      What are your plans for the rails?

      Transforming Mobile Armors in StarMade sounds pretty god damn cool. I always did like the Gadelaza despite how little screen time it got in the movie. Can't wait to see how you get it to transform.

      How did so many people decide titans start at 100k mass?

      In some sort of twisted way, I like the idea of lots of different standards and metrics within Starmade among players and factions. Among countless space-faring civilizations within a single galaxy, I find it hard to believe they will develop any single standardized classification system galaxy...

      How did so many people decide titans start at 100k mass?

      I've always thought a "Titan" was a ship that's 750m in any dimension or longer. From what I can see here in this thread though Titan is totally arbitrary even among other players. I think they became so common simply because they're actually a possibility in SM unlike building games of past...

      Honestly, that's a good analogy. I guess that's why I actually like it here compared to other forum-style communities.

      What are your plans for the rails?

      It's just the looks, but I'd like for them to actually work (also warp nacelles don't provide thrust in Trek, they'd be full of jump drive modules. Impulse engines are what give thrust.) Do we know if rails are going to be useable without having the moving parts be a separate entity? It would be...

      What are your plans for the rails?

      Specific plans I have are a station wide transit system and rotating rings for a massive station I'm working on. Additionally, what I'm most excited to do is make the warp nacelles on the USS Voyager I'm working on rotate up like in the show when it gets ready to go into warp and maybe update...

      I'd give us a solid 8. The community seems to be much more focused and constructive than it is distracted and nonconstructive. I also generally feel that it's at least okay to disagree with a point rather than be shut out by a massive circlejerk of certain members, and you'll usually get...

      Conduits - Cool but perhaps a function as well?

      Those look too thin. I'd rather a comfortable middle ground, or 1m hexagons since those can look distinct enough to be separate pipes yet still adhere to the 1m standard and be used in other applications. People use hex shapes anyway for pipes like in keptick 's screenshot.

      Conduits - Cool but perhaps a function as well?

      I'd like this just so I can have tons of pipes around for decoration even if they have function. Keep the conduit the way it is now for a flat deco block with the animation, but these new pipes should be actually cylindrical or semi-cylindrical since recreating thin pipes just using cubes looks...

      StarMade v0.188 - A completely new GUI

      This is just awesome. Everything looks so much more modern now compared to the Java-looking elements we had before. Really impressed and so happy that I can read something without the annoying overlap. Seriously, good job on this update, especially Kupu for coloring everything in.

      Ltmauve's shielding suggestion

      Now, I'm not defending bubble shields or anything, but bubble shields aren't always perfect circles. The USS Voyager for instance had an ellipsoid shaped shield, and I'm sure I've seen other sci-fi media where the bubble contours to the ship but isn't a laminate. If somehow a more sophisticated...

      Oh snap, it's coming

      I can't wait to play with the new UI, the wait for this was almost as bad as the last major update drought. It's just the new UI in this update right?

      Ltmauve's shielding suggestion

      Come on we just had a bubble shield thread a couple days ago.

      Random question that stumbled across my mind

      I'd really like if storage containers that we have now would work like that. Or at least have a certain threshold of damage that they can take past their maximum HP before everything inside is vaporized. That way if you want to bust open a storage container with a hand weapon or low powered...

      Random question that stumbled across my mind

      I want to see that too, but we've already got a couple updates that made them more optimized, yet they're still lag monsters if you make them bigger than default and still drop frames quickly at their default size. Anyway, the first thing I think that would go a long way to making planets more...

      Less Stations per System

      That is a good point, but having more weak pirate stations per sector isn't necessarily more challenging. Especially because their firing ranges won't likely overlap. Ideally we get some more powerful and well protected stations but less per system with more powerful and numerous pirate forces...

      Advanced Build Mode Productivity and QOL suggestions

      All of this. Especially paste manipulation. I can't stress how annoying and unintuitive it is right now and how impractical it is the higher your scale is. Using scaffolds works but it is incredibly annoying. Paste mode could be easily fixed if it worked like how OP said or even enter paste...

      Less Stations per System

      I agree as well and this is probably going to happen somewhere down the line. Planets used to be a dime a dozen now they're realistically limited. Instead of just a full on number slashing I'd like to see more stations the closer you are to the galactic center, but still much less than we have...

      Personal Computer Ideas

      I would really really like if that tied into the quest system as well. Like, when you hear news on your personal terminal, for a certain time frame it triggers in game quests. Maybe even different channels presenting specific news like mining bonuses in a specific sector for miners, info on...

      Replace surface shields with bubble shields.

      Maybe not Star Trek, but his has actually happened before in other sci-fi media surprisingly. Best example I can think of is Mobile Battleship (or Martian Successor depending on which subtitle you're reading) Nadesico. They had bubble shields like Star Trek called the Distortion Field, so later...
