I guess thats pretty common. The last time i had more than two reactors online i got quite the fps drop. Though it has been a while (and i had weaker hardware back then).

That schould reduce lag a bit, though i think the main issue lies somewhere in supply beams themselfs. Also with turrets: Other then box dim. you should also try to get mostly ones with 360° rotation axes. Last time i checked turrets were increasing server load by having to check for collisions.

Another possibility is to make static PD turrets (basically docked cannons). Their firing arc is extremly limited, but still a decent addition for PD towards the front. Also it's the next best thing if you got barely any space to spare.

The managment thing came to me from star trek games, as many have options to freely divide the energy between the systems as needed. I allways liked that. And of course it would be somewhat fun, being able to drive the ship from a console. As for panels/switchboards: I agree. Limitations are...

With fixed plates it's no problem at all to get good looks. The plates can simply be build to wrap around the main ship. Moving plates on the other hand are the part where it get's serious. I would probably try to have them rotate around the ship. Like satellites or mabye something like this:

I got here two block suggestions, intended mostly for RP and simple convenience. But they might also offer intresting opportunities to operate the ship. 1. The control panel block: (Not an completly new idea, but i thought i coould share my take on this) The block itself will have a fixed...

There are probably a lot of cool things, that can be added. I for one would like different climatic zones and maybe iced mountaintops.

I am not a fan of mining either, so I would like a feature like that too. But it can probably implemented without necessarily loading the sectors. It's planned to populate the starmade universe with alot of live anyways. For example could the sever analyse the ship of an AI pilot as soon the...

Actually to disable a ship at some point seems abselutely necessary to me in terms of game mechanics. If i am shooting at a ship i can more or less tell if it's done for, but the AI is not capable of that. It needs something to define a target as dead so it knows when it can stop shooting. Also...

In generel i am all for some implementation of ammo-usage. But i'm not so sure about different types of ammo. Are we talking about having the cargo blocks linked additionally or instead of an effect slave? Ammunition types would be kinda redundand to effects. Besides that: Maybe we could make...

I don't think an ulitmate goal would be of much benefit aswell. Also, it's not like poeple can't keep themselves entertained. Some servers allready host events and games more or less frequently. And all the little that will give the universe some live are allready anounced, though they still...

The Demeter is used as a military standard transport ship. The engines are build pretty similar to one on bigger ship. She may not have much maneuverability with this setup but still reaches pretty high sublight topspeeds. The ship has gravitational thrusters (stop effect) to stabilize her on...

The Ambriel is intended to be used in missions of unknown circumstances. She has severel missiles that can be easily slaved together, two torpedo turrets (Missile x Beam) the fleet's first implementation of rapid firing disruptor cannons (cannon x cannon x overdrive) wich are themselves are a...

With the old Maya Class to be soon decommissioned, the Outcast's fleet is in need for a new fighter that still fits into the cramped hangars of old cruisers. The Aswang's abilites are very limited due to her small size but in overall still outperforms the Maya. Mass: 28.3 Size: 13x5x9 Power...

The Gorgon has been developed to replace the by now pretty old Maya class harrasmend fighters, wich are just little more than flying bull's eyes. The Gorgon is meant for base defence, like most fighters of the Outcasts Dominion. But, since she's relatively small she sometimes launches from...

The Outcast's Fleet command was in demand for fighters wich can support battle groups in taking douwn enemy shields. This resulted into the Keres. While she can offer reltive strong anti-shield weapons, the board computer has problems dealing with the delicate power reactor. This unfortunately...

First: Oh my! Sorry but i found this to be kind of hilarious and simply had laugh uppon reading this. Maybe partly because i too have to do something similar some time. Now to business: There is some third party software in the community content capable of rotating structures around the core...

I guess it's not a bad idea to worry first about one's own ships. I don't have a plan yet that works well on my style, but i will probably still not be able to dock anything bigger to most old ships of mine. (At least not without more or less drastic changes) Well, at least i can still install...

To have an arm extend beyound boundaries shurely would help, especially, if it becomes possiple to dock from your arm, since this would cut the range for each ship's arm in half. But many designs will have problems with building in long arms. And if you can fit a dock on the very edge of the...

At least docking arms can be used on stations. But ship to ship docking probably will be difficult regardless, like NeoSturm showed. I for example will include USD on my shuttle docks but im afraid that my building style for bigger ships simply dose not allow for much compatibility. So i am...
