Is it better to redo the game using another game engine? It seems the power and weapons update is the last chance to do so.

Seems like a good idea-now your friends wouldn't need to know where you built the damn dockers in your AllInOne-MegaPowerShieldsTurrets-Factory-Roleplay-Station. BUT, this would give rise to a host of other exploits, needless to say lag increase (way more calculations would need to be done) and...

Crew as a way to limit turret/drone spam, encourage warfare, and induce maintenance costs

Whoa there! Obviously a very well thought out one (and the roles tho...). Thumbs up from me. (Though you may want to simplify some of the stuff (and Im pretty sure recruitment like that aint gonna happen) Also, it seems quite similar to the proposal given by Lecic some time ago, especially...

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Meh. Cursor hovers over funny, then clicks disagree. Heads of to the Chat page...

Nice! Then we could have 10 activation blocks (call them primart), each connected to 10 other activation blocks (the secondary blocks) (so 100 connections) and a specific "NameOutput" of one of the primary activation blocks would only activate those secondary activation blocks which had the same...

I wouldn't worry about that rotating one though. If it's small enough to not get hit, it won't hit you and more importantly, it's small enough to be useless. If it's big, it shouldn't be difficult to hit it or, to ignore the damned thing and take out the reactor blocks back on his main ship...

I. Like. It.

I forsee unanimous agreement.(?)

Um, wouldn't this favor building the (new AND old) systems (power mainly) in a spiky way (tentacled) with armor surrounding the spikes to absorb as much damage as possible? That WOULD greatly offset building cubical (new) power reactors. Cool. (MANY people were worried about the loss of...

I doubt your first suggestion (fire) would be viable. How big would it look? How many blocks would it spread out to? Would it have any damage? But the second one... (hazy vision) That's something. Maybe navigation tab and general visibility becomes vague. Hmmmm. Maybe I'll start a thread on...

A fleeting thought-Why should rails differentiate between entities as long as the rail tracks are continuous? What I mean is this: If a track of rails ends at a block, but the rail track is continued on another entity (docked with appropriate alignment), currently a raildocker+core will stop at...

The human brain is a wonderful thing. It starts working the moment you are born, and never stops until you stand up to speak in public.

This sounded like a good suggestion at first, smaller ships could now move like the X-Wings (Star Wars) and bomb specific areas of a cap ship, but as I thought about this more and more, it began to appear... inconsistent. There is a LOT of stuff that can go wrong. To state a few: #It negates...

It's the ONLY way of doing it, not the best. I frankly spend most of the time scrolling up and down like mad, juggling tetras, heptas, wedges and rails. There's got to be a better way.

Excellent idea! With this, we can go from any configuration to any other in less that 4 taps. (Max 2 taps to bring to the required face and Max 2 to get face orientation right) I hope that was clear enough :P

No way Jose. A lot of comes to mind when you think of what can be added to make Starmade awesome(r). Not all of this would actually help. More so, most of those ideas would in fact needlesl Your suggestion sounds like an excellent one- just like umpteen others. But I doubt there are plans for...

Starmade is meant to be a game with no limits. Although what you suggest would increase performance, restricting players has NEVER worked out right. Restricting power would REALLY constrain players. There is a problem, but this is not the answer.
