Here's a solution: Stop placing more shield blocks. At that magnitude you are getting an additional capacity of about 5 points per block, and additional regen of .05/sec. What is the point? To put that in better perspective, each additional block is increasing capacity by .0000005% and regen...

Haven't tried this in the dev build, but it seems to remove and regenerate a planet in the current release build: Get within range of a planet Use 'F' to target the planet /destroy_entity /populate_sector x y z I have used this to convert the original spawn-point shop to the new NPC form. It...

Repair beam penetrates undamaged blocks (easiest?), or only repairs a block which has an undamaged block or empty space behind it?

A way to place some kind of "sign" for information is useful in a general sense, but I don't see that such a feature specifically associated with plex storage is needed. It would be handy to be able to logically label a plex storage unit with a name that shows up when approaching it (along with...

You can enable/configure an AI by walking up to it and activating it with 'R'. When controlling a ship (or in a station's build block), you can do the same for AIs on docked turrets or ships via the Structure tab of the in-game menu (the one that opens with I/B/N/etc.). The options are located...

This is not much of a suggestion, but I'd like to request one more level of chain docking if possible. My new ship is designed to carry a smaller fighting/utility ship which has a turret. When the new ship is docked to my station I cannot dock the smaller ship, with the subject message. A...

Tribbles! And a special gun which can launch them into enemy ships/stations. :eek: Thanks to CyberTao for inspiration.

Why not get creative? On the old site I saw a space elevator someone had built, which was in essence a ship on rails. Or ask for an improvement or better alternative to the plex lifter?

StarMade currently uses a system of constant acceleration plus a speed limit. I think this is the underlying source of many of the balance-related complaints related to ship speed vs. size. In reality constant thrust does not impart constant acceleration. Rather acceleration decreases as...

I think I kind of like the idea that a gravity unit on a planet shouldn't have any effect...

I think some aspects of this have been shown in the forum before, but I didn't find anything relevant in the new bug tracker when searching for "turret". Some oddities occur when docking some turrets to the underside of my ship. It only works when I approach the docking module by flying the...

No, but after eating them anything you come into contact with turns orange. This is the only way to get orange hull blocks.

I don't think spoiler tags prevent the image(s) from being loaded, only from being displayed; thus a large amount of bandwidth, memory, and time can still be occupied loading and rendering the page even if one doesn't want to see all of the images. A good potential user-side solution is to...

A simple cruise control (speed lock) would be convenient and effective.

I noticed today that the mass of a ship I'm building which is docked to my station is not updating as I add or remove blocks. I do not plan for it to be millions of blocks, so not sure if this can help you in some way. The mass did update when I undocked the ship.

To describe the general case, it looks like "all" building rules are applied when setting symmetry. I've noticed that it cannot be set if no block or a non-building block (the pistol) is selected, or if clicking "within an active docking area". I haven't run into a case where I can't find a...
