance around large entities.

      I don\'t think so. Normaly a Game consists ofto Layers: A data model layer that stores everything and can be manipulated and a view layer, responsile to display what is stored in the model layer. Just because you don\'t display the blocks (only impacts the view layer) doesnt mean that you...

      Relay computer and/or bigger quickbar

      I agree with you that the current piloting system doesn´t really work for huge ships, but i would rather like a complete rework of it. I don´t really like that you can fly a 500m carrier all alone. What I would like to see is the possiility to link systems to some kind of seperate workstation...

      Unification of servers (Radical Suggestion)

      There is an MMO with only one Server (well, two, but not for a technical reason): Eve Online. I agree,it would be nice to have a Server with hundrets of Players on it, but only one central Server would be to restrictive. Maby one day we get a few big offical Servers with lots of Players on...

      Warp Drive

      I like your ideas. I think this shouldn\'t be possilbe for single players, but only for factions. I\'m imagining even a faction having only a few jumpbeacons at their Stations and really large Carriers to jump to them. That would alsoadd a use for large Carriers and i would love to see them...

      Flat planets are absolutely horrible. An idea on how to make them round. changed

      I Don´t really like the Idea with the Oreoish Planets. Mainly because of the possibility to fall of the edge. I like the Idea of the cubic Planets, but I do also understand the gravity Problem that comes with Planets of this shape. I also like the Idea of a flat World with reapeating chunks...
