      Female Avatar: Stephanie (the counterpart to Steve)

      While Steve is an awesome character, who should be totally iconic, I can't help but think the game forces the player into a box. I think it would be a pleasant cosmetic choice, to be able to choose either Steve, our current male pilot...or Stephanie, his female counterpart. It wouldn't change...

      The ultimate drone R&D thread

      Please do, I'd look forward to it. Really what I'm trying to build is a Distraction Swarm™. I want to be able to get to a Pirate station, get to one of the docks, and force my way in (I have no ship currently powerful enough to down a pirate station before it will call buddies who will force...

      The ultimate drone R&D thread

      Question - is there a drone tutorial for the current version of StarMade, that will teach me how to launch a single drone from a single bay?

      Overclocking your 8-bit CPU or Logic :)

      Because we're super-nerds. ;) That, and we can understand it by having a reasonable grasp of the fundaments of computer science.

      Council Survey Thread: FINAL ROUND

      Submitted. While I did a good job of talking about my choices (except for the ones that are self explanatory), I had some thoughts you may want to share with Schine that it seems like other people have already said. Since this is going to Schine, I think I should say them anyways. First: All...

      Working 8-bit CPU =D

      Can you upload this 8bit computer as a ship please? As a programmer, I'd be VERY interested to look at this. Alternatively, could this 8bit computer be added to the game as a single block? It'd be awesome to have computer science happening in a space game, because I'm a super-geek (but, not...

      a suggestion about boarding, core drilling, scanner, the meaning of life,the universe and everything

      I didn't know that. I knew you could hit Space to align to a ship in zero-G, but I didn't realize that it connected you to the ship's physics. I'll have to try that when I get home and see if this is right, I don't remember the physics working this way.

      Skin Request: Mega Man X

      So, I've seen the ODST skin on a player on the server I play on, so I'd like to get a Mega Man X skin. Either X or Zero is a good idea. X: Factory armor X: Advanced armor Zero: Factory armor

      a suggestion about boarding, core drilling, scanner, the meaning of life,the universe and everything

      I think for boarding - and, a FPS-like experience like you're describing - to happen, there needs to be a few things: Physics: Inertia - Ideally you'd board a ship in motion, and the security team on your ship would have their laser pistols out. This can't happen if ships clip through...

      Ship blueprint presets (Default ships)

      Yes. Yes yes yes. I've lost a few (crappy) ships, simply because I didn't know how to build a ship in the first place. Also, while some people would say, "Oh, go read the Wiki, you bloody casual! Blargh! [Insert Nerd Rage]", that's a huge barrier - modern game design teaches us not to...

      Door Locks

      I think that your password suggestion and my dumb lock idea are two different things, but I think having both is a good idea. Maybe the keypad can be shot out, but the dumb lock is more durable? Vice versa? There are all sorts of ways to do this.

      Esthar Fleet Technologies

      If you like ships that are functional and sleek, you've come to the right place. In this thread, I'm going to be posting screenshots/videos/download links to all Esthar Fleet Technologies creations. My designs are all based around form and function being in harmony - a good ship doesn't have...

      Server to Server Gate/Portal?

      In a way they already do, if you can get at the list of available servers. We've already got a warp gate effect. How about while connecting to the other server, you're "experiencing a lengthy warp", during which time the connection is made, and block data set up? All your mod would need is...

      Multi-coloured Light Block

      I so agree. I'm working on a frigate* right now, and I've got a working "Red Alert" system. Each deck has groups of Red, Yellow, and White lights that are hooked up to switches in the tactical control room. It would be so nice to drop the other groups and be able to program the light blocks...

      Speaker/"Boombox" Block

      StarMade is a very atmospheric game, that I enjoy greatly. That said, I find the lack of music disturbing. To remedy this lack of aural stimulation in this space simulation, I suggest the legendary Boom Block. Boom Block HP: 50 Armor: 0% "Plays a sound that nearby astronauts can hear. Press...
