Props to the OP for making this thread, your post is well detailed and valuable feedback for the devs. My conclusions: =>Having required distances for stabilizers should not be a thing. Remove the distance mechanic. =>Stabilizers should take on a different role. They contribute little to the...

I see what your getting at :P It could be part of the faction permission modual as such, to distinguish the entity from the mother. (Docking without benefits) :P

Wait..... so all your stabilizers need to be part of the same group to work for a reactor o_O......... Why is this a thing? Doesn't seem very engaging, just frustrating building wise. Edit: Thank goodness that was clarified, don't scare us like that :P

I have yet to see any of the devs make an un-constructive or negative comment regarding player feedback on the in-development build. Some examples: Etc..... they are keen for our feedback, have taken it onboard and have been testing player suggestions as well when they can. Nothing wrong...

Thank you for being so open to feedback! There is a lot of good discussion here. I personaly think that stabilizors do have a place, providing value to a ship however their current state struggles to add much to a ship beyond forcing a player to build a certian way because 'reasons'. I would...

Thank you for the informative post! Do you know if the chamber effects apply to docked entities/turrets?

How many advanced layers was that btw:? Did it have defensive effects on?

Apologies, I meant to imply encountering these situations off player servers e.g the game spawning derelict ships, sometimes in dangerous locations for players to find. Not having to rely on the rare chance that a player would actually leave ships lying about for it to happen. I would love to...

One memorable moment in Starmade for me was when I found a giant player built ship orbiting near a star. It was crafted like some celestial white ark with biodomes and the alike encircling it :D It seems a player had jumped to close to the star and died before he could jump out an was unable to...

I've had similar issues in the past. Creating working turrets sometimes just requires re-doing them until they work. You'll want to make sure they have enough mass enhancers (althougth they arent required for manual movement so that isnt the issue). Sometimes the direction the base and turret...

Nicely done! The cinematics were very well done. At the end I imagine the ship warping out just before reaching the star :P

Quite a useful post thanks! That got me thinking about ship design, and about designing your ship so that shots through systems over-pen and do minimal damage. I could see system tendrils with their own shielding being quite difficult to damage but quite space consuming. For now I gues I'll...

Interesting idea. So, in essence this is 'structural integrity' , and the larger the armour mass at an area, the better the hp of that armour scales. This would make larger ships more durable, but hardly affect smaller ships however.

+1 to this. Purely catering to the explorers, being able to select a name for discovered objects/receive reputation/something would be pretty cool as well. I would love for players to beable to trade star-charts as well as create points, icons and notes on various entities on the map. Obviously...

This is just a thought up proposal from a dedicated community fan :P You wouldn't expect everything to be covered/factored in. That being said you do have a good point. How the damage path works would be very important to how ships are built. From what I can tell, damage is applied in an ever...

Agreed. I feel that ship designs shouldn't be forced into shapes, and that a player should beable to make a hull, then outfit the ship without needing to rip holes all across it just so the reactor works :/ Overall I don't see much of a need for stabilizors. I would much rather they simply...

You had them saved as blueprints I hope? You can just copy them from the bp folder. Always a good idea to save your creations after every session, I've learnt that the hard way :/ I agree with this. You could have high storage, low e/s, low storage but high e/s or a mix. Now I feel ship...

Have you tried running an older version of starmade with smedit? I find that often works and fixes any compatibility issues, and you just save as a BP and upload to a newer version. I'm more than happy to help as well when I can get my laptop repaired lol.

Some good discussion here, My main beef with expanding (particualy on pvp servers) is that anything not docked to your homebase can and will be destroyed. Players can easily abuse the AI and can wait (and see when) you go offline. There will always be a player bigger than you 99% of the time...

15 per charging weapon block, 3 per block when charged is what I've heard said. (thus 20% of the charging cost required to keep it charged). I would much rather the functional part of cloaking be removed from the chambers and instead become a part of how you build your ship, but no where near as...
