      How to: Home bases WITHOUT lag

      I'm going to give this one a definitive "no." Hiding your total strength docked at your homebase would be an enormous advantage, currently if you want to hide your total strength you need to put in the effort required to dismantle your ships when not in use or store your ships in vulnerable...

      Criss' Thread

      Criss Variants: as many as you can stuff into the game logically. Once you guys get a good naming convention and a system in place for spawning them up and running this would add untold layers of depth to the game for a relatively small labor investment. And the best part is, this doesn't have...

      Saber's Thread

      10/5: Would lick space mushroom and trip so hard I think it's a good idea to swap all my hull with Parseen Crystals and send Saber a photocopy of my diary.

      Space Elevators

      In my own testing, while this "works" some of the time, it's extremely unreliable. So if you've got a way that makes it work consistently, let me know.

      Space Elevators

      Plus there's the added obstacle of rails moving hella slow. That's not a huge issue, because for me a space elevator is just a cool thing you can build. But having a viable way to make the elevator an actual elevator that moves faster than 1 m/s would add practicality to them. But yeah...

      Holographic Display

      Those aren't holograms, that's just a ship with some transparency effect added. They use the same amount of resources as real ships. It's a neat idea, but even if it could be put into the game tomorrow, holograms have very little actual use, both as a decoration and as a function. It's not...

      Holographic Display

      I was more referring to his idea of 2d gifs and images, largely because the idea of holographic 3d images seems a bit intense for Starmade, and although they would be cool on a small scale a system like that would be extremely complex, resource intensive, and not worth the effort.

      Holographic Display

      Honestly, ToasterBorst's work with displays is so good, I don't see a need for this. Here's basically what you're asking for. With his work you can do advanced lettering, symbols, pictures, you name it. It just takes a small time investment before you can crank them out quickly and efficiently.

      Cool find, I'd be interested to know whether or not this is intentional as well.

      How to toggle a turret on or off via remote - my solution

      It's probable that the the devs would be open to making this a game mechanic, such as using an inner ship remote to control a turret's status via logic. High signal going to turret docker would be on, and a low signal would be off. I'll make a thread if nobody else does. But yeah, this...

      Recognized by Council Its science!

      All of these suggestions are planned in some form or another. The crew update will add functionality to sciency stuff, like medical bays or a dedicated lab or engineering. The flora and fauna update will probably include some sort of interaction with biological matter, be it food or some...

      Damn Saber, your thread is blowing up like a hot air balloon with a grenade in it. Super informative stuff so far, is very nice.

      Saber's Thread

      I feel you, but wedges make awful looking stairs. Doesn't even need to be a hull type, just that shade of grey, and I know a lot of dedicated builders would lose their minds with gratefulness.

      Saber's Thread

      HOLY HELL IS THAT A STAIR BLOCK? I know it isn't, and I know many people object to having stairs because they don't see a need for them, but I sure as hell think the game could use a block that can be climbed easily that isn't a ramp, ladder, or a 4 block long slab stair. I would settle for...
