Nah, take over this one with it. Make it worth something at least. :)

They should. This was the original design for an enemy detecting logic device. An internal "turret" that would point at an enemy and swing the barrel through area sensors. It didn't need to fire or worry about energy, all it had to do was track.

I would want to see instanced planets for two reasons: 1) Size. Planets are HUGE lag sources, and taking big ships near big planets is just collision checks aplenty. If planets were made as permanent LOD round objects, the engine wouldn't have to try and render millions of blocks. It would...

Yeah, I'd just be wary of people who would exploit it and attack a base when no players are online to give a coordinated defense. The AI is still pretty dumb, so it would be much easier to just wipe someone out while they're offline and incapable of properly defending themselves. Setting the...

More as a topic of conversation than anything else, but if I had my hand on the wheel, this is the direction I'd want to take the game in Universe 2.0 (assuming all kinks and optimizations are worked out): Minecraft + Civilization = Starmade Early Game: First time you load into a server or...

A rule to turn off homebase invincibility at a set server time? Long as you add in an extra caveat there that it only happens if the station's owner is online, that could definitely be interesting!

Is it possible to make the flat buttons/activators functional with collision disabled for them? They're great for elevator call buttons and the like, but they definitely block rail movement.

I really wish the thread I referenced here wasn't deleted for being so old. Maybe I should restart it and see if the kinder, gentler climate these days will get any traction?

Well, my apologies then for forgetting to specify in one post that it should be a server option. Congratulations, you have bested me by finding one post I didn't go full on CYA mode on. You have clearly uncovered a vast conspiracy which completely negates everything else I've said for years by...

And you are deliberately taking things out of context. Here's the response directly below yours in that thread: Where I then specified different behavior for a PvP server, where anyone who wanted to use it would have to constantly pay to have it on. Starting with a flag like that enabled...

Heh, people used to love their gordian knot power reactor lines. :)

Well my point was "Abusive people are ignoring server rules and griefing everybody, lets brainstorm ideas on how to stop that" and the only answer being "We can't do anything, we have to leave it all exactly the way it is". Half the people doing that were probably in Vaygr, honestly.

So that means we weren't allowed to even TALK about options? To brainstorm for a way to do it that wasn't easily abusable? Vaygr is the exact reason WHY controls were and still are needed. I'm calling bull right there, there were multiple times I specifically called for options that would be...

Honestly? Thats fine. I always made it clear that I was pro consensual PvP, and the only thing I was against was attacking people who wanted to be left alone. Those who see "How about a PvP flag or something so people who don't want to fight can just build and mine in peace?" and hear "ZOMG...

Oh yeah they did. I can go dig those old threads out if you like, they're still around here somewhere. Threads where I tried to start brainstorming on how to come up with settings to let PvE and PvP co-exist, and I got shouted down for being anti-PvP. That was the common tactic, as called out...

Thats great, I'm glad. No sarcasm, I am. My stance has always been "If you want to do PvP, find someone else who wants to do it, and do some PvP. If you don't want to do PvP, then you don't have to do PvP". Despite what people painted me as, I ENJOY consensual PvP. I like making builds and...

Hint: Starmade is not a PvP game. Its a voxel building game. Minecraft, Dragon Quest Builders, etc all have multiplayer settings where you can actively prevent people from messing with your stuff. PvP is PART of Starmade. Same way it is PART of other MMO's like World of Warcraft. Where they...

Yup. I would say that you forgot to screencap the rest, but its referenced in what I said in the full quote. Key phrase there is "YOUR pvp". Griefing is not PvP. Camping spawns, ganking newbies the instant they log into a server, forcing people to fight who don't want to participate in the...

Nope, not blaming the PvP community. I've said many times before I enjoy PvP. The toxic players that got banned did not represent the entire PvP community. They just liked to hide behind that strawman.

Agreed. Focusing on either extreme without regards to the other is very counter productive.
