Most MMO's simply put everything that the player is and has completely outside of reach when they are not online. Classics like World of Warcraft have your character vanish when not being played, and all of your stuff either vanishes with you, or is in a extradimensional bank vault safely...

True, but there are problems going the other way as well. Unlike most multiplayer games, you and your stuff do not cease to exist when you log out, meaning your stuff is sitting defenseless (from a human powered perspective) most of the time. Large factions can be assumed to have players on...

Sign me RTF up! Yeah, either way I would like to see something customizable in game that is stored in blocks in some fashion so that we could make and trade AIs.

I disagree, I think it would do the opposite. If the bonus producing planets were more scarce than they are now, just finding one would be an accomplishment. If a faction claims it, then there could potentially simply not BE another planet like that for multiple systems in any direction...

Only problem is we are going to have to have a complete revamp of crafting before that sort of thing becomes feasible. I mean, at least of the recipes. Way things are spread now, spreading out resources wouldn't encourage exploration, it would just flat slam the door shut in most people's...

Looks like we got us a fighter porn thread! Of course, how big a fighter (or even a drone) is will depend entirely on what you expect it to do. Harrier (mostly there just to bug and annoy the other person) will be much smaller and faster than what amounts to a self propelled heavy cannon...

Well personally, I still want Block Based AI.

What if we defaulted everyone to grey, highlighted the ones we were at war with in red, and then let allies show their individual colors?

I don't necessarily see this as a bad thing. But then, I'm still of the opinion of "reward for grouping, don't punish for solo". Being in a faction really does limit what you can do as an individual, because while you have a greater access to resources, you're limited in what you can make and...

Thanks. I've been trying to break out of the "gotta go big to make it look good" mentality and focusing on smaller ships. I still have some relatively large ones, but my biggest ships these days only weigh in at around 300m, tops. Big enough to be impressive, but small enough as to not be...

Yup, they're saving the AI update pretty much for last because they don't want to have to do it multiple times. Every time a new block functionality gets added, the AI has to be updated to know how to use it. So they're waiting until they get all of the functionality in place before redoing...

Pretty sure this went from so bad its good to being bad again, then looped around for a second go at good.

My current gen fighter is precisely 40m long (38 if you don't count the pipe and light bar decorations on the nose). Smaller than that and you're more in drone territory, IMO. If its going to be a legit fighter, it needs some manner of cockpit and room for decent weapons, armor, and shields...

Okay, I understand the concept behind each faction being a random color on the map, but I really don't think its working. There is an inordinate amount of pink factions in my experience, making for just large blobs of solid system color that aren't actually related for those who just go with...

I think we're getting rather off topic with the dyson sphere, considering that while it is cool, it is incredibly impractical as you would still only have one homebase, and if you wanted to use it on a planet resource, it would be cheaper and easier to simply make the planet itself your...

Delete the main folder? C:\ProgramData\Starmade

Eh, as long each planet provides a different kind of bonus, they get at most one invulnerable dyson sphere and still have to build more stuff. Especially not when they could just make the planet itself a homebase and skip the dyson sphere entirely.

:^D

Excellent, glad to hear it! Just stay way the hell away from that sector until they give you the thumbs up that its been completely wiped and restored!

Then yeah. They should be able to wipe you off the server completely so that next time you log in it sees you as a brand new player. Let you do something while they try to quarantine the sector.
