I've gone through a number of council applications and really, in the "why me" portion all I see is the same promise to be objective and neutral and impartial and listening, etcetera, etcetera. Don't get me wrong, those are great and necessary qualities, but right now everyone's parading with...

Firstly, those things your're teleporting with are called wormholes. Warpgates are player-built structures that function similarly. Secondly, that sounds like a fairly significant issue. I would like to direct you towards the StarMade bug tracker, which is the the best way to get this resolved...

Seeing as something very much like this system is now clearly in development, should this not be taagged accordingly?

The problem with that is, last I checked, all hull shapes have the same mass and EHP. This means 1:1 conversion between shapes is more sound, both realistically and balance-wise. From a realistic perspective, if it has he same mass, all of the original matter must have been used in consuming it...

I've been thinking the same thing. Non-arbitrary recipes, more or less. Machine frames, processors, capacitors, coils and crystals, not two dozen generic, basic raw materials that you use for everything.

I wholeheartedly agree. Although I would personally prefer seeing a separate block for this, and many other already-possible tasks, it should be noted it would work just as well without one. Factories already "know" what they're supposed to produce, so they could easily be made to accept...

Although I will not speak for the dev team, as far as I can see, this goes directly against their philosophy on several levels. The key point being your statement: And there shouldn't be. Scalability is a core concept of the game, time and time again endorsed by the devs as something they're...

Seeing as this was mostly agreed with, and we've just received this fancy new rating system, I will take the liberty of bumping this thread. It's addmittedly half a year old, but the aspects of the game it discusses haven't changed much.

Notch did explain this on his blog. Basically, he didn't like the pressure that comes with working on huge projects when you've become a public figure. You can read his full statement at http://notch.tumblr.com/. I couldn't find a permalink, but it doesn't look like that blog is going to receive...

As with all suggestions floating about regarding convenience features, I say do not implement them. Let players implement them, in-game, by giving us the tools to do so. Simply putting a taxi system in the game might be easier, but there can't be hard-coded solutions for every conceivable...

Alright, if you look at it like that.

What surprises me is the "recognized" tag. Variations of programmable blocks have been suggested for ages, this is by no means new. One would think the devs would have heard of this, even if they haven't put much thought into it.

If we can't have the thread moved back to the general discussion forum, how about we repost it?

Aaaand this is buried beneath FTL tweaking, elevator, quest and docking system suggestions. I told you so, moving this to the suggestions forum was a horrible idea, you might as well have deleted it outright.

Is this such a good idea? The suggestions forum is where threads die within days, particularly the well-written and agreeable ones, since they aren't flooded with bumps from people critizising it. I've always thought this is why the manifesto-style threads belong in the significantly more...

Hang on- we can actually program our NPCs already? How extensive is this function? What kind of I/O abilities do we have? How complex scripts can we insert? What's the input method besides chat? After one and a half year pf requesting this, finding it like this is somewhat anticlimatic.

Nah, a solution like that is way too hard-coded. The issue will never be solved until the game has a proper replacement for manpower.

Huh. I was considering making a similar suggestion myself, but of course I could never match the quality of an original Keptick manifesto. One concern I have is the implementation of the harvester you suggest. The base concept is definitely sound, but simply having a block that spits out more...

I largely agree with this. I've been a proponent of above-linear armor scaling for quite some time now, and made similar suggestions before. However, I believe that while using the entire ship mass for measure would help keep armor for larger ships on par with that of smaller ones, it wouldn't...
