I can imagine many uses for this option but if I tell them to you your imagination will get no exercise. :p -Templates are currently limited by the XYZ sliders (default is ten). Currently the in-game menu does not offer a way to increase it. -Using weld-blocks or merge-blocks-or...

General observation: There seems to be a meme here that suggests creative people are looking for ways to hoard or hide their creations. This makes no sense to me. Creative people are, by their nature, obsessed with sharing their Art. They want people to see it, and admire it sometimes wanting...

That would be a good way to troubleshoot the build.

I just wanted to add something regarding the CC. If any kind of copy protection gets implemented that includes the CC area of the dock there should be a category or filter devoted to those builds. As time goes on there will be an explosion of available designs in the CC and it is already hard to...

I had suggested something similar previously. The idea was to use linked colored lights to impart a back-light onto a decorative display, This may give some nice effects without affecting the block-IDs. The more deco-blocks this works for the better.

I can confirm this. The base of my eyeball turret sits inside a recessed cylinder of the host-ship. I made efforts to avoid lag by maintaining a buffer space between the wedges of the base and of the 'socket'. Even though the slabbed or wedged blocks had a gap when rotating it seemed to give me...

Well that definitely sounds similar to some issues I had with symmetry on big builds. The ghost blocks appeared on the opposite end of a 200 meter long spar I was lengthening in symmetry mode. I think the fault is caused by the symmetry blocks being so far away from the astronaut that they are...

Easier to add a color to all edits.

FYI if you hover over your rating you get a pop up screen that will let you change your rating. 'Funny' is standing in for a negative rating as they were removed from the forums to reduce flame-wars.

All of the above, so you are off to a good start. I have a tutorial ship on the dock but it may be wonky. I would encourage you to play a bit of single player first. Avoid pirates until you have mined some wealth and made a decent ship. I advise trading in some of your starting materials to...

K, I was being polite up until now. As polite as I ever get anyway. A very productive discussion has been taking place in spite of intermittent waves of irrationality and argumentativeness. I'm going to lay this out for those of you who have time to compose a wall of text but not post a single...

Meaning, in life, is the residue of action. SA

If that is the case then that is the best argument I have heard yet against the Licenced BP. This is where my ignorance is truly bliss. I just worry about making the concepts sound. I leave the thinky-pain to the Developers who are in good position to decide whether something is important enough...

But seriously the Doctor nailed it: We should be concerned with what those original designers want because they are key to the whole issue. People want what they want and designers care about their creations regardless of what others want. I think we all want the game to encourage the spread...

Words from your own mouth Jo. You say it yourself; touring a ship with a tape-measure and a practiced eye is all you need to glean the desired information. So why do you suppose this is not good enough in SM? You don't need to copy my BP, you can just take some notes and a selfie. :p Don't...

"It's a Thing!" :D (your theme music here)

Good question. It brings up a point I have wanted to make, so I will answer. I can think of a logical reason why you would indeed want to post a Licenced BP on the dock and its the very same reason for wanting protection on a server. A builder wants to share a build with everyone but keep it...

A lot of good ideas here. While I agree that it's desirable to create mechanics that make faction-war servers run well, I would like this to be a game-mode choice for each server not straight up vanilla. My only real concern is that all vanilla game-mechanics allow for all styles of play. Just a...

(and so on...) Yes. In a nut-shell, concise and comprehensive. This mechanic would get my support. :cool:

I was going to suggest this...then I did a search... ...now deploying necro-bump. My old server had some hilarious stories crop up when disputes started to be settled with 'contracts'...and I don't mean the kind you put on paper. When people got upset after being ganked they could blow off...
