And also convientialy makes them more than 1 Dimensional and Fun to work with! For role players, they could place them near the outside and call the radiators or the such if they wanted too imo. This realitvly simple change, and I (and I'm sure a significant part of the community) would be more...

Very nice imo :P I can certiantly get behind this, seems both fun and engaging as a game mechanic. Probably one of the better features to come out of the power update.

Or even just some way of targeting mass "density". I would hope the AI would do that already rather than just shooting somewhere within the bounding box

Certiantly an improvement over the current system. As long as there a way to deal with splitting groups into multiples (e.g I have a block of reactors at 25 m, if I split it in half now I'm at 50m!) it sounds solid. Some ides: -Stabilzor groups generate areas of low effciencey around them...

Just like the current missile system, To get through point defense you have to spam hundreds of no cost 1/1 missiles. To defend against it you have to spam multitudes of 1/1 Cannon PD Entities on your ship. And they both keep on going up, and up, and up. Just a recipie for disaster and lag -_-...

Still "Turrets" :P All hail the mighty Ball Turrets! Kinda hard to evade unless you can strafe faster then the turret can turn :/

Much like I do. Makes sense, other game mechanics work this way and pushing a reactor to it's limit/draining it of all power is likely to cause issues. I can understand why they came up with them however I disagree with how they have been implimented. It certiantly does ship design no favours...

So much agreement to be had, yes yes!! Currently Ship mounted weapons cannot be controled by the AI. However, the player can create fixed weaponary on a docked entity (no turret) with limited firing arcs that fires if a target is within it's cone of fire. This is a complex and entirely...

Lots of head-nodding in agreement :3

I mean they were developed 2 years ago, so I presume they are just sitting around as an un-used asset atm. Hopefully the Universe Update will give the devs a chance to properly impliment them!

SPICEMELANGE Props for he awesome name! I wouldn't be against resources that you can collect to Super-Charge your warp drive. Certaintly would be handy for crossing vast distances, but at a cost. As long as it isn't damage, shield or other combat buffs I'm fine with it (also as long as it is...

Correct, You've hit the nail on the head :D! It certiantly does work, and very well. Personaly I've found the best way to mount it is to have a large ball turret in the middle of your ship (Thus you can easily build around it, it moving doesn't hit anything cause ball yo :P), and have the...

The idea/concept is certiantly solid, it's simply a continuation of the docked armour/sheidling setup from before. The main issue arises from the location of the shield bubble, a decent sized shield can be pretty big imo. You would certiantly want it at the back of your craft for thie design...

Intersting idae. Turrets have certiantly felt quite large comparative to the size of ships in the past. I often even design ships around turrets imo. In a way it makes Weapon systems both harder to hit, but much easier to disable. A solid missile shot hitting a turret would take out a notable...

Maybe a seperate chamber/Modual which has a more "blink" or skim effect, allowing you to reposition in a system within (x) distance of the selected target. Could be affected by jamming or so.

Well said. One of the devs posted not long ago that they purposly keep some of their thoughts and plans seceret because they feel it is better for the development process. Not sure if it works or not, but it seems to be what they stick too. I don't mind what plans they have as long as they...

(Kinda necro but I don't mind :P) Yeah I completly get what you mean ^_^ What I was proposing back then were some gigantic sector-spanning entities as well as upscaling stars. The point being that these were used for endgame material and would draw players together at these points, rather than...

That being said if you take your ship to -ve mass through an exploit you can already break the speedlimit on any server. Try and find servers better suited or even set one up yourself if the speed limits arent to your liking.

Mostly just to prevent server issues (large ship colliding with a planet at high speeds may kill a server) You can remove the speed cap if you want already imo, it's in the server config.

Another sucker for spacy awesomeness here! Anything along this relm would be apprecaited. Litterly anything. Building and scale is what starmade has going for it, other than that the SM universe is pretty empty.
