What about the users that are currently being deterred by aggressive moderation? I for one am feeling like I need to walk on eggshells to post anything here and even then I don't know what slip of the keyboard might result in punishment. It feels too oppressive.

In my view, damage pulse is pretty much completely useless as a close-range primary weapon - shotguns should be improved enough to take over that role, with a tighter cone of fire so they can still be somewhat effective at up to 500m or so and be able to hit properly. Pulse is only really useful...

LvD has stabilizer distance halved, if I remember right. Try playing there.

Helm controls need to come with movable ship cores, or deprecate ship cores altogether. With the way 2.0 creates variable distance requirements, not being able to move the ship core to adjust for this has gone from a small annoyance to a very large one.

It's far worse for stations.

The problem with multiple reactors isn't merely "one at a time" - we could kinda live with that to a degree - it's the switchover time which leaves us vulnerable and is a terrible idea in combat, and even out of combat it's a PITA to sit and wait.

We could tie scanner range to scanner strenth directly and have them be one and the same, each level of strength increasing active scan range out a little further. That said, either the root recon chamber or no chamber at all should still be sufficient to get system data, and the ore scanner...

All that Schine needs to do to stop failing is to just talk to us, tell us the truth from their end, and listen honestly to what we have to say from ours. That's it.

I'd rather get rid of the shield bubble altogether as I don't think it adds enough to the game to justify the complexity, buuuuttt.... this seems like an okay suggestion.

The Chrysoprase is a vertically-oriented mining ship capable of defending itself against small opponents. While it's not the most beautiful ship right out of the box, feel free to paint and decorate it as you see fit! Advantages include: Wide salvage array backed by Mining 2 and Ore Scanner...

Interesting and flavorful. There should be more of a role for exploration and science ships anyway!

I like to have 999 enhancers on each factory (for a total of 1000 item production) and then if I need less, just add less material in. But I never automated my factories very heavily except for temporary cross-linking for specific orders (eg. gray hull and black paint running in two factories...

It could go either way, really. It was originally about Windows 10 but I relabelled it. Don't think about it too hard. In retrospect I should have stretched the plane out to be twice as long though.

Starmade 201.xxx, coming in Q4 2019....

Manually guided TOW-like missiles could be cool. Hm!

I think it'd be better to give missiles tracking by default and then possibly (but not necessarily) remove it on mis/can.

It's proportional to your shield capacity - "dps" is somehting like any hits worth 25% or less of your shield capacity with each hit, while "alpha" is 50% and up. Something like that. From what I can gather, anything that qualifies as "alpha" can easily kill you anyway so hardening against it is...

While getting rid of the shield bubbles and going back to the old style of shield coverage would certainly be helpful, in my opinion the biggest failing of new shields is that they don't recharge under fire. This makes shield recharge no longer a viable defensive option, and it means that you...

The danger of a star depends on its temperature and size. Small red stars will allow you to get quite close, while blues and especially giants have a much larger burn radius. If you want tekt, it's probably easier to claim a system with a cool star that has somewhat close asteroid belts.

What's wrong with chain drives? How are they an "exploit?" They never gave anyone an unfair advantage... they just make the game less of a pain-in-the-ass to travel around and thus were good for the game. Not bad. Why should the galaxy be more tedious and slower to fly around in, and require...
