I agree with the OP on the gas giants. I agree with the sub-thread on gas-mining and cloud-bases. In the subject of consumables... for the fully realized game I'd live to see variety in energy and propulsion Propulsion: Coil thrusters: Direct e to thrust. No fuel. Low power, good for light...

The idea of automatic escape pods was suggested over at another thread: http://starmadedock.net/threads/ship-explosions-how-we-should-handle-dead-ships.21657 I don't want to detract from the other escape pod threads: http://starmadedock.net/threads/escape-pods-how-to-make-them.21791/...

Hardly the only way. Another version like yours that doesn't even require blocks would be to use a tool in creative mode to define and connect way-points within the ship. Store the waypoint data in a meta-array as a set of absolute coordinates relative to the core. Requires no blocks. It's...

http://starmadedock.net/content/startrek-scimitar_-wip.3732/ Slabs can make for some very nice curves, as long as the curve you are trying to contour has a slope of 1:4 or less. Getting slab-contouring to interface with wedged contours presents some novel challenges and compromises.

This has been suggested before... Not that it doesn't have merit, (says one of the previous people to suggest it) But it didn't seem to get a lot of traction. If I were the Dev... My version of the idea was a block with a sort of deck plate texture on the top and a ladder texture on one...

This is less about the ship... Which, Yes, is new and cool in it's own right. This is an experiment in slab contouring. I produced a pretty neat effect, and I wanted to share it in the hopes that it might inspire others. MANY incomplete systems. VERY much Work In Progress. Original design...

My reading was close to that, I don't think he intended mass to be multiplied, as he was talking about the performance cost of thrusting against the mass of the systems blocks. Either way it seems like it would make starting out that much harder. Each block might give you more bang for the...

Honestly? yes. The responses you have received were entirely appropriate for what you actually wrote. If they don't seem appropriate to the message you intended to convey, you may wish to re-check your communication as written. Are you carefully constructing an argument for a clear idea...

Wait.... IF I had built that particular ship.... to scale... based on blueprints and with all listed systems..... (rolls around on the ground for several minutes laughing) http://starmadedock.net/content/star-trek-constitution-tos.75/ So no... I don't have all the decks. I also don't have a...

This is not so much as "you must do this" sort of suggestion. More of a "what if" for people to bat around. I've always been slightly chafed by the concept of infinite free energy. The concept of a Star-Made "Survival mode" has received a lot of attention. That's not new. The concept of Fuel...

So... In general, what I hear you saying is: "I don't like space games to be too realistic, but I have some problems with the way StarMade doesn't sem to be internally consistent"... OK, I can understand that. I'm with you on hard limits being annoying. It's worth noting, though that the only...

DUDE! WOW!... Just wow.

Noooooooooooo! Not my ship! (sobs) My beautiful ship! (sniffle)

I think we can actually... as long as we understand that we're just supplying ideas and Schema sets the priorities. When developing there is the meat and potatoes hard work of coding the serious stuff, but sometimes you've got to focus elsewhere to clear your mind. If a Restaurant at the end...

... and thus, the restaurant. Here is my actual suggestion: (hear me, Schine!) Throw in an in-game navigational error-trapping routine. If the absolute value of any sector coordinate value is equal to or greater than (2^32)/5, then trigger a warp-jump effect to a blank sector with the...

ok.... you kids have fun. (un-follows thread)

I recommend we move this thread to "General Discussion/Boarding Strategies"

Yeah... The rail-activator thing is weird and awkward... But I haven't managed to dream up anything more elegant as yet.

Natural sciences? There is no nature here! This universe is the fever dream of the mad-god Schema, who sprang fully formed from the forehead of Euclid with a code-base in one hand and a core block in the other.

This one is quick and simple: You can currently use logic blocks with adjacent rails to redefine the orientation and even the block type of logically connected rails... Why not do exactly the same for lights? Get three or more activators each with a different color light next to it. Assign all...
