Um, if that was supposed to be in reference to me, I was specifically referencing this: From here: https://starmadedock.net/threads/an-urgent-message-to-schine.31063/page-3#post-373508 Of people who say their entire server stopped playing to wait for an update that took nearly 2 years to...

The guy openly bragged about his alts on a regular basis. And considering how many of the people who were shouting in those threads were accounts less than a month old at the time, with no post history, that magically vanished immediately after? Yeah, they were alts. May or may not have been...

Basically its a nebulous "out there". There is no reason to stop playing/building really. People stopped playing because of the power update being announced and then got annoyed that it took a year for it to actually come out. If you're having fun now, then by all means, keep having fun...

Hey, even Minecraft has it's store like that these days. And I've bought several skins from it. So if that was supposed to be a jab at me, it wasn't a very good one. :)

Lets break this one apart, shall we? "Zero testers outside the playerbase", but there is still an active playerbase large enough to get testing information back. Testers for a game of this size in alpha traditionally would be few enough to count on one hand. "Best testers were the PvP...

Considering virtually no game lets the public in the door during alpha stage in the first place? If anything we ended up with TOO MUCH exposure TOO EARLY, and that has been the cause of most of the "problems". People who, like in the screenshot above, don't understand that alpha literally...

There is no need to "revive this game". The number of players is where Schine wants it to be. They are intentionally not advertising. They only want enough people to do basic bug testing, thats it. When they are finished with all the revamps and move things along into Beta, then they have...

I personally like chambers being linked to reactors via physical block lines (the conduits). It makes it feel like I'm building a power system. I'd really like to see that expanded. Power conduits physically linking the reactor to your shield generators, your weapon systems, thrusters, etc...

Pretty minor overall, but I think it would help players wrap their heads around things better. Chambers are, realistically speaking, not chambers, and they are not related to the reactor in any way beyond how many blocks you need. Rename them "Subsystems" or something like that. Its a lot...

I agree with the devs in that having food/oxygen/etc as a requirement FOR THE PLAYER is likely a bad idea. However, I do support the idea of needing food/oxygen/etc FOR CREW as a kind of "currency" to "pay" for them. Whatever benefit we eventually get from Crew, we're going to need SOMETHING...

Personally I'd really like to see things along the lines of letting anything docked to a station/planet count as BEING a station for the purposes of activating blocks. I'd love to be able to make colony drop ships. "Oh, hey <new player>. Having trouble? Hang on, let me replicate you a basic...

So much all of this. You don't claim that you want certain things so that the game will succeed, and then turn around and ACTIVELY SABOTAGE the game when you don't get your way. They didn't care about the game, they just cared about being bigwigs that could call the shots. It was a power trip...

Because some of us actually like the feel of watching a reactor slide into place?

Yeah, considering last I heard they're still trying to move away from blueprints and spawning things in directly in general, I doubt its gonna happen. They're still pushing for "build ships in shipyards" instead of "fill a blueprint and have it magically pop into existence" like the old...

Agreed. You only need a video if there is some super cool animated light pattern/rails/etc that you can't show off in stills. Otherwise, pictures are fine. Like this: The level of awesome of that megazord build is something you simply have to see in action to fully appreciate. It looks...

No to old power. I'd just like to see docked reactors come back because I like modularity. I like being able to build discrete self contained systems and then swap them in and out. I honestly never liked the "just fill the hull with random systems" style of Starmade to begin with. Heh, hell...

So hey, serious question. If we're going back to more "make it fun instead of chasing the pvp-meta around in circles" approach... Can we get docked reactors back? Things don't go flying off and causing collision checks in battle anymore, and frankly trying to re-engineer reactors is kind of a...

Lol, dammit, my Starmade crashed just looking at that, and it wasn't even open! :D

Well the way to calculate that is already in the game. It can outline and color in systems right now, so simply expanding that to outline the entire ship, and make the highlight color opaque instead of translucent should be fairly simple.

Yeah, I know my stance, probably everybody else does too. There's no point in discussing it now though as it'll only open up old wounds. Suffice it to say I'm still here, and I approve of the direction they are currently taking the game in.
