well, the game is not yet developed enough to have these things. We still need to sort out other stuffs right now. However, an expendable resource to fight over is something that we need. I am sure schema is thinking about something.

I think the forward engine could be a little wider, but otherwise i think this is good.

Is this case sensitive? Because, if it is, then people will have to try a lot of large-small case variations.

I don't get it

I do want a small shipyard to load my fighters with torpedoes. so, Yes.

I have it too. Seems the ship's AI is still alive when you overheat them. Since the enemy ship is recognized as a fleet, overheating the ship will not have their AI turned off.

I think it is a good idea to make these beacons claim-able. If you set them to faction use only, enemies will be able to jump to it, but the recharge bonus will be only given to your faction's ships. You may also get a warning that a foreign ship is using your beacon. In FTL, we have normal...

Yes, I have once read this thread. Seems like the star is equivalent to my "beacons". While it is appealing, you really cannot destroy or create a star right now. So, I thought of "beacons" would be a more flexible version of the star-jump.

My guess is that the chain drive is not how the devs wanted us to use jump drives. So, this "Beacon" is for the starmade galaxy without Chain drives.

I did think about nerfing the chaindrive and the jump drive itself. It is just a raw, unrefined proposal, so I thought not to give out details.

I have been playing FTL recently and I thought having a jump beacon would make interstellar travel much more restrictive and give exploration a reason. It also gives you a tactical reason to place and destroy beacons, to restrict enemy fleet movements. Now, I will explain how this beacon works...

I think the complexity issue is hitting hard on large vessels with tremendous space to fill up. I do not think the power overhaul has to be done on drones, but to massive ships with so much shield regen/capacity blocks. Whenever we make a titan, we will likely spend more time filling up systems...

Because timing is crucial on this subject. Are you guys going to do it ASAP, or are you guys going to finish all the game mechanics, then come back? This question is probably what everyone want to see answered. Just tell us when you WANT to do this change. Not when it WILL change. okay, I...

this is so true. After they dropped the Power Overhaul bomb on my Kestrel A, all my crew was stunned and lost the will to repair/build or even fight ships. What is the meaning of building a ship, when these ships are sure to be obsolete? Right now, starmade is only good in the aspect of...

Is it possible to make a small modeling game that allows you to build ships, but not fly them? I think it will be an awesome way to test stuffs with.

I think schema should make an example of what these reactor systems would look like in-game. It should be a complete, downloadable ship that you can look into, albeit made with blocks that we use right now. We can probably do some more discussion there. Also, I think Schema should actually...

(this is synical AND optimistic talking here) Lets just delay this update for a while. Let it take time. Like a wine or a radioactive waste. A big system change that breaks ALL ships? Need to take some time.

Hmmm... (This is synical taisong talking right now, so be ready) (also, it is really long) Honestly, I do not think we have to force an overhaul for power right now. The current system is not perfect, mind you, but it has been working for quite some time. Everyone is used to it. There is no...

I do not think fuel is a bad idea, solely because it will make your factory more sophisticated. If we are supposed to synthesize fuel out of an asteroid, then I think it will be fun enough. If we are supposed to collect fuel from a black hole, it will be stupid.

okay, if Schine tells us to stop hand-building, then I will probably quit. If Schine tells us to stop using blueprints, then I am fine. Will this be an opinion?
