Mining gas giants using either the salvage beam or through some new gas collector module would yield gas capsules, which could be used to produce other things like fuels or to enhance existing modules. Condesing the gas into crystals is a new idea, which would work too. There are a few threads...

Don't forget gas giants, it would be pretty much impossible using the tech on Starmade to strip mine a gas giant.

Now those X-wings can have a actual astromech droid on board.

Holy shit. Had me some of those toys when I was a kid, used to watch the cartoon too.

Becasue civilization begins when you settle in one place. When you're not focused on moving around you can put that time and energy into producing the things you need, like food for instance. The life of a nomad brings you to all sorts of places, most of which are places you stop at out of...

Personally, watching two titans slug it out isn't very interesting. I'd much rather be part of a medium sized fleet with more than just a giant pile of blocks to shoot at.

I agree with motherships not being able to enter a sector with a station, which would necessitate the need for smaller ships to ferry people to and from the mother ship and stations. It would also prevent someone from rolling in and unloading all their fighters right outside your base, so you'd...

Yeah, like every Dave is either working, sleeping, or on time off. You could make it so they only work and sleep, but slavery would bring higher chances of revolt. Even ships could have a galley that serves as a feeding/recreation area, so your Daves don't mutiny on you in the middle of a long...

Makes sense, I like the idea of being able to build a well thought out torpedo bomber that's specialized for taking out enemy bases, but having to worry about getting shot at just because I have warheads on this ship would still guarantee that if I was going to get shot at it should be because...

Well, PD turrets can fire at missiles only, so why not allow them to fire at warheads when set to shoot down incoming missiles? There'd have to be a way of flagging the torpedo as incoming munitions without flagging warheads on ships or stations used as a self destruct system or ones placed in...

I t If you got spawn killed a half dozen times in a row, would you stay on that server? How about if you got nuked by a much stronger player just after starting out for no reason other than for his entertainment? Damage control; it's about keeping new players, not protecting the troublemakers...

There would have to be a downside to using gasses in order to balance out the advantages you get for using them. Tanks would be a good, you'd have to build extra storage on your ship to hold these gases. You'd also have to have seperate tanks for different gasses, so you'd need a massive ship to...

About the only PD I use that wouldn't be able to insta-kill a torpedo with the core shields is my 1 damage AMS turrets, which only track incoming missiles anyway. Everything else is set to Any, and would shred the 22o shields and then some. The only concern I'd have is the derpy AI shooting at...

True, take Jupiter for example, it's upper atmosphere is about 88–92% hydrogen and 8–12% helium. Hydrogen has a long history of being a sci-fi fuel source, so you could mine the gas from a gas giant, process it into fuel capsules and use it to break the soft cap for as long as you have fuel, or...

You missed the other two parts,lilheartless, if warheads were targetable, had the 10 second self-destruct timer, and had to be activated (meaning you'd have to link them to some logic to start the countdown or activate them manually), then a lot of the problems you described would go away for...

Well, how about if we tweak warheads so that they have to be activated, then have a 10 second countdown before they explode? They'd still blow up on impact or if shot after activation, but now they blow up on their on after the countdown expires. This solves 2 problems as far as I can see; first...

Depends on how you use the torps, if you stick around and fight then we don't have a problem. At least the base your attacking can fight back, and if you win, then gg, here's your salvage. If you run like a little bitch and repeat the same attack until there's nothing left to salvage, then...

You still can't deny the numbers are still in the favor of the larger faction, and the situation you're describing still has less of a chance of happening with more members than it does in a 1 man faction. Getting to the root of the issue here; yes torpedoes can be exploited, pretty badly in...

No, the solution is strength in numbers, not 24 hour vigilance. If you know a faction is 1 man, you know he's less likely to be online all the time. A faction with more members is more likely have someone online at any given time, so is that base being manned right now? Who knows? As for the...

Seems like a lot of people miss the point of a lot of the recent updates and some of the ones coming down the pipe, and that point is TEAMWORK. You can't realistically expect to be able to manage a homebase and a half dozen outposts with a 1 man faction, yet I see this all over the place. There...
