      Handheld Hull Drill/Ship Equipped Hull Drill

      Interesting idea, I could see people coming up with some interesting boarding craft, but with current block hp I would make it more like 10-15 damage per second. (10-15 seconds to drill through normal hull, and 25-30 seconds to drill through hardened hull.)

      Weapons do Damage to an Area Proportional to the Size of the Front of the Weapon

      Oh I see! You want to add piercing damage based on the length of the weapon. I think it should be more like .125 block piercing damage per block length. So for every 8 blocks length, the weapon pierce damages one extra block. (I've got a cannon that's 250 blocks long, so a 1/1 ration would be a...

      The more credits you have the more likely pirates will try to kill you

      I love the idea, but I think it should be configurable in the config, as some people (me included) spawn in credits when working on large projects. Imagine how many pirates would spawn if you had a trillion credits?

      Weapons do Damage to an Area Proportional to the Size of the Front of the Weapon

      Sorry I'm a bit confused on your idea for the pierce system. I'm usually good with the technical stuff but can you just re-explain that?

      Weapons do Damage to an Area Proportional to the Size of the Front of the Weapon

      Yes the whole thing would be one cannon, this would eliminate the need for checker board styled cannons. Also, deathcubes can make the whole front of their ships cannons right now, they just need the checkerboard style. The key difference is that if you have 2500 different cannons with 1 block...

      Weapons do Damage to an Area Proportional to the Size of the Front of the Weapon

      Hey guys, I've got a small simple idea that would make the game just a bit more realistic looking. When you fire a larger weapon, the damage the weapon does is spread out over an area equal to the size of the front of the weapon. So say you have a cannon with a 3x3 block firing surface that does...

      Sensors Anyone?

      Hey guys I just updated the post with what you guys have suggested, and I guess I could call this a bump post. -Cheers! :D

      Chairs n' Viewscreens... And stuff?

      Viewscreens and autopilot would just be an added bonus, chairs are what we really need. Imagine how satisfying it would be to be able to go up to your bridge and take a seat in your captains chair (Maybe even add a small sitting animation? lol), or go to your core room and see your core encased...

      Ship Building Techniques and Tricks, Post them Here!!!!

      I tend to make a cross section of my main systems and interior, and then extrude it outwards and add things like weapons on as I go along. I also came up with a great and effective way to protect bigger ships. For my outer hull, I make it three layers thick: Hardened Hull, then shield capacitor...

      Docking Beam Only Works Once

      Hey guys, I've been playing on singleplayer lately, and I've been having this problem where once I dock a ship, I can't dock another ship until I restart the game. There's no error, and you can clearly see the blue grid when you target the docking block with your docking beam, but the ship...

      News Doesn't Show up on the Launcher Anymore

      I've been having authentication server issues lately while trying to play. I can't even play single player sometimes. You can check if it's this by trying to re-download the game. If the download link on this site doesn't work, it means one of the website's servers is down.

      I like most of this, but from the size of this thing you should probably create a thread in suggestions.

      Starmade V0.158

      Understandable for the crafting system, but the thrusters system is complete, it just needs balance. For balance you need testing by masses. Therefor, you release a build with the default setup, look for reactions, and adjust accordingly in the next update (Which is pretty often at the moment).

      Starmade V0.158

      That firing rate of 6 rpm is off of a damage damage beam of about 9800 blocks and does about 27,000 damage a hit (even though it only fires once every 10 seconds). I've added a punch-through effect of 100%. I also have two 10,000 block damage beams which do about 30,000 damage each with an ion...

      Starmade V0.158

      A funny thing actually, I was working on a capital ship that's supposed to incorporate all the new stuff in these updates. Well after I found out my power system was inefficient, I cut out a checkerboard of the rectangle that was my power generators, and decided to save the space in case I...

      A Couple Miscellaneous Suggestions

      Oh I didn't even notice that the game save's the server's you've been on. :P The thing with the current uplink system is that you can change your username and still keep your stats. This get's really annoying on servers and can cause issues with factions. I see where you're coming from with...

      Adding ship-types

      I definitely agree. As you said the numbers would have to be adjusted (Finally an excuse to get an official class system), but it could definitely work.

      A Couple Miscellaneous Suggestions

      Hey guys I have a couple ideas that should make things overall a bit easier. First and foremost, a proper GUI with easier to navigate menus and items. This game has progressed a ton since I started playing it about a year ago, but the starting menus haven't changed at all. Here's a couple...

      News Doesn't Show up on the Launcher Anymore

      Hey guys, I know this is a minor issue, but I've been having it for a while now and it's really annoying having to come to the site every time an update comes out. I don't know if this was done intentionally to everyone, or if it's just my computer being weird. Anyway, is there a way to get the...

      Starmade V0.158

      I'm not gunna lie, if the weapons systems were the same as they were before the weapons update, I'd be complaining about the shield change as well. But actually, I was really hoping for either a shield debuff or a weapons buff now that weapons have such a low rate of fire. If I may make a...
