Maybe attempting to design truly unique ships in starmade is a wasted effort because the tools to do so are not really implemented and I have the foresight to see that. I could put an auto charging jump drive on my ship. But so can everyone else's ship. And it comes at no cost to anything else...

Is it really any less uniform than the current system? Right now the system is build power reactor or capacitor blocks to acheive your power requirements. Build them wherever. Put defenses on them if you wish. Done. You are not going to convince me that our current system has even twice as much...

Well as it stands, players get very little depth with about half the systems in the game that they want to use. Things like cloaking, or Ion effect, or overdrive effect, or jump drives. You want to go faster? Add overdrive. That's it' No choices on how you effect your maneuvering. Nothing on...

If there are any sort of survival aspects, it will be for crew, keeping yourself equipped properly in astronaut mode, or in a very large sense, ensuring your space empire is self sustaining. Will we ask you to feed yourself and maintain energy? No, probably not.

Could look at Benches channel for some circuits as well. Be warned, Bench has a tendency to over complicate circuits for redundancy. His error detecting delay loop is the circuit I use for all my lights.

This is not likely to happen. Players build an assortment of shapes, and some of their designs would be ruined by forcing pipes onto everything. Also, were this to happen, we would use blocks, not pipes, as those are a very specific decorative block that we shouldn't force everyone to use.

Not sure if it was in the post, I know it wasn't in the video. As far as offensive effects, those will stay. Your weapons can remain unique from gun to gun. Defensive effects will overlap with the chamber tree system, so it's best if they are just incorporated.

You are correct. Ill get to one after today's stream to be sure. There was an absence of posts because our builds slowed down for some time.

They will likely be separate. Flora and fauna do not impact how you play the game in our current plans. For the moment, they are sort of a filler to populate planets. When we get close to working on them, we may find more interesting uses for flora/fauna. A part of the universe update is this...

No. It was immensely helpful. I was pointing out some specific responses though that while, meant as criticism, are not truly constructive in my eyes.

Oh true enough. I do hope they style them differently though. Wouldn't be in good taste if you ask me.

Currently being worked on. More so in the last month than before. Not sure when progress will be shown, but it's picked up the pace. Sure, but graphical effects mean nothing if the game is boring. It helps with selling the game, sure. Take Elite Dangerous for example. I bought that game because...

We can animate stars. Does that matter though? It's just a star. You aren't using them for gameplay purposes (at least not now). There are more pressing matters. Not sure what it truly adds to the game for a star to animate.

Why are they not allowed to make it better? I don't see how the community can't help us craft a system that they would enjoy using. There are no rules against that. Furthermore, that is essentially what we did. We payed attention to the negative feedback. We didn't like the things players...

No, but that was the whole point of the proposal no? We were sure we didn't think of everything, and after 40+ pages of thread, we got enough information to revise the system. Ed is right, most of the initial negative criticism did little to help us. It's not useful when memes are thrown around...

Well because we did not plan out every detail for every system from the beginning. Duke probably shouldn't have said that everything blocked out wasn't a plan for the game anymore. Instead, the those features are being tweaked. It's all still something we want, but we might not have asked all...

I don't see how a cube shape is any "better" than a dodecahedron, or any other shape that isn't a perfect sphere. We chose dodecahedron planets because they still have plenty of building area and are more planet-looking.

Not sure what the point is that you're trying to make, but let me put it another way. If we are bothering to have planets in StarMade, we sure aren't going to let them stay as cubes or cookie shapes.

You are correct. We won't be seeing that update for a while, but planning for it has already begun. In short, everything interesting that a player can do outside of building is done in the universe. We need to plan out a lot of things. We need progression, proper resource distribution, points...

I agree with everything except point one. It is not worth it. We are a company trying to make a video game and make a profit off our work. We enjoy what we do, and we love StarMade, but switching to a different language and rebuilding from the ground up will basically kill any chance StarMade...
