      An alternative FTL System - WarpSpace

      The idea seems sound and very interesting. The travel nodes do present an opportunity to grief players, though, and bad players/community is really the worst thing about this game, and always has been. But you can't help that, alas. Is the warp space like, some void space sectors above or below...

      I'm starting to wonder if schema has abandoned us, really

      reintroduction power snakes

      While I really hated the old power snakes/pylons, and really like the new systems ability to fit into any weird space, I do think the mechanics were oversimplified. I would like to see the return of power capacitors and a heat dissipation mechanic instead of the stabilizers, which were, along...

      Trade and Economy idea

      I like the distinct large vs small scale economies and distinction between inhabited, uninhabited and faction controlled space in your model. I think it would work well with what the devs plan to do with populations and new universe generation with more distinct resource sectors that will help...

      Distributed Monetization

      No. We don't need this, it won't improve players experience. Builders can take paypal donations if they want to, or just not share their content like so many pvp players do anyway

      Happiness System for the new Population Update

      I think it's more important in suggestion threads to give schine an all-inclusive picture of what players think would be fun, that way they dont have to do all the brainstorming regarding final content, and can choose features they know they and players both want to be available and make sure...

      Planet Devbuild Help

      So obviously a startup argument must be a script run upon restarting the program. But how do I go about inserting it? In what file, after what line etc.

      Right, forgot the missile thing.

      invisible display module

      +1 to all that. Would be quite cool to have.

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      You know I have wondered, why don't you reduce the mass and hp of basic armor, since it's useless for defense anyway? Might as well be useless and lightweight

      Cool, nevermind then.

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      I could have sworn my chambers would fail when they took enough damage. Oops?

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      Building chambers slightly oversized has an advantage there in that they don't go offline from just a little stray damage. I also like to protect them with a little armor layer around them. I'd love.to have location specific shielding but making multiple small bubbles leaves your shields...

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      Since I totally don't remember, did that issue with the ai accuracy/difficulty setting getting overwritten with the default every time you start a server ever get fixed, or is it still lurking?

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      Oh that sounds awesome! Thanks for doing that! Damage based radius sounds way better than set radii, too.

      Happiness System for the new Population Update

      Good thoughts, all of them. Can't think of much to add right now, and you're right an approval rating or happiness is almost necessary in any city/colony simulation. You're right counting decorations would be difficult, as much so as defining living/work spaces in general. It will totally look...

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      Sounds good, but allowing any weapon to damage an entire ship at once sounds way OP, you could theoretically compromise the reactor or important computers without really making a hole or path through the armor, totally nullifying the point of having it in the first place. Maybe if its radius of...

      Small Simple Requests

      Fill/replace randomly with a selection of blocks in a given ratio? That would be sweet for making like fake asteroids or landmasses!

      The ultimate drone R&D thread

      Missiles vs armor must be a recent change? I specifically tested and made sure my armor was effective vs missiles in the QF configs a while back and it was. I haven't heard anything about them working on turret or ship ai, only the improved missile target tracking settings. I would assume all...

      Turn speed- Why not gyroscopes? Directional thrusters?

      I would also prefer to keep it simple regarding additional blocks, we already have a chamber effect and the option to redirect part of our thrusters output towards turn speed. I totally agree that the dimensions-based turn speed is garbage for gameplay, though. I also felt it was inverted, as...
