      Light wedges

      Is it your game settings or GPU maybe? I can tell when lights are on or off pretty easily myself. Another option is grab the texture sheet containing the lights and darken the texture yourself. Actually here you go, I lowered the brightness on the 'off' textures by 25, so just replace the light...

      CraftAU - Starmade

      Well the admins here are pretty good. I have had my share of troll admins over the years and if even one was a turd I'd not be here. They're good at keeping the rules upheld and deal with exploiters and such promptly. E.g Spawn camping will see a player gone permanently pretty quick. As long as...

      CraftAU - Starmade

      When we joined we were noobs like anyone else, and there was 1 big faction. They had a massive head start on everyone. We didn't complain or whine, we rose to the challenge. I mean 'the competition" you refer to going to play on, well one in particular has had the same universe going for years...

      CraftAU - Starmade

      That's the thing though, you do not need teamspeak to play on this server. It's just my factions policy that anyone who wishes to join us uses it. We require it. Just us and our faction. Not the server. Not sure how the teamspeak thing is even an issue. Again to be clear, no one is forced to...

      I'd assume it's because modern day developers are worried about a backlash when a feature doesn't worked as advertised or gets scrapped etc. etc. "WHY DOES X NOT WORK AS STATED 12 MONTHS AGO!!!!!!!!! U IZ BAD DEVS WAAAAAAAAH" Something a simple disclaimer would fix. "Feature X is planned for...

      ai needs to be fixed and updated. also a new bug report site. my rant and suggestions.

      The AI right across the board is pretthy broken at the moment. Mind you turrets seem to work fine for me more often than not. On the overall state of AI though I agree with you completely, it's essentially the core feature of gameplay at the moment and something needs to be done about it asap...

      also what is the status on AI fleets? Will they be fixed in the next patch? They don't spawn or activate correctly, our of range, essentially dead in the water. But will sometimes come to life surprisingly if you try to board them. While Pirates and Trade guild are broken the already limited...

      Misquoting me there. :p It will add strategy to how you board ships. Recon a ship if it's teleporters are trapped, then board another way, if a ships got no defences then teleport away. Work out what they have and then how to counter them. A ship with zero power is gonna have a hard time...

      CraftAU - Starmade

      It's not a war server. But it is not totally PVE either, it's PvEvP. PVP is not compulsory, people will often not go to war with others without cause, though mind you wars can begin for shits and giggles. It's always the way with a server that has PvP. Most of the community is welcoming and...

      It will add strategy to the game, and make people pick their targets more carefully. I mean this thinking could be applied to every mechanic in the game. Some people forget to faction turrets meaning they shoot down their own missiles. Some do not know how to faction their bases, or add defenses...

      Might be time to change that and remove such stations from the code if possible, or at least generate a better station. Although I don't mind them myself as they're good for start up noobs to go after. Thing I noticed that bugs most people about them is the name "Prate", but I've told them I'd...

      Scanners work on everything.

      I'd also suggest giving them a buff, make an upgradeable resource/price/power cost heavy scanner with a much longer range than 4 sectors by default. With such a large universe you need counters to decrease the needle in a haystack feel that comes along with it and increase player interaction and...

      Oddly enough was just talking to friends about teleporters the other day. Let us hope they're done right. Racing.... yeah not sure about that one, but as something that is optional not a biggie, can we attack people who are racing? Honestly would like to see more focus on actual 'space sim'...

      Planned Global Skins

      Yeah I have searched and talked to people, while not impossible, it's very improbable as you said. It's been around for years, but again simple to fix with uploaded skins getting a recode before hitting the server would remove or disable any malicious code, even then you'd need something in the...

      Scanners work on everything.

      Pretty simple idea, make scanner detect all ships, AI, Player controlled, and unmanned ships. Especially helpful in situations like the current one where if you're lucky enough to spawn a pirate ship from attacking a station, it spawn miles away and often out of nav/visual range. Just for me...

      Planned Global Skins

      Good luck getting a .png file to execute as.... well an executable or script on a server. I have been asking around and cannot find anyone with facts who can tell me a starmade skin virus is even a thing let alone possible. Plus nearly every game I have played since the 90's allowed players to...

      Planned Global Skins

      Honestly I am going to have to add this to the list of waste of time focus for development ideas, like retexturing blocks that don't need it , renaming ores because purple and heaven forbid space whales Sure there's the we need something to keep 2D and 3D artists or whatever busy apparently, but...

      Realistic System Requirements for Starmade?

      Thanks to everyone who has replied so far. I actually saw it running okay with everything at starmades defaults on a 4gb HP pavillion laptop with Intel HD and 32bit Java and Win 10 64bit, mind you it was a fresh install, single player and a fresh spawn. When I see it online and with some ships...
