      This reminds me of the days when I used plugins in minecraft to make signs do things. This is a big yes for me.

      Ship Turning Mechanics make NO sense whatsoever!

      I think engines should require more strategic placement than 10x10x10 cubes. You should be able to face thrusts to get rotational thrust. That would be the best thing in my opinion.

      I voted... try to change my mind

      Don't ask for people to change your mind. You are supposed to vote for people who you think you can talk to. If you can approach those people with questions and get answers/feedback in return that is helpful go with them. Once this becomes a popularity contest it's all over.

      I hope I get in. I'll be excited to start working towards the bright future of starmade. Best of luck to everyone. Even if I don't get in, I know--from extensively working with them--that the other people on the team will do a great job.

      That is the main problem with this system right now. People do not understand how it works. The other thing that bothers me is that you only get 5 selections but there are 7 seats. That is not how STV is meant to be implemented.

      Sign me up for any of these. I'll most likely say some offensive things, but I'm sure many people will find it funny.

      7 seats with 5 selections makes for a complete incorrect implementation of STV. But, I am not crazy enough to think that things will change for this election. Don't worry, I'm just starting up the nag-engine for the next one. I understand that change happens very slow here,

      Depends, but if you only have 1 to 4 candidates in mind, you are forced to vote for another. If your top 4 meet the minimum, you are wasting your vote on someone who you might now like.

      STV is also meant to be used in a parallel system. It is best used to choose candidates, not leaders. That is why it was never adopted in NZ. I'd be happier with an MMP system, it works the best from what I have seen.

      Read my comment again, I updated it with why this is happening. Had it been discussed in the public's eye, I would have said to do a SNTV where the top N candidate would be chosen. It would have been much simple and represented a better portion of the community. It is also how most of the...

      You choose 5 candidates. You rank them from 1 to 5. The person with the most "1"s wins. This way, if your first choice doesn't get elected one of your other selections should. Therein lies the main problem with this voting system. This is unavoidable. You could do a standard most-votes...
